What we did on Black Friday

November 26, 2010

Happy Black Friday!

We did not indulge in the commercial hoopla of Christmas...instead we partook in birthday celebration!

Jake is always excited when his mama gets presents...even if it's a week late! :)

Sayer is a SCREAM!

October 30, 2010

He took me by the finger and led me outside. We were swinging on the front porch, screaming, "WEEE!" and "Choo-choo!"--the swing is a train--when he started talking about Jake and his tail.

Me: "And where is your tail?"
Sayer: *grabs behind* "Here!"
:)

I thought I would just share a bit about one of the furries running around our house. He's our wittle ritty rat! Isn't he too cute? (He knows it, and he knows you know it, too. ; )

Look for the other 5 soon on a facebook near you!
(I know I am now a crazy cat person, thankyouverymuch.)

He did not want to leave Aunt Monica!

Sasha and Hobie are complete opposites, but ya know what they say about opposites...

As soon as we got the pipe cleaners out of the shopping bag, he knew what they were!

Apples to Apples 2

August 20, 2010

After dinner last night, we played Apples-to-Apples. I tried to get a photo of the entire table, but no such luck. I also tried to get a picture of Jake being happy that his mommy finally won a card before he stole her shoe. But Erin and Josh seem to be enjoying themselves here. :)

(This is seriously the only game I can win. ;)

We also went to lunch at Rolando's, and Josh treated us. It was sooo good. I also met one of Zach's friends who shares my cousins' unique last name (Shurtleff). We had a great time hanging out with you guys yesterday. :) THANK YOU!!!
