Family means the most

Can I just complain for a second?

Can I just tell you how stir crazy I (we) am (are)? I would call it the winter blues, but it's a sunny summer day.

And NO relief in sight. Although the numbers are going down...

IF we leave the house, we gather our water bottles and leave before 8am. Go to a few stores, wipe our dripping sweaty faces and are home by 10am. I leave my a/c at 80 degrees. If I start feeling like it's too hot inside, I just step outside. When I come back in - wow - the house is chilly! Long days inside. Lots of television.
Thank you for listening. I'm done.

Birthday Pictures!

Photos courtsey of Target Portrait Studios.

(Because I'm to cheap to go anywhere else.)

(And, I might have edited the photos in PhotoShop myself, just a little.)

someone is playing tricks on me

My baby can't be two yet....can he?

good mornin' spud! we've got a busy day planned for you!
who doesn't like waking up to presents?

yummy breakfast

off to go shopping (at ikea. mostly for mom & dad's list, but the boys got to run around and climb on couches, open cupboards, etc. definately a birthday activity.)

Lunch at Rosa's. We haven't seen one of these since Midland! I don't love the food, but the tortillas are great.

Eli enjoyed the day as well.

Auntie and Greg joined us for dinner and cake.

"Happy Birthday to you." Don't be shy, spud.

There's a smile.

Is that ALL mine?

Ahhh......

And, of course, the cake.

Happy Birthday to the cutest two year old I know!

Happy Fourth

I had way to much fun with the boys' shirts this year.
Hope you had a happy fourth!
