Elliott – Welllll, sometimes I just get scared.

Mom – I understand, but you are a big boy and there’s nothing to be scared of.

Elliott – Ok, Mom. I will try my best.

(Claire is jamming her princess wand into a bucket)

Elliott – Don’t do that sweetie, you don’t want to break your wand.

Elliott – Yes, that might help my cough.

(He blows his nose and starts coughing)

Celebrating Mom's 60th Birthday

It's been a while since we had a sister's weekend so we decided to get everyone together and celebrate Mom's 60th birthday...in January. Better late then never. 

Love you, Mom! 

January 30-31

K'Lyn and I may or may not have had too much to drink. Ok, I probably had more.
Either that or I just can't hold my liquor like my sister can. 

Pedicures - one of the ladies doing our nails said you are considered lucky in her country if you have 5 girls.
Just one more, Mom! :)

Claire - 18 Months

I missed a few monthly updates for Claire and am just now catching up. I'm looking back at some of her earlier ones and reminiscing on the ones where I started "Claire is seriously the happiest baby ever..." Let’s just say that you won’t hear those words come out of my mouth these days. She hit the terrible twos in full force at the ripe age of 15 months. I think it started with a combination of breaking several new teeth at a time and battling a few ear infections. She knows exactly what she wants and when she wants it and she will throw a fit if you don’t get it for her. She tries so hard to keep up with her older brother and some days she is successful, which usually ends in giving mom either a heart attack or a mental breakdown. Someday I will appreciate her tenacity. Someday…

Who needs toys?

I gave her some of my old makeup and she knew exactly what to do with it.

What a cheeser.

I know you want me to sit down, but I'd rather pretend I didn't hear you.
