So I am undecided as to whether or not I will make an effort to keep up to date on the blog. Most of the people who read it I see on a regular basis, so I don't really see the point. However, here is our life in pictures (again).

 This picture made me laugh my guts out. I may or may not frame this and hang it somewhere in my house. 

 My kids seem to sleep in the weirdest positions.

 We met one of the coolest people ever. Tim Duncan of the Spurs. No, I did not bake him cookies. 

 We had a wonderful Christmas! We decided not to go overboard on presents this year. Then I made the mistake of sending Kurt to toys r us to pick up a bike for Seth. I have learned for next year to not send Kurt to a toy store. Ever. 

Ethan got jackpot at Fat Cats. 1000 tickets. If I ever turn to gambling he will be my lucky charm.

 All the kids got pink eye.

 Ethan has a six pack. What the freak?

 My little niece gives the best kisses. Beautiful Stella.

 Ski day with Kurt's family!! First time on my new skis, so fun!

This little girl loves her daddy more than just about anything.

 This little guy gave up plugs!! Actually he bit the end off of both of his within a couple days of each other and I decided I'm not buying him any more.

 This little beauty turned 1!! And she's officially a crawler!

 Silly Seffy.

 Seth started in an older class at My Gym. He was pretty darn proud of himself.

 Really, does it get any cuter than this little girl?!

 The boys got their own shaving set. (pretend, of course)

 He literally screamed until I wiped this off his face. He just doesn't like to be dirty. :)

 Playing super heroes with Daddy.

And lastly, shopping at the hardware store. Also with kurt, I am not nearly patient enough to let them both drive their own carts.

Here's a sequence of what happens when we say bye to daddy.

Ethan is 5!!

I let Ethan pick out what he wanted to do for his birthday. I had narrowed it down to a bouncy house and Creature Encounters, and he chose the snakes. Duh. It was a really fun party!! For the adults as well as the kids! The zoologist was very knowledgeable and fun to talk to and he had answers to all the questions we could think of to ask. The animals and insects were docile and fun, and really they were quite beautiful, in a creepy crawly sort of way. They are a lot more beautiful in this environment than they would be if I ran into them in the garden. The scorpions are famous, they were just filming in The Lone Ranger with Johnny Depp last month. Pretty cool if you ask me.
