Cousins, Cousins, everywhere!

Tending these girls is so much fun. I took this pic of Brooke and  Kate for Punjabbit and Marvo. You can't see too much, but I figure at least you can tell that she's pleasant and fat. Changing Brooke makes mino and kate's bums look massive...... 

A way nice dad

I have seen Joe clean up my puke, consistently do the dishes, laundry, and clean toilets when I'm totally capable, support and listen to me when I'm going nuts, but nothing compares to the spitty toothbrush that he let mino shoves WAY down his throat time and again during a Jazz game. 

Mills first golf game

Mino Golfs. Yep. I call that her superstar stance. 

Hot Wheels for Mills

Ha, forget five dollar footlongs, mill's first car cost that much. We found this baby at DI where Joe decided "that we should all really have our own car, bethy." So Mills is now the owner of this bad boy.  Too bad we still don't have a garage....

Cheap toys are always the best

I am not naturally that tan.

Taking pictures of yourself is such icky business. We take a good 500, desperately trying to look casually beautiful, and only look at ourselves in the photo. Hence the fact that Joe isn't even smiling. I was too concerned with trying to make myself look like Jessica Alba. 

Jazz v clippers

These are my jazz fans. They're pretty die hard. Mills bobbs around saying "Bah-Ball Bah-Ball"  I was thrilled to see Cierra Johnson on this blog. You wonderful thing, you. I have no idea how to twist that last pic around. No one knows how to do that kind of stuff. 

Mills flipping out

This is for Lee. It's as close to her crazy face that I can get.  She clenches her fists, opens her eyes as wide as they go, and vibrates. 

Sophisticated and contemporary Easter decor

This was as much fun as I've had in a long time. I do have a tiff with the egg-dye company, though. Several dyes are exactly the same color on an egg. See how there's a few magenta colored eggs? Those were supposed to be various shades of purple, pink, and red. I want my $3.88 back.

A milestone....

Mill's first Couch Hut. I have such fond memories of these. I remember Leah and I could both lay on top of them without it collapsing. We were either very small or happened to defy all laws of science. But I swear it really happened. 

Kate and Mills

We love it when Kate comes to play. I wouldn't have guessed it, but Amelia usually is the leader when they're over  here. Maybe it's because she sporadically slaps Kate in the face. Yep. My kid's the hitter. She keeps coming over anyway. 

Bibs are entirely useless.

Mommies have to clean up so many messes. 

Once in a lifetime opportunity

So this is impressive because Mino (another nickname) isn't a snuggly baby. I caught this the other day, and grabbed a camera so that we have at least one instance on film where she is affectionate. Could be the last. Maybe a hug on graduation if we're lucky.
