Happy 36th Birthday...

to

our favorite mechanic,

 the best teeter-totter partner,

the most handsome hugger,

the crazy guy who swims the freezing Colorado River,

 and the silly guy who makes us all laugh.

WE LOVE YOU!

Merry Christmas

This is why I don't attempt to take family pictures...

Durn purtiest snowflake ever

Bekah made her debut as "a snowflake" in the school play " A Snow White Christmas." Her fan club raved about her stellar performance and all agreed she really rocked the part. Perhaps a Tony is in her future? I'll be happy as long as she mentions in her acceptance speech how her mom bribed encouraged her to try out for her first play. 

I wish I felt like...

... but instead I'd rather just...

8 is...cool

   Oh how grateful I am for my loving, responsible, kind, funny, beautiful, athletic, sensitive, strong Kathryn!  I love her so much, I actually MADE her birthday dessert. Gasp! It was edible too...scrumptious actually.

Happy 8th Birthday Kate!

The cause of all his woes...

Ouch

I think the rocker won this match...
