Where does the time go?

I am so cool!

I look pretty!

I was told by a friend of mine, that I needed to get busy and do some posting.  So I started looking at the random pictures I have taken of my beautiful children in the last 6 months.  That's IT!  Just 6 months!!  I couldn't believe how much the two of them have changed in that short amount of time.  I am so blessed to be able to stay-at-home and enjoy every moment of it.

Hair today, Gone tomorrow!

Last Friday, Daddy did the dreaded dead.  We've been talking about having Owen get a haircut for about a month or so.  Daddy sent mommy a text saying that he was going to take Owen to get a haircut after picking him up from school.  So, mommy was quite surprised when she came home to find her little boy looking like a big boy.  Even some of Owen's closest friends didn't recognize him the first time they saw him.  Good news, he won't need another haircut until August!

Girls Just Want To Have Fun!

"Princess, ALL the time!"  This is what Allie will tell you when she is in her full royal wardrobe.  Lately, that's all we've been about.  Jewelry, lip gloss, shoes, purses and pretty dresses.  For those of you who know me, I own less than 25 pairs of shoes.  I can go days without any makeup.  Plus, I only wear dresses for special occasions.  Where did this child come from?  Maybe she was put here to inspire me to be more feminine?  I think I'll wear makeup to Bunco tonight:)

Appropriate?

Tonight, at the dinner table, we were sitting around it eating our food when out of the corner of my eye I notice Owen was wiggling in the bench.  He had spilled his water in his lap and now he was uncomfortable in his wet jeans.  I told him he could take his jeans off and continue eating.  I continued to eat and didn't realize that Owen had thought of a better idea.  He took his underwear off and then proceeded to stand up on the bench, turn around, touch his toes and then wag his bottom from side-to-side (which was visible above the table) giggling and asking, "Is this appropriate?"  I thought I was going to die!!!  I had to look away to keep from choking on my pizza.  Jake was trying so hard to keep a straight face.  We eventually got him to put his underwear back on and finish his dinner.  This gives new meaning to dinner-theater!

Maui, Wowee!

Words can't describe the fun, the beauty and the memories that was last week.  However pictures can capture a moment of that time.  Enjoy these wonderful moments from our Maui vacation.

Rice A Roni...

Last Saturday, Jake and I embarked on an amazing vacation.  We went to San Francisco for an over night stay before heading on to Maui.  We loved every minute of it.  The Price's and us explored the area for 24 hours.  We ate the most amazing chowder, rode the cable cars, walked up the biggest freaking hill (just ask my glutes), checked out fisherman's warf and San Francisco port and Jake and I even ran across the Golden Gate Bridge and back.  This run was suppose to be a simple 3 mile run.  It turned out to be an 8 mile mostly up-hill into a strong head wind run.  But I wouldn't change a thing about this short visit.  In fact, I can't wait to go back to the treat.

Exotic taste buds!

For those of you who know me, even just an acquaintance, know that Jake and I are "particular" eaters.  Well, the last time we went to New York Jake got crazy and tried some Indian food.  He was hooked!  He has sense been debating on whether or not to try some here in Wichita.  The other night he got some as take out and brought it home.  It was called Chicken Vindaloo.  He liked it and even more bizarre...I tried it and liked it!  So, last night, Jake wanted to get some again.  I told him I would get what he had and he decided to try something new, Chicken Spinach.  Here is where the evening gets exciting.  Jake opened his up and the first thing you hear is me, Owen and Allison all making disgusted noises.  Then out of the blue, Allie decides she wants to try it.  Even though Owen announced that it resembled Swamp Goo, she took a sample from daddy's fork.  She chewed it over a little then declared, "Good!"  Turning to daddy she demands, "More, Now!"  This went on until there wasn't much left.  I would like to add, Owen and I stood our ground.  It DID look like Swamp Goo!  We didn't try any.
