dear mom,

Cindy Meanna is in good hands.

Snappys, Pumping, Climbing, Slides, and Smiles

Fun at the McKenna Children's Museum

Nurse Rylie

Serious shoppers.  

Such a good Dad.

Even I couldn't say no to fish from such a cute worker!

Do you feel safer?

Random confession: I am really, really NOT into space stuff.  Movies, toys, gadgets- I don't get it.  Truthfully, space and dinosaurs are tied for the thing I am least interested in.  Lack of interest aside, I couldn't pass up the chance to take a fun picture of these bubbly, perfectly round, unique and colorful planets.

Just incase you forgot where we live now.  

Paper mache fish.  Very cool.

Catching Up!

Despite what our post-less blog would suggest, the fun and silliness has continued here at home!  Click here to check out a quick video of some recent pictures.  

Rylie's Four!

Toby and I have been blessed to be Rylie's parents for FOUR years!  

Check out how we celebrated -fancy style- with all of Rylie's girliest friends.  Special thanks to Lauren Salinas and Michelle Reidesel for being accessory, tatoo, photography, and pbj experts!

ps.  Holly, this one's for you! 

Kiss Me, I'm Irish.. AND It's Breakfast for Dinner!

Last year, we shared about our newly established tradition of breakfast for dinner.  This year, thanks to some St. Patrick's Day cookies and a fantastically fun idea for rainbow pancakes by Lauren, we've really stepped things up!  We even got lucky enough to celebrate with the Sam-Man!

Fringe Benefits

Just one of the trade-offs for Toby's long hours! 

This yummy apple cake is from the same patient who had a hat custom made for Toby that says:

"Wilford Hall Urology

...the place to be when you can't pee!"  

So Fancy!

Thanks Grandma Lees for the fabulous bathrobe!

Our Baking Adventure Continues!

Conclusions: 

Chocolate Pudding Pie: Good

Strawberry Shortcake: Bisquick recipe is better (although there may have been some baker error in there)

Frosting Wars: Great! 

I also have to note that you can learn a lot about depth of field by photographing a carton of eggs.  A fun idea just in time for Easter! 

The Naked Truth

This girl LOVES to color!  

A Whole Lotta Cute!

Special thanks goes to Rylie and Reagan's stylist: Grandma Shields :)
