Phone issues…
If you are trying to call, I apologize! My phone is being repaired. Please send me an email instead. Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!
Happy Happy (belated) Birthday (to me)!
I had a VERY fantastic birthday yesterday with my family-breakfast in bed, a pedicure, delicious food made by my hubby, JENGA…who could ask for anything more?
Abbie had very specific instructions for the cake…
And now for 10 things you may (or may not) know about me:
1. I know every single line to Raising Arizona, Dumb and Dumber, and Zoolander.
2. I am pretty much a klutz-especially when wheels or any type of skate is attached to my feet.
3. I sing (loudly) in the car when I’m driving…especially if Queen comes on the radio, but more often than not, I am rocking out to the Backyardigans.
4. Speaking of which, I pretty much only listen to the classic rock “oldies” station (when I get to choose)-did you know they consider REM “oldies” these days? Crazy.
5. I hope the jeggings trend lasts forever-the adult romper trend, however, can leave now.
6. My kids can swim better than I can.
7. I graduated in the top 2% of my high school class, which allowed me to attend ASU on a full academic scholarship…which I used to obtain an art degree-sorry, but being a mathematician just wasn’t for me!
8. I had pink wallpaper in my room forever when I was young and also lived in a pink house, which made me despise pink…until I had 3 girls…now I love it.
9. When I was young, I wanted to be a superhero (or an X-man). Okay, let’s face it, I still do.
10. My husband and my kids mean EVERYTHING to me (you probably knew that one already!) They are the absolute best things I could ever ask for in my life!
Number 3, Number 3…
What is it about the poor third child? They get all the hand-me-downs, rarely get photographed, and when they do, don’t even get their faces wiped. We still love you though, Char-Char…SO SO SO much.
Voicemail Issues!
Apparently my phone service has been having some issues within the last week or so, so if I missed or did not return a call from you, I apologize! I will be returning the voicemails that I did receive. Sorry for the inconvenience!
That’s How You Know
You know someone loves you when they marry you even after all signs (aka the kiosk at Gameworks) point to you having children that look like this:
(circa 2000)
Thankfully, the all knowing Gameworks kiosk was wrong 
One Man Steel Curtain
The man. The myth. The beard.
“You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack… it grew by one. So there… there were two of us in the wolf pack… I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, “Wait a second, could it be?” And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack.”

You Light Up My Life
Brookie just lights up the room-she is a sweet, silly little fireball that we love oh so much.
Beautiful baby:
I love my little cereal girl-these next 2 images are so cute
She is such a good little and big sister
Lipstick explosion
A few from her day today-this is bath #1 (of 3)-she’s my little mermaid
Favorite phrases:
1. “Bum Stripe”
2. “Silly Billy”
3. “I tooted on you”
Happy birthday, sweet girl!
My New Site is (adjective)!
Yes, it is here. The website I’ve been working on for…well…forever. It’s quite hard to get things like this done when you have 3 kids, 2 jobs, and life going on
Hi-I’m Six Months Old!!!
Dan and the girls couldn’t resist hopping up with her.
I can sit up! (for a minute or so)
Things I like:
Sucking my thumb (and anything else I can get my hands on)
Sitting up (kind of)
Rolling (all around the room)
Peas and Carrots
Footed PJs
Scratching my face 
Being absolutely adorable and happy
FACT: Charlotte is my first baby to NOT take a pacifier. This is bad and good at the same time. She is also my first thumb sucker, which is absolutely the cutest thing ever.
