What's New...

Taylor won Reflections again. We are so proud! She has also finished reading all fifteen books she received for her birthday. Twice.

Matthew can sing every song from Glee word for word. He also steals my phone to play video games so chances are he will answer if you call. Due to the fact he will put the phone down and walk away and allow you to listen in on our daily family conversions, I would appreciate it if you would directly hang up. Especially if you hear any yelling, threatening, swearing, or otherwise necessary parental control.

Evey, as any preschooler would, asks for toy after toy each time we go to the store. For the past six months I have encouraged her to "put it on her Christmas list" as to avoid a tantrum so I don't have to buy her crap every time we shop. Miraculously she seems to have remembered every single item on that intangible list and is now in the process of trying to cash in for Christmas. Pick one doesn't seem to be a part of her vocabulary.

Lily says Hi and waves. So cute. She also insists on wearing her silver flats everyday which is also so very cute.

I just received $500 in the mail for some La Victoria salsa contest I forgot about entering months ago. Sweet! I have spent the last forty-eight hours jumping up and down and rubbing it in Dallan's face. Black Friday here I come!

As for Dallan he is daily conversing via e-mail with a scammer from Craigslist. They seem to have developed quite a friendship. (Not.) Perhaps with your appeals you can convince him to let me post their conversations here. :)

TWILIGHT TIME!

New Moon party! Thanks for a fabulous night ladies!

Project

Picture me, arms wide, shouting with much gusto and delight...

We are building a studio!!!

Did you hear me?

A studio.

Oh, how I am loosing sleep with anticipation.

Our third car garage will soon by my very own space to play and take lovely pictures and oh I am so very excited.

You are all invited to the open house. Which will be...

Not sure. I will keep ya posted!

Taylor's Birthday

Sweet Baby Girl

I has someone stop me the other day and say,

Oh, your baby is pouting, that's so cute!

And my response, Yeah, that's just her face.

And it is so very true!

95% of the day this is the face I look at. I don't know what future orthadonic crisis this face is foreshadowing, but oh, how I love it now!

See more pictures here.

What we've been up to...

Busy around here.

I am workin' on something super fun and big and overwhelming and so cool but don't even have time to tel ya about it. Perhaps tomorrow? Here's what the kiddos have been up to this week:

Taylor: Piano, piano, piano.

Matthew: Stealing my phone to play Toki Tori. Not a problem unless someone tries calling me on my phone.

If he happens to answer when you call please tell him firmly to get his mother. Otherwise you will have to opportunity to listen in to our daily lives via speaker phone for several hours before we discover he answered your call. Not good.

Evey: Flu, cough, cold, a.k.a. super duper crankiness.

Lily: She has finally figured out how to come down the stairs, and the removal of all stair gates in our home has equaled divine freedom. She often disappears to be found in an upstairs bathroom unraveling toilet paper or sucking on multiple toothbrushes.

That's it for now!

Happy Birthday Taylor!

Eleven years old today!

Evey

Don't take my picture

Okay now you can take my picture.

Wait...that headband... nope, don't take my picture.

A few shots of Evey here.

Let it Snow

Did you enjoyed the first snow last week as much as we did?
