By the way...

...have I mentioned that Alton's potty-trained?? Finally???!!!

It started just before Christmas. The first couple of weeks he had one accident per day. But, the last couple of weeks have been totally smooth sailing. In fact, Barry's grandma even gave Alton a "Potty Party" with pizza and brownies and all. It was great fun. We're so proud of him!

Evelyn's First Pigtails (if you can call them that)

This kid is way too cute! Notice the drool going down each side of her mouth. She's been cutting some molars. Working hard, drooling hard.

These babies took a lot of work. Evy doesn't like to sit still (I know, what kid does?). I had to sort of wrestle her in between my knees. Boy is she strong!

See that little hairbrush? Well, after all my hard work, she took one swipe through her hair with it and out came her little hairbands. At least she let me get some pictures first! =)

My Husband ROCKS!!!

This is what he does with our kids when I go out of town (click on the links to his blog below)! He's awesome! =)

This and this.

This is Hilarious!

I just found a new food blog (Wives With Knives). One of the posts I just read really made me laugh (it's only a few lines long). If you feel like it, take a second to check it out!

Not-So-Great Cake in a Minute

Have any of you received an email with the recipe for "cake in a minute"? Well, today I was craving just a few bites of cake (we didn't have anything of the sort). I remembered that recipe that I got in an email a while ago and decided to give it a whirl.

I wish I hadn't.

It was gross...tasted sort of watery (even with frosting on it). Which is silly considering how much sugar and oil it has in it. I threw it away. Alton wouldn't even eat it.

Anyway, my point in posting this is to say...don't waste your time, okay?! =)

Random Sampler...Again

Alton was posing as a dinosaur, I think. But, he looks more like a monkey (which is appropriate for him)! He loves to look in the mirror and make faces. So cute.



Snuggle time (you know, the kind that lasts for about 20 seconds, but you savor every moment)!

This was his "costume" or something.

My cute little angel (with a temper). =)

This one cracks me up!

Alton with his new Santa toy (out of his goodie bag from nursery). Can you tell he liked it a little bit?? He had just discovered that Santa sang when you squeezed his belly.

Great friends.

He was about to give me a kiss.

I LOVE this kid!

This is the real reason Barry goes to the gym every day.
