Have you seen the “Face Swap” app for iPhone? It is freaking HILARIOUS. The boys and I laugh and laugh at all the creations we get and they never seem to tire of trying to make the silliest faces. Here is one with Nathan and myself and the other is Anthony and me. I can’t help but compare myself to Quasimodo in the one with Anthony. ...
A new chapter has begun in the lives of my boys….that of “off-roaders.” They have been camping their entire lives. Anthony first went to the desert when he was six months old. But they have always had to be content to wait for their grandpa, uncle or cousins to give them a ride. Twins – 2009 The boys are getting bigger now, and with bigger comes bigger adventure. They want to do things for themselves, go where they want…when they want. They are getting restless waiting around for the big kids to give them rides. It’s all part of growing up. I knew the time would be here soon enough when I was going to have to figure out how to afford THREE quads (motorcycles…bikes…etc etc). Getting Dirty – 2010 Well, lucky for the boys (and ME!), they have a FABULOUS grandpa! He has spent several months, and several dollars, trying to get...
This has been a GREAT WEEK! I turned 40 years old, started a new job and had conquered one of my biggest goals. How was your week? Starting at the top: Gabe visiting the Museum of Making Music (totally cool) Anthony using the ATM for the first time ever (uh oh!) HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME! Some crazy mohawk duck. Love this quote. A rainbow on my last day of work. Everyone say “awwwww” Me on my birthday riding roller coasters!...
Shhhh. It’s Cheryl again. Hijacking Rhea’s blog. (Find birthday #38 and #39) I had such good intentions this year! I wanted to make Rhea’s 40th the first time that we’d meet “in real life”. Funny, I’ve felt as though I’ve known her for years- and I have! Isn’t she cute? She doesn’t look a day over 39! I worked my butt off to try to surprise Rhea for her birthday. But alas, the stars were not aligned this year. Maybe I’ll finally find one of those sugar daddies and surprise her then. Rhea up and left me for the real work world over a year ago and although I’ve gotten used to being all lonely and stuff during the day, something tells me I should take the leap and find my own big girl job. Then maybe I’d be able to afford the trip myself! Hey Rhea, since you have a big girl job now, maybe YOU should come see me!...
Clockwise from top left: Just me again. My attempt at buttermilk baked chicken. Was tasty but not crispy. My Honey cat napping with her friends. Funny t-shirt at the Science Center. Me and my family watching the Super Bowl At-home-marijuana test…at the DOLLAR TREE! LOL They really do have everything. Trader Joe’s version of Mexican beer….Trader Jose’s! That’s my week in a nutshell. How was yours?
I am participating in a new “round robin” type meme with my friends and each month I will write a heartfelt (or not) letter to one of my sons. At the end of my letter, I will link up to the next person who is also participating. If you care to, you are invited to click through and visit all of our letters. Not everyone has a son, so there are daughter letters, too. I chose to participate because I thought it would be a fun way to write a little letter to my kids and hopefully tell them exactly how much I love them. Dear Anthony, It is actually kind of difficult for me to sit down and write this letter to you today because I am annoyed at you. Today, you went on a field trip with your class and even though you tried for weeks to get permission to take your iPod on the field trip, you know that the answer was “no.” Your father and I had said “no”...
Clockwise from the top: Paleo pancakes topped with strawberries Gabe’s first lost teeth (two at a time and he elected to have the dentist pull them!) Fifty Shades of Chicken cookbook. Made me laugh! Quote of the week! Anthony talked me into dying his hair blue Paleo fudge (recipe coming soon!) Dirty rotten coconuts *GAG*
