what do you get...

...when you try to take a cute picture of Zoey with 4 of her cousins?

This, times 35.

We miss you, boys.

kids say the darnest things...

My nephew, Jeffrey, to me: Hey! You're in my way!
Me: Um, can you say that in a nicer way?
Jeffrey: Hey! You're in my way, please!

easter poses...

We hope you had as much fun with your eggs as we did with ours (and that you had warmer weather than we did)!

the gift of tongues...

(No, she is not really so impolite as to stick her tongue out at you.)

Zoey loves these little teething biscuits and I love Zoey, so I want her to have them. But, it has to be in the bathtub while she's nekkid. Judge me all you want - they are messy!

Is there anything you don't do or let your kids do because of the mess, or am I alone in this?

baby boys...

Baby boy #4 for Lara; grand baby #13 for the Mouritsens:

Welcome, Wyatt Clark Hedlund!

lip gloss, please...

Okay, ladies, I am in need of a good lip gloss. Preferably, one that makes my lips look like this:

I know, I know. I'll need a lot more than lip gloss to make my lips look like that.

I am tired of lip gloss that leaks or doesn't have the proper amount of shimmer or doesn't stay on long. I am willing to put out pay the money for a good, non-leaky, good-shimmery, long-lasting lip gloss.

Suggestions, please.
