us...

...we've been busy and this is the easiest way to catch up!

Matt has been saving his "greens" for a sweet ipod touch.

He has been introduced to the beauty that is selling on ebay, selling to friends, and misc jobs.

He is 3/4 of the way there.

Zach is all about being a teen (even though he is technically still a tween).

I'm doing my best to cope...

He is working hard in school and doing his best.

He doesn't have to try very hard at being cute, though...

Sam (aka the unknown) HATES having his picture taken lately.
He has barricaded himself in his room to avoid the camera even as I type.
That could also have something to do with his recent confession of putting hand soap and hand sanitizer in the fish bowl killing the one and only pet he will ever know.
I don't know whether I'm disturbed or grateful.


Lizzie awakes every morning with a horrid case of bed head.
Seriously.
...bed head or Kate Gosselin wannabe?

She also recently broke her tiny pinkie finger.
That's what happens when you put on your most slippery socks and slide on the hardwood floors and run right into the pantry.

I have been busy being a mom, appreciating the teachers (75 cupcakes), and trying to stay on top of it all.

I was informed last Sunday (minutes before speaking in church) that I had a lot of bullets on my shirt.

Guess who said it? That's right...Mr. Unknown.

You decide,

cute wrap top with even cuter pleats and ruffles...

OR...

...ammo belt wearin', Rambo lookin' Molly. (with pearls)

Hmmmm.

This guy, the good looking one on the far right, has been perfecting his role as dad & husband. What more can I say? He's awesome.

WHEW.
