Who said I wouldn't post an ugly pic of myself!!speaking of ugly, when we lived at Pearl ST, Cap & I went through a faze where we tried to take the worst pics of eachother at the worst times.(remember the bathroom?)I found some of those pics! don't worry Cappy I'll keep those to myself.
34 years old.I am so glad I still have you!Here's to the last 23 years with you as my BFF!Lova ya!

Family fun!

Well, we had another snow day, I think this is a record, we have had crazy weather this year.Dylan had a great idea to make an igloo and Kari wanted to get out of work, so we all went to work on making one, Dylan was the designer, he told us how to construct it. Kari, Iz, and I piled the snow high.Kari & Dyl did most of the work they were the last 2 out there, Dyl hollowed it out while Kari smoothed the top perfectly, she finished it off by painting the blocks with blue food coloring which took her quite awhile,(she wasn't ready to go back to work). The igloo came out pretty good, Iz & Dyl both could fit in(barely), although kari did put her top half in. Suni & Maddy made the gigantic snow man.

Clam digging!

On New Years Eve my dad took a bunch of us clam digging, it was Stone's first time, he was a little concerned with the first clam he reached in and grabbed but he ended up having a lot of fun as did the rest of us. we went last year too, so Dylan was an old pro and really helped out his dad ,he spent alot of his time "playing" with the clams.
Kari & Suni took the kids out in the ocean after they already got wet, and I didn't care because I packed the entire family nice, warm, and I will emphasize DRY clothes and towels.when we got the kids stripped down to nothing I looked for those dry clothes only to realize that my lovely husband forget the bag in our living room. let's just say the drive home wasn't that fun with all the kids just about naked fighting over the blankets.All in all we had a fun day though.

a little late

Here you go Nicci I finally recovered my password so I could post a new one. Here is Izzy & Dylan in their new pj's on Christmas Eve.
Here is Isabelle with her new vanity. It goes very well with all of her new make-up, she likes to put blue eye shadow on and lots of sparkles.




Dylan got a new go cart for Christmas, Shawn built a track at my dads, here he is after a wet ride, and Ryan too.

Here is Isabelle with a face full of make-up striking a pose, she gets all made up and has me take pics of her, it reminds me of Cappy at Pearl St!remember Cap?
