"The Reader...I didn't see The Reader"

What a fun night at the movies(awards). I love shows and boy does Hugh Jackman give a good one. My favorite is his performance of "The Reader...I didn't see The Reader." It's minute 6 of this is you want to fast forward, but I recommend the entire thing.

On a side note: CC just handed me a sandwich and told me she made me a sandwich "Special for you." So I'm trying to figure out what the white stuff between the two pieces of bread is, it doesn't smell like miracle whip or mayo, hmm...it actually smells good. So, I lick it and start laughing my head off. She's made me a sandwich out of two pieces of bread and lotion, Bath and Bodywork Vanilla Brown Sugar to be exact. My tongue's a little numb from licking it and I think that's funny, oh but it gets better. Ava walks in with her "sandwich" half eaten and lotion all over her face. Lovely.

My alter ego "DJ SnakPak"

I'm such a nerd.
I was asked to DJ our ward family dance next weekend and have been putting together a playlist of kid friendly tunes. The activities committee asked me to announce the songs and offer to make requests and other dj-esque things. So here's my nerdy train of thought...."If I'm going to be DJing a dance, I need a sweet alter ego."
So I'm going with ..(drumroll).. DJ SnakPak!
Kid friendly and a little edgy, too.
I know, I'm such a nerd.

When I'm not looking....

This is going to be an ongoing theme, like the "Favorites Friday's". I will title this one simply "When I'm not looking" and they should all be self explanatory.

This was the most recent one...




....that was 5 pounds of tangerines to be exact.

Lovely Day

We had a lovely afternoon at the park with our friends K and E. Here's some shots of the day.

Kennedy's Baptism or Holy Cats I'm getting old!

My baby was baptized last week. She looked beautiful and I'm very proud of her. We had a lot of family and friends come to support her and we had a lovely lunch afterwards. Here's some of the crowd.
(As a game, try and count how many people are taking a bite.)

New do's

In an effort to save money, I've cut Ava and Bree's hair. The amount I'll save each month on hair detangler should help double their college funds. I might also have a happier home in the mornings. The phrase weeping, wailing, and gnashing their teeth is familiar in our home when it's time to brush their hair. It was painful to cut it off (emotionally for me, not that I nicked them or anything), I did it myself also to save money, but it looks cute. So here are the new, almost 3 twinkies.....(drumroll please)


I also got a trim and some bangs from the most entertaining of stylist, Shannon. If anyone's looking for a great stylist, he's my favorite.
