butterflies, boating, and the girliest little boy cake ever...

We got Kennedy a butterfly pavilion for Christmas and she sent away for the caterpillars. She has been taking care of them and they just hatched from their crysalis. Here's the finished product.

We took the kids on a canoe ride in gramma and grandpa Vial's backyard, and I'll I can say is that CC had fun. You can't see it so well in the pictures, but there was a lot of weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth goin' on in that little boat.







This is my nephew Victor, who's 6.


This is everyone celebrating Victor's birthday.


And this is his very girlie cake. Tasted good.

The girls and I wake up to Sesame Street and are rewarding with witty ditties like these.

I wish you could see the full version of the Jimmy Fallon episode.

Awesome.

I've previously posted my fav with Feist on it, but Mr. Ricky's "Celebrity Lullabye" is a close second.

Good Morning to You!

p.s. "Mr. Ricky's done enough."

A few months ago we did a photo shoot with my brother in law, Tucker, and I never got around to posting the shots. The pictures should speak for themselves on how awesome a photographer he is, but let me just plug a little for him here. He is so good with kids. My girls are a bunch of crazy monsters, especially when all together, but Tucker handled them magically. They were entertained, and felt so special when it was their turn to sit by themselves. He has started his own biz, so if you are in the market for an amazing photograph of you and the kids, leave me a comment and I'll connect you.

The Vial family farm house is being remodeled. It seems that anywhere I go, someone either knows my inlaws, or has been to the farm house. (Yesterday at the girls' dance class someone asked if I was related to Bishop Vial, her parents are Reynolds, I think.)

Here's some shots of the work and destruction. The first is my favorite, the outside is now inside.

Used my sb 400 flash for this.

Me : Did one of you fart, it smells funny?

K : NOOOOO!!!!!

CC : No, but I did at school....but nobody smelled it.
