I needed this kind of laugh

...sigh...

You know when your mom comes and life seems all glittery and fun then when she leaves it's all rainy and all you can do is take a deep breath and make a fart sound.

That's me today.

Poor baby me.

On a side note....THANKS FOR COMING MOMMA!!

It's a GIRL!!

Announcing the birth of

Alexis Meyerson
7lb 7oz
21 1/2 inches

Eight Years Ago.

Happy Birthday Lex!!
You make life easy!

Dear Cabinet Doors...

Sure I've missed the way these cabinets look without you on, but it makes emptying the dishwasher superhero fast.

Wanna see what I won't miss when we have you on again...

This person-

Doing this-


It's slowly killing me.

Back To School Night...

...and this is what greeted us.

We also learned from reading her journal that-
"Animals are special creatures. I would like to be a cat so I can sleep all day."

This girl has her priorities in order.

Dear Awkward Years....

I'm interested in what you are going to do too my daughter because....



Shoot.

It's comin real fast, Lex.
So hang on.

Show Off

So, I'm sitting on my awesome pink bike at our annual block party just yakin it up with the neighbors and I look up and see a person on a bike with a trailer on it.

I think, "Hey Cyd has that bike.... and a baby that looks just like that."

DUH!

How often can you just hop on your bike to take off to your sister's house?

I think it's awesome to be able to live this close to a sister, so I thought I'd just show off.

Oh, it's also awesome that we look slammin on our bikes and Cyd's helmet with a hundred kids riding all around us.


Long live the cruiser bikes.

Piggies?

Every mom looks forward to this day.

A teenager in 2nd grade

She's off to school and ready to get a job at that.

Cute little punk.
She didn't even turn around to say goodbye when we got to school.

Who needs a mom when you have learnin to do?!

For now I'll just be at home.

I do declare, Virginia is for Lovers

What do people do with a free, long weekend?

Hit Richmond Virginia.
It's all the rage.

Yes, yes-we saw the Confederate White House.

Swam in the James River.
Botanical Gardens with bears and a bald eagle?
Check

But mostly we went down to see this...

Isn't she just the most?!



and don't forget this...
This really did happen.


Then on the way home we went here...
saw these...
Kermit THE Frog
aka The Man.

psst...they are "THE" Ruby Slippers
(but really, it's all sequins.)

We saw the Confederate White House and the actual White House all in one weekend.
Who else can say that?


THEN...we entered Jersey and the crazy started...

Two semi trucks filled with...
Elephants?!
Travis and I practically wet ourselves.
Lexi could take it or leave it.


Jack and Doug we love love love you!
Thanks for showing us an awesome weekend.
