Things that make you go hmmm

Someone's mom was too tired to fight this battle today.

Friday, Friday!

(I know, I hate that song, too.)

Even the unemployed can appreciate a good Friday. 

Especially one that is filled with best friend-matching fingernails,

 matching toenails,

and a Barbie smile.

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I couldn't have said it better myself, Landon.

A House Full of Estrogen

I had a lot of fun growing up in my family. But my poor brother and dad has to deal with four women chock-full of estrogen. But aren't we cute? At least we have some redeeming qualities.

How did I forget to mention this?

What a Difference 10 Months Makes

I really don't like having my picture taken. I especially dislike having pictures taken of JUST me. I'm just not photogenic, I never have been. I promise, I'm much cuter in person. But, now that 10 months have passed since I had a couple of bridal shots taken, I can actually look at them. Really. So, for those of you that have requested (and for those of you who couldn't care less), here are some of my 10 month-old bridal shots.

Yes, the flowers are fake. And, yes, I was not aware a picture was being taken as I was laughing and brushing my bangs out of my face with my bouquet.

My Funny Family

I was just thinking about my family and I laughed. They are so great—all of them. BUT, I especially love the wee ones. Here's a look back on some of my favorite moments.

We've had fun with Photobooth over the years...

And sometimes we even had funny face contests...

... which are easily won when you can look like a Muppet. 

(No, that is most definitely NOT me, by the way.)

The elusive mother figure even appeared in a photo with sweet Mollykins.

Visit from everyone's favorite sister. 

(No, not me... the out-of-towner who spoils everyone)

The sweet and terrible two year-old figured out how to split the screen.

NORM made a cameo.

Sweet Miss A was once a little baby.

The big boys thought I was cool at one point...

which I will remind them of as they grow older.

This guy doesn't complain about having to look at himself.

Sometimes it's rough being from our gene pool and being this good looking.

And we've also had fun without Photobooth:

Miss A turned 3 and was adorned with all the appropriate princess gear.

Husby and I went camping... in our front room... in my Fisher-Price tent.

And made s'mores via the candle.

My brother-in-law has never been more proud of anything he's made.

Brighton was a big "help" making dinner.

Sometimes we wear funny hats.

You can never be too prepared.

And sometimes we pose while wearing them.

And other times we dance in public places when we hear fun music.

Some of us don't mind admiring ourselves in the mirror.

She will make a beautiful, blushing bride someday. Hopefully not very soon.

And that's my family... well, some of them.

Photos chosen by degree of smile they put on my face. 

Love my family.
