Makin' Waffles

Kids in the kitchen, cooking away... nothing unusual around here.

Val - eggs

Tony - side dishes

Court - waffles

A little note to top it off?

Perfect.

 

 and, of course no meal would be complete at the Taylor house without a movie quote.

Gem Hunt

No, they're not watching a fireworks display on the computer...

they are looking up gems.

It's love at first sight.

Taco Supreme

Tonight dinner meant digging, scrapping and being creative.

 SCORE!

I found some taco meat in the freezer...

fresh fruit & veggies in the fridge...

AND pickles...

what more does a healthy diet need?

And just to prove how versatile he can be, while I was warming up the taco meat, Mr. T made do with what he had...

i love this boy.

Laughing in my Sleep

I think I've said it before...

I love sleeping babies. 

Mr T never fails to give me a 10:30 

(okay, in my dreams... more like 11:30) 

giggle as I check on him before I go to bed each night.

Sweet Dreams Nerdo

Do You Feel Lucky?

I think this boy deserves a
{green clover}
or maybe an
{orange star}
for pouring his own bowl o' the Charms.
They're magically delicious
you know.

Lovin' Every Minute Of It

it all started with
THIS

then the floodgates were open

Love is in the air...

so cute when your 2-year-old falls in Love for the first time
(probably won't be so cute when he's 14...)

pitter pat - pitter pat

Yep, just as I suspected.
LoverBoy

Drip. Drop.

This was the scene as we left the house this morning to walk Courtney to school.
Drip. Drop.
Pure heart-pounding excitement.

And we get to use the Umbrellas.

Oh Baby!

Drip. Drop.

A Sweet Moment in the Rain.

Alas, our drip. drop. joy quickly turned into teardrop drama upon returning home.

I Can Tell That You Are Going To Be Friends

Today was a day off school.
Happy Martin Luther King Day.
So of course all kinds of shenanigans took place.

Jon & his posse hit the A&W for some grub and then home for Smallville, Rock Band and MORE grub.

McKay & his posse headed over to "Cassie's" with a quick stop at the dollar store afterward (arriving home covered in GLITTER... Macey?!)

Mike working. Man you'd think his boss would give him a day off once in awhile.

AND the Ninos... well, I can't really put it into words, but I did catch it on video.

Mr. Capn' Crunch,
meet Ms. Christmas Crunch & Ms. Mini Wheats.
I can tell that you are going to be friends.

Beckie Had a Little Lamb

If you ask me, I think everyone needs a little "Lambie" in their life.
My "Lambie" or LambChop (as we so affectionately call it) is always on the couch, waiting to comfort, warm & lull to sleep.
And really, is there anything better than a Loved One and a "Lambie" all snuggled up into one big happy family burrito?

Thank you "Lambie" for the JOY you bring.
