Never A Spare Moment... She's 4 going on 14... He's 18 months and just as moody.

Some randoms from around the house. As you can see, we converted Jackson's crib into a big boy bed. Unfortunately, this means that when he wakes up at 5:30, he gets up and walks into our room instead of babbling in his crib for 45 minutes.

Dance Class with Riley

2009-09-20T07:54:00.002-05:00

Riley has started dance classes. she usually is shy for the first few minutes, and then joins in. As you can see, Jack likes to dance like his big sister.

OK, once again, since I can't figure out why Photobucket puts photos in reverse order, these are the pics from Grandma B's visit. they include a trip to SantiCaliGone Days and a trip to the mall. There are also some closeups of us that Riley took.

Ren Fest Photos

Once again, we journeyed to Ren Fest with a bunch of people from the TV stations. You see, TV station people get in free with their ID badge or business card. Unfortunately, during my dismissal, I threw my box of cards away. Fortunately, I still have about 10 of them. So, I guess we're getting into Ren Fest for free for the next few years.

BTW, some of these thumbnails are sideways, but they should be upright when you view them.

Ren Fest! Huzzah!

Ok, this one stings a little

We shot this one the morning of the first Husker Game of the season. Yesterday was Nebraska's unexpected loss to Virginia Tech. Oh well, at least he's being raised a Husker.

Photos from two nights in Lee's Summit

2009-08-11T19:55:00.002-05:00

OK, so these are actually in backwards order. the stuff with Choo Choo Soul (Riley in the Pink/White) are from Saturday. Blues and Jazz fest was the previous night in downtown LS.

we were lucky enough to rock out and dance with the Nolan boys both nights. I think Riley may have a boyfriend in Connor.

Choo Choo Soul is a musical/R&B act that sings songs on Disney Channel. Jackson just sits and stares at the tv when it's on. As you can see, we were able to meet "DC" after the show, and Riley and Jackson both got high fives at one point.

Regarding the bunches of crazy faces near the end of this post? the kids started making funny faces, and it got contagious. Mom and Dad got into the act too. enjoy!

4th of July at the K

2009-07-05T21:56:00.002-05:00

So what's a more American way to celebrate the 4th of July than a baseball game?
Actually, Riley and I had gone on Monday night. Turns out both times Luke Hochevar pitched, the Royals trailed early, rallied, took the lead and Soria got the save! BOTH GAMES. We're good luck.

Halter top day at the K!

Jack was tired, can you tell?

Maybe he was tired from drinking my beer.

Such a Chocolatey mess.

Jack is a poser, like his big sister.
