the kids, my birthday week & photo booth

first of all...

happy birthday to tri-cera-tops! whee! we love you and miss you terribly!!!

ok, now back to the blog. here i am with rowdy, he was home from work on his lunch break.

our little business man

i'm going to start this post off with photos of the kids. i think that's what everyone likes best anyway. can't say i blame ya!

it's our little row mow, chilling on his blanket. smiling. it's his favorite.

hi mommy

and here are a few from last week. lottie sue doesn't have school on tuesdays so we have our own fun and we call it "pajama tuesday" - you must keep pjs on through the morning and we get to watch a movie together. it's a lot of fun and is now a tradition in the house.

pajama tuesday RULES!

lottie sue placing toys on the ottoman, she
told me she needed to look at them there

i usually do a fair amount of cleaning on tuesday mornings and sometimes lottie wants me to dust her. if she sees the duster she goes bonkers, whatever floats your boat i say.

the excitement upon learning she is about to get dusted

oh how a good dusting tickles

hilarious, do it again

here we have lottie on her "maptop." she told me she was checking her email.

i told her the report was due by 5

random photo of lottie sue running around with a hat on
(plus she has house boots, aka house shoes)

and now we have a few close-ups of rowdy. he is SUCH a cutie pie. he is happy happy happy. he smiles all the live-long day and has started giggling for us. something that matt and i find just wonderful.

he is growing like a weed, he is four-months old as of yesterday. gulp. sniff sniff. his hair has grown and he still has his signature curly q - his hair is looking blonde/strawberry blonde but we'll see what happens. his eyes are blue and have gotten quite light. he likes to eat (then spit up) and the boy can sleep lemmetellya. he loves to stand up (with help of course) and he loves to try to sit up, he's really working his abs. i guess summer IS right around the corner...

see? told ya he was cute

here are a few photos of lottie sue playing. she is really into her figurine people, anything to do with her dollhouse. she has also been taking photos of course and i have a few for you in a moment.

lottie dancing like a "balrina"

she wanted to lay down and have me take a
photo of her where rowdy was laying

rowdy and i read about avatar
(matt and i went to see this on my birthday and i had
to leave because of motion sicknes, what a wuss)

jo has a big heart, ain't nobody gonna deny that. when matt is out of town she often cooks dinner for me and the kiddos. she had me over the thursday before my birthday and had a cake and everything for me! THANKS JO! you rock! tabby and amy also came, it was way fun!

lottie sue is helping me blow out the candles

amy took this with her phone of lottie "boe-ing" the candles out
(lottie sue LOVES to blow out birthday
candles, one of her favorite things to do)

love the cake - it was delicious!

a photo of the superb amy h. totally out of focus

and yes another out of focus shot, the adorable tabby p.

then on that saturday we had a nice dinner in with the smiths. i want to thank them again for my awesome gift - i love my colts t-shirt! upon thanking them megan deferred and told me to thank tommy - he thought of it, bought it and wrapped it. so thanks TOMMY.

you know i be wearing this during the supa bowl

megan spotted the bag jo gave me for my birthday, it is too cute and i love it. i had to check her bag before she left because she loved it, too.

we are adorable. yes yes yes

our computer has a program on it called photo booth, you just take snapshots from the computer but it has a lot of effects you can play with. you can distort your face many different ways or take photos of you in paris or on a rollercoaster. it's a lot of fun. we got going with it one night with the smiths, and matt and i have been hooked ever sense. some of the photos are disturbing but hilarious at the same time. it's amazing how different you can make yourself look. matt and i could do this for hours and i am not kidding. it's great entertainment.

i'm posting a few for you, but we about a million funny ones. matt and tommy sell it more than anyone else and get the best ones. this first one of tommy cracks me up. matt and i look at it sometimes just laugh. matt has several golden shots following tommy...enjoy.

for real, disturbing and hilarious - yes?

here are the photos from lottie sue's camera.

talking to him saying "i love you, man") with sleeping
