CHOMP, granray/rayray has a birthday & other random items

Ooh, I did this post fast and I apologize in advance for my lack of witty Jen-isms. I am pooped and it's time for the kid's last feeding of the night. Soooo, forgive me - my next post will dazzle you. If you want to be entertained with rapier-like wit you can check out Megan's blog - it's good like that.

Beth held a party for JP and Tabby a few weeks ago, let the celebrating continue - whee! I tried to be good and take lots of photos but it didn't really pan out that way. I have a few...this first one CRACKS me up.

ahhhhhh....CHOMP
(btw, this is lila, carrie, moi and beth. and matt.)

Here are the other ones I have, I wish I had taken more!

seth REALLY dressed up for the occasion,
the clothes do make the man as they say

GranRay/RayRay celebrated a birthday on Monday but most of the family got together at the club on Sunday (a BIG thanks to Kathy for setting it up!) - we had a very nice time and it was great having everyone together.

Matt's family stopped by later on Sunday to see the kiddos, due to numerous illnesses across the group it had been a while...

The Smiths also came over that afternoon, Megan spotted Matt's high school letterman jacket hanging in the garage.

megan is too cool for school

And speaking of Megan - Mary Ann stopped by earlier this week to see Rowdy - how adorable are they I ask???

mary ann is the greatest

This past weekend we had a baby shower for Shonnie Bear - it was great! I cannot believe that baby G will be here very soon. Blessings! I tried to take a lot of photos but I was busy! I need to be better with the camera, I have been slacking. I admit it. Will be better.

parainfluenza III & we partied like it was 1999

This week has been pretty terrible, Lottie Sue had a virus that landed her in the hospital for five days. FIVE DAYS! It's a long long long story, but we are so happy that she is on the mend. We came home yesterday but she is still a mess, she does not feel well at all. We are trying our best to keep her comfortable and entertained but it is hard as nothing is fun for her when she feels like poo.

I was so good last weekend, I completed four posts and I was going to post them every other day but that just didn't happen. So be sure to check the blog this week as we'll have new posts up several times. OK, here's our post from NYE...

Jonathan had a NYE party and it was so much fun! He and his lovely Tabby are wonderful hosts. Here's the invite, I say JP never looked better.

looking good

We shipped Lottie Sue off to Gramma and Papaw's, so we only have one of her and here it is.

We spent New Year's Day playing Rock Band 2 and Mortal Kombat with the Smiths, Gilmores and the Masons. We spent the day in our pajamas. It was awesome. More to come later!
