Too darn c-u-t-e!

I know I am a little partial, but have you ever seen anything as cute as these pictures?

I found these adorable jimmer jammers at none other than Targe' Botique (aka - Target)! Aren't they just the cutest???

In the picture above, Little Miss is very animatedly hugging the snot out of her bag of new summer clothes from her Grandma! This over-zealous reaction is most likely early signs of a shopping addiction. She doesn't have much of a chance having me as her mother!! Oh, and I just love the next one too...

Tootie decided she wanted to wear real underwear the other day. Granted it only lasted about an hour and there was an accident (luckily a firm one!) but it is progress none-the-less! I do have one question...Why oh why do they make those crazy plastic over-pants so darn big?! I mean come'on, I think my 16 year old niece could wear those as swimsuit bottoms!

Our little Champer Champers was outside helping me clean our grill the other night (DON'T ASK...all I am going to say is MAKE SURE you watch your pork chops if they look a little fatty! Yikes!) Anyhoo...he must have inadvertently wiped some soot on his face and nose and it became irresistibly photogenic!

He kinda looks like a little Popeye in this one!

Destine to be a great mechanic, just like his Daddy!

And just in case you wondered...Audrey is just as good at making a mess of herself. This was the aftermath of Easter sugar rush! That chocolate bunny never had a chance!!!!

Who woulda thunk!?!

I'm sure you're all well aware that my lovely little boy had a Birthday in March..."15, March" that is (as Grant would say!) Wellllllll...do you see those balloons in the background of this picture??? I know, it's kinda hard to see, but it was a mixture of 2 mylar balloons and 6 latex balloons. All blown up and purchased on that very same day...15, March.

It has always been my experience that you usually can not count on latex balloons filled with helium to last more than a day or two so that is why I always buy then the day of. Well, I am known for not liking to be proved wrong, but that is exactly what I have been! This picture was taken on 3/27 - 12 days after they were inflated!

Oh, hold your britches! It gets better...the picture below was taken on 4/1. No we're at 17 days and counting!

By 4/5 we were sick of them "hanging out" on the kitchen/dining room area so they were relocated to the kids' bedroom. Notice, Mr. Happy Birthday Star is sinkin' pretty low but Sporty and Pinky are hangin' in there!

By 4/9 it's down to Sporty vs. Pinky. And the entire time I am thinking, 'How on Earth can a latex balloon even compete with a mylar???' And you are probably wondering if I have finally flipped my lid!

And then I awoke to this on 4/10 (am). Looks like Sporty is holding his ground...

But then when we got home I rushed to the bedroom to check how my new little "friends" were doing before the scene became disrupted by the two little tornadoes we call our children. To my utter surprise, Sporty started losing some steam by the afternoon of 4/10. And now the race is ON!

In steps Mr. Destructive. On 4/11 I walked out to the porch only to witness this:

And on 4/11 the WINNER is...(insert drumroll here)...Pinky! (technically by default, but it is a win all the same :) Still can't believe that stinkin' balloon lasted 27 stinkin' days!

Who woulda thunk?!?

I ♥ Faces Week 14 - "Easter/Spring" Amateurs Category

Ahhhh...Spring Time! The season of a new beginning. The season of love. The season to remember that Jesus Christ sacraficed his life and died on the cross so that you and I can be forgiven for our sins. Which brings us to Easter. This Easter I simply choose to be thankful for having a healthy family.
This weeks I ♥ Faces theme is Easter/Spring. Even if I tried, I couldn't stage a picture that better fits both aspects of the theme than the one below:

Audrey was simply watching her Grandma Sue do the dishes after our wonderful Easter meal and I happened to snap this picture.
Oh, and did I mention that this week over at: http://www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com/ they are acutally having an "amateurs" category. Yeah! I simply can not compete with all of the extremely talented professionals that enter each week but I sure do have fun trying! Go check out all of the other beautiful Easter/Spring entries at:
