Gage's #2 Birthday

Gage pretty much got spoiled rotten for his birthday. His "World's Best" Mom spent all day making him this giant motorcycle brownie. He got a Spiderman scooter, clothes and shoes like crazy, and 3 motorcycles, which easily made up for the lost Green Mo-Cycle.














We had a Potty Party, adapting the potty training in a day technique. Every time he went, he got to open a present. His little bottom looks so cute in big boy undies!


I was thumbing through the Reader’s Digest and came across a picture showing the mayor of Las Vegas next to a show girl. Olivia said, “Who is she?” A showgirl, I told her. “What is she wearing? Why is she showing everyone that ugly dress? She’s almost naked! She looks ugly!”

Family, Incomplete


We are sadly mourning the loss of a precious family member, Green Mo-cycle. If you or someone you know has seen Green Mo-cycle, please call our hotline at 1-800-stop-asking-me-where-the-motorcycle-is-because-I-don't-know, extension 3.


Late at night, in the dark, I heard a haunting squeak, squeak, squeak. Surely it must be an apparition from beyond. Flashlight in hand, I I was nearly swallowed by the darkness of the kids room. SQUEAK! YIPERS! Twas no spirit, just the little ones crammed under the Wonder Horse. Every little twitch sent the plastic equine into a fit of screeching springs. Phew, that was a close one.


Gage is ready for action with his Spiderman lunchbox, pretty pink backpack, and tri-stool. You should've seen him try to ride the scooter with all this stuff!


A rare quiet moment at the library.


Yikes! Dyl, you're a handsome man. But dang are you one ugly lady!


Gage makes a slightly less frightening girl.


When Gage goes to sleep, Liv and I put on shows and video record them. This is her getup for the latest production of "Rapunzel", in which she is Rapunzel and I am everyone else.

Breakfast in the Canyon


I can't even think of anything to write. I just look at Dylan and think of how much I'm in love with him and lose my entire tr....


Those rays of sunshine follow our little angel everywhere she goes.


Gage still needs a little help from Momma while practicing his ninja balance techniques, "Karate Kid" style.

Diaper Boy!


Dylan won't carry out flowery diaper bag, so Gage just has to take them around like this.
