Which one of these just doesn't belong?

Mine is the one without the dark floof of hair.Parker doesn't like grass, he usually cries when I put him down on it.

This is how you feed four babies. Quick bites down the line and repeat.

Parker loves playing with other babies!

If all else fails, throw a pile of cheerios on the floor!!! Sorry about the bib baby J! We all know you are a cute little BOY, not girl!

These are my friend's babies, the W triplets. Parker loves playing with his BFFs. I've been watching them a couple times a month and it has worked out really well. Parker has been known to cat-call at his lady friends in sacrament meeting though. We've tried to explain to him that such behavior is unacceptable.

This is what I see...

...when I vacuum.

a little boy (did I just say BOY? I meant my baby, forever and always) who likes to turn everything upside down to check it out

and a Reese cat that I must push out of the way

I am surrounded on all sides.

and I love it.

Peek-a-boo

The Roo sees you!

I just want your kiss boy

his kisses, one of a kind.

you wont find a better baby kisser, truly.

you should see his high-fives.

genius.

brett, well he's a good kisser too, but let's not talk about that.

last week brett was part of the biggest nurses strike in u.s. history.

14 hospitals and thousands of nurses

it was a one-day strike that didn't work, ouch.

monday is a re-vote for an indefinite strike, scary right?

i mean, we see greed on both sides but we have kinda taken a liking to paychecks(aren't they fabulous?)

so since we are the praying type, we're praying for negotiations before a long, drawn out, payless strike.

me?

well i'm in full-on minnesota garage sale mode

they are big here and i've kinda become an expert.

i know the going rate for different brands of baby gear and toys.

you know the guys on antique roadshow (ah, we see here a graco from 2005, these are hard to find), ya that's me.

wednesdays and thursdays are the big days,

that's when you see the experts. so of course i'm there.

but if i see something marked too high, and they ain't coming down?

well, then i march back on saturday when they are desperate and low-ball 'em.

ha, you should have bargained with me on thursday! do you have change for a quarter?

i'm just gonna be sad to see it end.

a few things

hello.

wondering what is going on over here besides posts and pictures about mr. man?

not much. that is why i blog about him.

he is giggles and chubby legs and soft baby hair and well, JOY. sigh, i love him.

what? you demand a picture? o.k.

doesn't he look so grown up? i promise you he is just my little newborn, only a couple months old.

we did manage to somewhat organize the basement. i had a lot of boxes to go through of things my mom kept for me. she gets the "I'm a great mom" blue ribbon for everything she kept for me. phew, there was A LOT. many lovelies that were fond and beautiful. but really, what will I do with it?

and if I had a million dollars, i could organize the basement just how I wanted it. and then i would spend the extra moola on cool office supplies. i love office supplies. pens, notebooks, pads of paper, they are so rad.

when i was little, i had a cardboard box with drawers that was suppossed to be a secretary desk, i guess. it was filled with envelopes and "while you were out" pads. i loved it. (my parents need a blue ribbon for that gift too)

here's something else we've been doing,

walks with the double strollers.

they both enjoy it so. you should see the roo's face on the park swing. i need to get a picture of that.

brett refuses to push ms. kitten britches. a cat stroller is kinda embarrassing. but i love that she loves it. even if she is a naughty kitten.

there, a real update. how do you like that?

Cheesy Face

Parker makes these cheesy faces whenever he sees the camera. I never thought he would learn to do this so young. Oh well, he's cute no matter what face he makes.

Lions and Tigers and Bears

Day old piglets

This cheetah was walking back and forth right in front on the glass. I love the spots!

This is a bear looking under the water for a fish.

We went to the zoo in the middle of April for baby farm animals month. The weather was perfect and all the animals were out and about! The bears, cheetah and otters were our favorites! Parker seemed to enjoy his first trip to the zoo but really liked being able to touch and lay on the Reese cat at home as well.
