My Two Monkies

They were playing chase with grandma. And, just for the record, when Ebban tells grandma to jump, she says, “how high?

Happy Birthday Daddy!

Craig’s dad came to visit for his birthday party this past weekend. I’m not sure who enjoyed this snuggle time more.

On Saturday we had a Cars party for Craig’s birthday (I let the kids pick out themes for birthdays, two years ago Ella chose Spiderman). Mr. loves balloons.

The decorations this year were slightly different than last year.

Look, it’s the Piston Cup! (Remember that part in the movie when McQueen tells everyone that Doc is a famous race car and won three Piston Cups? Mater replies, “He did what in his cup?” Hysterical!!).

My friend Tammy made the Cars cake, isn’t it wonderful? Check out her website: Faithfully Cakes.

Ella enjoyed dressing up like a cowgirl for Grandpa Ed.

Kids and daddy had fun opening presents.

Ed’s friend Dixie came along for the visit from Dallas, they couldn’t believe all the snow!

I cannot even begin to describe how difficult it was to get these Texans to look at the camera and smile nicely. In fact, what I should do is post all of the unflattering, awful faces they made in an effort to convince them not to do it again. But alas, I am too kind. Although, they had better not mess with me next time or the gloves are coming off!

Great job on the pics Heather. Dad looks good and I heard the visit was good. Ella and Evan are growing fast. Uncle brian loves all of you, stay focused in the word, God Bless…

Grandma’s Surprise Birthday Party!


Let me know what you guys think of this new gallery. Is it better to use lightbox or to post each image separately? I’m undecided, so please leave a comment and let me know which your prefer.

The only problem is that I’m unable to comment on each individual photo (I’ve tried title, alt, caption, description via html). Not that everyone appreciates my commentary, but there are some photos that just need to be talked about.

This one for instance:

This was the first time we had a party at the nursing home, and in an effort to always keep it classy, we brought wine. In a paper bag. With plastic cups.

The pictures are fabulous! Love them!! I think I like the individual photos and commentary a little better, but this is very nice also. I love the new look!

Def the single photos with the commentary! Give yourself some credit on the writing skills. ;) But it’s also easier to scroll down the screen than to click “next” and wait for each one to load.

Wonderful pictures. But, I agree with the previous posts – I prefer the single pictures.

Great way to keep it classy!!! :) Also I do like the new way you set up the pics!

Help Me Rhonda

Someone please stop me from eating this wittle boy. I told him the other day that I was going to eat him and he asked, “for breakfast??”
