gwendi girl

Last night, I was finishing up dinner and Todd was setting the table. Gwen was kneeling on our bench at the dining room table. Life was normal... and quiet. All of sudden Gwen passed gas, and it was really loud for such a sweet little bottom. Todd and I chuckle at eachother, not making a big deal. Then Gwen turns around and looks at us and says, "Your welcome!"

Umm....Thanks???

give me your green

I'm costume mistress for Independence Highschool's Wizard of Oz!!! Do you have green fabric you are done with? Do you have green clothes you are getting rid of? Do you have green costumes you want to loan out??? or give away????

It's hard to do emerald city on a budget, so I thought I might see if I had any other resources.

Thanks!

uh... uh... happy birthday (you know- gus gus, from cinderella? get it?)

We had a surprise birthday party for Stephanie. It was a lot of fun. I'm not sure what was going on in the first picture?? (dandi is sooo weird!)

Angels in all shapes and sizes.

This picture is from a couple of years ago for christmas. It has nothing to do with this post....

Today I said to Heidi, "You are my special, special, little angel."

She says so sweetly back, "You are my big, big, big, big angel."

Thanks, Heidi!!!!

so here is what's really funny

She's OBSESSED with the movie Dumbo. She calls it Elephant. Every time she says elephant it sounds like "OH $#!&". I'm not sure how descriptive I should be, but it is SOOOOOO FUNNY! When she wants to watch Dumbo, she walks around saying "OH bleep" "OH bleep"

PLEASE TAKE A LOOK!

Please Go.
so moving. so inspiring.

my dad's teachin' me!

Heidi's prayer quotes from this week:

"Thank you that we don't even see bats, and that we don't even see dinosaurs"

"Thank you that I don't fight very much and if I do I'm just kidding"

"Thank you that we can bless our daddy's birthday"

"Please help Gwen to not pull hair"

General expression of hers (whenever I ask her to "come here" or "help out" or "pray", etc.):

Mom that just makes me too busy. (even though she is lying on the floor doing NOTHING)

a little bit of our christmas

christmas morning... lil' santa and her helper

new sleeping bags from gram and papa
