Yesterday Mike took Soph and I to Horseman's Park, bc it was the last day of the races here in Omaha. Despite the heat – and a nasty burn – we had a lot of fun. Here's Mike, explaining to Sophie how the racing and betting program works… (Instead of a new hat for the event, Sophie bought some new…

Cereal Killer
This morning I found evidence that Breanna had been in the kitchen after I'd gone to bed last night: Exhibit A: Dried Kashi cereal in a bowl. The other girls refuse to eat Kashi cereal. Exhibit B: Ladle. When all of the regular spoons in the drawer are used, Breanna has been known to resort to larger utensils, rather…

Finishes, Freaks, and a Freebie
It occured to me yesterday after I posted this photo… …that one of the sisters looks a little like this: I loved Beaker when I was growing up. And then there's this character, who reminds me of pretty much any Muppet. He got a little bummed that Breanna's muscles are almost as big as his are… I think…

Black and White
It's amazing how siblings turn out being so different from each other… if one is outgoing, another will be reserved; if one is the troublemaker, another will be the peace keeper. If one is a muscular, intimidating gym rat, another will be a slender, meek, timid mouse. If one is Breanna, another is Sabrina. And vice-versa.

The Winners!
Yes, you read that right – winners! As in three! I recalled that when I did my giveaway last year, I chose 3 people to win… the first number chosen won 5 charts, the second won 3, and the third won 1… I had my 3 girls choose 3 random numbers, and that's how the winners were selected. Thank you…

Thtwaw-behweeth.
My Sabrina will be a senior this coming fall, and I still can't get over it. She was always the little girl with the huge blue eyes and the wispy, strawberry hair that wouldn't stay in place… she was the buck-toothed toddler bc of her love of thumb-sucking, the too-tall middle-schooler who had a -2 sized waist (and could never…

Happy 2 Years!
I began my blogging adventure back in 2004, and this many years later I'm still having an awful lot of fun with it. It's amazing to me that so many of you will take time out of your day to visit and see what's up in this crazy family of mine, or perhaps check to see if – by some…

Sugar or Bust
Recently Mike took Sophie to Kansas City for a fun dad-and-daughter trip. This was supposed to be all about an amusement park, a water park, and a baseball game, but it ended up being a "Hey Mom, glad you're not here" vacation. I'm generally the wet blanket for Miss Sophie when it comes to junk food. And although her dad…

Senior
Sabrina and I headed out today to scout out some places to take her senior photos. We had a lot of fun and took about 220 practice shots… and it’s a good thing they were just for practice, bc I realized in almost all of them, she was chewing gum! I did manage to find one image that didn’t give…
