It's us, only uglier.

I have some catching up to do ... but I just had to show you this photo. We took a spur-of-the-moment trip to Little Rock this past week. One night we went to dinner at the Cajun's Wharf. Great place. Right on the river. I handed off the camera to Davis thinking Kyle & I could get a nice photo together.

Wrong-O. Looks like we were hit HARD with the ugly stick.

I couldn't breathe, I was laughing so hard after I saw this. I still get uncontrollable giggles whenever I see it. I almost want to put it in a frame ... just as a joke. :) Is it me or do we look sort of Shrek-ish?

TWO Wheels ...

Saturday July 18, marked the day that the boys learned to ride a 2-wheelers ... aka NO TRAINING WHEELS. We biked in the morning, we biked in the afternoon ... then we celebrated in the evening with some ice cream. :)

Look Who's Sleeping in My Bed ...

Libby has been sneaking off to the boys' room at various points in the night. Brett's on the top bunk ... but Davis's bed is easily accessible.

Lucky Davis. :)

4th of July Weekend ...

{outside of the church where, I believe, their great-grandparents were married}

Here are some belated photos of the Immele Reunion in Pilot Grove & Boonville, Missouri. We had a great time! The kids loved having so many opportunities to play with their cousins! I took a ton of photos ... I might put them up on Snapfish or something. If I do, I'll link up!

Up with the Boys!

Today Libby went to "school", aka PDO [Parents Day Out] ... so I took the boys to see a movie.  We went to see "UP".  We split a large popcorn & a large soda ... $11.50?  Whatever.  :)  We don't get to do stuff like that very often ... Libby's never been in a movie theater.  [if you see the post below with her sassy shouting, you'll know why]  Also, Brett's not really a fan of the dark ... I had to really talk him into it.  Davis helped, too ... I told Davis to help make Brett feel comfortable & happy about going.  Davis was so sweet ... on the way in Davis tried to make Brett feel better by saying "You're the best kid in our family!"  :)  I thought it was so sweet he was trying so hard.  Once we got in & got settled ... we all enjoyed the movie & treats.  :)  

Mentmeth Libby

If you read my cREaTe blog last week, you'd know what a Montmess was.  Well, I guess technically it was always Montmeth.  And this week she's tweaked it into Mentmeth. What am I talking about?!  Oh ... it's the way Libby says PRINCESS.  She thinks she's royalty now.

[Libby & her friend Delaney]

Me:  "Are you fancy?" [photo above was me asking this question]

Libby: "No.  Mentmeth."

Me:  "Libby, are you a silly girl?"

Libby:  "No.  Mentmeth."

Me:  "Libby, are you beautiful?"

Libby:  "No.  Mentmeth."

Oh & here?  This was her this morning shouting "I'M. A. MENTMETH!"

She's now got a Mentmeth bed, in case you haven't seen.

The ultrasound from November 2006 might have announced it the 1st time ... but it's now official.  We have a GIRL!

Fun with Cousins ...

Last Thursday, Kyle's brother picked up Kyle from the airport since we were in a bind. [Thanks Kelly!]  He had the kids with him, so we had an impromptu play date. We tried to beat the heat index of 108 with some popsicles & water fun. :) 

On Saturday the Lewis Fam came down for a visit & BBQ.  We had a really good time, despite Lib's little melt-down.  Don't let her fool you.  :) ha ha
