I'm so not a girly-girl mom...

... well, in most ways that's true. Take for instance hair bows... each of the girls have probably worn a bow in their hair maybe 2-3 times, TOTAL. I really do wish I was that mom that can do cute hair styles or always has cute bracelets or jewelry for the girls, but to be quite honest I can get so consumed and overwhelmed with just making sure they are dressed with clean underwear/diaper that I completely forget that they need to be GIRLS and have cute hair and stuff.

This morning I decided I needed to have my girls at least resemble GIRLS... hot pink nail polish coming right up!





It actually was the funniest thing to tell Brooke that I was going to paint her toenails. She ran to the office and pulled out Sam's paint set and said 'here mama, here your paint'. I laughed so hard... it really was quite cute. I took the girls to my bathroom and sat them on the counter and painted Sam's toes first so Brooke could see what it would look like. By the time it was Brooke's turn she was so excited. Once I finished her toes I set her on the floor and she started to get very upset and rubbing her toes on the rug (don't worry... they were dry) and then she starting crying. Apparently her toes were cute to her while she was sitting, but once she walked around and saw that the paint was stuck to her toes it really freaked her out. I left the paint on - she will get over it - but it's hilarious watching her walk funny and staring at her toes.

Tough Mudder

Here are some videos of the  Tough Mudder challenge that Scott took part in (January 2012). So incredibly proud of these guys... I present to you... the Dirty Dads! And here is a FUNNY video I took of the final obstacle...not of the boys, but still so hilarious to watch!

Random photos...

Whenever I have a photo shoot planned at my house in my little “studio” I always beg and plead with the kiddos to sit for just a second so that I can get the lights and set up just right before the actual shoot. Well, in doing that, I always end up with the most random of photos... ENJOY! [taken December 2011]

What we've been doing on our Friday nights...

We somehow got roped into a softball team over the summer with almost Scott's entire family as our team (minus a few who were smart to steer clear of the sign up sheet). We actually had a great time playing together and it was fun to do something different; boy were we a bunch of mis-fit toys in wonderland. We had one injury after the other which only reminds us all that we should leave the organized team sports to the next generation - we don't heal as quickly as we used to. Never the less, we did pretty good and were able to stick it out and make it through to the 2nd round of tournament games but then lost miserably and went down in a ball of flames to the tune of 24-4... YIKES! Unfortunately Scott had to work the night we took this photo at our last game... he was there in spirit! Our team captain - or the guy who *made* us do this - is Steve and he is the one kneeling with the goofy "thumbs-up smile" (and yeah, that's me next to the goof ball!) and he is ou...
