Nap Time

This is what a semi-tired 3 year old does when she is supposed to be taking a nap!

I peeked in on Rian to see if she was sleeping and this is what I found......her stuffed animals were all wearing UNDERWEAR and her grey kitty cat was in a top and skirt! I couldn't help but laugh until tears were pouring out of my eyes at which point Rian said "mom don't cry they didn't have any "accidents" in my bed!".....this sent me into an even harder fit of laughter!! I love this little creative girl!

Christmas Cookies & Friends

The other night we spent a fun evening with the Knoll family! Our kids really enjoy playing with their three wonderful kids (Kelan, McKenzie & Gillian). After gobbling up pizza and bread sticks we got out the gingerbread and sugar cookies so they could all decorate cookies together. Here are some pics of the festivities!

Mrs. B

Congrats to Mike & Mari who were married on November 21 in St. Louis. The wedding was amazing! I was asked to give a little speech just before dinner and I thought I would share it with all of you.

(Irish Wedding Blessing)
May your mornings bring joy and your evenings bring peace.

May your troubles grow few as your blessings increase.

May the saddest day of your future be no worse than the happiest day of your past.

May your hands be forever clasped in friendship and your hearts joined forever in love.
Your lives are very special,God has touched you in many ways.

May his blessings rest upon you and fill all your coming days.

Dear God, thank you so much for bringing Mike and Mari together as a couple. We know that you have a plan and a purpose for their marriage, and we invite you to come into their lives and relationship and direct their steps from now on. Please give them the grace to put you and each other first every day. Make their relationship a blessing to others. But most of all; make it a blessing to you. Amen."

Kami"ism"

The girls think the word "butt" is hilarious so the other day when a commercial on TV about the new Sketchers brand tennis shoes came on and advertised how these shoes can make your butt better they erupted in laughter. After quieting down they asked how tennis shoes make your butt better (oh yeah a learning opportunity!). I explained that the muscles in your butt called "gluteus maximus" get a workout by wearing the shoes because of their design.......before I could finish the little educational and scientific lecture Kami says to Rian "hey Rian did you know that means you have glu in your butt" and the laughter once again erupted!! Silly little girls!
