Slump

What's wrong with me? I have no creative juices and nothing to say lately. And when I say nothing, I mean

Nothing.

Nada.

Zilch.

Squat.

A big fat ZERO.

That's truly sad because our kids do funny things every day. They say endearing, cute things, too. At the time they say it I think, "Aww. I want to remember that forever! I'll put it on the blog." They also do maddening things that make me think, "I should document that so SOMEDAY when each of you whip out the 'I was the perfect child' card, I'll have proof that you WEREN'T." But then I think, "Does anyone else care, but me? Their mother? The one who will love them always, no matter what?"

THEN I think, "Maybe I should write about something I have very strong feelings about, like... *enter indefinite pause and crickets chirping here*" Uh-huh.

So I'm not feelin' it. That's ok, right? I'll get my blogging on again someday soon. I promise.

Until then, here are some really cute pictures for you to see.

Charlie turned 5. FIVE! Can you believe it?
Apparently neither can he!

Tommy is by far the cutest baby on the block.


Anne and Jane got new do's.

This is just all cuteness.

And, as always, I am forever chasing these kids around.

Sorry there's no picture of our dear Cap'n Bart. That's what happens when you're the one behind the camera, I guess.
(For the record, he's still as hot as he ever was!)

A Recap of Festivities

Our Holiday Festivities began a few days before Christmas.

BART HAD VACATION TIME! WOO-HOO!

We began with cake and ice cream.
Jane turned 3.

The Jolly Fat Man made a pit-stop at our home making our li'l ones
BELIEVE.

Snow fell for the 3rd year in a row.
("We NEVER see snow here!" MY FOOT)
Unlike the other years, I was actually excited about it--mostly because they cancelled church for the 8" we had!
(Just don't tell my bishop, OK JOANNA??) :)

We relaxed, napped, and watched a gross amount of movies.

We taught Tommy about cookie-making and had an accident with the flour. It was EVERYWHERE--mainly on him.

We built a gingerbread house...

...poorly.

And now Tommy is 4 months old and growing fast!
Where does the time go?

Happy New Year, (late) everyone!
