8

Eight years ago today I made the best decision of my life. I married the BEST man for me! I am the luckiest girl I know, I get to spend everyday with my best friend. We get to laugh, goof off, cuddle, adore, and just LOVE each other. Forever. I love my life. And I love Landon.

Happy Anniversary Babes!

Rainy Day

Saturday it rained all day. But that doesn't stop our children from getting antsy and from wanting to go outside. So Landon, being the fun parent, let the kids play outside to their hearts content. Lucky kids. Mom would never go for this.

Enchanted

Jolie is in an after school program for musical theater. This term they did scenes from the movie Enchanted. She was an "enchanted creature." Or kitty. It was very cute. Here are some pictured from the event!


Jolie and the other enchanted creatures.

Dancing

Singing

We can't wait for Mary Poppins next term!

3 Items of Business

Item 1:
We are in love with our tree around here. We agree it is our biggest and best yet!


Item 2:
Read the line at the bottom of the page. If there was ever any doubt, now we know for sure: Jolie hates homework. (I think I will have her erase it, I don't think Mrs. Huff would get the joke.)

Item 3:
Could these silly boys look any more alike? I think not.

Sisters

I guess we do look a little bit alike.


*I stole this picture from Chrissy's blog from our Thanksgiving celebration. Good times.

Good Things

Today lots of good things are happening.

-Jolie is receiving an award in front of the whole school. (You know she is so thrilled about that!)
-Lucy is being a sweetie
-I just painted my nails the cutest new color.
-New Moon tonight with the ladies!!
-I am expected a package from JCrew today, thanks Brooke and Mike!

I do love Fridays.

What A Day

First my car won't start, Jolie left all the lights on in the car last night. Then I couldn't find my phone for hours, when I desperately needed it. Then at the dentist we learned Lucy has her first cavity. And Reese only had one nap today.

I am ready for bed.

Oink Oink

Thanks for the birthday greeting folks! My weekend was pretty fun, Landon and I went to a fun play in west Hollywood that was really cool. The actual birthday was a bit of a bummer seeing as this lovely lady (below) has the swine flu. It really is a nasty bug so lets just all hope the rest of us don't catch it! Thankfully she seems to be on the mend today so by Thursday she should be back to shool.

This picture I had to add of my Lucy and her best buddy Xavier. Lucy is in love with this boy. In fact, she only seems to like boys these days. All of her friends at school are the boys. Every day she comes home and tells me which boys she sat by at lunch and which ones said what to her. I think Landon is secretly worried about her fascination with the opposite sex ;)

I hope you are all getting those H1N1 vaccines! If only I had been a few days sooner we could have been spared. Oh well!

Happy Birthday Katie!

Hey Katie - I totally just hacked your password! Haha!

Anyhoo, while you're all reeling at my amazing technical savvy, I thought I would take this moment to let you all know that today marks the anniversary of my beloved wife Katie's birth.

While you all most likely consider yourselves a wonderful wife, mother or human being, I'm sorry to let you know that Katie has you beat in all three of these categories HANDS DOWN. Not only does she put up with my cantankerous personality and exhausting hi-jinks with grace and aplomb, she's also managed to raise three of the cutest, funniest and most talented children I've ever encountered (spoiler: I'm referring to my own children).

But it's not all just tolerating me and our children, Katie is the most fun person I know. Who else would accompany me to hipster concerts and low-budget horror/comedy theatrical productions? Only the cutest/funniest person I've ever met in my entire life (spoiler: I'm referring to Katie).

So let's all raise a virtual glass in honor of Katie on her birthday. I love you babe!
