Short and Sassy...

Brooke loves her new haircut and I promised some grandma's some pictures... :)

Crazy Does It...

The girls had "Crazy Hair Day" at school recently... What was crazy was how much longer it takes to make their hair look bad than it does to make it look good...

the front view...

and the back...

Quote of the Day...

Sam was at therapy yesterday and stuck out her belly, rubbed it in a circle and walked around saying...

"I have biiiig boobs! I have really biiiiiig boobs!"

Big boobs and sweaty armpits. Apparently, she's a very small teenager...

Sisters...

(overheard) Quote of the Day...

Alix - "You be the princess!"

Erin - "I can't be the princess!"

Alix - "Whatever. Be the princess!"

Erin - "I can't be the princess. I'm NOT a princess!"

Alix - "Why aren't you a princess?"

Erin - "Du-uh. Because I don't have a tiara!"

If only I had know that's all it took... I would have gotten myself a tiara long ago... (And yes, they really do talk in all exclamation points.) (And I know this isn't that funny, but I really like the picture and needed something to go with it...) :)

Thank You.

To the woman who helped me grow...

Who loves my children...
And showed me what it is to be a mother.
I love you mom! Happy Mother's Day. I'm the woman I am today, because you taught me how to fly.

Quote of the Day...

My girls were asking questions about our neighborhood volcano, Mt. Rainier...

Alix - "So, there isn't any lava up there now?"

me - "No, honey, there hasn't been for years and years."

Alix - "Like, since I was born?"

me - "No. I mean for hundreds and hundreds of years."

Alix - "So, like, when Grandma Beth and Grandpa Albie were little?"
