Who stole the cookies from the cookie jar

Well you'll never guess where I found Walker this morning. Actually if you knew this kid you would have guessed by now. The little sneak! I guess he gets it from his dad! Then again who can't resist a bucket of Nestle cookie dough from Costco?!

Picture This

Guess what I found on my phone..........
If you missed one of my earlier blogs you may not know how much Abby likes to use my phone to take all sorts of random pictures of things around the house, the mall and mostly herself. Usually it isn't until days or weeks later that I find them hidden in the phone among other pictures I have taken. So here is her latest masterpiece.

Quick, be asleep!

Just for the record I do have another kid. I didn't realize Talmage is not mentioned much. Then again he's almost 1 yr old and doesn't do much by way of major entertainment. That was until this week during some recent feedings. So after days of doing this I figured out what he was doing. When feeding him his food I'd get about three bites left and he'd close his eyes and drop his head. I thought man, this kid gets tuckered out from eating. It's not that complicated. Or wow, was that his last bite....ever? Then when he'd look up and laugh then drop his head and close his eyes again I thought this guys playing me for a fool. This son of mine is playing "be asleep" so that he doesn't have to finish his food. Now that's a first. If only I could pull that off, anyone for that matter it would be hilarious to see.

So next time you are out eating with some friends and you just can't finish that last bite, think of Talmage and play asleep. Someone may pick up your check for you too. And your wallet!

Spring time, the only pretty ring time...

So the Spring Carnival came and went for Abby's school. We enjoyed a game of cake walk, the fishing pond, ring toss, tick-tac-toe and football throw. Downed some Mexican food (we are in California after all), some more cupcakes, snow cone, and cotton candy. Boy were we sick. "One last game" they begged. We were running out of tickets but fortunately had enough for the air slide. I guess they had a good time after all.
