Losey turned 2!

Happy birthday baby!

Since we had a pm wedding to attend (THANKS again Sara and Ryan for babysitting- you guys are the very best) we had Lola's happy birthday in the morning and had cake for breakfast :) It was delicious (although lopsided).

A snapshot of Lola at 2 years old:

-Lola is possibly the worst hider in the whole world. When she knows someone's coming to find her she giggles and squeals so loudly it totally gives her away.

-Lola wants to be just like her big brother. She repeats everything he says and does everything he does.

-Lola has the most beautiful eyes of anyone on the planet.

-Lola calls root beer "root beard."

-Lola is a hopeless bookworm.

-Forrest names every box elder bug he catches "Gilbert" and Lola calls them all "yogurt."

-Lola loves to laugh and have fun.

-Lola, your family loves you very much! Thanks for being you.

my day

This morning I got rear-ended on the freeway (thankfully, nobody was hurt).

Then, I spent nearly the entire day having a "Jurassic Journey" at cub scout camp.

Afterwards, while trying to help a woman get her ENORMOUS vehicle out of a teeny tiny (I sure wish I knew how to make that word actually small) "parking space" (I put that in quotations because it wasn't a parking space at all. It was a gap between some trees) anyway, I was trying to guide her out of the space and she crashed her car into some trees. I felt really dumb and she was really mad.

When I told Quinn about it I started crying (I am blaming the pregnancy). He just laughed hysterically. When I got to my mom's house to pick up my kids I told her and my brother and sister-in-law and they all laughed hysterically too. I guess it was funny.

How was your day?

Lately our life has consisted of:

some pretty awesome outfits,



tender moments (luckily there are rewards for the not-so-tender-moments),



a camping trip,



Oh yeah, and we have some news


It's faint but there's a plus sign there. Baby number three is scheduled to arrive December 4th. We couldn't be more excited.

Sorry about posting a picture of something I peed on :)

bloggity blog

whatever. Have I really not updated since April 27??

I have approximately 5,000 pictures on my camera that I need to download and everytime I think about a blog post I feel really overwhelmed.

So I haven't downloaded any pictures (maybe tomorrow??) but I will share something I overheard while I was weeding this morning.

I hear Forrest making Lola hold the turn-the-sprinkler-on-thingy, do you know what I am talking about- that metal thing?? Anyway he is making her hold it and pretend it's a cane. I hear him tell her over and over that she gets to be the old woman and teaching her how to moan and groan while she is walking all wobbly with the cane. She was getting into it too- really playing the part. Then she came up to me and whispered into my ear that she was an old woman.

Where do they come up with this stuff?
