oscar's b day partay!

It was like Christmas all over again.
I guess that comes with having your birthday so close to Christmas.


I think Oscar was pleased with all his gifts.



the "after-party" jam session



opening (and eating) presents



Oscar's Elmo cake. Thanks Kathleen! She always makes the best cakes even when she has to work and doesn't get to come to the party. How many people do you know that will do that?



Enjoying his b day cookie. He hates the texture of cake.

happy anniversary, baby!

today jared and I celebrate the 12th anniversary of our first date. I asked him to preference. He was a senior and I was a sophomore. look how far we've come. so, what did we do today? we looked at a townhouse, saw "Marley and Me" and ate dinner at my sister's house. "Marley and Me" made me cry. the townhouse was sweet and dinner was yummy!

Jared and I are now on Facebook. Check it out! its pretty cool! I already have tons of friends and I'm soooo popular. Not as popular as Suzanne though. Those of you who haven't joined, should.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OSCAR!

Roz made Oscar a "Practice Cake"
in her easy bake oven that
she got from Grandma for Christmas



Oscar doesn't like cake or bread
or anything of that consistency.
So, I thought we'd see how he liked it.

he's thinking about it



get it away from me!



well, maybe



you'd think it was peas or something
crazy, boy!

Moving, again!

so, they are finally kicking us out.
we got our notice last night.

we knew it was coming since october
when we found out the owners of our
house hadn't been making their payment
and the house went into foreclosure.
we will be moving by the first of feb.
don't know where yet, just started looking.
it sucks.
its been pretty sweet not paying rent for
5 months though.

I know that when I post
i usually post tons of stuff.
but, thats just what you do
when you have insanely gorgeous kids
like I do
