Guilty

I hate it when people don't update their blogs and here I am almost a year later updating mine. The problem is that I don't take pictures and I don't have any good stories to tell. Our camera has been on the fritz for a while and we've sent it in four times now to get fixed. Hopefully this is the last time and hopefully it will be done before the baby comes. It's also not convenient that I can only upload pictures on our laptop and Keith usually has it with him at school. Anyway, I'll work on it. I do have pictures from Avery's birthday, look for those in the near future.

A little Advice

I'm writing this post on our desktop which does not have any pictures on it, so this post won't have any either. Once I get a hold of our laptop I will finish the Christmas post. Even if it's in April or June, I will do it. I'm writing because I have a little advice. Here goes...

Don't let your laundry pile up. I know, you already know this. But you never know when the spin cycle is going to go out on your washer and the repair guy isn't going to be able to come for a couple days and if you haven't kept up on your laundry you might (or perhaps your children) could be in a serious predicament.

You might be thinking, wow, that's pretty specific, do you know first hand about this? And the answer is why, yes, yes I do. Poor Avery does not have any clean clothes, except dresses but her leggings are dirty. And Cameron only has pajamas. Keith is down to the last of the "unmentionables."

We're hoping the repair man doesn't postpone.

Catching up

I went to my blog the other day for some reason that I can't remember and noticed that the last post I did was of the freaky kid pictures. I was pretty shocked that it had been so long. Not to mention the fact that it still had the Thanksgiving background. So here I am trying to catch up. Since there is so much, I'm going to keep the commentary to a minimum. Our lovely Thanksgiving turkey, which tasted delicious until we noticed that it wasn't cooked all the way through.
The traditional "carving of the turkey" photo.

After Thanksgiving we were off to "sunny" California to visit my family. I say "sunny" in quotes because it actually rained seven of the nine days we were there. It was still a well needed vacation and a ton of fun.

Cameron LOVES the broom. It, however, doesn't love him back. It often hits him in the head, trips him and has even been the cause of him falling down the stairs. I have no clue why he isn't wearing any pants.
We made sugar cookies with the kids but Avery isn't wearing a shirt in any of the pictures. Again, I have no clue why. I know she isn't wearing clothing in most pictures, but I feel that she's a little too old now to have those pictures paraded online.
Because my nephew, Conner, was fully dressed, he gets the privilege of demonstrating the cookie decorating.

Later, we went to the Discovery Center in San Diego. The kids LOVED it! I wish we had a place like this around here.

Giant blocks

Cam loved this mirror. I couldn't get him away from it.


We're pretty sure Cameron has a future in sand wheel design. There is a market for that, isn't there?
I could have played with these sand wheels all day.


Is it bad that I thought it was so funny that Cameron couldn't get the beach ball. He was so close, yet so far. He wasn't blessed with his mom's monkey arms, instead he has his dad's T-Rex arms and couldn't quite make it.

It's my own fault for getting so behind, but I'm going to call it quits tonight. I'm tired and blogging stresses me out (which is why I don't do it very often).

To be continued...
