racing wheels...literally

coffin road

ever stopped at coffin road? neither had we until evb decided that she had to go to the bathroom with not a gas station, rest area or port-a-pottie in sight... but there was coffin road. coffin road is between hermiston & tri-cities. the middle of no-where. however, aaron has this amazing talent of turning even the strangest middle of no-where place into someplace fun. we got back in the car after a thirty minute stop & realized no one went to the bathroom.

a missed birthday

with all the holiday stuff going on i haven't posted miss c's birthday and thanksgiving pics. we got to go to my parents house & both my sisters were there with their new babies. charley was excited to be able to share her birthday with her cousins. she really wanted to get her ears pierced and had been talking about it for weeks. it just didn't work out for her this year though...she choose a heart necklace instead. maybe next year. on the way home from boise we seemed to have to make so many stops. evb was notorious for needing to stop the minute we passed a rest area or gas station.

charley REALLY wanted a tom & jerry cake for her birthday. my sisters were so helpful in putting it together & chris made the best little jerry mouse & adorned the cake with her perfect handwriting. makes alisha & i sick.

She was so excited to blow out the candles. she brags about her big eyes & they really get big here!!

This was our before ear piercing picture. yea...so smiley

not so sure.....

get this girl away from me!!!

after NOT getting her ears pierced but getting a dot & a new necklace instead.

i heart jb vs. pacifier

it broke my heart to throw her pacifier out the car window & it broke every time she said "i very want my pacifier" but the results have been TOTALLY worth it. as a reward i let her choose a treasure for doing so well without one. of all the things she could have picked, she had to choose a small teddy bear with a "i heart jb" hoodie on. regardless of how i feel about my two year old and justin beiber, this picture is pretty dang rewarding.

crazy halloween

Aaron & i went to a costume party this halloween weekend. had a great time, wish my white makeup had turned out better but you live and learn. evb freaked out & so i guess next year i will have to be something less "creepy" as she called it.

Aaron left me on Halloween to take his parents back to the airport. When we finally met up I told him that he could never leave me on Halloween again. It was crazy!

This is what I heard while trying to assembled, decorate, pin, & accessorize four girls ALL NY MYSELF!

"Mom, where's my sword? Mom, I can't get my tights on! Mom, mabel is crying. Mom, these eyelashes are pokey. Mom, i smeared my eyeliner!" AAAAAGGGGHHHH.

However, the results were awesome.

Charley wanted to do a "fashion shot". That's what she called it. Then she started a trend.

Evb's fashion shots were pretty funny but I this is the best of the bunch.
