Children's Museum

We had a great time at the Children's Museum downtown. The kids had a great time and loved being able to run around crazy! Thanks Kar for inviting us and thanks Mom for your help with the kids.

We wore Grandma & Autie Kari out :)

G.G.

1931-2010

I am really missing my G.G. tonight and it's only been 3 days since we said goodbye. I wish everyone could have known this fabulous, selfless woman. She was an example to me and to all those who had the priviledge to be around her. Love you Grams.

BROOKS IS 4

Happy 4th Birthday B
When we woke up Grady had already openened Brooks' presents. Brooks was such a good sport and didn't even get mad at him.


Brooks loves his D Will jersey

Brooks wanted to go to Wheeler Farm for his birthday- I was glad to do it, it is free, uncrowded and the kids can just run.
We were happy to have G & G Berrett join us for Transformer cake.
I love my Brooksy Boy and here are some reasons why...
* He is really funny and likes to make others laugh
* He likes to cuddle with his mom
* He wears cowboy boots everywhere
* He is active and keeps me going
* He loves to spend time with his Grandma & Grandpa
* He looks like his dad
* Most of the time he is nice to his brother & sister
* He is really smart
* He is a hard worker
* He was worth the wait :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG GUY!

Squishy is 2

This little boy just turned 2

And this little boy is so much fun, energetic, sweet, funny and big. He makes our family complete and so much fun!

Grady & Kate (hopefully one day this will be on their wedding vidoe- hehe)

For Grady's day we met some friends at Wheeler Farm. Grady had so much fun running around with the other kids and petting all the animals.
That evening he opened his presents- he got a cute outfit, trucks and blocks, a little bike thing, b-ball hoop and car track.

We had Grandma and Grandpa over for Elmo cake. He loved his cake and the whole day before his birthday he kept taking it out of the fridge and bringing it to me. It got pretty messed up, but he loved it.

I don't think Grady really understood what all the fuss was about, but when we sang Happy Birthday to him he was so cute and smiled the whole time.

We love our little caboose and are so grateful he's ours.

L and L Jewelry

So, Lisa and I finally did it. We started our own little jewelry business, tax id numbers and all :) We have really enjoyed this new adventure. We did a gift show last week and we were able to sell some of our new Spring line as well as make contacts with some boutiques and gift shops. It was a fun, eye opening experience for both of us.

We just opened an etsy store where we are selling our jewelry until our website store is up and running. If you are interested (and you should be-haha) go to etsy and our store name is :lalaandlulu. We hope that everyone will enjoy what we have made as much as we have enjoyed making it.

Thanks for looking!
