A Smile

Proud Momma

Taryn has entered the national K12 art competition every year. There are a lot of entries, and the further she gets along the more stiff the competition. I had high hopes when she entered her latest work for this years competition, because I love the picture myself. Her water color was of her uncle Shane playing his guitar and it was entitled "In the Spotlight". Secretly I hoped she would win, but I didn't want to get her hopes up. She checked her e-mail every day to see if they wrote. A few days ago I got a phone call letting me know she had won. I quickly ran upstairs and announced that she was this years winner, we jumped up and down rejoicing! The lady that called said she would send us an e-mail with the directions for what to do next. The following day we opened the email and it said.... Congratulations on your winning entry "The Hungry Panda". After a heart pounding phone call ... it was all straitened out.. and yes Taryn's entry "In the Spotlight" was a winner. So without further ado...

This is a little late, but.. It's our pumpkin carving post.

Moving on up.

This was a momentous week for Kristen who has moved out of the crib and into a big girl bed. It's hard to believe how fast she went from infant to big girl. I spent so much of her infancy in survival mode that it's all sort of a blur... but here she is .. on her big girl bed. So far she has only fallen out once :)

Michael is glad to be in the crib and out of the pack n play!

What's in a Name?

I have been trying to decide on a name for this blog for days now. Being someone who over thinks things, I thought I would ask my husband for ideas... Within seconds he replied "The suite life of Geoff and Kim" or "Perishing in Palmdale" Both would be accurate. Anyhow, now that I've gotten over the enormous job of naming the Blog... I can figure out what to write on it (a surprisingly difficult task with very little sleep and little ones interrupting my thoughts with "Mom can I, and Mom she took my toy")
Well, there it is ... my first entry.
