happy ONE

this little hare-y monkey was trying to prove to all those tortoises that some hares can make it...
so she went from this...
to one whole year old!
she was a grumpy bumbum the whole day, til she got icecream...then she was happy...she also had to secure her chicken bone. icecream-bone-icecream-bone=good times.a nice enough looking picture, but it was definitely not the nicest pie i ever made. something about me and birthdays...we don't seem to get along. i'm gonna have to fix that as the kids get older. for now...they don't care. i can get away with practically anything.

...sometimes i get scissor-happy.

at the soccer field...
on some random rock on the side of our country road...

wake-up time

one day (well, actually almost EVERY day...but this day in particular) liney woke up with a total mop-head of hair, i felt i must take a picture...

duplo and stuff...

i firmly believe that play time like this is a very important part of school (at some point in time i need to update dava's school blog)
and this would be...and stuff...
neighbor monkey at marcos and sara's...liney loves it and the baby hates it. the baby hates all animals.
