First Birthday Party!

I so hate blogging out of order, but i was waiting on some pictures...so forgive me!

Friday the 13th was our friend Lily's 1st birthday. It was also the twins first kiddo birthday party with cake and presents. Britta and I were pregnant at the same time. I can't believe Lily is already turning one...that means there's another big birthday coming up soon...whoa!

Here's Lily with her cupcake. Isn't she adorable? and here's all the kiddo's

left to right and top to bottom:

Tatum, Kelsey, Elizabeth, Bethany, Nora, Holden, Evan and Lily

Bibi just loves the babies!

checking Holden out

i just love how excited Lily and Britta both are in this picture

New Roomie

I haven't really announced it yet, but we have a new roommate for the next 4 months or so. My friend from high school, Jennifer Allen has come to help out and we are so excited to have her!

Here are a few pictures from senior year...

That's Mike and I, the second couple in on the left and then Jenn is on the far right end.

and i just had to put this one in, because its an all-time favorite of mine...from left to right Katie, Me, Heather and Jenn, sitting under the sun in the halls of Asheboro High.

and here we are now... hairstyles may change but some friendships never do!
(ah man, that was cheesy, i'm going to bed now!)

Kitchen Nightmares

First of all, meet my new refrigerator. After a super exasperating past month...i say good riddance old refrigerator, i didn't really like you and your side by side doors anyway and HELLO new refrigerator of which does NOT try to catch on fire on a Wednesday while i am on my way to a play date, and which does not ruin all of my food as soon as i go shopping and of which DOES fit a frozen pizza box. Welcome to my life. In other news, i have had a constant nuisance in my house since moving here 4 years ago...a dishwasher that continually drained through the air gap and into the sink instead of through the garbage disposal like it was designed to do. SO...Mike and I inquired early on about why it does this and we were told by a not so trusty Lowes Hardware Professional, that our problem was "normal". Hmm...interesting, and apparently a load of crap.

Anyway, my good friend Marybeth noticed the problem this past week and suggested trying to unclog the drains because that is how she fixed her problem. Okay, well--although i do boast in my amazing plumber skills, I do not, I repeat DO NOT mess with kitchen sink drains...GROSS! Thankfully friend Jennifer does mess with kitchen drains, or at least is up for the challenge, so here she is unclogging the drain.

Although Jenn's efforts were indeed valiant, they did NOT fix the problem. But we were still determined to fix the problem and after much research i found out that ALL ALONG...YES ALL 4 YEARS, i have been dealing with a problem created by the installer forgetting to remove a measly DRAIN PLUG! Well, no crying over spilled milk right? or should i say 4 years of spilled dirty dishwasher water all over my counters and floors and cabinets. It's over. Time to move on and rejoice in the fact that i will have 2 years of correctly functioning drainage systems.

Ahh...it sure is nice to have peace in the home. At least for now.

Innocent Who?

um...whatcha doing? haha, that's more like my babies!

"brother, i'll get you outta there!"
"wanna try mine for a while?"

the escapee

having a VERY serious conversation, obviously

haha, or not.

"hey mama, what's up?"

"brother, what big teeth you have"

and a little surprise ....
