On the road

The vehicals have been washed.

Packed and loaded.

We've said our goodbyes and have hit the road. I-10 west, here we come.

Video Fun with Laurelei

CJ got a kid camera for Christmas. Laurelei always takes pictures of herself thinking she is taking pictures of others.





Laurelei also was intrigued with our digital camera, trying to take pictures, but hit the record button instead. Enjoy!

Happy Valentines

 Look at my valentines!

  

Too cute!

She's so big!

Laurelei has turned 2.  We celebrated last Saturday with her friends, she has 3 with birthdays all within a day or so of each other.  It was a lot of fun!

Laurelei got another doll, which she loves being mommy to. Toni found the cutest little individual cakes for the girls --puppies! and as you can see, Laurelei ate hers up!

Yesterday we headed to Chuck E Cheese as a family.  We got there at 4:30...and it was really nice to have the place basically to ourselves.  By the time we left, it was crowded and had lots of birthday parties going on.

 

 

 Friends, pizza, games and presents, a 2yr old's dream!

We even made time to play at the park yesterday with more friends.  She had a great day!

With so much...nothing

With so much going on in the next couple of weeks, I have nothing to share...the movers are lined up, they'll be here on the 17th.  We out process on the 20th and pick up my brother on the 21st and continue heading west.  Eric got home on Thursday night about 10:30.  The girls haven't let him out of their sights since then.  My dad and grandma headed north early Friday morning --yet another hard good bye, softened only slightly by the arrival of daddy.  Saturday we had a bday party for Laurelei with her friends, she has 2 that have birthdays a couple of days apart so we did a combined party for the 3 of them. This week will be a basically normal week for us, with lots of organizing and sorting going on.

CJ asked Grandma if she would move to AZ with us.

Kjetil was passed out on grandpa's lap...he was comfy and not moving!  He misses his naps with grandpa!

I'm asked who Kjetil looks like.  While I have been told that all three look like each other (and that I could never deny them as mine) I came across a picture of Laurelei when she was 2mos old.  It looked like it could be Kjetil in a pink dress. Let me reassure you, that at this point, he has not worn a pink dress, not even a pink onesie...however with 2 older sisters, one day it certainly could happen.

5000 words plus a few extra

A picture is worth a thousand words right?  Oh there are so so many to describe these...but I'll try and let the pictures do most of the talking......

The lonely REAL bike trailer hangin' in the garage.

So many things could be said like.....
You might be a redneck if....
or
Proof that just because you technically get the senior discount, doesn't mean you've matured past age 7.......
or
It's more fun to get whip lash and pounded by bugs when riding....
or
Make up your own.....


This is the contraption I found after picking CJ up from school yesterday.  Gpa claims he didn't see the trailer and as a side note, that Laurelei had a great time.  I have enforced the helmet rule for this to continue.
