We all LOVE Barney!

She said it, finally! I am guessing you all know who Barney is, the big purple dinosaur. I can say up until today I really disliked the the big purple marshmallow. However, my feelings for Barney have changed since Piper said those three amazing words....."I love you!" She said it, she said it! It was unprovoked, unexpected and completely amazing. Barney is the greatest cartoon character ever! Even if she continually asks to see him..."I wanna see Barney. I wanna see Barney." We have worked with her on it for the last 23 months. Barney only needed two weeks.

This is our Lil' Girl. She is growing up way too fast. Does anyone know of any ways to stunt a child's growth....soda, candy...any thing? Ok, maybe not growth but maturation. I really need to slow her down. Next week we're talking about boys and dating. When we leave the gym day care she always says "Bye boys." We have to remind her to say bye to the rest of her friends as well.


We had a "couples night" with some friends about a week ago. The girls planned the evening which consisted of a 1) photo treasure hunt, 2) three legged snow shoe race, and 3) dizzy adventure race ending with a beer bong. It was a lot of fun and we learned a lot about the other couples. Following is a picture of Bridget and I taken during the photo treasure hunt. The subject of the photo is "How did we both fit in here?"



Since we can't leave out the last member of the family, following is a picture off the monster. He is really trying our patience. Not solely because he is a puppy, but because he has some severe dominance issues. He generally listens to me, however, he challenges Bridget every chance he can. Biting, jumping, humping her leg/back/wherever are just a few of the ways he does. Any suggestions? We are almost at the point of giving up. The only reason he has lasted as long as he has, other than the amount of money we have already spent on him, is because he is so cute.

Say Hello to my little Friend....

Hello Ya'll. Piper here. I just wanted to introduce you all to my new little brother. He doesn't look much like me, but mama and daddy assure me that he is my brother and that we can't give him back. Sometimes I like him, when he doesn't bother me. Other times, like when he wants to play with me, tries to play with my toys, gets within ten feet of me, or even looks at me, I don't really like him so much. So, meet my new little brother (28 lbs. at 10 weeks)....Angus.


Daddy says he is kind of lazy. That's why he is riding in the wagon with me. I think it's because he is from Alabama and doesn't really like the snow. Gotta get off the computer now...time for a diaper change. Peace out. Master P.
