Homecoming 2014
Ry & Ky - Homecoming 2014 Here's a peek at her hair. It was pretty easy. Low ponytail, flipped through itself, and a really quick sponge hair bun clip. We added a few bobby pins and a little bling. Kylie's homecoming date, this year, was the same friend who took her to the 8th grade dance a couple of years ago! They're so cute, and so sweet! Here's a pic from 2 years ago. They have most definitely grown up!
I’m responsible for teaching him responsibility.
This kid is cute, and I love him and all that But don't let his cute little face fool you. He's clearly got a thing or two to learn about his own responsibilities. It started when I got a note in his agenda stating that he owes 25 cents on a library late fee (they've been in school for a how is this possible?), and that he has a book that's missing. If we do not find it, the cost of the book is $ We've looked for it. He's adamant that it's at school. His teacher is adamant that it's not.…

My two year old likes to color… on important things. | #parenting
Whoever said that the baby of the family will be a breeze because you've "been there done that" already ----- was absolutely crazy. I'm just going to say it. I'm ready for my two year old to go ahead and skip three, four, five, and be six years old already! Man, I feel much better saying that. This is no joke! Kiddo number one is a girl. As an only child, she was fairly easy. It wasn't until we started adding siblings that she starting being a problem, but her toddler years were pretty much without incident. The teen years,…
