I love you this much

Fun fact: my mom and Snowmeow share the same birthday.

Must be why they're so similar- both a bit fiesty, both full of awesome.

The kids made my mom a birthday card, by tracing their hands, then gluing the two hand pieces together with a length of construction paper as tall as they each are.  I love you this much.  It's something my mom has said to my kids since they were born. It's their thing. 

I think she loved the cards most, out of all her gifts <3

Snowmeow is One!

  Happy first birthday, furry girl. We couldn't ask for a better kitty.

I Demand A Recount

We had a silly face drawing contest last night. 

There was Em's (I helped her a bit), Clay's, Narls', and then mine.

The little person in the upper left corner is Emerson.  Narls even gave her piggies.

See my face's ears? Now look at Narls' face's ears.  He clearly copied me.

And yet he still won.  That's some shit.

Yes, I voted for myself.  I almost had Em's vote, too, until she went all rogue on me and voted for her brother.

Wine, and Drag Queens, and Sleepovers, Oh My!

This past weekend was Jamie's bachelorette party.

It was planned by all of her bridesmaids and we kept the plans secret from her.

Because we're awesome like that ;)

The only part Jamie knew beforehand was that she had to wear an old bridesmaid dress.

Because that's always fun and not the least bit crazy, right? haha

Luckily she's up for anything and trusts us 100% so she threw on her dress with complete gusto.

The first half of the evening consisted of wine tasting at this absolutely perfect winery. We had cheese and chocolate and wine and we talked and laughed and drank wine.

The second half was even better, with drag queen bingo.

This bitch was HILARIOUS.

We had like three or four of our girls win bingos (not me though, which I'm still salty about) and seriously, we had the best time.

Then it was back to Kristy's house for a sleepover involving games, and presents and sex toys, and, of course, more cocktails.

Our bride was thoroughly surprised. And she had the best time. We all did. <3

Two Amazing Years

Today is our anniversary.

Two years ago we sat in the title company's office, stomachs full of butterflies and hands tight from clenching pens and signing documents.

For two years we've mowed our lawn and shoveled snow off of our driveway and hosted our babies' birthday parties and marked their height on their bedroom doorframes and made memories.

Amazing memories. In our home.

 What an amazing two years it's been <3
