Two Little Monkeys Reading on the Bed

Scout decided to read to Elle a few nights ago and I thought they were both pretty cute.

Neglected Blog

I know, and I'm ready to do something about that.  Stay tuned and in the meantime know this:

I am completely and utterly in love with this yogurt:

Especially strawberry and vanilla.   Try it.  It kicks Greek yogurt and Stoneyfield Organic in the trash if you ask me.

Have a nice day.

Elinor Pants

If it makes her laugh, you just go with it.
And then Scout comes in and helps you.










And then you pull out the camera.
(Then when Scout watches it later, Elle hears the song and laughs all over again.)

Scatterbrain

We are home from Mexico and school has started and I have a lot to catch up on my blog.
But not today. 

It's almost September and I haven't done my July movie watching post. *guilt*

Rob is gone for a few days on another fishing trip (no scary movies this time).  He is actually fishing with a group of Rett people "fishing for a cure" I think it might be called.  He is supposed to rub shoulders with some of the higher ups of the Rett Syndrome Foundation.  Pretty neat.  Good cause.

My ipad didn't seem to like the humidity in Mexico and keeps trying to shut itself off.  Hudsauce.

Well, I guess that's it.  

I suppose I could use my boredom to start my July movie post, but I don't think I will.

I need more pictures to do my Mexico ones, but they're coming.  

Sorry for the random babbling............

A Wedding in The Rockies

We went on a little road trip this past weekend to Denver (yeah- interesting weekend to be in Denver) to see Rob's brother Travis get married to our new sister in law Alicia.  I must say, the Colorado mountains made a beautiful backdrop for a wedding. 

Beautiful day too AND a great couple.  We are glad to welcome Alicia officially into the family (we spent Christmas with her and she is fully approved- especially by Scout.  She wormed her way nicely into Scout's heart with about 300 games of "Go Fish").

 I am making a valiant effort to get Elle to walk to her table for the luncheon.

Cooperation was minimal.

Alicia is an ex pastry chef and turns her nose at wedding cakes (rightly so- dry tasteless things that they are), so instead, each table had a gourmet cake as the centerpiece and all the guests were going around tasting as many as possible.  I made it through 4 before I had to call it quits.  Later that night I deeply regretted not taking a few samples back to the hotel of the ones I didn't get to.  
Oh well.  I suppose it's all for the best.

Speaking of the hotel, this trip marked the first time the girls have ever shared a bed.  Good grief they were both giggly.  Elinor couldn't believe her good fortune finding herself laying next to Scout. 

Scout found it pretty exciting herself I think.  It took quite a while for them to settle down.

Here you get to witness Scout trying to photo bomb my picture, misunderstanding that I am actually recording a video........  Just watching this makes me tired.  Those were some epic beans.

Believe it or not, they both finally gave up........ like 2 hours later.


Rob and I just watched the news.  So sad.  It was pretty cool being able to watch the local news though- we got a better picture and more personal view of the whole thing.  Our hotel was only 15 minutes away from that theater.  
Still can't believe that happened.

There are plenty of other and better pictures taken by other cameras at the wedding, I just don't have my hands on them yet and don't know when I will. 

 As usual, my camera spent most of it's time in the diaper bag.

It was a great weekend though, and always fun to spend a few days with the fam, spread out across the US as they are (when I say spread out, I am talking from Pennsylvania to Hawaii -and a few places in between-, so we rarely get to spend time together.) 

We try and make the best of it when we do though.

Congratulations Travis and Alicia!!  We wish you the best!
