Family Clown

Umm...need I say more? The best part about this girl is how she keeps a straight face when she's making us crack up and she comes up with this stuff all on her own.

For some strange reason, I seem to be humming Bon Jovi's "Living On a Prayer," I just can't figure out why :). I am now 20 weeks along in the pregnancy. I have been feeling pretty good, other than needing to take a short nap most days. I just love feeling the baby move, it has got to be one of the most amazing feelings and it feels like my own little secret every time I feel it. (BTW - everytime I see a picture of a pregnant model I always laugh at the way they seem to be arching their back. Now look at me, I certainly wasn't trying to, how funny).

"Cause You Got Personality"

’cause you got personality,

Walk, personality
Talk, Personality
Smile, Personality
Charm, personality
Love, personality
(anyone remember this song by Lloyd Price from 1959?)
I think of this song whenever I look at my girls who each have such different personalities that just seem to be bursting from their beautiful bodies.

Clarissa has been helping Chris work on the cars the past couple of weeks (yes, it's been cold). After helping with one set of brakes, she came home looking like this and telling us how much fun it was. I am taking notes now that if I'm ever caught in the snow with a flat tire, this is the kid I want to have with me. She is so tough and talented, but still a little girly, she just started dance classes back up again and loved her first day back.

On the other hand, Krystal is all girl. One evening she was busily playing in the basement when Chris tried to go down the stairs and found this scene. Apparently her Barbies were dining at a posh restaurant with many levels. Maybe she'll design upscale restaurants in her future or at least cook the food for them, she's a great cook. In the meantime, I hope she remembers to put those Barbies away or we might have a repeat of my all time favorite comedy act (dangerous toys Part 2, it's not politically correct, but it's funny).

New Year's Eve Bash

We love that the kids are getting older, they are so much fun. For the past two years, we have actually stayed up until midnight for New Year's Eve with Jared and Clarissa and this year we decided they were old enough for a party. We invited three families over for a total of 20 kids. The evening included...
