fishy funeral.

Rock Steady didn't last long.
Hudson took it incredibly well.
I'm very proud of him!

I can take darn good care of 3 children.
Why can't I keep a fish alive??
Seriously, it's a fish.

this little piggy.

Little Sylvie Lach is not a fan of food.



rice cereal, pears, sweet potatoes...
crazy faces, dramatic gagging...





But, as soon as the spoon is away from her face, she's all smiles.
Little Turkey!!

fishy friends.

The kids had won a goldfish at the carnival at Hudson's school in February. The kids named him Stuart and were quite excited about having a pet. Just as with almost every fish won at a carnival booth, Stuart wasn't around long. So, we went to the pet store last weekend and came home with 2 new family members. Hudson had some birthday money from his aunt & uncle and he decided he wanted a new fish. And, if big brother gets a pet, middle sister can't be left out. We went with 2 Beta fish and have our fingers crossed that they'll live longer than Stuart the goldfish!



Delaney chose a red Beta and named it Nemo.


Hudson decided on a blue Beta and named him Rock Steady.

Hmmm, Pinteresting.

wonton tacos - they were a hit with the whole family
enchilada casserole - so easy and good! I changed it up a little bit.
pacifier clip - I used this idea as inspiration for a clip I made my niece.
baby bump picture - I passes this idea an to my sister who spelled out my nieces name and held it in front of her pregnant belly. So special....absolutely one of my favorites!!

Hello? Anybody home??

Once again, I'm back! :)

This January, I vowed to become better at documenting our family memories. It is so easy to take pictures, upload them to my computer and end there. I need to be better about printing and sharing pictures. Someday, I want my kids to look back on photo albums, our blog, framed photographs, etc and remember the life we created together. Life being busy is no longer going to be an excuse! Life won't slow down for years!!

I may or may not catch up on all the posts I should have written, but starting today, I hope to do better.

Today, I will begin by giving the blog a facelift. Don't you love the family pictures we had taken? Much too nice to just keep in the computer!!

Happy March!

incredible shrinking hippo.

Complete craziness! How can my baby girl be growing this quickly!??
