WHAT A DIFFERENCE A YEAR MAKES...

Notice the difference in Claire's height compared to Madeline's from last Easter to this Easter!!! Every time I see pictures of them together, I can see why people think they are TWINS.

In the last picture I tried to get a picture of all 3 of them and Jack literally walked in between his sisters, said "Cheese" and ran off as fast as he could....maybe next year.

I'M OLD....

I'm twice as old today as I was when I graduated from high school:) Getting old SUCKS about as much as losing that 18 year old body!!!

COWGIRL UP....

Claire had "Rodeo Day" on Friday at preschool...here's what we came up with. Thanks Roe for letting us borrow the best cowgirl boots ever and Grandma Angie for the blinged out horse tee!!!

MARDI GRAS BALL....

Matt and I ready for the ball!

The Nichols and Farrars

The only true Cajun in the bunch, Lise and hubby Jose

Matt with the best mask of the night in my option...a Jayhawk.

Thanks to all those who organized this fabulous ball. It was sooo much fun. Everyone looked fantastic, the music was awesome....we could not have had a better night (this morning could have been better though :)

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!

CAN'T YOU JUST FEEL THE LOVE :)

WHO 'DAT???

FOR THE RECORD, 'DAT IS BRAD AND ANGELINA SITTING RIGHT ABOVE US AT THE SUPERBOWL!!!!

WE HAD A GREAT WEEKEND, FABULOUS TIME AT THE SUPERBOWL....BUT THIS WAS PRETTY MUCH THE HIGHLIGHT FOR ME (I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAY, HE IS STILL VERY CUTE, WITH OR WITHOUT THE SCRUFFY BEARD AND STASH).

"I DON'T LIKE THIS BED..NO"

For awhile now, that's what I've heard every night when putting Jack to bed. I have been holding out because I thought I could use a BIG BOY bed as motivation to go "POTTY IN THE POTTY". Well, this week Jack had finally had enough of the crib and pretty much didn't sleep for 2 days straight...after all this little guy is 2 years 8 months and still sleeping in a crib with bumper pads!!!

So today, an era came to an end and we no longer, nor will we ever have a crib again in our house. Pretty liberating and sad all at the same time...I know Matt's happy to see it go since today marked the 11th time he has had to take down and/or reassemble a crib in 7 years!!!

Now I get to spend the night worrying if he is going to get out of his bed in the middle of the night and wonder down the stairs and break his legs or go into his sisters rooms and wake them up or turn on the water in the bathtub in his room,etc...
