Sometimes, a picture just won’t do

August 19, 2010

Imagine I wrote a post here about my sweet son, and how he has learned to wink. It started out with him trying to imitate me winking at him and has progressed to him winking on command {making my kids do silly things is truly one of my most favorite things about being a mom…}.
Carson winking consists of him squeezing both eyes tight. It is beyond adorable and I can’t stand it. I do need to get an actual picture so when I make a book from my blog, I have a record of it (but maybe in a few …

Carson, in HD

July 25, 2010

Two videos of Carson from this past weekend.
1) He’s starting to figure out how to feed himself with a spoon and fork, without making too huge of a mess.
2) Carson is digging the new ‘hood with sidewalks and stuff.

My diving fish

June 27, 2010

Mallory has been INSANE with her swimming development the past two weekends. Just yesterday she started jumping off the side to me and then swimming about 7’ under water to reach me. I can’t get over how much fear she’s let go of in just two weeks. She bosses my mom around all over the pool, telling her to be the nice shark. Mallory is also diving down to the bottom of the shallow end (as well as her still-covered-in-baby-fat-body will let her sink!).
Mallory told me yesterday that she would jump off the diving board but Rick told me I …

Busy busy busy

June 20, 2010

Ahhh…the kids are in bed before 7.30p (not without some screaming and crying, and not necessarily just by the little kids).
Hectic busy weekend and we didn’t even leave Ann Arbor (unless you count Dexter and Saline?).
Anyways…I am going to try to get back into the almost everyday journal/blogging mode. I am so far behind since I’ve yet to post about Disney so I keep thinking I need to finish that first – i’m almost done but too much other stuff is going to be forgotten if I don’t post it now.
Friday was the end of year party at Mallory’s school. …

Mallorina the Ballerina

June 11, 2010

Mallory’s very first dance recital is this weekend. I am so stinking excited I can hardly stand it. I took ballet (and tap and toe) for eight years but didn’t start when I was three. Mallory LOVES dance class and loves when it’s Thursday because it’s “dance class day”.
Her dress rehearsal was last night and it was the only time we were able to take pictures and video. Here is a little sampling of the 27+ minutes of footage that Rick took. He has plans (in his free time) to make a little movie with video of her getting ready …

Biker Girl

April 27, 2010

Here is my very un-mac-like attempt at a video montage of Mallory & her new bike. I hope you like the music – I will be using it for something more appropriate at a later date, I’m sure.

Two for Tuesday

April 13, 2010

A few video gems for you.
This first one – please ignore her FABULOUS ladylike table manners and pay attention to how she tells you that sometimes “knifes” aren’t “shark”. She says SHARK for SHARP. Isn’t that so funny and adorably awesome?

* * *
This one is just funny to hear her tell me how to carefully remove her band aid and then she pulls it off herself. And her diagnosis for what happened to her knee: “well, I SCRAPED my knee from when I was PLAYING out-SIDE!”
