Goin' bananas!

Kurt decided that he wanted to make a banana pie for a church dinner tomorrow...and since I worked a hell of a lof of extra hours this week, I was sitting my butt on the couch relaxing when I saw this...

Cutest PJs...

Ever.

OMG

Whats worse than thunder storms for 2 days straight?

Thunder storms AND 100 degrees!!

This weather is hell. I really like the rain. I do. I always have. But this rain is insane. It doesn't cool things off at all. Not one degree. As soon as I wash my hair and dry it, I open the back door and it instantly frizzes up again. I looked in the mirror the other night and my hair was all frizzed out and I realized that I AM my mother. Which is not so bad, she is a fabulous mother...but she has some wild ass hair, and I guess mine has a mind of its own now too. Ugh.

Oscar and Lyla don't even want to be outside. Oscar LOVES the sun usually. He lays around in any sunny spot he can find like a cat. Not this week. Just does his business and RUNS back in.

On another note...we took the kiddos to the Rainforest Cafe this weekend. Although the service is usually bad and the food is overpriced, it was all worth it because they both said it was the "best day ever!"

While we were waiting for a table, the boys wanted to go up and down the escalator by themselves, so we waited at the bottom and watched them. I caught this picture of them as Caiden was watching these girls in front of him. He is starting to notice girls, but won't admit it.



Weiner Dogs on Wednesday

Every night for the last 3 months this dog jumps into my bed with this firehose squeaky thing and insists on playing tug o'war for a while before bed.

If only it were that easy...

ha ha ha ha

Congrats to an old friend!!!

Last weekend one of my oldest, and dearest friends got married in the Florida Keys. Kurt and I were very sad that we were unable to make it, but from the pictures I can tell that it was beautiful and TONS of fun!!! Just like Steph and Mary!!

I've known Stephan (aka "The German" or "The dirty German") since 11th grade. He had just moved to the states from Berlin with his mom. We were in American Civ class together and he was failing at the time because he was having a hard time with the language, adjusting to being here without friends and family, etc. We talked in class but that was about it.

German's step-dad happened to be a medic at one of the local volunteer rescue squads, and we ended up being in EMT class together and having a lot of the same friends from the firehouse. I actually dated one of his friends and we all hung out non-stop the whole summer before college. I've lost touch with most of the other friends I had back then, but the German and I have stayed in touch through it all. Here are some favorite Dirty German moments.

1. He showed up to my graduation party and asked for a beer. He then referred to his parents as "those  fuckers..." in front of my grandma.
2. Once I said something about cuddling. He replied "is that like sheep?" He thought I meant cattle, not cuddle.
3. On September 11th, 2011 we both walked out of school after the planes hit the twin towers to go to the firehouse. He convinced me that it was a good idea to drive my car over a railroad tie that separated parking spots. FAIL.
4. A long drive into the middle of nowhere to pick up his German Shepherd, K9 officer Max.
5. When he introduced me to his WIFE!! She is awesome and perfect for him. She is an incredible artist, athlete, chef and she makes me laugh!

Congrats to you both!! A lifetime of love, with the love of  your life!!!

Virginia bound in August....

And can't freakin' wait...
Even though the reason that I am going is not exactly happy, I am SO excited to see my family, my boys, and meet baby Avery!
