downward - facing dog? bonnie blair?

not really sure where sulley learned this because neither greg nor i are yoga people. just another one of her funny quirks. sulley also loves to squat and throw her arms behind her - ie speed skater style. bt colton and sulley and their flexibility and literal monkey business, i swear we have olympians on our hands.

Goodbye Summer, Hello Fall

We just got home from one last vacation of the summer - a week at Nags Head! We had so much fun - great weather, fantastic food, wonderful company, and most importantly - the kids did fantastic. 6.5 kids all under the age of 2 (and the 'half' a kid = jud and ing's #2 due soon).

We tried to snap some fun pics but as you know, it's not so easy to get everyone to sit still!

We had a little added bonus at the end of our trip - On the way home, greg and i and kids stopped in Va Beach to visit with friends Kari and Ron. It was nice to be able to catch up and also celebrate Price's 1st birthday!!

The Easley Family

It's officially time to pack away the lilly dresses, swim suits, and sandals!

Goodbye summer, hello fall!

The Latest Fall Fashion Accessory

In case you haven't heard, the latest fall fashion accessory seen recently at the NY Fashion week, is FOOD ON YOUR HEAD. leave it to sulley to show us how to glam up a basic, comfortable, look for fall. White t-shirts adorned with food, snotty noses, minimal makeup, and whispy/carefree hair, all compliment this new style in hair adornment.

Peek a boo

first day of Mother's Day Out

I signed Colton and Sulley up for a Mother's Day Out Program at a local church. it's only one day a week for 3 hours but it's better than nothing. it's set up sorta like a co-op so i'll be 'working' 3x a year -- not bad. any who's, our first day was this past thursday and i of course had to work. we tried to snap a few pics before heading over to 'school' but it didnt work so well. hopefully, in five years when we're trying to do this before kindergarten, we'll get some better shots; but for now, colton and sulley could have cared less.

Sulley and her school bag

wow, what a great shot.

colton and sulley moonlight on the side as foot models for stride rite. check out their new shoes in the pics above!

reaching new heights

It's a constant struggle to move these monkeys off the couch, chairs and the table. As you can see, Sulley enjoys watching the television while standing on the couch.

Yo Gabba Gabba is much more fun to watch from this angle!

Everything got suddenly quiet...I guess Sulley decided she just wanted to chill!

The story of our Week

Colton was playing with my phone before bed and he sneezed...That's right, that is a huge booger on Dad's phone in the upper right corner. Just wanted to share.
