No, Talia isn't shrinking...We just hung out with the world's largest boy at Edventure.

















Fireman TaTa ready for action.



















And doing the weather...She's not even as tall as Charleston!

Super fly! No fear!





























Higher Nona! High tallll

Talia walked out of Nona's house and said "There's a talking chicken!" I immediately thought the red neck neighbors were either doing something weird or had rented a giant chicken for the kids to use. Nothing. Finally we heard the talking chicken...it was a squirrel fussing at Nona's cat. They are loud little creatures, and they do sound like a chicken!

Talia said, "I want a kiss." Isabella knew exactly what she wanted and puckered up. Earlier that evening at Grandma's house, Talia said "She's my baby..." Elias responded "She's MY baby." Talia said, "Can we share?" He agreed....

Mommy and Talia at the zoo.











Meer Cats!

Finally! And a couple of Coronas to celebrate!

Nona and Talia eat some watermelon!

How does Amanda do it?

Less than 2 hours with 3 kids...Disaster. I didn't eat. Nothing was cleaned up until MUCH later...

Notice the trail of dirty diapers and mayhem. It could be worse, but they were only here a short time...Imagine if I had 3 kids all the time! Yikes!

Oh, Isabella. Ain't she cute! Seems my niece has the same shoe passion as my daughter! Great. We need to purchase stock in Payless Shoes ASAP!

She looks so old! Talia is growing out her hair "for a ponytail," so what does she do when I FINALLY get a decent looking ponytail? Takes it out in less than 2 minutes.. (That's less than the time it took no-hairdo-making-skills mama to do it!

Tutu Love You

Daddy put Talia's ballerina outfit on....Cuteness!

View from a toddler...

Ever wonder what goes through a kid's mind....Talia's been playing with our old digital camera and taking some interesting shots...the world does look different at 3 feet!

Talia is growing her hair out to wear a ponytail..This is a test run...It lasted maybe 20 minutes.

Bikers for Jesus come to Camp WonderHands

Amber poses for the camp camera...
Don't I look like I was born to ride?
This guy came back and said "You...on the bike..." I had to comply! Obviously he didn't think my first guy drove fast enough to satisfy me...

LIttle Senterfeit Lovin'

Forrest, G'ma, Rogge, Talia and Sage...

All's fair in love and war...

Getting ready for the water balloon fight!

I feel pretty, oh so pretty...

Talia and her daddy have a little bonding time...Yes, that is a vaccum!

Childhood Home

Where did you grow up? What was your childhood home like? What was your neighborhood like?

Family Questions

Aunt Laura and I talked about this over a year ago, and I am finally getting around to doing it. We discussed collecting the memories and important stories of our family members while everyone is still around and has (semi!) good memories. I will try to remember to post a new questions or questions and then let the family know via email. Just click on "Comments" and leave your name and answer to my questions. Feel free to send the link to other people in our families.
