More Transformers... ?!!

Sometimes having a little boy is just about the same thing as BEING a little boy. Today, Trevor and I emptied our piggy banks of nickles dimes and pennies and went to Toys R Us to buy Transformers. I'm not sure which of us had more fun. In case you're wondering, that's Megatron on my face, and Trevor is trying to eat Jolt.

Cybertronian Soundwave!

Operation: Playtime.

Trevor is excited because this run of Transformers toys is modeled on the game War For Cybertron, which is awesome.

Newest family member... Pepper!

Beth and Trevor found this dog wandering down the street. We put up ads, posted on websites, and nobody claimed him. He found his way into our hearts, and we decided to keep him. Pepper is an 8.5 pound Chihuahua/Min Pin mutt. Good with the kids. Only occasionally wets the carpet. Since Beth pinky-promised Lauren we could have a dog by the time Lauren was 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10, I guess she's off the hook.

Funniest First Dive EVER

Uploaded by popular demand, the video that gets funnier each and every time you watch it, Lauren's first dive at swim class. Ridiculously epic.

And, just needed to add a few more. You'd never guess that before the camera starting clicking away, Trevor was a weeping, crying, screaming mess because he didn't want to wear his tie. Love these kids.

an actual post!

Ok, so it's been a while. But, hopefully, evidence of an adorable spring photo shoot will assuage your feelings of being neglected.
