We are all excited to have Ethan back after a month long road trip. It is a toss up as to who is more excited. Paige or John (the saint of a dad that took 2 fifteen-year-old boys on a road trip for a month.)

This looks so sweet….she smacked him in the face 4 seconds later!!!

They have been swimming all week. Paige giggles like crazy when E goes underwater and pops back up.

If only my fat rolls looked so freaking adorable in a bikini…

She is giving me some ideas that CPS would probably frown upon…

Then she figured out that she is 50% Reighley, and her giant head won’t fit.

Guess I need to get a bigger cage.

While I still can’t bring myself to pay $5.75 for a gift bag, there are some things that just do not belong at the Dollar Store.

I also learned today that when you use your debit card at the Dollar Store and get cash back, you get charged. $1.

Paige is obsessed with this guy right now.

It wouldn’t be so funny, except instead of calling it Dog, she screams at it. “GOD!!!” “GOD!” “GOD!” She’s either dislexic, or we need to have a serious theological discussion.

So, I googled Paige’s name today. Never really thought to search it before. Here’s what came up.

Paige has been a very naughty girl….Does this look like a face that would do such a thing?

I have been using Facebook in lieu of this blog for quite some time now, and I have decided that I hate FB.

While it is nice that I can reconnect with old friends, the downside is that I can reconnect with old “friends.”

So, I will be more religiously posting family photos and videos here instead. I figure, if you are interested, you will seek me out. If not, you weren’t my intended audience to begin with.

8.  I am actually capable of thinking the sentence, “It’s just a little pee. I can still sleep right here.”

7. Taking a trip to the grocery store requires enough gear that it can now be referred to as an expedition.

6.  You can lug around DD’s for 15 years only to discover that they are just for show….Seriously…I haven’t made eye contact with a non-relative male in over a decade and they don’t produce enough to feed an 8 pound baby?!!?

5. A person can genuinely look forward to Regis and Kelly. That’s when the ‘Same News Over and Over for 3 Hours’ show ends.

4. Listening to “Mary had a Little Lamb” on repeat for hours can actually be the lesser of two evils.

3. Using you feet works just as well as using your hands in a surprising majority of situations.

2.  The simple fact that I have an infant in my cart gives way too many people the impression that I have a burning desire to engage in conversation with them.

1.  People look at you funny when you are in public and ask your 2-month-old baby if her Pimp Hand is strong

If you dislike the name, you may call her by her nickname: 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679

If you got the joke, call your 7th grade math teacher and ask for extra credit.

For some unknown reason, people are required to share the following statistics after the birth of a child, so we will comply.

6lbs, 12oz    and   18 1/2 inches long.  Be impressed.
