The Blogging Hall of Shame

We can all hope for better in our next lives. My kids will have a better mother, my parents will have a better daughter, the people around me will have a better friend, my loving husband will have a better wife, and I will be a better blogger. One who posts pictures periodically instead of all at once. One who posts them in chronological order instead of as one huge hodge podge. One who can write daily about how glorious it is to be a mother of young children. Unfortunately, in this life, we're all stuck with me.

Since there's so dang many, I posted these as small pictures. They will enlarge if you click on them...

The sassiest golfer on the course

My mother's day treat:

I have MANY pictures where Elise is looking up at her brother like this. I don't post them all because I'm lame.

Jerod found this recipe in a cook book and was determined to make them for Mother's Day. I was banned from the kitchen. It was awesome.

A dad and Elise date to see Thomas the Tank:

Just a random one:

Easter Egg Hunt. Chris took the kids and left me home alone... he scored some major points for that one.

A whole lotta eggs

The Jayhawks come to Minne!

A trip to the children's museum:

My kids snuggling up to Satan, uh, I mean Ronald McDonald

They could've played in the turtle shell for hours. I'm a mean mom, so I wouldn't let them.

The end. I shall try to do better and post more often.
