HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY, Baby Girl. I am pretty sure that you have no idea how FABULOUS you are. You amaze me and I am so glad you are mine. (mmmmwwwwaaaaa this is me giving you a great big smoochy kiss right on your forehead)

I love you.

To My Son

Son, yesterday you announced you are now a vegetarian, because, you know, it's just not fair to the cows. You proclaimed you can live on Ramen noodles, nachos, and squash, and I have no doubt you can.

But dear little man, I have something I must tell you. I think its important that you know....your family...grandparents, great grandparents, parents....you were born to cattle ranchers. Generations of them.

Just thought you should know...now I'll go slice some squash.

My Straight A Students

One of three 6th graders with straight A's, and the ONLY 3rd grader!!!!

She's Going to Snap

Dillon has a new "game". To amuse himself (and OK I do kind of find it funny), he has started trying to scare his sister. I don't mean just once in awhile, I mean several times a day he will hide behind a door, a cabinet, in a closet, and jump out at her. Its gotten to the point where she won't walk into a room without peeking around corners. My days now sound like this:

D: AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHH
M: (very shrill) AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH (pause) DILLON!!!!!
D: (mad giggles)
M: YOU BETTER RUN
D: Help, she's killing me......

I am not sure who is going to have the nervous breakdown first, me or her.

Like Father Like Son

Me: Dillon, you are sooo handsome. Little girls are just going to be following you everywhere.
Dillon: It ain't easy being me.
