bragging rights

I am really not one to brag {completely false, but thought I would sound polite} however, I do feel that I have earned the right to brag about these two gorgeous littles! I was scrolling through some pictures of my children and could not help myself from wanting to brag a bit about their cuteness! So, here goes...

{magazine worthy, yes?!}

{oh, so cute and sassy!}

{100% edible}

{sweet lil miss}

And that concludes my boasting for the day. Cute, right? I am not just saying this because I am their momma either, they are way more stunning in person. I once considered making babies just to sell because I thought maybe that was my "million dollar idea"...but I do not think I could ever give them up! I am pretty sure I could make some good money though.

weekend fun

We packed up the family and ventured on over to Pennsylvania for the weekend to visit our favorite people...Ashley & Brandon {Wilson & Stanley too!}

It was a much needed visit since we all have not had a chance to hang out like we used now that our once neighbors have moved across the state border. The girls got to catch up on some shopping, while the boys ever so reluctantly followed behind. Our lovely hostesses were also kind enough to share some of their new favorite spots with us...

The Duquesne Incline...an absolutely gorgeous sight!

the writing machine

Do I collect typewriters? No. But someone at work was just going to throw these away...that is not okay! You never know when my laptop may give out and I may have to resort to those typing skills that Ms. Kolesar tried so hard to teach to me back in junior high. Not to mention the Underwood on the right might look kind of cool displayed about my house somewhere!
