Begging for Bananas!

Cameron's philosophically scientific theory on gender formation:

When the mom eats lots of bananas she will have a boy because banana starts with B. If she eats lots of grapes she will have a girl because grapes and girl start with G.

He then followed this discovery with a little practical application:

Mom, next time you're pregnant, eat lots of bananas!

Reagan's Two!

Happy Birthday Reagan! Okay, so it was a month ago, but still a happy one none the less. This photo is not an optical illusion. We have a local pizza place that makes extra, extra large pizza, so we decided to celebrate big for our big girl, and the crowd of family that joined us! I think it is almost as wide as she is tall.
On to the presents. Check out the looks on Michael and Sydney's faces! We can hardly contain our excitement. Okay, I won't keep you in suspense. . . it was a puzzle.
By the looks of her surroundings, I'd say she had a pretty good day. By the looks of her smile, I'd say she wants to share some Three Musketeers with you. We love our Reagan and all the joy she brings. She is such a happy, entertaining girl and does such a good job keeping up, and sometimes putting up, with her big siblings. Here's to two!

Halloween!

Trick or Treat! Thank you! Here's our gang. We've got a fifties girl, a kitty, a cowgirl, a Musketeer (specifically Mickey Musketeer but I didn't want to add the ears, much to Cam's disappointment), and a bunny. And the Olsingch cousins, witch, kitty and Squirt, who usually remained headless because he just didn't like the hood, or maybe we should just call it "laid back!"


We started the evening with a Spooky dinner--Witches Brew Stew, Spider rolls, cat eyes (grapes), buggy ice cubes and such. Yum!


And my contribution, Footloaf!


My oldest and my youngest, which makes over a decade of celebrating Halloween with kids! Sure is fun!


And a knod to the 2008 World Series Champions! The Philadelphia Phillies have been Roy's favorite team since he was just a little guy. People always ask him why, seeing as he's not from Philly, or anywhere near there, and they had only been the Champs once before in 1980. I think it had to do with a favorite player, a little league team and a great season, if you really need an answer. Yeah Phillies!

My one-year-old's last words!

Reagan turned two today! Her vocabulary has been expanding rapidly lately. So what were her last words as a one year old you may be wondering? Just the other day she came in the kitchen and said, "I wanna quesadilla" (although with much less anunciation) Wow, my baby is bilingual!
