Eight is great!

birthday portraits children's photography iowa

To see the full-sized image, you have to click twice. The first opens up a small version alone, the second time opens it to web size. I’m hoping to change that, but haven’t figured out how yet ( the blog designer’s blog, it’s like the cobbler’s children).

Happy birthday, Picasso. Hope eight really is [...]

Happy birthday cha cha cha.

Thumbnail image for Happy birthday cha cha cha.

Look at those adorable little Chiclet teeth!
It’s amazing how much a little face can change in about a year. Picasso was the first of the boybarians to lose teeth, and he already looks so grown up compared to this picture in the snow.
Today my second born, my peace-loving, shy-until-you-get-to-know-him, comedian of the family, middle [...]

Hey, guess what? It’s my cousin Amy’s birthday today. So, I am… *ahem* hijacked her blog. Tee hee. Go stop by and see what I had up my sleeve. Happy birthday, Amy!
And then, I randomly went to random.org so I could pick a random winner. Randomly.

The winner is:

Tina at [...]

Come closer and I’ll tell you.
Not only is it Friday Fix-it day over at I ♥ Faces… but…

*sqquuueeee* Doesn’t he look like such a baby-face? Oh my goodness. This was HandyMan and me taken waayyyy back in 1999 – I can hardly believe it’s been that long. But… 10 [...]

Blog-O Lame-O

September 24, 2008

Ha! I crack me up. But, yes, I know that Life With My 3 Boybarians has turned into Blog-O Lame-O. I wonder if that URL has been taken yet?
We’ve been busy. Like swamped.
There is light at the end of my tunnel, or so I hope.
On the last day of [...]

The One That I Bore You With a Million Hot Air Balloon Pics

July 27, 2008

Sorry. It can’t be helped. Handy Man took nearly 900 pictures of the gorgeous skies at Indianola’s National Hot Air Balloon Classic. If you’re anywhere in the midwest, mark your calendars for ‘09. This one is worth the drive. We go every year as part of Handy Man’s birthday celebrations. [...]

He’s Done It Again

May 27, 2008

I tell ya’ what. Every day I look straight into the eyes of my oldest child and implore him to stop.
“Stop growing, child!” I tell him.
He mostly laughs at me.
Today, he did it again. He turned eight. Eight! How can my boy be 8? I tried to take [...]

Some 5th Birthday Moments

May 10, 2008

Don’t you wish you could freeze time, just for a little while and keep them all just as they are? With each passing milestone, each passing month, each passing moment… I just want to bottle them up and keep them little and timeless. Instead I just click, click, click and try and capture [...]

Celebrating Picasso

September 20, 2007

Six years ago, our nation was still reeling. Images of lost Americans, plane hijackers, airport security images, speculations of conspiracy… and lots and lots of raw emotion flooded the TV, radio, newspaper and internet.
The world wondered how such a thing could happen? Americans felt a new kind of familiarity to terror and loss [...]

Cat’s Out of the Bag

September 6, 2007

Thanks to a certain “anonymous” commenter (who happens to love me!), the beans are spilled. Today was my birthday.
We spent the day doing things we usually don’t. The boybarians, who don’t have TV privileges during the week, turned into TV zombies gobbling up as much Cyberchase and Star Wars as possible. I [...]

To Handy Man on His Birthday

July 30, 2007

Handy Man was born on this day in 1971. Poor boy was the only brother smack dab in the middle of 4 sisters. I love when he tells the bathroom stories from his childhood – 7 people, 5 girls, 1 bathroom. Suffice to say he peed outside a lot.
Baby Handy Man, circa [...]

Whole Lotta’ Lot of Two-Year-Olds

July 30, 2007

That’s how many two-year olds were at my house this weekend – a whole lotta’ lot. After 5 or 6, it all starts to get loud, fuzzy and a LOT of fun.
It’s Handy Man’s birthday tomorrow. The old man will be 36. 36! Feels strange because when I met [...]
