Happiest Valentines Day..

So today, in preparation for the big V-day, we wanted to make sugar cookies, but I remembered I lent our Cream of Tarter to the neighbor, and had forgotten to get it back. Oh well. So we made cupcakes today. I forgot how HAPPY pink icing makes me. I usually don’t love frosting things, but I enjoyed frosting these cuppy-cakes just because of the pink cherry frosting. (I think we need to get more pink things in our house..hmmmm…) Of course, the boys ate all the cute ones with the Candy Hearts on top, before I could take the picture, but that is okay, they’re still pink. And Deilcious.
Hope your V day is as pink and Delicious as our cupcakes are…
Love you all!

The Princess Cat…

No, not the princess pat, who lived in a tree, the princess Cat.
When Truman found out that Cat was coming down on her birthday, he insisted on making this beautiful Crown, with the words princess cat on it and his Aunt Cathrine was kind enough to wear it, the entire evening. What a nice aunt…

Truman made her a cake, and Tucker frosted it, by himself…(looks delicious, uh?)

We went to dinner with Mom, Dad and Cat, ate delicious pizza, and talked, and talked. Toph even got to talk some politics, which he loves, and I don’t think I do often enough as I should. I know he likes to talk about it.
It was so fun to Mom and Dad here too! Our house feels complete and warm with them here.

We are glad we got to spend your birthday with you Cat! WE LOVE YOU!!

The kids had a grand time, turning off the lights and being silly. We are lucky to have such good, fun cousins.
The wrestling match ups were Tuck vs. Ike and Belle vs. Tru.

I know it looks like Ikey is crying in the previous picture, but rest assured, he was just laughing, here is the next picture that was taken (Don’t you love that smile?):

Smartest Hubba Ever…

topherhubba.jpg
So my sweetheart, is one smart cookie, with that smart noggin of his, he came up with a solution to my picture hording computer problem…
But first, last week I spent hours on the phone with a nice gentleman named William, from apple, who tried and failed to fix my computer dilemma, but failed miserably, informing me that the people who ‘helped’ me before, acutally didn’t help me at all, but in fact made at least 9 copies of every picture that I have in my I photo library. (which by the way is in the upper 25,000ish, so that times 9 is WHAT?!?!?!).
After the time I spent on the phone with him, Toph and I decided that we have a few options.
1-buying and installing a new version on Iphoto, Cost 100 dollarsish.
2-Buying a new computer (which we have been saving up to do anyways) Cost, a few thousand dollarsish
3-do nothing about it, and store all of my pictures on my digital camera. cost freeish, but yet, my inner soul asks for order this last option, is not really an option, I take WAY too many pictures for that one to really work!!!
So far, this last option is all we got, so I am uploading my pics to Tophs computer for now (a temporary fix)…. and for now I can re-join the Blog-o-sphere. Hurray!
Thanks Hubs!!!

Apparently

My computer and I are in a fight again…
(I wish it would tell me when it was getting angry, or frustrated. So I could be prepared. I never have any clues.)
Withholding cherished items (like pictures) and not accepting anything (like new pictures–) is a bad in any relationship…
Especially your relationship with your computer.
Until we can make up (again), it will be awhile till the next post.
Lets hope we can get it resolved without too much time on the phone with apple support. Last time it took me HOURS!!!

Dear Grams

Dear Grams,

The Baby Pumpkins (Tiger and Lion)

and I are so excited about the blanket you are making for them. We have not stopped talking about it since you told us you were making one. I have wanted to call you like 10 times today, and would have if my mom would’ve let me, but she said you would call me when you were done. Did I mention that I am excited?
I wanted to make sure that my pumpkins were ready to sleep with me, so I spend the afternoon today making pillows for them.

They love them, and now all they need is the blanket, ’cause I am really excited!!!!

We love you and thanks again,
