A princess discovers a love of shoes, an old friend is found, and great times!

Dahma Llama love after church.

I love the look of adoration Principessa his giving to Anakin Luke. And you get a glimpse of her new tooffies!


Yummy Plummy!!


I just love the joy on his face here. He loves climbing, my little monkey boy!



Anakin Luke was so thrilled to find his beloved ninja hoodie. It had been hiding under his bed for awhile. I don't think he took it off for 2 1/2 days. Even after bath or swimming he put it right back on. Mommy finally had to pry it away for a quick washing. Who would ever think that a dollar store costume made of papery stuff would hold up with 2 boy's obsessive wear and tear?










Legoboy keeps improving his times each week at his swim meets. His freestyle time is now at 50.06 seconds and backstoke is 1:51. We are so proud of the progress he has made each week and of all of his hard work in the pool each morning. And Mommy is loving how white blonde his hair is getting!! Grandpa was here this week to cheer him on too!

Aunt Once Again


Tatertot Kubitski made his highly anticipated appearance on Monday, June 29, 2009 at 3:41 p.m. He actually is no bigger than a tater tot weighing in at a tiny 5 lbs. 15 oz. and 19 3/4 inches long. He is no bigger than a second and sweet as the day is long.



Anakin Luke is thrilled to have a new cousin.



Legoman and his newest cousin, Tatertot.




Seems like mere minutes ago we were taking pictures like this of the boys with their baby sister.


Now look at her!See what a difference a short 7 months can make? Principessa doesn't seem too happy to be sharing in the limelight does she?

Gigi, Tyty, and their new brother Tatertot.


Life is too short not to wear tutus and other random Principessa cuteness

The Princess on, or more accurately in, her throne.

Bumble Bee.
When I saw this picture it reminded me of a picture of myself as a baby on my Nanny's gold couch. If I ever find it I'll scan it and compare them side by side.

Principessa's first outdoor swing ride. If the swing moved more than a 1 foot arch she was scared to death. It does not look like she will be enjoying many roller coaster rides in her future.




After church cuteness in our lamby pie dress





Principessa is a natural on the balance beam.

Anakin Luke At The Little Gym





























Anakin Luke has been attending The Little Gym since his first birthday. He has loved every second of it. He is a master Donkey Kicker, Monkey Jumper, and Cheese Roller! He is a daredevil who loves to hang upside down and jump from the high bar. These pics are from what was probably his last Little Gym Show.










Legoboy at his first swim meet. He swam freestyle and backstroke. He was so excited and nervous, as were we. He won his heat in the freestyle, 1 min 14 sec and only hanging on the side 3 times!! He came in 5th out of 6 in the backstroke, taking a bit over 3 minutes to finish. Everyone was cheering the last two swimmers on as they swam their hardest. Legoboy was pretty much vertical the entire swim, but he never gave up. I am so proud of my swimming boy!

My first ever blog post

I am excited and nervous to actually begin a blog. I want this to be a place to share memories, thoughts, and other things with family and a few friends. I am horrible at journals and scrapbooks, but figure I usually have a few minutes each day while nursing our beautiful daughter to spend documenting our days. Wish me luck!
