Birthday Party


My cousin's little girl, Kendall, had a birthday party. Alex was so excited to go. That is all I heard for two days was "me go Kendall's birfday potty". Alex was so funny, she had to help Kendall open the present we got her. It was so sweet. And at one point Alex had her hands on Kendall's cheeks, mamarazzi missed that Kod*ak moment. Here are a few cute shots of Alex "helping". (I love the koolaid mustache)
My aunt made individual cakes for the kids and we sang happy birthday to them and they got to blow out a candle. She didn't want them to feel left out. I love this picture with the party hats. Alex wouldn't wears hers until everyone had put theirs on.
Kendall, the birthday cutie. Every one year old needs a dirty face cake eating picture.

This is funny.


Alex and I were at Kohl's the other day. I was pushing her around in the stroller and all of a sudden she says "Hi Daddy". Well-- I knew Todd was home sleeping so I started looking around. I looked at her and she was pointing to the picture up on the wall. I said to her " Is that your Daddy?" and she says Yes. I just started laughing. They do kind of look alike and the coloring is spot on. It was so funny. I just had to share.

RIP Spencer





Today is a hard day for all of us, we had to put our family dog down tonight, without a doubt the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I know in my heart that it was the right thing, but that surely didn't ease the pain. He would have been 14 on the 15th of January. We love and miss him very much and he will live in our hearts forever

Adoption video has been shut down

Well I got a lovely letter from youtube yesterday letting me know that they have shut down my adoption video due to copywrite law violations for my use of Colour my world by Chicago in it. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying I was right by using it, but if I own the CD should I have the right to use the song in a family video as long as I am not profiting from the music? It's not like you could search youtube for the song and play it whenever you wanted, it was just part of a story. Oh well, if you got to see it I hope you enjoyed it, I guess it will now be a private family thing. Greedy people do things like this, I wish I could meet who ever did this, I would like them to give me a really good explanation for pulling my video, what was it the last song on the video? So you would have to listen to 2 or 3 (10 minutes)songs to get to it............................
