Child Labor Laws

In some cultures it is beneficial to have an abundance of children. Where there are no social security plans or retirement funds, children, with their ability to work, take care of their aged parents. Rylie thinks that's what her lot in life is. She put on Jay's Dish Network shirt and was walking towards the front door. Rylie, we have child labor laws. Go play.

He thinks he's cute

He unabashedly posed for this picture and said "that's cute!"

My Polar Bear!

When Tristan was really little, like only a few months old my Dad bought him an Angels teddy bear at Spring Training. Ever since then there are 2 things Tristan must have before he goes to bed or nap. One would be his silky blanket, and the other.. his Polar Bear. Why he calls it that I have no idea, since it is clearly not a "Polar" bear, but it is so cute. I have noticed lately that Tristan has personified this little bear. He will throw him off the bed, and then run over and say "Oh no, Polar Bear! Are you ok?!?"

Here is a picture from when Tristan first got the bear, and what the poor thing looks like now. Dad, this one's for you!

For Good Measure

Just because her hair is so pretty and straight! And YES, I do flat iron it. Are you kidding me, it looks awful if I don't!

I just couldn't handle it!

Tristan is supposed to be growing out his hair for a wedding he is in in May. I think it would be super cute if it was long, but reality set in and I just couldn't handle it anymore. His "Before"
Hair is on the right. This was yesterday. I cut his hair this morning, hence the photo on the left. Stacia told me all along that I would never make it and as much as I wanted to prove her wrong I just couldn't do it! Sorry, kids.. short hair it is.
