something smells stinky!
I blame her because everyone knows the first one who smelt it dealt it....am i right?
and I have also never met something so little that can generate so much poop.
I am currently in the process of teaching her how to point.
That way, when we are out in public she can point at her Daddy whilst making that face.
Rolling this much sushi also turns me a little crazy. We are all lucky that Sam made it out of this night alive. What a trooper he is.
We had to bring a few friends in to help us eat this all.
Sarah and Dave we wish you could have come. We missed you guys.
The two pluses!
almost as much as she loves sticking out her tongue.
It doesn't even matter that 90% of her water ends up on the front of her shirt.
Her fat little hands and cheeks are the best.
It was nice to catch up since we don't get to see each other as often as we would like. The weekend was busy with new nephews to visit, but we did find time for some Magleby's breakfast with the Nasmans and some Belgian waffles with the Allers. When the old crew gets together its seems like high school was just yesterday...well maybe not yesterday.
Everyone was pretty excited when the camera came out that early in the morning.
I'm sure they will be equally excited when they see their pictures on the blog!
You are probably looking at this gourmet feast and thinking how amazing our wives are.
And you are right...they are amazing, but on this particular MLK day the husbands were the ones who braved the early hours of the morning to make the food.
Yeah, maybe reheating pre-cooked sausages and putting batter on a waffle iron that beeps to tell you when to flip it isn't rocket science...
...but keeping the wives happy by letting them sit an relax sure is.
We are just glad that our children can now grow up in a country of complete racial and social equality.
It wasn't her form that was the problem.
Nor was it a matter of flexibility.
In the end I believe it was her head-to-bicep ratio that did her in.
Gymnast dreams were crushed...
...and she will undoubtedly be crying herself to sleep on her huge pillow tonight.
There to lead the cheering squad was Bailey, no one had the heart to tell her that pastries have not yet made it on her menu.
Comic relief and quality control via frequent taste testing was provided by Wade.
After the hard work in the kitchen it was time to relax a little.
Wade, who also loves a good book, was more than happy to help Baily peruse her options and make a selection. 
Thanks to Grandma Pam Bailey, though still very young, has already accumulated a sizable collection of Berenstain Bear and Little Critter books.
Thanks for your help guys!
We were missing a few girls, but it was a great start to hopefully a monthly tradition so we can keep in touch now that we have all moved on from the restaurant business.
and I am pretty much in love with all of them.
She is so talented.
And Bails was having a good ole time striking pose after pose.
Everything from Makell's house, her artistic eye, drawings, photography, design ideas....you name it and it is amazing.

Love this big smile!
Thank you so much for the pictures Makell. You are the best. Love ya.
