More Pirates…

The jmonsters spent some time practicing their pirate routine. We are pretty sure that Cap’in Jack Sparrow would approve.

The next Christmas…

Grandma and Pap-Pap stopped for a few days before heading over to their winter habitat in Myrtle Beach. Uncle Jim, Aunt Maureen, and the boys came over to help us celebrate. After the exchange Mom cooked a great dinner, and we all finished the Holidays with full bellies.
A few videos of opening gifts…

Manamana…

Ann Marie sent us this link, being Reilly and Liam’s favorite. The jmonsters were rolling on the floor after watching. We remember this when we were kids…

Redneck Gardening…

Now, some people may consider this “Redneck Gardening”, but we like to think of it as yardwork innovation with a Southern twist.

The jmonsters will be very excited about going down and helping Uncle Andy lay some sod. We are thinking that Tallmonster should bring his snowboard along so he can ride tandem.
Not really sure what to [...]

Coloring the Easter Eggs…

It’s that time of year again, although you wouldn’t know it with a high of 28 degrees and a dusting of snow on the ground. Weather be darned, it is time to color the Easter eggs. Mommy went all out this year, citing Grandma that eggs are cheap, so we colored up three dozen. Eggs [...]

Smallmonster’s Birthday No. 5…

Well the day finally arrived, Smallmonster turned five years old today. Most conversations have stopped ending in “wait… how many days until I’m five”. We tortured him for most of the day, making him wait until after dinner to open presents or have motorcycle cake. We did fill his room with balloons, so the morning [...]

Hopefully the weather will break soon, and we can spend our [...]

jmonsters dancing…

We pushed off celebrations until Friday, so we could have dinner and a movie night. The entrees for the evening included: homemade mac ‘n cheese – a jmonsters’ favorite, homemade chicken soup – without the chicken, we still aren’t really sure why other than Mommy didn’t want to waste boneless chicken in a soup, this [...]

Boxes and Trains…

The jmonsters got an old box from Uncle Jeff and had a ball out back rastling and playing army guys for a couple of hours. By far the most played with “toy” of the Christmas Season. Fancee Dancee even got sucked into the fray. She was having a tough time controlling herself long enough for [...]

Merry Christmas Everybody…

It’s here and the jmonsters are being bums, not up until a little after seven and having to have Mommy and Daddy wake them up. A little shameful, Tallmonster has an excuse for his middle of the night wanderings, but Smallmonster is typically up before seven am.
We did our usually torture techniques, of making the [...]
