Why is your house so clean? Or, why is my house so dirty? I am so impressed with that sparkly clean bathroom picture.

Margo and Nora are good alarmists too. I often hear "Choking hazard!!!!" And they don't stop yelling until I come to find the offending object. Granted, they'll run her over to get through the door...but that child will never choke.

So many restrictions! Poor baby B!

What a great story, Lisa! I seem to remember celebrating Lisa's birthday a few months ago with cupcakes with purple icing. She must be the reverse of a leap day baby. Instead of one birthday every four years, she has four birthdays every year. She's got one "sweet" deal going. No wonder she comes to visit so often.

Wow!!! Sounds like another amazing birthday party. You could make a fortune as a party planner but I'm afraid that might take all the joy out of the whole experience. What a gorgeous "official teenager" K has turned into!

I agree - he's definitely all boy and kissing is gross when you're seven. But tell him I have a better suggestion for his chore gun. He should program it so his siblings do HIS chores, along with their own. :-) Do you remember the elf game from when you were little?

Why do you make your kids watch so many kissing movies? What kind of household are you running?

I love this post!!!! You are so amazing for writing all this down! No one would believe except for someone who has lived it. I agree that if your past self (read: me who is not there yet) got dropped in your now life she would have a nervous breakdown! It's exhausting just to read about your day.

I really miss the way Christmas was when you and your brothers were little. Some of your traditions sound familiar and some are wonderfully new and original. I guess I would have to say that mostly I miss the excitement that's in the air at Christmas time when there are little ones around. No more visits to Santa! No more special treats for the jolly old man! No more stockings stuffed with

Definitely want to see this place if I'm near LA in the future. Looks fascinating!

2011-12-13T14:12:06.607-08:00

Will you please come and host all my children's birthday parties? I just try to find the cheapest place I can rent--let alone dream up great themes with awesome cakes, favors, games, etc.

And, I, too, am all about the frosting. Always.

Can't wait to see her again! She sounds like an adorable little bundle of energy.

Awesome costumes and photos, as usual! Looks like K has grown about a foot since I last saw her. Give them each a hug and kiss from Grammy.

So funny! Give my love to Grape, Lemon, Apple, Banana and Cherry. And Strawberry and Raspberry too, of course. It all sounds pretty fruity to me.

E always brings a shovel. Always. We should go together, then we would have 2 shovels.

Reminds me of her Mom at this age. You kept saying, "Mommy, I'm boring" until I signed you up for preschool. You loved it too.

2011-09-29T08:47:58.710-07:00

You're definitely a mother who thinks outside the box. Most use up lots of energy keeping their kids out of the mud. Aunt Susan would be proud.

2011-09-12T20:49:54.453-07:00

I loved this post! I can not tell you how familiar this sounds! Same amount of kids and whining I am sure! Looks like it turned out great! LOVE the pictures too. What a beautiful place. Reminds me of the Uintah mountains I spent so much of my childhood hiking in.

2011-09-07T08:56:46.279-07:00

If I remember right, one of your family rules is "Never give up." You created a beautiful family memory by following that rule, even though a couple of your little ones haven't quite mastered rule #1, "Don't panic." That one takes a little more time. How different your day would have turned out if you had asked for directions and immediately found the hot springs! You

A first place ribbon! Congrats to your little (well, not so little any more, I guess) swimmer! Nice water/action shots, too!

Can't wait until I can share my vacation paradise with my daughter and her family again. Missed you this summer!

Sounds like your kiddos are going to have a fun and busy year at school. Tell S "congratulations" on making the volleyball team. I wish I could ship her some of our cool weather. And K earning eight bucks an hour at the age of 12!!! Tell her I was thrilled to be earning $2.50 an hour when I was pregnant with her Mom. I'll be anxious to hear more about their school year.
