Not the Baptism yet

Ok so the baptism files are still saving so we are going to post some fabulous pics of Allyson decorating her Birthday cake from September the 18th. I helped... just a little :)

I'm sorry.... So Sorry!

So there's lots to blog about I've just been in stress out mode and I think my brain has begun to shut down which is not good because tonight is Ally's birthday with all her school friends and 11 days from now is Phoebe's 1st Birthday (it doesn't help that all the other mother's with babies turning 1 right now are asking what we're doing for her party:])and 10 days after that will be Livvy's birthday/party. And then there's a couple dental and doctor visit's thrown in here and there for good measure. And I'm not feeling the greatest... I guess that's to bad for me cause it's gonna be like this every year. What was I thinking? (said in that whiny voice we all know) So back up and here are some baptism pictures will you all quit griping know Geez! :)

I'm trying to paint

Well all I still don't know which picture I'm going to get printed (probably several:) ) but I do know I love this picture and I'm going to paint it! Crazy huh! I'll try to take a picture of it when I'm done but who knows when I'll even get a chance to start it:) I'll probably paint it in all creams and tans and such... I think. Again we'll have to see what happens :) but here goes:)
Oh by the way this is a sketch that will be projected onto the canvas so that I can just trace it out and then I'll try to paint in what I want :) It's not really cheating. As my artist friend says's it's whatever gets the job done :)

Breaking in Dad :)

So Last night Alex got home and I finished making everyone dinner and about 6:30 I went to work and about 8:00 Alex (knowing that my schedule is somewhat flexible) called me and frantically started begging me to come home soon that NOW would be a good time... (hehehe) apparently Layna had started throwing up and at the same time Phoebe... well let's just say she needed a diaper change... Badly! (HAHAHA) well by the time I got home(after finishing up and hurrying out) about 8:30 Layna was still in the tub, the kitchen smelled like bleach, and Phoebe was naked.. she got a bath too as while cleaning up Layna Alex asked Ally and Livvy to watch her and that didn't work out so good.... she crawled through Layna's mess (nasty), and so while I felt bad for Alex he handled things pretty well and I helped everyone into bed helped finish the clean up and got a good laugh in my head to see Alex so exhausted. He did great :) Aside from the momentary panic... but who hasn't done that :)

Sherry's pictures are here!

But where in the world
Is there in the world
A couple so *extraordinaire*?
C'est moi! C'est moi, I'm forced to admit.
'Tis I, I humbly reply... uh, us I humbly reply :)
those mortals who
These marvels can do,
C'est moi, c'est moi, 'tis I... us
C'est moi! C'est, Yeah, yeah, yeah we know :)
So, anyway, I'm looking for opinions on what you like or don't like... I want to blow one up to maybe a 16x20 or so. I want a good romantic picture for our room. :) So I'm kind of curious if you just really don't like something, or if you do.
Yeah, opinions... I know atleast a few of you have them.

A standing ovation for Phoebe

Here's a fuzzy video of Phoebe standing and laughing. She took a couple stumbling steps to Daddy the other day... exciting stuff at the house of Sperry.

I LOVE DONUTS!

So last night we stayed up till 11:00 making donuts with friends! It was great, but really what's not to love about a night filled with homemade pastries covered in chocolate! That's my friend Olivia helping to make the donuts. And of course Layna and Phoebe loved them, so did I, oh yeah, and everyone else! :)
