Kell's Wedding Bells

My gal pal Kelley is getting married TODAY! Congrats to Kell and Michael-can't wait to see you in your beautiful dress! You are a wonderful friend and I love that I make you laugh...

That's a First

Pea's first movie in a theater-she did really very well! Thank goodness for the massive tub of popcorn Andrea scored before the show. It was a hit and so

was Horton Hears A Who!

Double Date!

No we didn't go on a traditional double date last Saturday. We went on a Tyler and Chelsea double date which means we went to two restaurants back to back. Why? Because we could-S-A-T-U-R-D-A-Y NIGHT. Shout out to Cheri and Paul for watching Pea!

We went to dinner at Boom Noodle and then on to beer samplers at the Tap House! mmm mm. We also got frozen ice cream, but that's neither here nor there...

Thank goodness for a little couple time!

Poopy Princesses

Dear Pearson,

Please DO NOT get out of your bed OR for the love of all that is holy take off your diaper during nap time again. Thank you.

Love,

Mommy

Umm...sparing all you readers out there the gory photos (don't worry I didn't take any) of the insane mess I had to clean up the other day, but sufficed to say this is what occurred:

Pea went down for her nap at 1-she was still sleeping at 3:30 so I go into her room to get her up. I open the door and already my nose alerts me to a major catastrophe. Pea sits right up when I turn the light on and has poop from one side of her face smeared INTO her hair. Yes. Her. Hair. I spring into action like a super hero-grab my baby and rush her to the tub while glancing at the crib she has just been pulled from. Poo on the crib slats, wall, blankets, and her beloved princesses (see picture of princesses below). OMG.

I scrub her, Cloroxed the princesses to within an inch of their life, and generally de-sanitize every surface near said contamination.

P.S. I apologize to future lovely adult Pearson who will read this and think her mom is ignoring basic standards of privacy slash decency to tell this heroic tale...

Golden Boy

Golden for the following reasons:

1. Gold colored hair (RIP shaggy curls; you are no more).

2. Gold star athlete!

3. You are the only boy in our family-need I say more, I think not.

4. Golden because you have 9 lives.

And last, but certainly not least:

5. Today is your GOLDEN BIRTHDAY!!!! 23 on the 23rd...

We love you, Chase! Happy Birthday!

Don't Rain on My Parade

The Lang Grangirls were asked to be in the 50th annual Des Moines Parade with Grandma and Papa on Saturday night. I was MIA, but Ty took Pea and they all got to ride in Papa's 53 Chevy Truck, below are some cute pics!
