the baby fix

...because everyone can use some cuteness in their lives, and Maiah is positively adorable.I love her in her brothers' hand-me-down blue clothes with those big blue eyes of hers. Besides, she's so beautiful she doesn't need girly frills. :) (Of course, what I really need to do is find her some pretty blue baby girl clothes. :p)This entry is dedicated to aunt Lauren who wanted her Maiah fix.
Love, April :)

Maiah

Maiah's 11 weeks old today! Oh how time flies. She's been sick & slept most of the day away so I didn't get any pictures. :(Here's one of her announcements to celebrate instead. I do need to get my camera out though. I've been totally slacking lately.

Broken?!

Hey, I have a question! I have a private photo blog & subscribed, invited people have been unable to post even though the permissions are set so that anyone can post - just like I've always had it here. So, the question is... can you comment on this blog entry? If not, then I guess something's up with blogger comments. I know I can comment on my own stuff, but where's the fun in that. :p

my dad would not approve

...I sincerely hope my dad doesn't watch American Idol. He'd have gone into shock seeing Adam Lambert's rendition of Ring of Fire on country music week this past week. I hadn't liked him so much throughout the competition, but have to admit I totally noticed him this week. He got points for sheer guts & blatant disregard of the country music genre. I liked Kara's shocked response. “It was strange... it left me confused but sort of happy.” lol So awesome. Just don't click on this video if you're of my dad's generation, are a classic country music lover, or don't want to experience the strangeness of this performance. Kirsten is a huge fan of his.

I just thought it was a must-see, though he actually kinda sounded good. Sort of. I think I kind of like it. lol

Happy Friday!

happy, sickies, chunky... yeah

I've always loved Kirsten's thick beautiful hair.
~But my fine hair is so soft.
I used to think I had more fun as a blonde.
~But I have come to love my personal shade of brown.
Sometimes wish I were younger.
~But there's really not a moment's worth of experience I'd give up to do so.
I do wish my skin was perfect.
~But I'd never have perfected my photoshop skills if it was. lol
I'd love to have longer eyelashes.
~But that's what mascara's for.
And I wish I were a few pounds lighter.
~I have plenty of control over that. I'm just a slacker so far since having Maiah. :p

Really, I am pretty happy just being me. :)Now to see if I can make all these sick kiddos happy. :p Kirsten & LV are both home sick today, and Elijah's still coughing, fighting fevers & dealing with his ear infection. My poor babes. :(

Here's some Moto Moto just for my kiddos. lol We love this movie, and this song is awesomeness. :)
The first one is the whole chunky song, the second one is just the scenes from the movie with the chunky & she loves me songs. lol Makes me wanna watch the movie. :)

/hugs to my blog-reading friends. Hope you all have a great day!
