This silly dog actually LIKES to be in his kennel. Maybe its so a little girl doesn't try to steal his bone! But he's always curled up in here, with the door wide open, chewing on that rawhide.
Be on the lookout for this pig. Suspect is pink, furry, about 14 inches tall, and has button eyes sewed on by Mommy. He's most commonly seen hanging around a little princess and sleeping on a Barbie pillow! 

Special delivery for Mommy! Mommy asked for the phone so that she could text Daddy, and this little princess has been very keen to help out lately. Unfortunately, she seems to want to help at times when we need to be speedy. She wants to dress herself, feed herself, put her shoes on, unlock the car, buckle her car seat, and that just spells LATE to Mommy. 

Beth stayed home from school today, just in case she threw up again. But she didn't, and actually, after her shower, she felt just about normal....
Well, almost, anyway. We got Burger King for supper and the drive thru didn't give her the Whopper Jr. she'd ordered, and boy was she upset. 

Hannah has been wiggling these two front teeth for awhile now, waiting for them to fall out. She's having a hard time eating apples because it hurts her.
And today, at school, she lost one of them. The other one's not far behind...
And "all she'll want for Christmas is her two front teeth..." She hopes to have a visit from the ToothFairy tonight, but that darn fairy hasn't been very good at remembering that a kid just lost her tooth lately. 

I guess Bethany partied too hardy. No, really, she wasn't feeling well at all. She woke up just in time to throw up on her floor.
Mommy studied Microbiology and tried hard not to get a B
Daddy beefed it up a bit.
Hailey was absorbed in Whinnie the Pooh, which oddly enough, she calls "Humpty humpty dee". 

Hailey enjoys the pie leftover from Thanksgiving (after all, we only had 5 pies...)
Maybe a little too much...
Hannah just woke up from her turkey-nap.
Just in time for daddy to make some ravioli for her. 

Greg gets ready for work. This temporary night shift thing is a killer!
Best friends again today. We'll see how long it lasts this time.
Oh well, it only lasted moments. "Beth won't let me play Brats with her!"
Beth is thinking of her future as a lunatic architect. Porter is the cofounder of her company, as seen in this photo op. 

Hailey and her "Pink Piggy" (We're not kidding, that's his name!)
Such a little stinker!
We got this soldier bear free at the BX and Hailey loves it!
Daddy and Hailey take time to wrestle. It keeps them both at the top of their game. 

Summer 2006...looking back a little bit

A Cimenski-pile on the floor at Grandpa and Grandma Yourczek's house. 

Summer 2006...Greg just came back from Iraq...

Touring the firehouse...
Beth started a fire in her trash can when we lived in Utah...so I don't know if firefighting is in her future...
Hannah looks ready to model fire fighting apparel, rather than actually fight a fire.
Now, finally, this one looks determined enough to fight something. But Grandpa's boots are hip-waders on her! 

Summer 2006...while Greg was in Iraq...

Grandpa took his granddaughters on a tour of the firehouse where he volunteers! They even got to ride in the truck with the sirens and lights on!
Summer 2006 tubing....on the Platte River! Then we all BBQ'd at the park! Hannah was terrified for the first 20 minutes, Beth had a blast, and Hailey acted like a queen, leaning back and enjoying the float. 

Summer 2006...while Greg was in Iraq...

Uncle Josh was teaching Hailey how to be BAD just like himself! (She took to it way too well!)
Hannah had a blast too.
Beth enjoyed putting her feet up and letting Josh do all the work for her! 

Hailey found a scissors in Beth's room and gave herself a makeover. This was NOT appr0ved by Mommy! Now she looks really ridiculous! But i guess she did a fair job of it...
And here's the back. There was no hair left untouched!!! And right before Christmas photos, wouldn't you know!!!
