Remember that one time?

Remember when I used to blog more than twice a month?

And remember when my brother and his family came into town in March and I was going to blog more about it and post more pictures? And remember when I didn't do that?

Yeah, me too. Because I was looking through my picture folders and I stumbled across these gems. So here are some pictures from when they came to visit. A lot of pictures. I apologize in advance if there are too many. ... But really, who am I kidding? My family is so good-looking. There's no such thing as "too many" pictures. Psh.

We'll start off with the sweet little girls.


Sooo sweet...
Next we have my super sexy husband rocking his 70's porn 'stache (which he has since shaved AND he has since cut his hair, FYI). Lucky for me, he looks good either way.

And then, of course, back to the little blondies, who wasted no time in finding the princess dress-ups.
...and then jumped off the stairs like the cheerleading, butterfly, fairy princesses they are.I got in touch with my inner princess and dressed up, as well. Although, since none of the princess dresses fit me, the girls kindly picked out this glamorous grassy gown for me.
And next we have Brandon teaching our grandpa how to use an iPad. (Feel free to insert your own 'teaching an old dog new tricks' joke here)

...and back to the girls. They're holding their Valentines to remind you that these pictures were taken like 3 months ago and that I'm a slacker. Thanks a lot, girls.
And this is my most favorite picture. Ever. Marie has officially gone mad. Oh, I love this girl.
Meanwhile, my big brother was trying to prove that he could still pick me up. Success. BARELY.
And finally, a picture with our beautiful (and fabulous) grandmother.
But I still have no idea where the girls get their craziness from.

To quote the late Carey Grant, "Insanity runs in my family...It practically gallops!"

LOLOL to Marie going mad. She does look completely crazed in that photo!

Fun times - wish I could have been there. I, for one, am glad you posted these even if it is a bit late. Like I have room to talk... I'm still working on finishing up my final post from our trip to Costa Rica in January!

And yes, great looking family :)
