Easter Bunny Visits the Bagleys

Here is some late pictures
(im so NOT on the ball)
of easter baskets and all on easter.
the kids had a blast.
i thought we pretty much over did it with the baskets.
but it was fun.

Lucille , My love!!!

This baby is sweet, and precious.
and as most mothers, i am in love with her.

she is just a mild little angel
I call her Lucille, but everyone else calls her Lucy.
im not that big of a fan of the name Lucy-----but i love
LUCILLE.
i think when she gets in school i will tell her teachers that
her name is either Lucille, or Pearl.
(i call her both names sometimes)

look at what a doll , straight out of the bath tub yesterday!

RUBY TURNS SIX!

Ruby had a birthday party while we were in Arizona visiting family.
i thought it would be a nice little party to have for her with her beloved cousins.
she had the time of her life.
She insisted that her birthday was a hawaii party. she wanted all things hawaii.
( i dont know what made her think of that, maybe the fact that her dad is obsessed)
so becky and i made a cake, and i decorated it. ( im not a professional cake decorater, it was the best i could
do --there is a beach, and maddie made a hula girl for it.)

she got a few presents and had a pinata ( which we forgot to do at the party--so we did it the next day with all beckys kids.)

The Longest Drive Ever!!!

we got back from our trip from Utah on Monday morning at 430 Am.
we left Sunday morning at 10 am.
under normal circumstances, we should have gotten home by 10 pm on sunday night.
we got caught in a blizzard and had to
use chains for half of the trip. it took six hours longer than normal.
an ear infection, a car full of sick children who were sick of being in the car all day,
and a migraine later---
we were home.
i have never been so grateful to be in my house, with all my stuff and
my problems.
it was joyful to drive down our street.
our cat was overjoyed to see us too.

Late Christmas Card

so,
here is our late christmas card picture.
i am trying to get a valentines card out, but cant decide what picture is best.
i will post three pictures and everyone who sees, tell me which one is the
best likeness of all of us.

my second question to everyone is,
should i include a picture of the baby on this card?
i know you cant see her in any of these pictures.
but i dont know if its really that big of a deal.

yo gabba gabba rules!!!

I stumbled upon this kids show a while ago.
and we love it.
its so bizarre and creative that it makes me want to go in my craft room and
start making weird stuff.
i love that it gets kids into dancing too. watch this video ---its awesome.
if you ever get a chance to watch the episode called "fun"---its our favorite.
there is a song called "party in my tummy"
its how i get ruby to eat her vegetables.

NO WAY Ezra!!!

Ezra has gotten into this little habit, or , i dont know what you call it, but he says NO WAY instead of a whole sentence.
i took this picture of him crying because it was right after i asked him " Ezra, do you need to sit on the naughty chair because you cant stop crying?" and he said "No way, naughty."
he wont say the whole sentence---he'll just say "no way" instead of " i dont want to" or " stop, or dont do that" or just instead of the word no.
he thinks that "no way" is the way you say no.
the other morning i was feeding him breakfast and he was having his typical freak out when the food was not coming fast enough. i said "Ezra, Chill out" and He said "NO way chill out"

the year of the GOLDEN pig

2007 was the year of the pig, according to the chinese zodiac.
and it just so happens that last year was the year of the "golden pig".
im not quite sure why its golden, or what makes it golden---but i do know that this only happens
every 600 years apparently , if you have a child born in the year
of the golden pig---you are set for life because that pig is going to bring you wealth and prosperity.
so, im so glad that Lucille was born on the year of the pig. cause we're gonna be rich!!!

if you google "year of the golden pig" youll find all kinds of funny articles about how chinese people didnt
need to manufacture birh control for this year and so forth.
everyone in china wanted a baby in 2007

Id like to know more on this subject if anyone knows anything.
i would like to know why the year is a golden pig, and all about where this theory came from in
chinese folklore.

Conan the Lover Cat

Conan was feeling left out of the love .
so he decided to get back into things and make his way back on my lap, no matter how intrusive.
