Cappuccino Anyone?

Steve FINALLY got a new coffee pot!!!!

When we moved to Memphis, he sold our Cuisinart coffee maker that ground fresh beans for each pot of coffee and went to Walmart to purchase the cheapest pot they had.  This is what $9 will buy:

(I took pictures of it while it was dirty because I wanted to add to the dramatic effect of how pathetic this thing is.)  You’ll note that the handle broke off a few months ago, but Steve kept right on using it. 

You’ll note that the basket doesn’t fit really well.  At one point, he even used rubber bands to attempt to hold the basket in place. 

But at last!  I managed to talk Steve into getting a new coffee pot.  This time he picked out exactly what he wanted.

Cappuccino anyone?

Savoring the deliciousness of it all!

Apparently it makes good foam!

The Other 218

Over the weekend, we took our kids to the botanical garden to take Easter pictures.  In the past, I’ve had a few people ask how I was able to get such a great picture of my kids.  The trick – a digital camera that allows me to take a ton of pictures.  I took 219 pictures on Sunday.  Of those, one of them will work.  Here’s a sampling of the other 218 and a look into my life as a mother of two young, cute, very active and very silly babies.

Thankfully, after all was said and done, I did manage to get one good picture!  I love my babies!!

“It’s Rodeo Time!”

Yesterday Steve took the afternoon off, and we went to Rodeo!  We had so much fun!

Claire with a Texas Longhorn

Claire, since learning about Miss Piggy from The Muppets, is in love with pigs.  She was so excited to get to see “piggies.”

Baby Chicks

We saw lots of animals, and Claire had a great time!  Cale slept through Rodeo.  We’re looking forward to going again next year!
