Anyone up for a little Birthday Ear Piercing?

Smile Away!

This is before Lucy had a clue

of what she was getting herself into.

I love this shot.

Notice the Grandmas snapping shots

of Lucy picking out her earrings.

Me signing consent forms.

Josh might have lost some

cuddling privileges for this one.

Max lending his support!

And now...

Reality hits!

WHAT WAS I THINKING!

And the other side is even worse.

Oh wait...

Pretty/sparkly.

Hey that wasn't so bad.

Didn't even hurt.

This time we welcomed 2 fire bellied toads into the family.

Lucy's pet is Fire and

Wait for it...

Max's toad's name is Max!

Even though it's been two months since we got these guys,

the kids continue to get up on the counter and watch them.

I personally love their croaking... It's kind of therapeutic.

This kid is constantly look for the next thrill.

When Daddy is 6'2" and you have a Love Sac,
