Really?

Do people really buy $50 jeans for their babies?$65 boots? $80 rompers?$800 strollers?


I'm never feeling guilty for shopping at the Carter's outlet again.

Michelle I miss you! I was just looking at your blog and realizing that we still haven't been able to get together for a lunch or ANYTHING. I know you're a busy mommy now, but maybe when Kaiya is a little older we can meet up. Like, say, this summer?????????

It is ridiculous how much you can spend on baby clothes and they maybe can only fit into them for 3 months. I buy EVERYTHING on sale, especially if it's name brand. My in-laws spend a bit of money on Brooklyn's church dresses but surprisingly she has been able to wear them for quite a while.

Yes. Yes. And yes. Some even buy $120 jeans for their infants, who will only fit in them for about 2 months.

I'm not even feeling guilty for multiple Target trips a month any more!

Hello that romper is worth it! It says "juicy" for heaven sakes!

Man oh man... My eyes were opened to this kind of spending while we were in Vegas and I needed to buy something warm for Jake to wear. Good thing we found a Baby Gap with a clearance rack, otherwise the kid would have been cold.

Stroller? I had one, but most of the time I carried my baby around on my hip. New shoes? I'd check the big box of out-grown shoes in the basement before heading to the store! I'll admit, sometimes I was insane. But today when shopping, I still walk to the clearance rack first.

I laugh reading your mom's entry, because I think it's an inherited trait to look for sales and such. Our parents would never do it so we can't bring ourselves to either. Anyway, I always found it ridiculous when they can wear them once and then outgrow them. No thanks.

Oh man, I HATED that big box of my sisters' old shoes. I usually had my own (new) tennis shoes, because they tend to wear out quicker, but I always had to wear hand-me-down church shoes. It sucks being the third girl.

ummm actually I know someone who bought her five year old daughter true religion jeans that were $150 dollars! AND her daughter refused to wear them!

Um, I am going to be the voice of dissent here. I totally would. Maybe it's because I'm shallow, maybe it's because I'm single and see kids as living accessories, or maybe it's because I don't actually have to think about clothing a child and the fiscal responsibility that entails...but I totally would. Sorry.

Sayla Larsen and Kaiya have dance together on Tuesdays. Imagine a dozen uncoordinated three-year-olds running around a studio in tutus. It's pretty much the cutest thing ever. The girls were playing at our house after class the other day. They are so funny together... See? Told ya.

Valentine's Day photos

Valentine's Day seemed as good an excuse as any to schedule long-overdue photos for the kiddos. (And I'm posting all of my favorites because I can.  Also so that my mom and Marsha can tell me which ones they want me to print for them.) Ben was an absolute turd during this photo shoot, which is why I'm amazed these pictures turned out as good as they did.  I will have to Photoshop that sucker out of his hand when I order prints for the wall, though.  Here's our little GQ junior model...  Seriously, how could anyone stay mad at that face?  And here's Miss Kaiya!  She is growing up WAY too fast for my liking. This one is my favorite! So... once Ben finally cheered up, Kaiya acted up, and our attempts at getting a decent sibling photo were kinda' thwarted... This one will have to do :)

Christmas 2012

Christmas Eve We attempted to teach the Walker grandkids the nativity story by having them act it out.  Ben was uncooperative and the costumes need some work (my fault), but the kids were pretty cute nonetheless.  Ben cheered up when he got to play with this super friendly golden retriever puppy that my in-laws were babysitting/hiding (he was to be a Christmas surprise for some friends).  What is it about this breed that is so stinkin' cute!?    Kaiya decorated some cookies for Santa by emptying two jars of sprinkles. Christmas Day   Since we video taped the whole procession, we neglected to take too many pictures Christmas morning.  But here are a couple shots of the magic.  Among other things, Santa gave Kaiya a puppy... as real a puppy as she'll ever get, anyway :)   Santa also brought Ben his own little car which he's been driving around the basement for three days (alongside Kaiya on her new birt...
