And got rid of his new (as of 2003) clean-shaven look...
He might actually look like this guy...
Uncle Johnny, you can clean up our spills, anytime! ;-)

Just thinking...
If the brawny man were actually brawnier...

HAPPY 3RD BIRTHDAY, ANNA!
Here are some photos of Anna's 3rd birthday extravaganzas!
She was a very gracious and patient party girl during all 3 (yes, not a typo) parties.
The first party was at Mimi's house and she shared her party with Charlie Mae, who turned 1 in October. While she was happy to share her party, she was not so interested in sharing toys, either hers OR Charlie's. Aunt Nana was very nice and bought her her own set of dishes as she refused to let Charlie play with her own at Thanksgiving! Thank goodness Charlie Mae is a patient girl. Don't worry Charlie, next year Anna will be an expert at sharing!
Birthday Hat Cheese!
More Birthday Hat Cheese!
"Helping" Charlie Mae open her gifts. Then helping herself to Charlie Mae's toys.
A cake made out of ice cream? Was that Uncle Joshy's idea?
She then had a party with the Sides clan:
Two Thumbs Up Cheese!
She is getting good at that!
Ben and Molly are patiently watching Anna open gifts.
Wow! A magic princess book? Thanks, Granny!
Finally, the party girl got a party thrown by mommy and mommy's friend Corinne at home so she could celebrate with her friends. Sadly, only Sohpie made the party as Anna's birthday happens to fall during cold and flu season and everyone else was under the weather. Thanks for representing, Sophie! Luckily, Baby Salem was able to stop by later on. The party was "Tea Party" themed and included "Pin the Lid on the Teapot" and sugar cube stacking.
I LOVE princess cakes!
The girls were good at stacking (and not actually eating) the sugar cubes
Good aim, Sophie!
The birthday princess, all tuckered out in a new dress up outfit from Miss Kim!
Thanks for everyone's effort and the lovely gifts. Anna didn't get thank-you cards out this year because her mommy dropped the ball but know that everything was appreciated!!!

The Philosophy of 2 Year-Olds
Anna's philosophy on Religion:
Anna: "Jesus is alla (all) awound us!"
Curt: "He is...?"
Anna: "Yeah. Cause his caw (car) goes alla awound!"
Side note: The other day she made up two imaginary friends: Sella and Seeno.
Whether or not they get to stick around is anyone's guess but it reminded me of Ben's long-term imaginary friends Monus and Buddus who got to exist for nearly a year.
What will she come up with now that she's 3? (Birthday blog coming soon!)

Happy Fourth!
Another wonderful parade down Sophie's street.
Another fun time watching fireworks at Mimi's.
Another good time altogether!
Happy Day!

Treats and One Trick!
Here are the two princesses getting ready to Trick or Treat.
Notice the frantic and confused looks. I'm sure I looked that like at age 3 on Halloween as well!
Cinderella and Snow White
Trick or Treating at Miss Kim's house, the most important first stop!
Michelle's costume! (Enthusiastic Mom - wearing a flower hat)
More treats!
Sadly, halfway down the next block Snow White didn't see a step and took a spill.
After a few tears she hit a few more houses and proclaimed herself done!
Hope everyone's Halloween was happy!

The GREAT Pumpkin!
Here we are carving the Great Pumpkin of 2010. We have had a lovely pumpkin three years in a row (if I do say so myself!).
This year, we ended up with a giant monster that we got in Hartsburg, MO. I warned daddy not to pick one he couldn't lift on the table.
As you can see from the first picture, he didn't listen. We had to remove the guts outside in order for him to lift it!
Squishy cheese!
Anna chose the design off the internet and daddy painstakingly drew it to scale on a bigger sheet. Anna helped cut the pieces out this year. Thanks for your hard work, daddy and Anna!
More hard work poking the pumpkin!
See how big that sucker is? And notice our little kitty pumpkin to mommy's right?
Voila! Anna's GREAT pumpkin!

Fall Happenings
Here are some wonderful pictures of our recent Fall Happenings.
First, pictures from the Fall Festival in Jefferson City where we trick or treated at the governor's mansion, saw an apple press, made a bird feeder, and got a free book!
Their Royal Highnesses Sophia and Anna Maria
CHEESE!
Anna tried to look at the camera but... there was water to stare at!
Goofy Anna
Lovely Anna
Dancing to the bluegrass music
Here are some photos of ANNA'S FIRST SCHOOL HALLOWEEN PARTY!!! (Which I, of course, volunteered to help with because I am determined to be that type of parent!)
Sarcastic Cheese! (a.k.a Leave me alone so I can proceed to the party!)
Hard at work at her spider craft (the table I was in charge of)
A tired party girl being helped along by her escort, Grandma Stokes.
Finally, here is a shot of the girls Trick or Treating at Mimi's work. I guess I was too busy shuffling them around and eying the candy I was going to steal later to take more pictures! (Notice Sophie's flawless make-up! Anna's lipstick was smeared on the front door of Mimi's work within minutes. Does this portend their teenage years or what?)
