Funky Fun with the Rathbuns

February 5

Ken has a little hand-held texter he got as a product tester. It's useless for that purpose, but Asher has adopted it as his own little laptop "computer," because it looks like a mini-notebook.

February 4

I love tongs!

 

  

 

Oatmeal in the crockpot ... recipe FAIL. Ew!

Office shower for Danette...

 

 

Oh-so-serious self-portrait...

February 3

Cornflakes mess...

Surveying the territory...

 

  

 

Dump truck!

February 2

Eating Grandma's "diet food."

February 1

Everyday excitement...

Asher loves his alligator; good fun.

 

 

And Ken steams a handpiece part during a repair...

January 31

I hosted a baby shower for Danette at our house today. I had lots of great helpers (thanks Ken, Mom and everyone who contributed!), and we had a lovely time.

 

  

  

  

I already posted a pic of the diaper cake, but this one is bigger and brighter, so I can remember details. 

January 30

I made a diaper cake for Danette's baby shower. I thought it turned out pretty well, considering I hadn't done one before and I'm not a real experienced crafter...

January 28

Breakfast with Dora and Diego...

January 27

I decided to make a carrot cake today, completely from scratch, including the cream cheese frosting. It was YUM.

I love to mow!

January 25

Lucy came over to play today. We wore ourselves out!

 

  

 

January 24

Going for a ride...

Backwards through the legs...

Playin' drums!

January 23

A few of the many face of Asher... Look at my giant tower!

 

  

 

January 21

Asher likes to make helmets of plastic storage bowls.

January 20

For people who don't really like tea, we sure do have a lot!

Li'l tiny cramia

Asher is learning about cameras. Mommy has a Nikon D-200 ("great big cramia") and several smaller ones, including the Flip UltraHD ("li'l tiny cramia").

January 19

Sure, a diaper box in the middle of the kitchen seems like a perfect place to set up a nap, right?

Or maybe the new rug in the bathroom?

Our family room is a jungle gym!

Asher got a new robe; I think he likes it. :o)

January 17

Asher helped make oatmeal chocolate chip cookies today. We had fun!

 

January 16

Ken is getting ready to start mountain biking again, so this morning he was working on getting the ride tuned up. It turned into a game of chase for Asher -- good way to tire him out!

 

January 15

Suppertime silliness...

 

January 14

I'm not crazy about having to squeegee our glass shower, but it's worth it for a crystal clear view. In the mornings, we get rainbows as the sun rises.

I have such a gorgeous husband, and he is magnificent against the blue sky background. :o)

Apparently the disposal can't handle more than a few bits of potato peelings. ICK.

My other gorgeous boy!

January 13

It's amazing how cool shoes can make you feel sexy.

January 12

Hands are the new feet.

Insomnia

It's now 10:10 p.m. and Asher has been flopping around in his bed
since 8:45. Poor guy!

All aboard the zoo train!

January 8

The office. We need to have the cabinets raised, because our monitors are too big to fit underneath.

The kitchen.

The master bath (well, what you can see from the doorway, anyhow...).

The master bedroom.

Asher's room.

Playing in the sand wears a boy out!

January 7

The family room in rare form (usually covered in toys; we managed to pick up this night!).

Before and after acquiring the new treadmill...
