A Little Of This & A Little Of That

For breakfast this morning I decided to have a cara cara orange. In case you don't know, these are new oranges (at least I have not seen them before this year) that are a cross between an orange and a grapefruit. They are sweet and juicy, and I have become quite a fan. Well, as I broke it open, it was full of mold inside! GROSS! Has this happened to anyone before? I tried to get a good picture, but this was the best I could come up with...

I try. I really do. But sometimes all my efforts are in vain. Ashlyn did look very cute at one point today. However, after redoing her hair about three times and redressing her a half dozen times, I finally gave up. I think she is trying to start some new trends. This is how she looked when Brian came home...

We got our car back today which was a bummer because I was really liking our rental. We had a black 2008 Chevy Malibu and it was a much nicer ride than our Elantra. But they did do a nice job on the repair...

Any guesses on this next pic?...

That's right. I told you Trent had some seriously chunky thighs. What kind of picture did you think I was posting? I recently took him to his four month appointment and he now weighs 15 lbs. 4 oz. I have said this before, but there is just more of him to love, and I love it!

GREAT POST-hilarious!! The picture of Ashlyn after a long day is a hoot and of course the picture of Trent's bum, I mean leg, is so funny. Ha ha-I'm still laughing.

He is a doll! I love Ashlyn's new style too. Is that orange the same as a blood orange?

Erica said...

Great pictures! I for sure that was his butt!

No Karalee, the cara cara is different than the blood orange.

Love the post! Very cute picture of Ashlyn. How she looks is how I feel sometimes when Dave gets home from work. Especially bad if Dave has to go to his part-time job too. I also thought that was a picture of Trent's bum. Very cute kids!!

The Simmons Family said...

Could your kids be any cuter?? I can't believe what a little chunky hunk Trent is. And I think ALL two year olds look like Ashlyn at the end of the day! Just wait until she's in school...they come home and you just want to throw them in the shower!

Cara Cara are one of our favs... We usually just peel them and bite into them. Now I'm a little more cautious and will have to look inside before eating it. I like the tartness like a grapefruit but sweet like an orange...mmm.

Monica Lifferth said...

HA! I seriously laughed out loud. I thought, "first she post pictures of poor Brian bleeding, now Trent's bum!" You know how much I love those thighs of his. They are truly the best.

Oh, and Ashlyn would look perfect at an 80's costume party. She's just showing her style. Love ya!

Sandi said...

I had never heard of a cara cara fruit. It sounds interesting. My grandchild Ashlyn is as cute as they come. Trent is a chunk. I can't wait to see him on Saturday, It has been weeks.

Zachary said...

Personally, I didn't think you would be supporting the child porn industry, so I was guessing it wasn't a bum. Cute kid. Ashlyn would fit in well at a toga party. Did the insurance buy you guys new car seats? I never heard the verdict on that.

Crazy Lifferths said...

Well if it is different then a blood orange I am going to have to investigate that. I LOVE grapefruit and oranges too, so I gotta try one!

They seriously get cuter and cuter everyday, if that is even possible! I can't imagine what Belle would look like if you didn't try at all! As for Trent, he is a dreamboat! I have never seen mold on the inside of an orange so that is a new one for me, Blechh!

Hello! said...

OOHHHHH! Chunky babies are the best!

That's a great new trend Ashlyn is starting... The 80's are coming back you know...

Mary said...

The orange is just yukky! I have to admit that looked like a precious little bottom. I am so glad that Ashlyn is her own person but it does make it more challenging for Mom.

Is it me or does Trent look like Grampa Mike? I know we have a photo somewhere of Mike just like that in a little blue vest and tie. Same head and cheezy grin.

What a joy you have.

Love you!!!

What a beautiful family! As for Ashlyn and the long day...I am at a loss since Abbie does the same thing and I feel like I am always telling her to leave her bows/hair alone. Hey Brion was wondering if the insurance company replaced your car seats? Hope to see you soon!

Heather said...

I love Ashlyns hair and shirt! What can ya do? Sometimes you just have to laugh! So I took Tate for his 4 month check up...13 lbs 3 oz. Little man. He is actually only in the 18% for weight, and 75% for height. The dr suggested to start supplementing with formula after nursing...my poor guy is so hungry! Hopefully he will catch up to Trent soon. Trent is such a handsome boy!! We need to get together...

I've had an orange that was moldy inside...it was gross. Those pictures are GREAT!

Jamie said...

Cute, cute kids! My kiddos will be clean when we get in the car and by the time we get where we are going they are messy.

Gretch said...

HA HA! That bum shot is hilarious!! Gotta love those chunky thighs! The picture of Ashlyn reminds of the way I probably look and feel when Jason gets home sometimes. Our girls with their strong personalities and own sense of style-what are we going to do?!!

That orange with the mold is gross-how depressing when you think you are going to be eating this delicious juicy orange and then you find mold! Its a good thing you peeled it first. Glad your car got fixed. So did the insurance pay for car seats?
