If you think my broom closet was crowded, you should have seen what was camping out in my refrigerator! About 15-20 beanie babies, ponies AND one GIANT snowman!

Tea party

You know grandkids have been at Grandma and Grandpa's house when you reach for the broom and discover a rockin' animal party.

Notice a pattern?

Emma, taking McKenzie down (2015)

Lily, taking Amy down (2009)

Okay, fine, Amy had her moment, too.

Kim and Mini Kim

Can you see the resemblance?

Now all that remains to be seen is if Emma loves carrots and reading and Les Mis as much as her mom. : )

April

Ever wonder what 32 egg whites look like?

 Mom has been HARD at work in the kitchen preparing scrumptiousness for Heather's wedding this weekend.

In the meantime...How many people does it take to feed a baby? 

 All the girls in the Tittel family.
(Rebs is so drunk with happiness she couldn't keep her eyes open for the photo)

Is this becoming a favorite pasttime?

  Prayers for sweet little Emma and her doctors right now.

Good job Dad getting the prestigious Teacher of the Year award in his college!!!

PS it's spring, and a big congrats to Jordan H for graduating today/tomorrow!

And an even bigger congrats to these two!!!  Welcome to the family Jordan!  We're excited for Saturday!!!

Hidden Gems

I was cleaning up and scanning old documents and photos today, when I ran into these gems.  I hope you enjoy this blast from the past!

Sunday Night Activity

Tonight we did a Google hangout with the Woodies.  It was great to see baby Rachel, Jonathan, Jacob, and their awesome mom of course. We even heard Harry Potter theme song with left and right hands and in the original key (ie lots of black keys)--go Jacob. We missed Adam & the girls who were gone but had fun chatting with the ones who were home. Jordan H used his skills to make getting 8 people in the webcam simultaneously look easy.  Long live the corn hat and the doggy ears effects (Jacob's favorites, when he's not putting curses on you that is).

Next Sunday: Nielsens??

Aunt Carolyn look alike

I was going through some old photos.  This is from 1.5 years ago on Rich's birthday.  My mac automatically tries to match people's faces with names and provides auto suggestions.  Needless to say, this photo made me laugh. hahahahaha!!!

Infringement of Tittelfitz privacy rights

A few months ago, Sage used Becca's camera to take some photos in the orchard, of the fall colors.  When I downloaded them, I accidentally made myself a copy of about 30 of the Tittelfitz' photos.  Some of them were so hilarious, I can't resist posting them, with a special request to Becca to add captions to them.  Seriously, it must just be one big party at the Tittelfitzes with such cute and funny kids.

The Balloonmeisters

Kim and Spencer have become staples for any birthday party around here.  These are long overdue pictures from Lily's birthday party when they came and wowed the guests with their skills!

Good thing we fixed Lily's hair before she put on this lovely birthday headpiece.

The blushing bride

Thanks so much, Kim and Spencer.  Especially since we sort of stole your balloon pump and kept it for 4 months….  tee hee.  I promise we'll give it back in time for Eliza's birthday party! : ) 

Can you believe he whipped out a pumpkin? 

I love this picture!  

Thanks for having such sweet SKILLS, Kim and Spencer.  And generosity to share your talents and time, too.
