"Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh."

~ W. H. Auden, "Notes on the Comic"

Just feeling grateful for wonderful children ...

The Politically Incorrect Landsberger Boys

I know Miss America is supposedly passe and politically incorrect, but I absolutely LOVE it!!! We watch it every year and though I rarely pick a winner, I think Rob has either chosen the winner or the first runner up for, at the very least, the last ten years. Believe it or not, he chose Miss Georgia (first runner up) from his cell phone in WalMart last night (without even seeing her). It's become sort of a family thing as well. Last night when the show came on, Bradley insisted we call Trey because he watched it with us last year.

The talent competition was the biggest hit this year. It turns out Bradley is a huge fan of hula and tap dancing, but not operatic singing. Stephen, however, said of Miss Georgia, "I haven't heard anyone sing like that in years" (yes, all seven of them) and was truly amazed by Miss Tennessee's opera number. He was also delighted to see, "Clinton, from 'What Not To Wear'"!!! (Don't ask me how he knows Clinton ... I don't think I want to know).

Bradley did not like Miss New York's hairstyle at all, but liked her dress because it had a "ninja death star" applique. Stephen wasn't really into the gowns but seemed to greatly appreciate the swimsuit competition ... greatly! Isn't it terrific, I'm living with the Siskel & Ebert of the Pageant scene ... good Lord!!! ... but I swear, they were hilarious!!! It was a very fun night.

So, I just wanted to say to all you Miss America Haters ... you don't know nothing til you've watched it with my boys!!! They are available most weekends and holidays. Please check back for market value and current rental rates.

... And the next Mario Lopez is ....

hahahahah :)

The Kayla Files ...

If you didn't know ... taking pictures of oneself and friends in various states of hilarity is the new sleepover party game ... no Ouija boards or prank calls ... just a digital camera and a long arm.

Tonight I downloaded 156 pictures from Kayla's camera. Of those 138 were of the previously mentioned genre. Here are a few of the gems!!!

I guess it's a good thing they're all just so dang cute!!!

Fashion Alert!!! Red Lips Never Go Out Of Style!!!

Cameron would also like to thank the makers of Crystal Light "To Go" for the entire packet of cherry limeade he consumed like a horrible, blood-red pixie stick!

CONGRATULATIONS Devine Family!!!

One of Kayla's best friends, Hannah, got a very special gift this year ... a baby sister, Natilie! Congratulations to the whole Devine family. We couldn't be more thrilled for you all!

The first baby born in 2009 at St. John’s Regional Medical Center was Natilie Grace Devine. She was born at 4:43 a.m. to Tammy and Matt Devine, of Carl Junction. She weighed 8 pounds, 9 ounces.
Tammy and Matt Devine said Natilie was a “surprise.” She is their fourth child.
“We thought we were all finished with our family, but God had other plans,” Tammy Devine said. “We feel blessed. We’ve been blessed four times.” Matt Devine said the new arrival has changed his perspective on things. “At the top of the list was the economy and Israel and Pakistan, and now that’s kind of faded into the background for me,” Devine said.

2009??? What Happened To 2008???

Can you believe another year has flown by??? I sure can't. On the ninth of this month we will celebrate our 3 year (Carl Junction) anniversary! WOW ~ I just can't believe it!!!

When we moved here, the babies were 4 months old and looked like this:

Bradley still had Pebo,

Stephen went to preschool with the amazing Mrs. Pam,

and Kayla was only in the 4th grade.

Where did the time go?
