for the outburst laughing

I am still giggling looking at the pictures

since Sam the man LOVES pink [or not] and likes to pick on jason for wearing pink

we decided to get him a pink shirt for his birthday

and decided that we all need to wear pink in his honor in TC

here are the results

we were trying to gather more participants 

so my mom volunteered a few of her extra shirts

and this is what we GOT:

pink club!

and dying laughing!

pass the peas

please

A typical thing we eat on a Thursday at Kims!

Which I love

I also love spending time with these friends

and was able to on Monday night!

Arie has to ask for the peas to be passed this week 

because he got his first jar of baby food

he did pretty good with them, until he was done.  then he was done :) 

and one more shot at a new food

bananas

this went over pretty good.
