This pic snapped when we discovered Spike in the clutches of the mad
alchemists! We busted in with flying fists and blazing bullets!
Kicking through their cyborg dogs, smashing their laser-sighted guard
pigeons, dodging the flamethrowers - we battled to his side and
spirited him away! Nobody's experimenting on OUR kids but US, dammit!

STOP BREAKING MY CHILDREN

HELLA KATCHOO = 5 !!!

Hella had the "best birthday ever!" She got presents from her brothers, a new bike from Mom & Dad, and got to go to a little girls' spa for a mani/pedicure with Ingrid! OMG! How did she stand the excitement!?! After spa, it was back home for a homemade, giant, yellow, heart-shaped cake!
