Have you ever wondered if there was more to life, other than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?

July 31, 2009

(Spoiler Alert: No, There Isn't.)

(Also Known As: Inexplicable Photo Essay Number 7,895: In Which My Children Have Disastrously Short Careers As Male Models
)

(Also Also Known As: Wow, Amy, You've Already Used An Ungodly Number Of Colons)

WHERE IS MY VITAMIN WATER?

IMG_3119

SERIOUSLY, IF MY ASSISTANT IS NOT BACK HERE IN FIVE MINUTES WITH VITAMIN WATER, I WILL PUNCH SOMEONE IN THE NECK.

IMG_3126

I'm sorry I was wack. Now I shall pose.

IMG_3127

But have you noticed how insanely long my legs are all of a sudden? You do not want to get into a walk-off with me.

IMG_3128 

And I'm done. Now someone please fire off a press release about my "exhaustion."

(Confidential to Catherine: PET MAH LIZAAAARD!)

IMG_3130

Hey. What up?

IMG_3142

No Vitamin Water theatrics from me, as I'm new on the scene. Young. Fresh. Hungry.

IMG_3147

So....very...hungry.

IMG_3148

Haven't...eaten...in...minutes...

IMG_3151

NOM NOM NOM AAAHHGRGRAAAASHHLURP.

IMG_3145

What? Like it's my fault I'm so good-looking that even my reflection is delicious.

Okay, you definitely have learned how to manipulate space-time, or something, because there is NO WAY that Noah is that big. Not possible. I'm going to sic Stephen Hawking on you if you're not careful.

Posted by: Cynical Nymph | July 31, 2009 at 03:20 PM

Wait, who are these kids, again? Because those two big boys can't be Ezra and Noah, right? RIGHT?

(And I like your new fridge, by the way!)

Posted by: Megan@Blueberry Scones | July 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM

Wow, Noah is getting so big! Cute pics of both boys.

Posted by: Lauren | July 31, 2009 at 03:27 PM

And here I thought my husband and I were the only two people who loved Zoolander.

"I'm not an ambiturner! I can't turn left!"

Gold. Cute boys. I love that Ezra is trying to suck sustenance out through the fridge.

Posted by: Hannah | July 31, 2009 at 03:44 PM

I call this look "Stainless Steel" I use it mostly for blogs and catalogs...

Posted by: Erin | July 31, 2009 at 03:45 PM

ha! that giant diaper kills me.

Posted by: Danielle | July 31, 2009 at 03:45 PM

yes, i agree with the other commenters, they're BIG. who is this handsome 'noah' who ate your toddler? and who is this cute 'ezra' who ate your baby?

Posted by: beyond | July 31, 2009 at 03:45 PM

This could explain why the last fridge broke. Was Ezra getting fresh with the last one too? (Love the pictures!!)

Posted by: Sprite's Keeper | July 31, 2009 at 03:47 PM

Hannah - Zoolander is the best movie ever, second only maybe to Office Space.

Erin - That's it, you win the Internet. I'm handing this blog over to you, it'll be funnier if you write it.

Posted by: Amalah | July 31, 2009 at 03:48 PM

"...wow, you're ridiculously good looking, maybe you could do that for a career."

Lock up you're daughters... the Storch boys are on the prowl!! Yeooooowwww!

Posted by: Courtney D | July 31, 2009 at 03:50 PM

Incredible. Seriously 2 of the cutest boys on earth. Will you move to Texas so I can babysit for you? Is that crazy?

Posted by: Nel | July 31, 2009 at 03:58 PM

Ok, so please explain to me exactly *when* your babies turned into little people.

Seriously. Am scared.

Posted by: Jay | July 31, 2009 at 04:01 PM

When did Noah get so BIG??

Posted by: Meghan | July 31, 2009 at 04:01 PM

Holy crow! When did Noah turn into such a little boy? I was used to seeing two babies on this site!

Posted by: Tiffany | July 31, 2009 at 04:05 PM

"Scuse' me I beleive you have my stapler?"
and other most favorite
"and the squirells they were married"
Love the Stainless steel comment..priceless.
Amy thank you for being my inspiration to blog and become a Mommy!

Posted by: Amanda | July 31, 2009 at 04:06 PM

Can't help the corners of my mouth from turning upward. Laughing at the adorableness. Thank you for that! Seriously though, any tips on how to keep the stainless steel fridge free from baby slurpees smudgees?

Posted by: MommiePie | July 31, 2009 at 04:06 PM

Oh my gosh, Noah's shirt is so cute! He's definitely got a shot at modeling for GQ, but I would urge him to wait until next year. You know, after he graduates high school.
But seriously, didn't he just have baby fat like, last week??

Posted by: Amber | July 31, 2009 at 04:09 PM

Such fabulous models!

Posted by: Mrs Soup | July 31, 2009 at 04:13 PM

Oh Wow- the whole internet...it's really too much, like a gift from Oprah or something. My blog is pretty stalled out right now so I'd really better leave the keys with you.

Posted by: Erin | July 31, 2009 at 04:15 PM

sooooo cute!! Just don't let them enroll in the Derek Zoolander Center For Children Who Can't Read Good And Wanna Learn To Do Other Stuff Good Too. I've heard bad things.

Love the fluffy bum on Ez, mine's a cloth diaper baby too. And I'm sure she will be licking her own reflection soon enough! yummy yummy self...

Posted by: stacy | July 31, 2009 at 04:33 PM

So ... Noah's 8 now, right? Those legs, they are endless!

And Little Miss Kickboxer still wants to marry Ezra.

Posted by: charlotte | July 31, 2009 at 04:57 PM

Sooooooo cuuuute!!

Posted by: Lucy The Valiant | July 31, 2009 at 05:07 PM

You have absolutely the cutest children...i loved the captions

Posted by: georgie | July 31, 2009 at 06:05 PM

I'm mildly embarrassed to say this and worried it sounds stalkerish, but my God has Noah like doubled in size since the last photo we've seen?! He's a little boy now!

Posted by: Allison | July 31, 2009 at 06:14 PM

Holy heck, when did Noah become a little boy instead of a baby faced toddler? He grew up overnight.

Posted by: Deidre | July 31, 2009 at 06:24 PM

OMG! I almost dropped my laptop in the floor I was laughing so hard! They are adorable!

Posted by: Rachel | July 31, 2009 at 06:58 PM

Erin, you are awesome. Amy we wouldn't have "stainless steel" if you hadn't set it up. Awesome all the way around.

Posted by: Amanda B. | July 31, 2009 at 07:22 PM

As usual, those kids are gorgeous! And I am envious of that shiny new fridge. Hope this one keeps cool things cool and frozen things frozen and not the other way around.

Posted by: Kathi | July 31, 2009 at 07:36 PM

Posted by: Kathi | July 31, 2009 at 07:36 PM

OMG have they both gotten big. Love the Ez man trying to eat his reflection.

Posted by: Kristin | July 31, 2009 at 07:56 PM

Wow. Is Noah really that big these days?

Those pictures of Ez are hilarious. And also slightly wrong when you add the captions.

Posted by: Emily | July 31, 2009 at 08:15 PM

Thanks for this post, I've been missing Noah. You're all way too cute.

Posted by: Barb | July 31, 2009 at 08:56 PM

Love the necktie t-shirt. Your boys are AWFULLY cute. I bet you knew that didn't you?

Posted by: Carolyn Online | July 31, 2009 at 09:04 PM

Love it! Those ones of Ez making out with the fridge made my eyes tear up. My Ollie is doing the same thing- ON EVERYTHING. The worst is when there is leftover food still hidden in his mouth and he gums on something cloth-y... like the couch.

Posted by: Sheryl | July 31, 2009 at 09:17 PM

How can he know the lip tuck of possible trouble at nine months?

Posted by: egplnt21 | July 31, 2009 at 09:25 PM

I'll forgive the bear for the overalls-with-no-shirt look, but I'm not so sure about the tail cut-out.

Posted by: megs | July 31, 2009 at 10:27 PM

Oh geez ladies, I'm all choked up with the awesomeness here! I had a post up for a blogger I read and follow (MckMama if you've heard of her) and I've had a few hundred hits from her blogfrog site but not one single comment- I've been feeling kind of foolish and crabby because of it. And Zoolander just sets you up for so much I really couldn't help myself. Thanks for the big pat on the back!

Posted by: Erin | July 31, 2009 at 10:33 PM

is it just me or have they gotten significantly huger overnight?

Posted by: Jen | July 31, 2009 at 11:26 PM

FYI, for anybody interested, Necktie shirt from Etsy: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=28533230&ref=sr_gallery_21&&ga_search_query=necktie+shirt&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_page=&order=date_desc&includes[]=tags&includes[]=title

Ezra has a matching onesie (eeeeeeeee), and...yeah. Jason has a matching shirt. That I forced him to wear. In public. On father's day. Am asshole.

Posted by: Amalah | July 31, 2009 at 11:29 PM

Hi-larious! This is one of my favorite posts ever.

Posted by: Loren | July 31, 2009 at 11:33 PM

LOVES IT! They've got the gift!Better exploit them now before they know better!

Posted by: Lauren | July 31, 2009 at 11:57 PM

Dear Ezra,

I totally do that too. Except I'm 23.

Posted by: Ashley | August 01, 2009 at 12:01 AM

OMG!!!!!! LOL...this has to be the funniest post ever. I have been to the blog like 5 times today because the pictures crack me UP...I can't get enough. Oh this is the best. Thanks for making my day.

Posted by: Adrienne | August 01, 2009 at 12:54 AM

I respectfully request photo(s) (depends on what you can get a way with, really) of all three guys in the matching shirts. ASAP, please!

Posted by: Kathy | August 01, 2009 at 01:53 AM

I can't believe how big both boys are now!!

Posted by: Audrie | August 01, 2009 at 04:01 AM

Must. Dip. Them. In. CHEESY-BACON.

Posted by: Chicky Chicky Baby | August 01, 2009 at 09:25 AM

Who is the charming young man in the first half of the post? Where did he come from? Who does he think he is looking all grown up like that?

Posted by: Amelia Sprout | August 01, 2009 at 10:01 AM

oh my dang-that was so freaking funny!

Posted by: Heather | August 01, 2009 at 10:18 AM

CUTTTEE!!!!! Let us all know when "Not Me" moves into your house... I believe it started around 4 and 5 here...... Dude if I ever catch him with all the stuff he has done in my house.... I hate that little F*%$#R!!!!!! :-)

Posted by: DeAnn | August 01, 2009 at 01:15 PM

i just happen to passby and visit your site through my friends list too. i cant resist but really say these kids are really gorgeous.

Posted by: aterhea | August 01, 2009 at 02:08 PM

Be prepared for none of Noah's pants to fit at the end of the summer! First day cold enough to wear pants last year & I had to go on an emergency shopping trip for my 3.5 year old.

Posted by: yasmara | August 01, 2009 at 03:26 PM

Where did Noah's baby fat go? Did Ezra eat it or something?

Posted by: Leah | August 01, 2009 at 06:10 PM

I adore Zoolander! "Blue Steel" and "I've got the black lung" are staples around here.

And I love the making out with the refrigerator. My daughter does that with the stove!

Posted by: Kendra | August 01, 2009 at 06:48 PM

"Moisture is the essence of wetness... and wetness is the essence of beauty."

Ezra totally gets it, man.

Posted by: cassie | August 01, 2009 at 07:25 PM

Okay, de-lurking only to say that I'm 22 years old, and I have to admit that my Build-a-Bear lamb wears the same overalls as Noah's bear.

That is all.

Sickness might have made me post this. But it's the truth.

Posted by: Carly | August 01, 2009 at 07:46 PM

Yes all of a sudden Noah looks 15 with legs as long as, um. . .a 15 year olds. (Not so good with that simale, sorry it's late).

Seriously, I almost didn't recognize him!

Hilarious captions as always :-)

Posted by: samantha jo campen | August 01, 2009 at 11:03 PM

Is it ok if I eat your baby? I mean that in the best of all possible ways :)

Posted by: Suzanne | August 02, 2009 at 12:38 AM

Oh, I SEE THAT LIZARD. Lurking in the background.

Yes I do.

Posted by: the new girl | August 02, 2009 at 06:35 AM

Your kids are adorable, and DAMN you are one funny woman. I've got to stop reading this blog because after having 3 kids in less than three years, my bladder can't take it.

Posted by: Chickenpig | August 02, 2009 at 12:41 PM

Ezra is merely channeling my desire to make out with your fridge. I knew that kid and I had a connection.

Posted by: kdiddy | August 02, 2009 at 01:20 PM

Who is that first child?

His face sort of kind of resembles that little boy you called Noah. But, well, he is entirely too NOT A BABY to be that kid.

Posted by: Miss Britt | August 02, 2009 at 01:33 PM

lmao, that was great!
i think ezra was licking the fridge because "Moisture is the essence of wetness, and wetness is the essence of beauty."

Posted by: cate | August 02, 2009 at 11:05 PM

Love how Noah's shorts, the bear's overalls and Ezra's diaper cover all match, like it's a real little ad campaign.

Posted by: Kelly | August 03, 2009 at 02:08 AM

Delicious!

Posted by: liz | August 03, 2009 at 11:26 AM

this comment is titled:

isn't it hysterical to happen upon these fantastic photos and fantastically witty one-liners?

alternate title:
dern those kids are cute!

Posted by: mpotter | August 03, 2009 at 11:29 AM

Inexplicable colon use aside, very silly post. They do like to ham it up for the cameras, don't they? The photo of Noah threatening to punch someone in the neck is particularly funny!

Posted by: Parsing Nonsense | August 03, 2009 at 12:03 PM

Love it! Those male models are fabulous. So good to see Noah

Posted by: Heather | August 03, 2009 at 01:58 PM

Love it! Those male models are fabulous. So good to see Noah

Posted by: Heather | August 03, 2009 at 01:58 PM

"Mer-MAN!"

Yes, we are dorks too. Pleasedtameetcha.

Posted by: Missie | August 03, 2009 at 02:29 PM

The shirt Noah is wearing is adorable! I love it... and the photos are fantastic. They are getting big.

Posted by: rachel | August 03, 2009 at 03:34 PM

I cracked up at "haven't eaten in minutes". Criminy he's adorable! Noah is way cool, of course. Can he do Blue Steel?

Posted by: Elizabeth | August 04, 2009 at 09:19 AM

Love your blog, and LOVE your boys!

The pictures are great on their own, but your captions are priceless! My 6 month old daughter also tries to eat her reflection in the mirror (she hasn't seen herself in the fridge yet...plus ours is older and WAY dirtier than yours!)

Posted by: Brooke | August 04, 2009 at 09:31 AM

You crack me up!! I also have a 9 month old boy at home who is almost at the same stage as yours. He gets hungry like that, too. :)

Posted by: Christy Thomas | August 04, 2009 at 12:32 PM

I've been reading you for almost two years now and laugh out loud on a regular basis. This. Is. Hilarious.

Posted by: kaytay | August 04, 2009 at 04:56 PM

It's entirely possible that I'm drunk, but I am crying laughing at this post! You have no idea how much I needed that today! Thanks, doll!

Posted by: Jill | August 04, 2009 at 11:23 PM

Just watched the Gordon Ramsey clip. He makes it look so damn easy! Then your mussels die and the dog pukes everywhere. Could it be that TV lies to us? 'Nah, that's crazy talk! Better luck next time! :)
