Sarah’s baby shower

Isn’t she beautiful?  This is my friend Sarah.  She’s been my friend for such a long time and I absolutely love her.  See that belly?  Only about a month until her little guy is due to arrive!

And this is Sarah’s husband Brandon.  There just aren’t many things as exciting as a couple expecting [...]

Kindle Review

Hey guys!  My friend Ali was lucky enough to receive a Kindle from her husband for her first Mother’s Day.  Isn’t that awesome?  Nice work, Troy!  Very impressive.  Surely you guys remember Ali from previous blog posts?  She had twin girls – Frankie and Neve – this past December.  And just because I’m a mom [...]

We’re going to miss her

My friend Alisa is going to be moving over the next week or so.  She’s staying in Iowa, but it just won’t be the same here after she leaves.  We won’t be the same.

Did you know Alisa is a gifted photographer among other things?  She is. 

We like to go [...]

Baby shower

I was fortunate enough to have a baby shower thrown in my honor last Saturday.

A tradition at our church is that the first baby born to a couple “in the church” gets a baby shower.  We started attending New Hope when Jett was about 5 months old, therefore no babies of [...]

Phillippe’s 30th

Saturday afternoon we attended a birthday bash for our friend Phillippe.  It was at a park in town. 

That is Phillippe’s lovely wife Amanda getting the candles lit.

Here’s a picture of Phillippe and his little girl, Gabriela.  Isn’t she sweet?

When you get to be 30, it takes [...]

A new blog!

I’m so excited to be presenting a new blog to you.  My friend Jess, who I’ve just been waiting to start a blog, has started a blog!  You can imagine my glee.  Here’s the address: http://colloquyofcommoners.blogspot.com.

This is a picture I took of Jess a little over a year ago.  The little [...]

The LAW

I’ve been meaning to tell you guys about a strange dinner date I had with some college girlfriends awhile ago.  Believe it or not, it was not my friends that made it strange.

We arrived at a restaurant, had great food, better conversation.  We only get together a couple of times a year, so it’s [...]

Cross-blogging

Two moms, five kids, two cameras, and one park.  Oh, and more importantly,  two blogs between us. 

We met my friend Holly – AKA the Prairie Princess – and her chil’en at our local park.

Check out her blog Hillbilly Hilarity, like now!  And make it a regular stop.  Because she’s my friend.  And [...]

It’s a boy!

We had our other ultrasound this morning and found out we’re having another boy!  Here’s a picture:

What you’re looking at is two legs, and in between… well, you do the math! :)

I’m still without a scanner, so here is another printout that I snapped with my camera:

More importantly [...]

Crashed & burned

It’s not that I didn’t want to blog yesterday.  I did.

I was sitting with laptop firmly in lap yesterday morning, figuring and inputting more of our tax return online, when all of a sudden, my computer froze.  The kind of freeze that not even Ctrl+Alt+Delete doesn’t help.  So I forced ‘er down and tried [...]
