I Have So Much To Be Thankful For

So once in every year we throng
Upon a day apart,
To praise the Lord with feast and song
In thankfulness of heart.
~Arthur Guiterman, The First Thanksgiving

True Confessions

It only took two nights of me applying and sleeping in my "new moisterizer" to realize that it was actually a moisterizing cleanser.

- Plus -

I am 98% positive that I walked from the rec center pool to my car with my left boob peeking out of my swimsuit.

What a week.

As If You Don't Get Enough...

Here is more of Haley.
About two hours after I swept and mopped my floors...Haley eating an oatmeal packet she got out of the cupboard and dumped all over the kitchen floor.
Haley with her Great Grandpa. We had a great time with him and my family at our "early Thanksgiving dinner".
JR's favorite picture of Haley. He is really hoping she will be a ball player. You may not be able to tell, but she really is carrying the ball and trying to walk. Yup, she's already got skill.
Haley's "OH!" face, which she makes all day whenever something surprises or excites her. She also makes this face when Daddy comes home from work and then she starts giggling. It is so cute!

Ode To Lacie

I appreciated the birthday hi-jacking, but I also appreciate my privacy. I have changed my blog password in fear of what stories future hi-jacks would include. I can only imagine what other ideas you have in your funny head. Love you, girl!

Get Down and "BOO"gie

We took the kids and visited JR while he was working at the pharmacy. That is one good-looking pharmacist



Bringing back the 70's...and unicorns.

We had so much fun with Lacie and her kiddos.

We went to a carnival at our rec center and trick-or-treating in our new neighborhood where we bought our house. It was amazing! There were tons of kids and people were making treats on thier driveways to hand out. The neighborhood really gets into Halloween!

Halloween Flashbacks

I don't know why JR waits until Halloween to look this hot...

Haley's Trip to the Farm

We went with our Mom's Group to a local farm/petting zoo/pumpkin patch. It was really fun and Haley really liked the animals.

Halloween Flashbacks

My sister, Natalie, and me.
JR and his boy scout buddy, BJ...That's hot!

Wednesday Words

Fill your life with as many moments and experiences of joy and passion as you humanly can. Start with one experience and build on it.
---Marcia Wieder




We had such a great time at JR's work party at the park. Haley tried so many new things. She met a clown and got a balloon animal, went in the bounce house and down the huge blow-up slide (several times), and did the fishing pond. She is such a dare devil. She loves everything and is rarely afraid to do anything. She just giggled the entire time.

Just My Random Opinion That...

1. Tom Cruise may be a real vampire…and not a sexy, good one
2. The Hulk Hogan family should not be allowed to vote
3. If you met your spouse at Club 90, you should lie when asked
4. Reno 911 is the best reality television out there
5. People who watch Dr. Phil should read more
6. Most Red Hot Chili Peppers songs are unintelligible and whiney
7. White chocolate is not chocolate
8. No matter how cute you think your lawn ornaments are, they’re just creepy
9. If you understand Lost, you should increase your medication
10. Every man has a secret fantasy of being a merman
