Juuuuuust a bit too small for this rig!

Tummy Time

Tummy Time is going MUCH better. We even get some smiles every once in a while! Also, mister man can roll onto his back....but then is stuck there :)

Welcome to the 21st Century!!

Ok, anyone that has known me long enough knows I never felt the need to have a cell phone. I have a work phone with me 4 days a week, so what, am I going to pay $50 a month for the 10 minute drive to/from work? Um, no! My softball team would give me crap because they had no way of letting me know if they would be late for a game. Tough, show up on time then :) Plus, if I had one, my wife would be able to keep tabs on me! We can't have that now, can we? Well, having a child changed all that. Actually, it was this article that finally convinced me to get one:

So, there it is. I am now officially a part of the real world. No, I'll not be posting my # here...my voicemail wouldn't have enough space for all the crap I am about to take. I am, however, now accepting applications to be in my Fave Five...whatever that means :)

An Homage To The Felines In The Fam!

NOT Martha Stewart Or Even Close...

Ok, so we all know I do not have that Martha Stewart eye... the one where you can just put a room together using items you find here and there and make it all come together.. Well here was our first attempt to warming up our front door.. Jesus, it looks like it is on fire!! This was supposed to be a pumpkin spice color orange.. to me it looks like someone plugged it in. LOOK OUT MARTHA HERE I COME!

So we ended up repainting it after I lost sleep....

Kappa Kappa....

I just got home from two nights away, on a girls trip up north! It was hard to leave the little man, especially with him being all smiley lately, but I knew he was in good hands with Dad! Six of us gals (myself, Eryn, Connie, Toni, Danni Lynn and Special K) headed up on Sunday morning and got back late Tuesday afternoon. What a riot! The entire 48 hours we were up there was filled with hysterics. You know... when you laugh so hard and no sound comes out!?! That was us the ENTIRE time. We are a tight knit group and fit together very well... everyone has their role in our crew and it just works. It is not very often you find that! We got about 30 minutes north of Hopkins and had to make our first stop for a Bloody Mary!
Connie and her daughter Special K (Kristen)

Third pit stop was at the Blue Goose in Milacs! Prior to that we stopped at Grand Casino Mille Lacs where Eryn and I WON on the Turkey Shoot slot machine... Gobble, Gobble..
Had to play "The Claw" where we won this gorgeous stuffed star which we named Goose! Goose hung with us the whole rest of the trip!

This was some random guy that drove past our patio... we stopped him and Connie was the lucky lady who received a ride. A twenty minute ride that apparently would give Six Flags a run for their money. Poor thing came back in tears and needed a neck brace. Thank goodness she was wearing a helmet. We hid from him the rest of the trip...

The mosquito's were unreal! I can't even explain how many there were inside and out. I even had them in the shower with me...

Uh oh.. commotion over by the pool.. little girl screaming head off... her stupid mom let her pet a SNAPPING TURTLE and she got bit. Idiot. So we captured him with a broom and laundry basket and tossed him in the woods. 8 hours later as Connie and I were taking a midnight swim (ok 1:00am) in the pool, we bumped into him again.. literally....swimming with us in the pool. Idiots!
