shells

December 3, 2010Crafts(0)
I have been working on this necklace and earrings for MONTHS! Seriously! It’s not that it was hard to make or anything, I would just work on it a little, put it away, forget about it and then the cycle would start all over. So I finally remembered I wanted to finish it and I...

baby bedding

I wanted to post the various pieces of bedding we got for the baby's room. I know most of you don't care, but think of this post as something for me! πŸ™‚ I posted a little about the baby's room recently. You can see the bedding a little bit in the room. And for a...

sparks

November 28, 2010Randomness(0)
My dad's dog, Sparks, is the goofiest dog I have seen in a long time. He's about 60 pounds and thinks he's a lap dog. When we were at my dad's house for Thanksgiving, the dog decided he needed to sit on my brother and his girlfriend's laps. See?! Goofy dog! He also rests on...

cookies

November 27, 2010Food(0)
Let me start this by saying I am not a baker. I would love to be a baker, but I have a tendency to want cookies and baked goods more well-done than most people and I don't really like cookies, cake, frosting, or most other goodies that you bake. Now that I am pregnant, though,...

a special ring

November 26, 2010Maddie(0)
For my birthday, Chuck got me a gorgeous ring. I was so surprised because we had said we weren't doing gifts. But this wonderful husband of mine, always surprises me with the best gifts! He got it in pink because (1) I like pink, and (2) because we are having a baby girl. I thought...

a couple wonderful gifts

November 25, 2010Maddie(0)
One of my best friends got me a very thoughtful birthday gift. It was this necklace. She wanted to get me something for the baby, but also something that was for me. I think this was a wonderful compromise of those two things. I have started wearing it every day. It's also a locket, so...

Look at all these wonderful birthday and anniversary cards we received! I tried to set them all up and take a picture. I don't usually do this, but it just seemed like a good year to remember all that I am thankful for. And I know I am mostly thankful for all my loving family...

cheesy beef and rice burritos

November 23, 2010Food(0)
Guess what….I made a Let's Dish meal. This one was burritos. I forgot these were in the freezer, but I am quite glad I found them in there! Here are all the ingredients: First, make the rice. I like to thaw out my salsa (and other ingredients when necessary) by putting hot water in the...

I borrowed this book from a coworker. She said it was one of her favorite books she has ever read. I have heard other people say it was the best book ever, too. So, I wanted to read it. I thought it was good. I wouldn't buy the book and give it to everyone I...

baby's room

November 17, 2010Maddie(0)
I know some of you are dying to see pictures of the baby's room (I have a hard time calling it the “nursery” for some reason). So I snapped a couple this weekend after the baby shower. We got the wall decorations hung that came with the bedding over the crib. I still need to...

first baby shower

November 15, 2010Maddie(0)
My wonderful friends threw a great shower for me over the weekend. Katie is really close to having their third baby and put together most of the shower. She dropped everything off the day before. Unfortunately, Katie didn't end up making it to the shower (she hasn't had the baby yet either), but we had...

a dinner….with gifts

November 8, 2010Maddie(0)
Last week we went to dinner at one of my best friend's house. I work with her husband, so he drove me to his place after work and Katie cooked a delicious dinner (stir fry!). She had a crib mattress for us and some baby girl clothes to go through. Now you aren't going to...

We had a wonderful Halloween and some friends join We had a wonderful Halloween and some friends joined us for trick or treating. 

Alex was a hotdog/skeleton, but took off his mask because he couldn’t see, Dannie was a zombie unicorn and Maddie was a Care Bear. 

Maddie did Dannie’s makeup and Chuck modified a lighted horn we had used in the past for her costume. 

Maddie did her makeup and all her friends were various Care Bears, too. 

The kids got a ton of candy, visited lots of houses, needed to perform a few tricks for their treats and traded candy. 

My kids generously gave me loads of butterfingers. They love me! 

I even found some selfies on my phone the next day. πŸŽƒπŸ§‘
Chuck and I got to celebrate our 19th wedding anni Chuck and I got to celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary a couple days early at the Wild game over the weekend. My work got a suite and we had a wonderful time! 

The game was quite exciting! We were down 0-3 in the first 9:00 of the game, then came back to win it in a shootout in overtime! πŸŽ‰πŸ’πŸ’š

Happy Anniversary, Chuck! I’d choose you again in a heartbeat. ❀️🫢🏻
I turned 43 yesterday. πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ Chuck always gets I turned 43 yesterday. πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ Chuck always gets the big bday numbers for us, but the β€œ3” didn’t arrive on time. So Dannie made him a β€œ3” and he decorated after I went to bed. I even got door streamers like I give the kids. πŸ₯° 

I was definitely spoiled and had a wonderful day! 43 is going to be a great year. 

And thank you to everyone who took a minute out of their day to wish me a happy bday. 🫢🏻

I can’t remember where I came across this one, b I can’t remember where I came across this one, but it was a delightful book about the dress code in middle school and how sometimes what you see happening is not the whole story. Students take action and utilize a podcast for getting their voices heard. Great for growing strong students who want to make a difference and stand up for what they believe in and learning how to create change when it doesn’t seem possible.

I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck I squeezed myself into my wetsuit and helped chuck move our big lift out deeper. The water is so low and in the hopes of not getting the boat stuck on the lift and maybe getting a couple more rides, we managed to get it out a little farther. Thankfully we had a dock section we could move so we could make the lift deeper and still get into the boat.
