— Here’s What I Have to Say —

In a few days we are headed to Vail for a ski trip and Paige wanted all of us to have helmets. This is the one I picked for myself. I am sure you aren't surprised by the “pinkness” of it! I also got some boot heaters installed in my ski boots. It's going to...

We just got back from our trip to Mexico. We had a wonderful time and even more wonderful weather. It was in the 80s and sunny and it only rained for about 2 minutes one afternoon. We stayed at Barcelo Maya Palace. They have a number of resorts at Barcelo and Maya Palace was the...

I am a bit funny when it comes to wood. Most people want to find the most perfect piece…not me. I want to find the strangest piece of wood with the most imperfections. I think they have so much more character. I like the knots and the strange colors in wood. So this second pen...

This is a picture of the first pen I turned. I am so proud of myself and so happy with how it turned out! These are two pictures of the same pen, just on different sides. I couldn’t decide which picture I liked better of it! Enjoy!  

One of the boys on Chuck's hockey team quit and his mom was our team manager. I volunteered to take over the job. So this makes me the Mound/Westonka Pee Wee C Team Manager! How fun! I even got myself a pink binder to keep my stuff in! We have lots of games coming up,...

I have a new hobby. And yes, it is something other than stamping. I can hardly believe that! I have starting turning wood. This is where you take a piece of wood and it spins and you shape it. You can make pens, bowls, all sorts of fun things. My hubby’s step mom does it...

Yep. We had our last Christmas event yesterday at Chuck's mom's house. It was a lot of fun. We celebrated chuck's birthday and I made him a cake. (The first cake I have ever made…I usually do cupcakes.) It was called Strawberry Explosion. It consisted of Strawberry cake, strawberry cool whip and real strawberries, another...

I wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year. We had my mom, step dad, brother's and Adam's girlfriend over today for a birthday celebration (For Chuck…who had his birthday today and for Charlie), Thanksgiving dinner and present opening! It was loads of fun. I will get a link to those pictures once I get...

My dear, sweet, wonderful, thoughtful and sneaky husband got me a MacBook! That's correct. You heard right! A MacBook! I have been drooling over these for so long! And after we got iPhones, I knew I wanted one someday. It's been under the tree for weeks….and I didn't have a clue! I am so very...

I wanted to share some wonderful news! My friend Katie and her husband, Chris welcomed a new baby girl, Hannah Sophia to their family on December 22, 2007 at 6:42 AM. She was 7 pounds 5 ounces and 20.5 inches long….and she has red hair! She is so very adorable! As soon as I went...

I was looking through my song list and I came across a song my grandpa sang. He is also playing the bass in the song. I just thought it was fitting for the season! Enjoy! That Christmas Feeling

I saw this browsing online and I thought it was funny! Enjoy!

I while back, I came across some yummy (and healthy) recipes in one of my Fitness magazines. It was healthy comfort foods. We have had a couple of them. I think one of my favorites is the Spicy Chicken Pizza. It's not hard to make and is very yummy. And you don't have to feel...

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving. We went to see Chuck's grandparents in Omaha and Council Bluffs. We were so excited to see snow when we were there! Sadly, there were a bunch of accidents and the snow made driving harder for those coming down, but since we were already there….we liked the snow...

Sunday we had an early Thanksgiving dinner at our house with my dad, step mom, brother and his girlfriend. I have to say….if you have never tried a turkey in a bag you just have to! Jenni-O makes them and they are in the frozen food section. You put them in the oven and forget...

I was so very lucky this year to have so many wonderful celebrations for my birthday. I thought I would share the links to the galleries so you can take a look if you are interested. Chamberlain Celebration Pictures We went to Chuck's mom and step-dad's house for a wonderful Chicken Parmesan dinner. Paige also...

On November 9th we got our first bit of snow. I was so excited! It didn't stay long, but it was fun to see it on the ground and the car and the grill! 🙂

Yay! It's my birthday! I love birthdays! What could make them better? Why celebrating being married to the best guy ever on the same day! He gave me some lovely flowers for our anniversary and my birthday. (I would post a picture, but something seems to be a little off and they aren't working well….)...

This video is really funny. If you have or had a cat, you will appreciate it much more. I hope you get a good laugh…I sure did! Enjoy! Watch the video.

I got an iPhone today for my birthday! I am so very excited. Since we were changing phone companies that means that Chuck got one, too! I will be sending lots of emails! How fun! I just wanted to share!
