Park Fun

Leanne came over yesterday and we walked our delicious children to the park to have some play time. It was an excellent opportunity to snap some photos of the cutest littles ones EVER. So here it goes. I also have them set up on my woomp so you can check all of [...]

One of My Passions

Some of you might not know this about me but even though I’m a professional (that word is to be taken rather loosely) home-maker, I’m actually a hairdresser by trade.
I knew I was going to do hair all the way back in high school when Courtenay, Sean and I all had the same haircut and [...]

Swimmen in Da Pool

Silas the great was “swimmen in da pool” the other day at the Hotel.  Brent’s parents were here and we always love to take advantage of a quiet pool and the extra hands available and get the boys in the water.  They sure love it.  A few weeks ago Silas was really tentative about swimming [...]

B.L.A.S.P. - ing

With every birth of a child comes a small yet significant perk for the mother.  Her body cycles slowwww down and take a little break from crazy fertility land into a nice, calm land where you don’t have to worry about cycles and late-night trips to the drug store.  It’s really the only good thing [...]

No Longer a One-Trick Pony

Well, it’s happening. Ikey is gracefully sliding into a….well…a person. He’s no longer just some leech that wiggles and sucks me dry. He’s actually doing quite a lot. Much to my obvious dismay.
He’s mastered our stair case and will b-line his way to it at any open opportunity. He’s does [...]

Laura asked : Are you stopping Thursday’s Thirteen? You [...]

Missing Music

I’m missing this a lot right now

That was taken at a talent show back in my Bible College days. We won. The other singer’s name is Mark and Stacy was on the piano, although I originally sung that song with a guy named Aaron. (Apparently I always lick my lips like a [...]
