Good Food and Family Fun

As I mentioned before, I LOVE going out and having fun with my family. And I can’t think of a better combination than family and RED LOBSTER. Generic as it is, this is my very FAVORITE place to eat and coincidently, it’s my Dad’s favorite place to eat also. So where did I take my [...]

Being Thankful and Learning Lessons

Being thankful should be a part of my every day – yet somehow it isn’t always foremost in my mind. On a daily basis, I can constantly think about things I need, or need to do, or need to get done, or want to do, or want to have, or want to need to do.  [...]

Summer Lovin’

So I guess I have to admit that I’ve been a bloggin slacker. I could blame it on having a kid, but it’s been nearly 5 months since he was born. Or I could blame it on the fact that we have been enlarging our backyard to about 4 times the size in was before [...]

“You wanna fight?” “If you insist…”

Yep. We are totally fighting. There’s bloodshed. And tears. And even yelling. But no bloodshed. Mostly because the fights have been on the phone. And there hasn’t been any yelling. Not yet. But there will be, you bet yer butt there will be. Why, you ask? Well, I’ll fill you in really quick…
Back in April, [...]

In Arizona, this IS a necessity!

When thinking about what constitutes a “need” and what fills in the gap as a “want”, I’ve made up my mind.
I need this.
And so does my son. And my husband. That’s all.
Here’s the setup process:
Go get loads of sand from the local wash.
Level (I mean REALLY level) out the ground.
Put down a tarp.
Wait in vain [...]

Just An Update

Thought ya might like some pictures of the new one, I know I can’t get enough of looking at him (funny how that is). I realize that I’m not very good at functioning or thinking rationaly when I don’t get enough sleep – I’m a little selfish that way. Mr. B is the BEST big [...]

A Baby Story

Ok, so this blog entry has been about 3 weeks in the making. Every chance I get, I sit down and try to get this story out, but as soon as I get a sentence or two written, something ALWAYS calls me away from the computer. Needless to say, the story might have a few [...]

He’s Here!!!!

Well, after a long and rather nasty labor, Oliver Ray was born on May 5th, at 1:51 a.m. My brother Michael called it at LONG time ago, he said the Baby O would be a Cinco De Mayo baby, and it happened. At least it’s an easy date to remember.
I’ll have to post about the [...]

Tomorrow’s The Day!!

Well, tomorrow is the date set for my induction, and I have to tell you that I am SOOOOOO excited about it!! It is a little hard to see people’s faces when I tell them that I’m getting induced, because EVERYONE has an opinion about it and very few of them have been positive. It’s [...]

A Baby Shower!!

Well, this past week has been INCREDIBLY busy, and last week I had company, so I have had a hard time sitting down and posting anything lately. I also have very slow internet which makes dowloading pictures and doing anything fun with my blog a little, well, LESS fun. Since I’m here now, I’ll give [...]
