It's really flabbergasting for me to think that it has been a whole 9 years since my son was born. NINE YEARS?!? Where has this time gone? My parents sure weren't kidding when they said the older you get the fast time goes by. It's most definitely true. At 11:45pm tonight, my baby big boy will be turning 9. Happy Birthday Buddy, we love you!!! … [Read more...]
I probably could have saved this for a Wordless Wednesday post but I just felt the need to share. Last week my daughter received a very special gift in the mail, thanks to the American Girl Giveaway we won at Kristen's blog. (Thank you Kristen) This typically wouldn't be a big deal but it was a special moment for me. Growing up, I remember the American Girl dolls very, very well. I use to sit with … [Read more...]
I know this doesn't seem all that significant but given the fact that we don't have a pool and I never taught my kids to swim (I don't even know how to swim) I thought it was pretty cool that my son managed to go under water in my sister's pool. The last time we were over there he was a little freaked out and wasn't sure how to hold his breath under water. … [Read more...]
The other day our family went to a birthday party at my sister's house ... my niece turned the big 12! On a side note, it's crazy how quickly those kids are growing up. It seems like it was just yesterday that she was a toddler and now she's nearly as tall as me. So anyways, this time of year we get a ton of cicadas (big, ugly, loud bug in the trees). You can hear them all day and all night buzzing … [Read more...]
Or I should say corndoggy. In case you missed my collection of State Fair Sweet and Savory Eats over at Oh My! Sugar High, here's a little miniaturized recap. But I highly suggest venturing over to the other blog to see them in full view, they're worth it! Since yesterday was Mattison's first full day of school, we decided to take the girls out for a day at the Illinois State Fair. We just … [Read more...]
Wow, this has been a crazy three days. Just the other day the Springfree trampoline was delivered and we started on day 1 of installation. What should only take 2 hours from start to finish, actually has taken us 3 days due to excessive heat. So I left off by setting up the frame and legs. Day two started with replacing a bolt that my husband accidentally stripped. I will not rehash my back and … [Read more...]
Jon will never ever admit this is him under that princess diaper, but I assure you this is my goofy husband. A lot of people don't get to see the "daddy side" of his personality. Typically the people that meet my husband are either on the receiving end of a traffic ticket, in handcuffs or taking orders from him. So I'd say we're pretty lucky to get to see the goofball that wears diapers on his head … [Read more...]
If I had to sum up the events of last night in one word, I would have go with terrifying. After having already lost one child, I know it's not something I can ever deal with again. I'm mentally not able to cope with that kind of loss ever again. People always tell you, God won't give you more than you can handle, and maybe they're right. When Gavin died 10 years ago, I thought that was my breaking … [Read more...]
Recently, eLivingMedia, a new website built by established blogger and friend, Lori Falcon was launched. Stepping outside of the "mom blogger" world, eLivingMedia captures the interests of just about everyone. My favorite part of the website thus far is the community blogger forum. It's a fresh and new growing community that just added an section for photography lovers. Now that my broken camera drama … [Read more...]
