Ryan's 38th Birthday!

Funny story. I was in the kitchen chopping veggies when I decided to stop paying attention and chop the pad off my middle figure! Ouch. It also happened to be the same day of Ryan's birthday. So after meeting Dr. Breath (seriously - he had no personal space) and a few stitches later...I had this lovely finger that automatically flipped everyone off! Two wonderful friends came to my rescue. One took me for stitches and the other baked Ryan's beautiful birthday cake!

The lovely fingernail design and smiley face were compliments of my boss and a Sharpie marker which attracted even more attention. (And you thought he was working...)

Happy Birthday Honey!

Pinewood Derby Time

Here's the latest Pinewood Derby masterpiece. It flew so fast it jumped the track on the second run, ruined a wheel and didn't place. But its time was smokin'!

UPDATE - Ryan's Project

Ryan started this project last month. It is still a work in progress but is looking good! I was afraid it would make the room look smaller but it actually appears to be bigger. Eventually he will make doors to cover most of the bottom and there will be a few doors/cubbies above the television as well. I have been waiting for almost 15 years to cover that STUPID huge speaker box you see on the bottom. I hated the way it looked but it is killer when you're playing RockBand! It's lookin' good honey!

REWIND - Merry Christmas 2008

Have you ever seen anything sweeter?

Boy does she have you fooled!

REWIND - Gracie Lou Who?

So our ward Christmas party was based on Dr. Seuss characters. We fixed Audrey and Grace's hair like a WHO from Whoville. They looked cute!

REWIND - Christmas Cookies

Bring back any memories?

REWIND - Playdough

The boys were so fond of their playdough garages they made me take pictures. I remember making little toilets and filling them with water.

REWIND - Seriously?

So I had washed my car inside and out and it looked beautiful. I decided to offer to vacuum Ryan's work truck out while I was in the driveway. This is what I found. Underneath of that wasn't any better! Seriously?

REWIND - Happy Fall Y'all

I think this was the first year our trees were big enough to produce enough leaves for Grace to jump in. She had fun!
