You know it’s bad when your almost 2 year old says to you, in a somewhat sing-songy voice, “Youuuu Whoooo,” to get your attention. That, she’s learned from her 4 year old brother. 4 year olds talk ALOT. Sometimes, as much as you don’t want to, you begin to tune them out…especially late in the […]
it’s becoming (shout out KL) my life statement these days. furthermore, why is it that when a mom gets sick, she just has to keep going? there is no option of laying in bed, sleeping, someone making soup, t.v. watching until she’s better. i’d like to talk to the person who started that trend. it’s […]
Chad is the realistic one in our family and I am the dreamer. I have these “tendencies”…(shout out to KL; pump the shoulder twice and peace sign)…to float through life on my little cloud…imagining of all the things I want to do. There is a running joke amongst some of my friends, where they have […]

I sort of told myself that I would never put poetry on this blog. I don’t really know why…except because. Sometimes I find that nothing follows my because. I try to come up with a good sentence to follow, but I draw blanks. Because. That’s all there is. Anyhow, this weekend, I have been in […]
we were 6 1/2 and 3 1/2 and the flowergirl and ringbearer in my aunt’s wedding getting older… …and still as close. …a couple of days late. So, technically, National Sibling’s Day was 2 days ago but I am just getting around to posting this little tribute to my little brother, Kevin. At about 11:45pm […]
The other night at dinner, Colton made his first and hopefully last racial slur. We had been reading and discussing the Easter story being that Easter was upon us and Colton had some questions reguarding Jesus’ ethnicity. Colton asked if Jesus was white or brown. Chad answered that Jesus was not white, not black, but […]
Colton’s friend Anna Marie…controlling the blood loss Last night, Anna Marie and her family were over for dinner. The kids were sword fightning in the living room, and Anna Marie’s loose tooth decided to become a bother. Her mom gets the willies, so she told me to see if Anna Marie would let me wiggle […]
