Not Lookin' My Best

I woke up this morning feeling a little itchy, to my surprise when I looked in the mirror I didn't quite recognize my self. What I saw was more like 'Craterface', as less like normal Barbie. For those of you that have not seen Grease I have added both his and my picture. Not too cute.....


Needless to say today has been awfully uncomfortable. Although, I don't know if the is a good thing but I'm sadly use to skin problems. . . . so on the brighter side I know it could always be worse. So I guess I'm feelin pretty lucky (and a little itchy)!

Birthday Boy

Colby turned 26 on the 16th of October. He had a pretty relaxed birthday, with a few decorations, watching football with friends, a Halloween costume party, a thoughtful cupcake and some cheesecake. I love you so much honey and am so glad you were born and I get to have you in my life everyday! As my family would say 'love you high as the sky, deep as the ocean, long as the telephone wire'.

Sweet Baby Nate

Ben and Betsy had their fourth sweet kid on September 8th. Shannon and I were able to make the trip out to Virginia to see him on the 16th. He is so cute and hardly ever cries or fusses. I think being the fourth he already is very go with the flow. We spent more of our trip just hanging out, holding Nathan, going to school lunch with Michael and Emma, playing St.Petersburg and being entertained by Sarah. We talked a lot about what kind or personality Nate will have, I think the four of us have done this since Michael was born. The other three are already so different, it will be interesting to see where he'll fit in.

Painting Project

We have been cleaning out the shed in our backyard and planning on tearing it down. But with the kids in town I thought it might be fun to let them paint it. I used some spare white paint to freshen it up for fun painting. This was the result.....

William Thacker's Door




Griffis' Door





I painted both Mom's and my door BLUE. I love it, even though a lot of people have nicely said 'wow that's really blue'. After I finished it reminded me of Hugh Grant's house in Notting Hill. Anyway, I love love love my new door!

Shan- Shanny- Shannon- Sha- Shannyo

No matter what you call her she's awesome, I know several people that agree. I've know Shan now for about fourteen years, enough time to know she's the best friend you can have. I decided to pay a little blog tribute to her.



She is so sweet, funny and very talented. I look up to her more then she knows! She's brave and artistic, which is shown by her successful business (Juniper and Co.). Also she is by far one of the smartest and funniest people I have ever met. I could spend hours just listening to her witty jokes and hilarious honk. Anyone that get the chance to have her in their life is truly bless. Love you Shannyo

Ben and Betsy

I love these two so much, they are the sweetest guys ever! Colby and I were lucky enough to go visit for Easter and the following week. I also go the pleasure to stay an extra week and tend their three sweet kids while they went to Mexico. I say pleasure because that's what it truly was. I love those kids so much and we had a great time! Just to name a few things we did....... basketball, making the cherry trees snow, Phineas and Ferb, ice cream man, Build-a-lot, The OG, swimming in the tub, Five and Below, and snacks. I had such a blast in Virginia! I've been so lucky and grateful to be able to spend so much time with my nieces and nephew, not to mention it's the best compliment that Ben and Betsy trust me with their most special guys! Love all you guys
