A visit from Grandma & Grandpa

My dad and stepmom were in the process of moving from Ohio to Oregon and they stopped by for a short visit. A very short visit. They got here Monday evening, were here Tuesday and then left Wednesday morning. It was great getting adjusted by my dad and it was a very nice to catch up with them. They also brought me my grandpa's desk that is now sitting nicely in the middle of my living room (until I find it a permanent home). It's nice to have this little piece of my grandpa in my home. He was a great man and I love having it here.

I didn't think the day would ever come!

This weekend it was finally warm enough...








It was a happy day! :)

On a happier note...

I just need to say that I don't know what in the world I would do without my friends. Tonight I was in need of a mini muffin pan so I called Tara. I knew if she didn't have one, she would know who would. I was right. Tara didn't have one but she gave me a list of people who would. The first person I called had one. So I ran to Leslie's house to pick up the mini muffin pans. While I was there I was explaining how I had been looking for the liners for the mini muffin pans. (Those things weren't as easy to find as I thought!) Leslie suggested Bed, Bath & Beyond. Leslie, you're a genius! Not only did they have them, but we were able to see a man peeing in the parking lot! Tara, I'm sad you're moving. I don't know what I'm going to do without you! And Leslie, you better not move any time soon or I'd have to... to... well I don't know just what I'd do. Just don't move! Thanks girls.

Something else we saw...

Tonight Chris and I ran to Bed, Bath & Beyond to get something and then we saw something when we were in the parking lot getting into the car. About 2 parking spots over there was a guy standing next to his truck and he had his little wee wee hanging out and he was peeing in the parking lot. I thought to myself, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, DUDE? THAT'S DISGUSTING!!! Too bad I didn't have my camera this time! :)

We saw the funniest thing the other day!

Megan and I were picking Sidney up from a friend's house and in their neighbor's driveway was this sight. I'm glad I had my camera because I thought it was so funny to see this fox maxin and relaxin on top of a car! Only in Colorado!

7 Facts About Myself

1. I love sleeping in. I am counting down the days till school is out so I can sleep in EVERY SINGLE DAY this summer. The joy of it is that my kids will sleep in too!

2. When I was young I was convinced that I was going to have 6 kids. I don't know what the heck I was thinking! I had Sidney and the realities of motherhood hit me like a ton of lead bricks! I think two is a really good number for me!

3. I rarely sweep my kitchen floor. Seriously, like once a week if that! I hate sweeping! So when you come to my house don't look at my kitchen floor because chances are, it's pretty gross! (I just thought of a new chore for the girls!)

4. I am a VERY competitive person. We just started a biggest loser at school till the end of the year and I plan on annihilating every single person in the competition.

5. I love windy days. I think this stems from my childhood. My dad had a sailboat and we were out sailing on Sandusky Bay all the time. I loved sitting on the bow of the boat and feeling the wind on my face. To this day I love wind. (unless it's cold wind, of course!)

6. I'm a school librarian and I don't like to read. I very rarely read books for my own pleasure and enjoyment. Weird.

7. I love football. I love having a fantasy team. I love watching football no matter who's playing. I am really looking forward to football season coming back in the fall. Life just isn't the same without football!

Megan's turn

Megan decided it was time for a hair cut. We went over to the Paul Mitchell School where my friend Cori works, and finally chopped her hair off. She decided to donate her hair to Locks of Love, so they chopped off 10 inches. Haircuts are fun! It just might be time for me to do it too.
