Maria Kart!

We just got Mario Kart for the Wii last night... so if any of you have it too let us know so we can play online! 

From BJ's Birthday...

More from BJ's Birthday

Well now it's been over a week, but thought I'd still share...

Baby Time

Pray for my friend Kate! She's having a baby boy tomorrow! This will be their second one... Here's my post from when Miss Lilly was born.

We love you Matt & Kate!!!

Obsession

...Layla's obsession with eating what little grass we have...

Layla...

...how much do you like the cats?

Layla...

...how much do you like eating mulch?

Dogwoods & Flowers

I love love love bringing fresh flowers inside - I was able to find these during a walk around our neighborhood. :)

We love you Josh...

...and we miss you. It's hard to believe its been eight years.

I got my hair chopped again...

This is my first real use of my iMac's Photobooth (this is me in my office). How fun! :)

BJ's Birthday

We had a great time this weekend for BJ's birthday.
I had a few surprises in store after the reds game...




(...and if this photo is any indication... we lost)... including a surprise party back at our house. Lots-a fun! :) BJ got a new camera so the best pictures are on it.

Random places...

...in and around our house yesterday... The ampersand was an idea I stole from Pottery Barn - I was so excited to see this at Marshalls for $10. Just a little spray paint (it came gold) and it looks just like the $80 original. :) Now what to do with it....


The little plant will hopefully become a nice pot full of peppers. :)

From our back deck... makes spending eight hours in the car each week worth it. :)

Lazy Afternoon...

These are from yesterday... and pretty much self explanatory.

Earthquake!

For a second I thought... maybe BJ has laundry going and the load is off balance. There is just NO WAY its an earthquake. No. Way. I'm dreaming this or I'm off my rocker.

Happy (early) Birthday BJ!

Tomorrow is BJ's 27th birthday! Happy birthday hubby!!! :)

Congratulations Chad!

You're a rockstar. :)

Ignite Retreat

BJ and I spent the weekend with our high school students at the Ignite Retreat. Here's some of my favorite photos... we love these kids!






This one is the absolute best... here's BJ impersonating the creepy gnome.

Above our mantle...

...is this awesome photo that BJ took by our pond. I *heart* it. :) If you couldn't tell I love the color scheme of black, tan, and white. I know its boring but I just love it! :)

Photo Wall

Here's the photo wall I put together in our dining room (actual photos hopefully coming soon) with IKEA frames. If this looks easy to do... it wasn't.

Important Update!

BJ just called - he just bought two more trees. Now we have 110 new trees. I'm telling you - I need to put together an INTERVENTION. :)
