  • A switch story.

    Let there be light. 

    One day, I flipped the switch, a spark flew, and I almost melted. Ok, not really melted, but it was dramatic. Being the decisive person I am, I chose a light fixture only after 2.5 months of no light. I then harassed my poor husband into installing this beauty. C will be the first to announce instructions written by robots LIE. (They said 1 hour I believe), 4 and half hours later and with the help of an ex-electronics engineer from the marine core, (thank you Steve!!) This opening of the heavens was a functioning member of our household. I can’t tell you how I want to jump for joy at the flip of a switch.

  • Bodega Bay

    Bodega Bay

    We went to Bodega Bay with VERY brave family last week. It was unforgettable and the best time-truly. Too much fun and such a special time with some of our favorite peeps. Thank you J & M, R & R!!

    The trip was made possible by a ton-o-prayer and a trusty and worth-every-penny portable DVD player. Seriously, the smartest thing anyone has ever figured out, EVA.

    Disclamimer: These are totally out of order, and I am totally too tired to do anything about it. And my husband has all sorts of ideas about how incorrect my english is, but nothing is getting revised. 🙂

     View from balcony. SWEET!
    I mini island about 100 yrds away.  
     Cutest and sweetest little girl-love you baby K!
     Can you guess whose he is? 
     HURRY! Take a picture!!! They are playing for longer than 34 seconds! 
     Happy family
     My sweet in-laws! How cute are they?
    How awesome is it that our close friends get to be family too? Doesn’t really get much better.
    Weeman hasn’t gotten with the “smile when taking picture program” quite yet.
    AWHhhhh. cute!
     Mom, pink strollers are totally in style for weemen like myself. {please don’t put this on your blog}
     I wish I could say it was windy. But the trees just grow that way…or it might be the wind. It is a chicken and egg thing. 
     Yes folks, that would be my father in law wearing SHORTS in 39 degree weather. And pointing to the fact no socks were cool in 1979 are cool. 🙂
     Flying a kite that every so often dive bombed, hence why I am 100 feet away. I was a wuss. 
    Ah, the joy of binoculars. Bought us 20 minutes.
     
    Another balcony view.
    Our kids always look so thrilled to claim us as parents… 
    Isn’t she perty? 

    Squirrel!

    How Weeman tells us, “enough!”

    The moral of this story-We will never have a perfect family photo.

  • Little Stink

    He is a funny one. No one tells you how funny the fruit of your loins are. (well-Big Stinks literally-but whatever.)

    2 things that made me har, har, har out loud today.

    1)
    B: “Mom, I want to be back in your tummy and be a baby”
    Me: “oh Bubba, that was the most beautiful time in my -“
    B: Mommmay! UHM. Can I have a vimamin? (vitamin)

    2)
    B: “Daddy, I am going to put my stink on you.” {yack}

    Now, as I type,  he is trying to reinvent the velcro stap contraption on his shoe. Should I tell him velcro is a one trick pony?

    Flashback Friday

    The hot piece of tail on the right would be my husband. That is right ladies. Be jealous.

  • Change that changes lives

    This basically just kept me out of 4 padded walls. Snickers-come to mama.
