Times are changing...

Hope has been reading for a while - but just recently starting reading books all by herself. Yesterday she was reading out loud to her little brother. She was reading The Very Hungry Catepillar. I used to read that book to her almost every day when she was little and now she's reading it to Jack. It's so strange how fast things change...

That's not right...

Jack cries every time he hears me sing.

He laughs every time he sees me stub my toe.

That's messed up.

A few of my favorite things

The last week has been very busy. Here’s a list of some of my new favorite things (in no particular order):

1. Pandora Radio
2. No Country for Old Men
3. Peonies
4. Automatic Pencils
5. Mini Sharpies
6. Enchanted
7. Running the Switcher
8. Spider Solitaire
9. Coffee with KT
10. People emailing me to make sure I'm still alive because I haven't blogged in "forever" (Hello, it's only been a week people)
11. A Double Tall Decaf Sugar Free Vanilla Cappucino (sadly, it has to come from Starbucks - and they still don't remember my name even though my drink is super high maintenance now)
12. Coldplay
13. Watching and laughing as the idiot who just cut me off and flipped me off gets pulled over (is that bad?)
14. People who wink when they talk (well..... it would actually be more accurate to say that one of my favorite things is to invent reasons WHY people wink when they talk and then tell everybody what my reasons are - as though they are actual reasons; wink-wink).
15. The freedom that came from finally telling the "Dude, those are some Big Panties" story.
16. http://stufffchristianslike.blogspot.com/
17. The product line "Big Sexy Hair"

Jack is 2 today!

It's hard to believe that he's two years old aready. How is it that the days can sometimes drag on forever, but the years fly by?

Here are a few pictures of our journey with him so far.

We love our little man...

Happy Birthday Jack - we love you so much!!

The Beauty of being a Mom

Of course, this isn't the only great thing about being a Mom; but let's be honest - it is a pretty nice little perk (even if the trueness of it is only observed on Mother's Day).

Happy Mother's Day to all you Moms; enjoy your day of being right about everything!

My little artist

Hope did this canvas for me for Mother's Day. I love it!

For KT...

Potluckin' at its best; or worst. I'm not sure which...

This is it ladies and gentlemen.

The essence of Potluck.
