It’s done!

It’s 11 pm and Jamie and Terry finished installing the laminate floors less than an hour ago.  We all cheered as the last piece went in as it has been a long, hard 2 days for them.  (And for all of us.)  The celebration will be short-lived as he rented a drywall jack and will begin installing [...]

Grace

I love this picture of Grace.  I love her dirty face because she is ALWAYS dirty.  I love her messy hair because it’s always messy.  We can put it up 10 times a day…but it always looks like this.  I love her smile because this is her smile.  I love the expression on her face [...]

Flooring

Jamie spent today laying flooring in the family room.  He’s hoping to finish it up tomorrow.  His dad and brother in law came up today and thankfully are coming up tomorrow!  Kenna and Jenna are coming too!  Lucy and Grace are very excited.  After tomorrow, all we’ll have is trim and light fixtures and the [...]

I Know a Celebrity!

Many of you know my boss, Rob Solt.  His step-mom is one of the Finalists in the Pillsbury Bake Off Contest.  She’s been in other competitions on the Food Network.  Here’s the recipe for the recipe that got her to the finals.  I haven’t tried it but it looks great!
Congratulations Norita Solt!

I Want To Be 6 Forever!

Lucy was very emotional tonight.  We were playing in the boys room with Lincoln and Gavin (Vaughn and Grace are at Grandma’s).  All the sudden Lucy came up to me scared, sobbing and said, “I don’t want to be 7!  I want to be 6.  I want to be 6 forever.  I don’t want to [...]

Let Him Sleep…

Jenny introduced me to Uppercase Living.  I’ve had this to put on the boys wall for a few weeks now and finally got it done today while mom was here.  It’s been a challenge because I can’t do it when the boys are in bed…and I’m too busy with them to do it when they’re [...]

Lincoln fell into the fish pond head first.  I grabbed him by his ankle and pulled him out.
Daddy warmed him up.
