Nathan and Autumn hit the Level 1 prize stop with the Library Reading Program
Well, after about three trips to the library, we FINALLY made it to the first prize stop with the library’s summer reading program. Yay! I am really enjoying this program because it is reminding me that I need to read to my kids every day! Today I picked up books for Nathan about ‘going to… >> View Post
A few of Auttie’s ‘Most Favorite Things’
I am starting to grow found of Little Gym night at the mall. Why? Because I like to eat junk. Yes, I look forward to my Starbucks frap and salty pretzel all day long at work. I need serious help. I turned in my free drink coupon that I won on my receipt last week… >> View Post
Autumn’s 7 month professional pictures
Since I had such great luck with Nathan for his 3 year old pictures at JCPenney’s in May, I decided to take Autumn there for her 7 month pictures today. Hmmm, yes, it did go better with Nathan, but he is also not going through ‘stranger anxiety’. Of course, Autumn loves to nap, but oh… >> View Post
Fantastic morning… Horrible night…
I finally got a chance to drive out to St. Peter’s to see my friend Terri’s house. The house was her husband Steve’s before they got married, and she has been living there since they’ve been married. I am a horrible friend as they got married over a year ago, and I finally made it… >> View Post
Autumn is sitting up in her baby tub now!
Ok, I know, I know, I have been posting a lot of pictures of Autumn lately, but, the girl is doing something new every day! Lately, she has been sitting up in her baby tub all by herself. Today I had to snap some pictures of her sitting up in the water. This one is… >> View Post
Watch out! Autumn is on the move!
Well, Autumn is on the move as of yesterday. She can go from lying down to sitting now, and she can also scoot her body backwards with her hands. She actually scooted herself down the entire hallway tonight! Wow! But, does scooting count as crawling(she isn’t moving her two back legs yet)? Well, even if… >> View Post

Little Gym, Spencer the Train and Free Clothes for Nathan!
Today we had Nathan’s Little Gym class, and I must say that Nathan LOVES that the Little Gym moved into the mall. You all know how *I* feel about the Little Gym moving into the mall. Now, I walk by Starbucks and I have to get a drink there, so that is $3.50 down the… >> View Post
Jeff and Tracy’s 5th of July Party!
My brother and his wife had a BBQ at their house today instead of yesterday because of all of the rain we had. This is the first time my brother has ever cooked (well, BBQ’ed) for me and it was FANTASTIC! I was in shock! Haha! Maybe it will rub off on Jeremi! hee, hee!… >> View Post
Nathan meets Fireworks
Jeremi brought home a big brown bag of fireworks for Nathan (and me!) to enjoy. Nathan has never seen fireworks before, and let me just say… he is a pyro-crazed boy now! Heehee! These were always my favorite as a kid, the charcoal black worms. Nathan had no idea what these little magical black capsules… >> View Post
Happy 4th of July! Here is a black bean salsa recipe…
Happy 4th of July! I am going to share a recipe with my bloggy friends today. My brother is having a 4th of July bbq for us tomorrow at his house so I decided it was a good excuse to make John Deere Mom’s black bean salsa recipe! I did modify her recipe a bit,… >> View Post
