Last night, my parents were kind enough to watch the kids at our house while Jeremi and I got to go out on our actual anniversary night. Where did we go? Do you need to ask? The Melting Pot! We love this place, its romantic, cozy and great food! Here is a picture that the… >> View Post

Easter party at the Teacher’s Lounge
There is a store near our house called the Teacher’s Lounge… I heart this store, and I take Nathan there for their story time every chance I get. Today we lucked out because they were having an Easter party during their story time! First the kids got to color and look at how much Nathan… >> View Post
Crabby Patties
I am starting to plan Nathan’s 4th birthday party, and the theme is SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS. I have been researching food options, and since Spongebob makes crabby patties (hamburgers) at his work, I thought burgers would be a great option! I found this really neat recipe on Allrecipes.com and basically they are mini burgers that you… >> View Post
2010 Dyed Eggs
Today was a rainy day so I decided this would be a perfect day to dye eggs with the kids. Nathan was so excited to dye eggs with Spongebob and Autumn was just excited to be messy! Here is Nathan ready to color his eggs! We let Autumn take an egg, but she wanted the… >> View Post
Purina Farms, Washington, MO and Taxes!
We decided to go to Purina Farms today instead of on Sunday, because the forecast said Saturday would be 65 and Sunny and Sunday would be all day rain. Well, I guess the weather can change because it was COLD!! But, we still had fun on our day at Purina Farms. I haven’t been to… >> View Post
Hours and hours of fun…
Nathan has had a Little Tikes plastic slide and swing set since his first birthday, and we have kept it downstairs in the playroom on the blue foam padded mat. Well, while Autumn was napping, I decided to unscrew the swing from off of the slide, so that I could just bring the slide upstairs… >> View Post
5k at the St. Louis Zoo!
So, I am really digging this whole running thing (Thanks, Laura), and so… I decided it is time to run my FIRST 5k race! I cannot wait, but I must admit… I am slightly nervous. I can run 3.5 miles, but I have never ran that far outside. It is in late May so I… >> View Post
2010 Easter Bunny Picture (and, past pictures!)
Today I took the kids to the mall to see Mr. Easter Bunny… Nathan did his usual dear in headlights face, and Autumn screamed. It was just exactly what I had expected, and, yet… it is still a photo that is just simply precious! :o)- So, here they are… Easter Bunny 2010 – Nathan ran… >> View Post
Happy Birthday, Jeremi!
Jeremi’s birthday is not until tomorrow… but, my mom, the kids and myself were very busy with preparations… I had a fantastic idea of putting cupcakes in the shape of a 3 and a 1 on the table to spell out ’31’. Since I work during the day, my mom was so sweet and baked… >> View Post
My new swimsuits!!! :o)-
Before I went out shopping for new swimsuits, the last swimsuit I had purchased was… maternity. Before that? Oh, dear, it was probably over 6 years ago. So, needless to say… I was due for a new swimsuit, big time!!!! So, I went to Macy’s, which is where I always get my perfect swimsuit, and…… >> View Post
Happy St. Patty’s Day!
I was saving this picture for Wordless Wednesday to show off Autumn’s little curl in her piggy tail. However, her bow was pink… and, I thought to myself… we can’t have pink on St. Patty’s Day (because the photo was taken this last weekend). So, I did a little Photoshop work, and ta-da! Green bow!… >> View Post
Follow along with me.. Introduce your pet(s)!
Let me introduce you to our only pet in the family, Bratches. She came to live with us shortly after Brat, my bestfriend-kitty passed away in April of 2006. I was heart broken because Brat’s death was sudden and he was only 9 years old. There is so much more to Brat’s story, but I… >> View Post
