White Trash Family...

I was just looking through some old photos, and found a few that sort of jumped out at me.... First, Chris with a mullet, still looking pretty sexy. Business in the front, and all party in the back. Second, Kaylee slamming down what appears to be a Mountain Dew. Now if these aren't white trash photos, I don't know what is. Does anyone else have pictures like that?

Also, I saw a picture of Kaylee when she was only 9 months old. I couldn't believe how similar her and Crew look! See if you can tell the difference!

And last, but not least... I love roses, and I finally got another rose bush at this house. This was one of the first roses that bloomed. It's sooo pretty! And it's right in the front yard for everyone to see!

Who Cares (that's a statement, not a question)

Well, I am commondeering Shawn's blog because I saw how lame her blogging is. Where do bloggers come off thinking that their lives are sooooo interesting, that everyone else just has to know about it? Have you guys seen the new American Gladiator? Well, do you think calling someone "American Gladiator thighs" is a compliment? Just asking...

At work we just starting a new job. It's the new Spring Training Facility for the Cleveland Indians. Here are a couple of picture of the clubhouse building. There will be a total of seven full sized baseball fields. So this is where I'll be working for the next year.

Question for Alan: I'm thinking about attempting a home surgury. There is a protruding mole that needs to be amputated. I'm thinking about sterilizing a pair of finger nail clippers, and sneaking up on it in the night. Also what techniques should I use to minimize scaring?

Ta-Da!

Kaylee got an art easle for Christmas from Grandma, (I got one too, but that will be in another post) and she just loves to draw pictures when I'm painting. The funniest thing, is that her pictures make absolutely no sense, but she will tell you what every little scribble on the paper is. This was actually one of her best drawings. As she described it- The purple person in the middle is Kaylee with her pajamas on, she's standing in grass, and there are 8 birds flying around her. There is a sun, and green clouds. Oh, and shortly after I took this picture, she drew herself peeing on the floor. (The best part is when I asked her what the yellow was, she said "I go pee pee." HAHA!)

And Crew is just so talented! He is already saying things like "da da" "ma ma" and "ta ta"!!! I'm going to try and get him to say "ta da" next! He even gave up eating baby food! And the worst part of that is- he doesn't even have any teeth yet! I don't remember Kaylee stopping eating baby food this early. I don't really know what to feed the kid! Does anyone have any suggesstions?

Oh, and Happy Valentines Day everyone! I had such a great day! I woke up and made Kaylee and me french toast! Then we made oatmeal craisin cookies for the Valentine's Day Party we went to at the park. (We had to bring a snack that had some red or pink in it, so instead of raisins, I made them with Craisins! I'm so clever!!) We went to the party and the kids played and exchanged cards, and made some neat crafts- Great idea Stephanie! I forgot to bring my camera unfortunately! Then later in the night when Chris got home we made a romantic dinner with steak and king crab legs. Then, since everyone here is sick, they all fell asleep around 7:30! Hope everyone else's day/night was good!

Down on Luck

It seems that in desperate times we don't always know who to turn to. When you think you have a good friend they always seem to turn out to be someone different. All I know is that I always have one person who will listen to my side, who will love me regardless of my flaws. Someone that I can turn to wherever I am, whenever I need them. When I am feeling down on my luck, or singled out by my peers, I know I can always turn to my Heavenly Father. The love he gives me is unconditional, unjudging, pure, kind, and comforting. Sometimes I forget how wonderful it is to feel this love. So anyone out there that feels like the world is out to get you, that your so-called friends just aren't what they seem, and you're down on your luck, just remember that the Lord will always be there for you no matter what. All you need to do is pray, and you will find comfort.

President Gorden B. Hinckley

"President Gordon B. Hinckley, who led The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through twelve years of global expansion, has died at the age of 97.

President Hinckley was the 15th president in the 177-year history of the Church and had served as its president since 12 March 1995.

The Church president died at his apartment in downtown Salt Lake City at 7:00 p.m. Sunday night(January 27th) from causes incident to age. Members of his family were at his bedside. A successor is not expected to be formally chosen by the Church’s Quorum of the Twelve Apostles until after President Hinckley’s funeral within the next few days. "

Christmas...finally!

I know it's really late, but here are some pictures of the kids on Christmas day. When Kaylee came out she saw her new tents and tunnels and she was so happy! She got some really cool stuff, she even got some new roller skates! Crew got a new car (that Kaylee soon took over), and a musical station that he is in love with. He will seriously stand there for hours just playing with all the features of it. They had a blast and so did Chris and I! I got some really cool things too! I got an Ipod Shuffle, and some new shoes. Chris got his Xbox 360(he got it early, but it was still for Christmas). He also got Xbox live, which he plays every day! And he got some socks, and the whole Family Guy series on DVD.

Kaylee in her new tent. (She slept in one of the tents every night for a week straight).

Once Kaylee gets bored of the car, Crew gets to try it out.

Crew's new favorite toy!

Trying out her new Roller Skates!
