Hey Sweetie-I hacked into your blog and uploaded this video. I hope you are not mad. I wanted to give you a little surprise for our 4 year anniversary. We've overcame many hardships and often times I don't deserve such an aweome wife, so I am so thankful to have you in my life. Did I mention

P was so excited that we were putting up a tree...INSIDE! He loves to play outside and I am pretty sure that he thinks this tree came from our backyard. He kept pointing and saying "uh", "uh". Like "mommy, how did you get that tree inside our house?" He was totally cute helping daddy. I just sat

NOW...or I'll smack you! (look at his little deceiving grin...don't be fooled...I caught him in mid-smack!) ROTTEN! P loves his Klay Klay friend! He has learned how to give out hugs...and guess who gets most of his lovin'? Nope, not mommy. Miss K! I'm assuming he likes her more than me because he

Hallelujah! I haven't been updating you too much on the house plans, but there's a reason. We went through a period of a few weeks where we had the perfect house plan drawn up...and no roof! What I mean by no roof, is our architect was having a hard time figuring out how to make the roof work with

As most of you know my hubby has 2 blogs of his own: Good Financial Cents (his money blog) and Financial Dad (his daddy blog). He takes blogging very serious folks. :) In fact, most of our conversations over the last 6 months have had something to do with blogging (hence, why I started my own). I

Last week P got his fourth haircut! Daddy was due too so it was a father/son day at the hair salon! He usually does so good sitting still and this time was no different. Miss Layne (our hair stylist) decided he deserved a sucker! Unfortunately, while mommy, daddy, and Miss L were gossiping away...P

Lately P has been SOOO smart. I know...all parents probably brag on their kids and claim that their kid is the smartest...but really...he is SOOOO smart. :) The smarter he gets the more entertaining he becomes. We find ourselves sitting around just watching his every move. "P, blow kisses. P, wave

Lately I have been trying to teach P how to eat with a spoon. He seems to be interested...for about 2.3 seconds...and then he finds it way more funny to watch the spoon hit the floor! As you can see from the pics above (click to view larger) he did "try" to use the spoon...he even tried using it

Not that being a financial advisor is the most "fun filled" job right now with the market being so crappy, but nonetheless...P doesn't care...he's gonna be just like daddy when he grows up.Last Friday we stopped to visit "da da" at his office for a little lunch. Jimmy Johns for the adults and

Since it's Veteran's Day I thought it was an appropriate time to talk about the hubby's 15 month stay in Iraq and THANK HIM for fighting for our freedom! He served 9 years in the Army National Guard and was deployed to Baghdad for almost a year and a half in 2005/2006. As most of you know, he is a
