Stinker

Things have gotten way too easy around here...let's spice things up a bit.  Mom....I've decided no naps for me.  I mean seriously....I'm 16 months old now.  Really, I am way too old for naps.  I know my older brother still takes naps...and I'm cool with that.  I'll just hang out in your room and lounge around your bed while he naps.  That absolutely will not bother me a bit.  Oh...and don't you try sticking me in my bed if I yawn or accidentally rub my eyes...I'll cry until I puke...promise! ...Rustin

Let it Snow!

...And the Not So Serious Aggie.

Congrats!

 I've watched this sweet girl grow up for more than 20 years.  She is my little sister's best friend.  They have played together, laughed together, and cried together.

 On Sunday she walked up these steps and said "I do...".  Congratulations sweet girl!

You have grown into a beautiful woman and it was a beautiful day!

You won't need these shoes to carry you on this new adventure...love will see you through.  I am so glad we could be there with you on this very special day.  London will be amazing, but we'll all miss you here at home.  Can't wait to see you again!

Recipe Card Holder

I could say that I was looking for a way to hold my index sized recipe cards and designed this plate to do the job...but that really wasn't the case.  I was looking for something cute to hang on the wall and cover an outlet plate in the dining room.  I think the dining room at the "new house" (as Ryder calls our home) was designed to be either a dining or office/study space.  There are phone jacks in places that I would have never put them (high up on the wall).  I found this plate at Home Goods and picked it up with the idea of placing a piece of silverware on it for a simple wall hanging that would cover the outlet plate.  Obviously, that didn't work out...but I did realize while doing all of our Christmas baking that it holds index sized recipe cards really well and it looks cute sitting out on the counter.  Just an idea for ya!!  Still looking for something to cover the outlet plate.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from our family to yours!  Hope 2011 fills you with many smiles!  Our littlest man had surgery on Friday to correct an issue that occurred when he was born.  They are resilient at this age...He is happy as can be and acts as if nothing ever happened...thank goodness!
