Dustin and I were talking this morning about what all we have done in the last decade......here is the short version.

2000: Dustin graduated from Tech
2001: Lori graduated from Tech
2002: got married
2003: Bought our first house
2004: must have been a boring year (although I did get pregnant!)
2005: had our baby girl Ramsey
2006: Dustin changed jobs
2007: another boring year (pregnant again!)
2008: Welcomed Bryson into the family
2009: Debt Free and promotion for Dustin!!!

as for 2010: NEW HOUSE, we hope!

Here's to the next decade! We are beyond blessed with our family, friends, jobs, health and everything else and look forward to what the future brings!

Christmas in a few pictures....

Christmas Eve day......

smells like:

  • "Grammie" Bread rising
  • beans in the crock pot for dinner tonight
  • Christmas candles

sounds like:

  • ESPN on the TV, not my choice
  • Ramsey "baking and cooking"
  • Bryson and the dogs snoring
  • Mom and I laughing and talking

what you won't see or hear:

  • wrapping gifts because for once I am done before Christmas Eve! GO ME!

Feels like Christmas is in the air and I LOVE IT!

Merry Christmas to all of you!

grocery store

If there is anything I HATE in this world it is going to the grocery store with both kids. I would rather wake up at 4:00 in the morning to go than to do it with kids. I have a TON of stuff I need at the store today but I refuse......so, here we sit.

Dressed and ready and nowhere to go.

Why, oh Why haven't they put a drive-thru grocery store in our area.

I guess I will go to the bank.....that is easy enough to do with the rug rats!

What do you not like doing with the kids? Please tell me I am not the only one that breaks out in hives at the thought of this.

To-Do list

mine is longer than yours is........ na na na na boo boo! Seriously, why do I do this to myself every year!?!?!?!? Next year I am going to wrap as I go, I swear.

NOT on the list, update blog. but here I am doing it anyway.

We had a fantastic weekend and honestly I should be at the gym not sitting on butt but the desire to workout is gone. gone baby gone.

So, hopefully I will tackle some of my To-Do list today and that will make me feel better about myself! If not, I have a bag full of homemade candy from Lolli that will do the trick.

Carols and Coffee




Every year Ramsey's school puts on a little (tiny) Christmas program for the parents. This year Ramsey once again sang her little heart out! So cute!!

On a totally random note....I seriously think I am shrinking....have I always been a full head shorter than Dustin? I am wearing heels from now on!

"I'm bleeding, dammit"

That is EXACTLY what Ramsey said last night when Dustin got a little too close to the skin when cutting her toenails.




Looks like I know what my New Year's resolution will be!

Hopefully Trevor didn't hear! :)
