We all had such a great time! Erin, her husband and of course, Alexander came over at about 5:30 to help get the shindig going. Of course my mom and stepdad were already here. N8 was napping and david was on his way back home from working. Anyway, we were busy setting out all of…

Last night was so much fun! We ALL went to Jack Stack (one of my FAVORITE places – the beans are to die for!) for a late dinner. I think we were actually the last people in the joint. I diverted from my usual 2- meat platter and opted for the 3 meat platter. I…

Today was a great day! Sarah (aka N8’s Auntie) and i took n8 to his first IMAX movie over at the new AMC IMAX theatre. We went to see The Polar Express, which was cute!! N8 was more interested in the popcorn at first, but once he saw the groovy 3-D glasses, he was hooked!…

Let the Stress Begin!” and some other ones that reference Cops and four-letter words in the same sentence. Well, today i was at Target buying dog food (YES, THAT’S ALL I BOUGHT THERE, CAN YOU…

Okay, i went to my MIL’s yesterday to pick up n8 after he’d been there all afternoon and my MIL asked me to help her with some instructions on a “DNA Test Kit” she bought! I immediately asked her what she was needing to have her DNA analyzed for??!! She told me that she had…
