Tag

I was tagged to do this: What you do is open up your "my pictures" folder, go to the 4th folder, and find the 4th picture in that folder and post it. So, here it is ladies (99% chance you're female if you're reading a blog, right?)



This pic is of Spenser's motorcycle. He bought it a little over a year ago, and it had been wrecked. He spent many hours in the garage fixing it and putting on the new fairings, and this is one of the pictures of the final result of all his hard work, if I remember correctly. It's a replica of Nicky Hayden's, who is a Moto GP racer.

I tag: Mattie, Melissa, Sherri & Cate - have fun!

Yikes!

We were getting Brooklyn ready to go on a date with daddy last night, and she said, "I want to look cute, so I don't have to be funny, and so I don't lose my job." How does she know that already??

National Fire Prevention Month

That's right, it's Fire Prevention Month. After watching many people in our neighborhood lose their homes in the Columbia Village Fire, I think it would be smart of us to take the time to make sure we are prepared if a fire emergency arises. Check out this website for some great resources for fire prevention.

As part of Fire Prevention Month, Home Depot had fire truck kits as their monthly kid activity (first Saturday of every month from 9am to noon). Spenser was working, and the Eagle Fire Department was at Home Depot in Eagle, so the kids and I went to make our fire trucks while Spense was giving tours of the fire truck. Spense got to sneak away for a little bit to help us.

F Bomb Update

I just got done reading everybody's comments on my kids wonderful language these days, and I'm happy to report that Isaiah has not said the f word since that one incident. We totally ignored it, and he has not repeated. Likewise, Brooklyn has not said holy crap, let alone crap. Maybe I'm not as bad as I thought!!! I am definitely a fan of ignoring my kids bad behavior (okay, at least their bad language). If I don't make a big deal out of it, they don't say it to try to get attention. LESSON LEARNED!

Your Eyes Do Not Deceive You


Yes, this is a picture of my car! I finally have it back for good, and I couldn't be happier. The body shop only had to keep it one more day, and they said it was just the battery. They couldn't tell if it had gone bad because of the accident or not, but the insurance paid for it! How's that for a sweet deal?! She is almost like she was before. I can tell a few minor little things, like a scratch in the steering wheel, and a tiny scratch here or there, but she's as good as I could have expected, I guess. We picked her up last night and I got to drive home by myself and blast the radio like the "olden days". Oh, how I missed her. I am a happy camper. Now life can go back to "normal", right???

Bound To Happen

This is what happens when you leave a two year old alone for 2 minutes while you make an important phone call. By the way, these are NOT easy to get back on. My backspace button didn't make it through the surgery required to get the keyboard somewhat back to normal. Good thing I don't screw up...
