Happy Birthday, DAD!

The big 70 it is! Celebrate it and enjoy that new big screen by relaxing and watching a war movie or two! We love you, G, K, I, S, M!

Miss Sassy Pants Exerts Her Strong Will!

Watch out for this girl! She's got a will of iron. Mia is now fully potty trained, thanks to her iron will. One day, absolutely nothing to do with the potty (screaming, fits, straight legs, diapers) and the next day, fully done. Seriously, we've skipped straight past training pants and all that and have gone straight to the big time. Yesterday at the museum she said, "mama, I need to go to the restroom please." Hilarious. All my work is for naught unless this princess ready and willing! I think we've got our work cut out for us. Here she is enjoying the "fruits" of her labors, what we lovingly refer to as "poo poo suckas" in our house!

BTW, no new laundry service here. My brother Jon(who can fix stinkin' ANYTHING) walked me through changing the dryer belt ON THE PHONE! He's taught me to wire ceiling lights, fix the drain under the sink, and fix the bathroom fan. If you need something fixed and want to save a load of $$, call me and I'll set you up for a fee. :) Seriously, THANK YOU JON!

It's Official

well, it's official now. we knew this day would come (at least we had a feeling the last couple of weeks...) our dryer is officially broken and the washer is in its final stages. how we LOVE spending $ on things like that! I inheirited the problem from my g'ma rudolph-doing wash at least 1x a day. now we're paying for it after 10 faithful years every day. any recommendations out there for front loaders???

Isn't this just how my personality is? A million posts in one day and then wait a week or so? Isaac had everything to do with this picture.
