Hope they fit honey!

I should've been doing a million other things. I know better than to open my email that says...shoes, 50-80% off SALE! I thought...I'll just quick see what they have in a particular brand I've had my eye on. It all happened so quickly. My credit card was out and my new brown shoes were on their way. I got so pumped I hauled Kate into my office to show her my new brown shoes that had already been shipped! They were just what I had been looking for. I pointed to the screen and then I saw in big bold letters...FOR MEN! I shouldn't have been shopping online at work.

No Television!

Last Wednesday night was our first night of turning it off for a whole day! The time waster...the T.V. No Oprah, Pardon the Interruption, Football, or Reality T.V. Instead we packed up Jake, Jackson, the grill, and jogging stroller (to the roof) and off we went to Hemlock Crossings Park. I can't wait for this week!

Oh wait...I cannot tell a lie. We cheated. After Jake went to bed we watched one episode of Grey's Anatomy on our new 3rd season DVD set. But this doesn't count because we both agreed on it and it wasn't on cable, and it was together. I'm such a justifier. I hate you T.V.!!

10 Weeks Old today!

Happy Birthday!

31 years old today, Sept. 17! Happy Birthday husband. I love you! I'm going to surprise you tonight with a birthday party at your favorite restaurant. Oh wait...it's not a surprise anymore. I hope you wear the shirt you found in the back of the car that i forgot to wrap and didn't hide. I vowed that this year I would wait till the day of your birthday to give you a present...so much for this year. Maybe Christmas!

Going through the big "D"

...and i don't mean Dallas (or Divorce). Daycare! Today was my first day officially back at work. I was fine until Mary asked if I was going to cry...the waterfall began. I know he is very well taken care of and in a great place. I'm pretty sure it was just a one time thing. Kate brought me a card and gift that welcomed me back! Thanks Aunt Cake, you're a great friend and co-worker.

Phollett Photo Shoot

These are for Shannon (the photo queen). We know that we aren't very efficient in sending out pictures of Jake. We hope you enjoy these.

Not the last

This is probably not the last time Jake has to wear something he doesn't want to. Why is it so funny to make kids wear stupid things? I think every new person that comes up to the cabin has to try on the scary bear hat. Somehow it makes it's way out of the front porch where it hangs on the bunk bed...it must be screaming "put me on!" Just wait 'til Halloween Jake!

Blog Title

I really enjoy watching the Tigers, even though they're losing it lately. Recently they've started a series called "In my own words." I think their very first guest is Justin Verlander. I'm stealing their title for my blog. So, already it's not really my "own words." There it is, I'm giving credit to the Network for my blog title. I don't think I can get in trouble, right? I haven't seen the show yet but I look forward to hearing more about their personal life.

Here it is!

I finally am doing it. I'm starting my own blog. I waste lots of time reading other people's, so I thought maybe other people will also waste time reading mine! Just kidding. I really enjoy reading them...sometimes I just spend too much time on the computer. So...here I go getting caught up in the blogging world.
