The weirdest cows you'll ever see!

Had to share  this!!!  My dad sent this to me.

17 pink sugar elephants-catchy tune

I came across this song while looking for some new music for my spin class.  I liked this one right away.  It didn't sound like any other song I've heard.  It's just something fun and different.  Seems like something my dad would dream up.

Our Dream Car

Here is our absolute Dream Car.  A GMC Yukon with third row seats.  Raised and ready to go riding in the mountains.  We love black.  Jack Bauer (from 24) drove a Black rig. They have a black rig on the Bachelor and The FBI agent from Bones drives a black rig.  It's pretty much an "agent" car that means whoever is in it, is "important and dangerous" hahahah.

Today has been great.  AFter only one our car being posted on craig's list for 1 1/2 days, our car sold!  We had 6 inquiries that wanted to come see it, but the first one that made it, bought it on the spot!  

The second great thing that happened today was, Glen passed his contractors test with flying colors.  He's glad to be done studying for it and ready to take over the business for his dad.

The third great thing that happened today was that we got our tax refund, no problems!  (makes up for the 10 months that it took us to get it last year!!)

Now we're just having fun car shopping on (of course) Craigs list!  Wish us luck to find the best deal!  

I love Craigs list!

So I just posted our car on Craigs list yesturday (by the way, I covered up the license plates on the pics for Craigs list).  We have 4 people that want to come look at the car and one lady that wants to by it but can't until the 25th.
Not only is it fun to get great deals but it's also fun to sell stuff.  It's fun to post it and then wait for someone to bite on. ...like fishing. hahhah

FOR SALE!!

1997 Honda Accord LX . $2,500.00. Please pass the word!

Below are pictures of it's boo-boos.

What are little boys made out of?

Since Ginger got a puzzle I wanted to make one for Jack. I picked a picture from one of my favorite books to draw. though, I just realized I forgot to draw one of the snails. oh well. anyway, I think you can tell from Jack's expression that he's pretty happy to have a puzzle just for him. :)

This other puzzle is Heidi. I love this dancing girl! I put the little poem of "What little girls are made of on it too."

Ginger the seasoning. . .

I was making Gingerbread spice cake the other day and Ginger was helping in the kitchen. I let Ginger smell Ginger and explained to her that it was Ginger. She seemed a little puzzled by that. Then I gave her another spice to smell and before I could tell her what it was she asked if it was Daddy. When I said "no" she asked if it was Gretchen. so cute!!!! I just love seeing the little wheels go in her little head.

Gretchen is just about 11 months! She is 20 pounds. She is still just the best baby. So much fun. I can't believe her birthday is just next month!

Jack has been a stinker lately. A few weeks ago he was waking up every other night screaming. ugh! Luckily he got over whatever was making him do that. I was about ready to have him sleep in the garage! He can be so cute and fun and then be SO naughty. But then at teh end of the day I think to myself, " oh, he's just a little 2 year old and still has lots to learn and he's so little and cute." By mid morning next day I brush that off and think, " why I ought-a . . . ." and realize once again that he is testing his boundaries. It's a vicious cycle I tell ya. I feel like I'm on a roller coaster with this little guy. I just keep reminding myself of how it was with Ginger at this age and now Ginger knows the rules and is so easy now. Like my mom said, If I can just stick it out and stand firm, this hard stage will pass and then things should go more smoothly.

I'm excited to finally get the two sisters together. The picture on the left with flowers is Ginger when she was 8 months old. It was done by JcPenny's. The other is of Gretchen at 8 months and I made it on photoshop. Glen made the frame with glass for me. I just love these pictures!

This is Ginger with her upgraded kitchen. It's pretty cute. Jack was excited to get her old one.

Thanks Aunt Wendy for the outfits. This one fits her perfectly!

This is what I found when I opened Jacks door after nap time. hahahahahh I can't complain. At least he keeps himself busy. I thought he was especially quiet this afternoon. hahahahah

Kitchen upgrades

Kitchen with crown molding and without. It's amazing at how a little addition makes a big difference!
