Everyone asks me who looks like who in our family so I am going to let you decide.

Your choices are Savannah, Madilynn, and Olivia.

a good laugh



My friend Erica posted this today but I thought it was hillarious (I would have laughed even if it was one of my kids) and had to post it too. I haven't laughed that hard in a long time.

Thanks Erica!

Hardware Free!



A week ago Jason went in for surgery on his right knee to have screws removed from a surgery (the Fulkerson) he had two years ago. Everything went well (thanks to Debbi I didn't have to try and keep my kids entertained for the 5 hours we were at the surgery center).
He had his postop on Friday and the doctor said it looked good but NO basketball for at least a month (we hope he will survive!).

Snow!

Savannah's first time playing in the snow. I know I have deprived my children by not taking them outside to play in the snow, so today while Madilynn and Olivia were taking there naps Savannah and I got in our snow clothes and went in our backyard to make snow angels.

Savannah loved it! I showed her how to make a snow angel, then she layed down to do hers, as she was doing it she got a big smile on her face and said, "this is fun!" Needless to say I couldn't get her back in the house. We had a great time! We are going to have to do it more often.

Take this test!


You're blue — the most soothing shade of the spectrum. The color of a clear summer sky or a deep, reflective ocean, blue has traditionally symbolized trust, solitude, and loyalty. Most likely a thoughtful person who values spending some time on your own, you'd rather connect deeply with a few people than have a bunch of slight acquaintances. Luckily, making close friends isn't that hard, since people are naturally attracted to you — they're soothed by your calming presence. Cool and collected, you rarely overreact. Instead, you think things through before coming to a decision. That level-headed, thoughtful approach to life is patently blue — and patently you!


I took this a few days ago and thought I would share my results. It is pretty accurate.
