Tiger's New Trick

Our little man rolled over for the first time on Sunday. Here's a clip of his new trick! Good, job, buddy!

Blast from the Past

I came across some pictures from high school. Ah, those were the days. We had a blast, didn't we? I'm thinking about you all and miss you!

Sr. Banquet - Venga Bus anyone?

Dancin' the night away!

DH's mission farewell (he's the guy bottom right)

7 Random Things

I was tagged by Alycat and thought I'd better do it before I forgot. Here are 7 random things about me.

1. I LOVE cadbury mini eggs - yes Easter candy is already in stores! Dh doesn't enjoy Easter because of a certain experience he and his sister had when younger. Let's just say it had something to do with a rotten Easter egg and a taste test. He's never been the same.
2. I strive to be organized or else it's very hard for me to function. I also really enjoy planning get-togethers.
3. I love to read. I used to read all the time while traveling on the express bus to and from work. I am going to try and participate in a book club again.
4. I love to travel.
5. Years ago my mom and I went skiing at Deer Valley. Well, we ride the lifts in singles because it goes faster. I waited for her at the top and she skied over with two guys she rode the lift with. It was Nicolas Cage and his manager! However, at the time I didn't even know who he was!
6. I have dear friends in Spain that I think about often, but aren't in direct communication with.
7. I have the home re-decorating bug - BAD!

Grandma T

We just received a phone call informing us that DH's Grandma passed away this evening. We are saddened by the news and will miss her, but at the same time what a joyful reunion she must be having! She recently lost her oldest son and has been missing her DH for 15-years. Here are some pictures of our last visit with her.

I love this one! How cute.

Four Generations

We'll miss you, Grandma! Until we meet again...

Fate

I've been thinking about this picture recently. Do you recognize us? This is DH and I back in high school - probably 10 years ago. Holy cow, I'm getting old!

Anyway, I love this picture. At that time I would have never guessed that we would spend our lives and eternity together. You must trust in God - in His plan and good things will come. Fate, destiny, whatever you want to call it - it's the hand of God in our lives. I am eternally grateful for his guidance. DH is the one and only man for me. I love you!

Mmm...Donuts!

My friend, Foxy 4, informed me recently that when the neon HOT light is on in the window of the Krispy Kreme store you can go in and get a free donut. How awesome is that?

So today while I was kidless, I stopped in and got myself a free treat. Last time I took Bugs with me and she took one bite and didn't want the rest...score! Two free donuts. :)

The 20 Commandments of Toddler Discipline

Our little 2-year-old is driving me crazy. So I did a little research and found a good article called, "The 20 Commandments of Toddler Discipline." It's great advice. I'd just like to add something...consistency. My plan is to write down the rules and the consequences for breaking a rule. So she knows what will happen if she breaks a rule. Obviously Bugs can't read yet, but we haven't been consistent in discipline. If she throws food at the table, she's done with dinner...no questions asked. If she won't clean up her toys, then a toy goes into time out for a week. Anyway, that's my plan. Does anyone have any good strategies or advice?
