So we had our annual yard sale this past weekend. And as always, there proved to be some interesting people and plenty of frustrations along side of making some extra dough and spending a day with my dear friend. I realized that as the weekend approached that I had made it a year since the drama or should I say trauma that following last years sell. So for those of you who I didn't know....here is the post from then: Who Know That Nightmare Where You're Naked In Public? As I sat nursing 8 week old Wyatt that rare but all too memorable gurgle hit my stomach. That bubbling from something being not quite right in my gut. About five minutes later I hurry to the bathroom. I felt better...for the moment. However about every 20 minutes thereafter, it was getting more sever.I sat there on my porcelain throne, trembling and worried. The trash can dumped out on the floor so I would have a bucket to vomit in. Debating whether to call someone to come over for help and to watch the kids ...

So I have an ongoing list of all these amusing, at least to me, amusing happenings in my life that I want to journal about so that I don't forget them. I was looking back over the list and realized how behind I was when I saw my notes about my excitement one of my sisters just found out she is pregnant. Long story short...she had the baby yesterday. I enjoyed getting to watch her grow and her excitement about having another baby. Her 1st boy is now 10 years old. This pregnancy has been such a gift to her. Her 1st pregnancy was when she was barely 17 years old. We grew up in a Christian home and I will never forget the night that all us sat at the table with her while she told mom and dad and cried in shame. My parents handled it so much more graciously than I had feared and supported her completely. It was nothing glamorous . She was still trying to attend school and work at Pizza Hut in the evening. I can remember just days before she had Austin seeing her button her p...

Makensie's party went really well. The girls were all so cute. They came in PJ's and played on the trampoline for a bit then they dressed up and danced to a couple of Hannah Montana videos (actually the same video a couple of times as I couldn't find the DVD remote which leads me to question if the baby helped pick up and threw them away). Then we had pizza from Eureka Pizza (little promo here...if you haven't you need to visit their website. You can enter to win free pizzas. Also, you can enter each of your family members on the month of their birthday you get a free pizza. Plus you get points with each purchase that can add towards free pizza. Now we live about 3 houses behind Eureka and while it is a blessing to walk up and pick up supper, it can also be a curse to constantly have to smell pizza each night...especially those nights when I'm really tired and don't feel like cooking and those days when we're having something like tuna cassarole...tuna/piz...

RCD: Romantically Challenged Disorder Allen walked by and asked, "So am I gettin some tonight?" with a huge smile on his face. I said, "It might help to put forth a little more effort. there" So for a split second he thought about it and asked again, "So am I gettin some really good somethin tonight?" I didn't mean more effort with your sentence!

Brian: Mom can I go outside and play? Me: That's fine. Brian: I pinky promise that I won't pull my pants down when I'm outside.
