Happy Birthday Matt!

Yesterday was Matt's Birthday. He turned 34. We celebrated all weekend long with a visit from Chris and Sherry and a huge open house / house warming party! Though I work on Tuesdays, I typically work from home that day. Yesterday was not a normal day and I had to work a Microsoft Event. Matt was home for Ben by 3:45 but I didn't get home until 8:30pm....

Long story short - Matt got the short end of the stick...no cake, no candles, no singing! He said he didn't mind but it bugged me...so today Ben and I went and got a cake from Cold Stone Creamery (red velvet cake with cake batter ice cream yum yum!!!). After dinner we surprised Matt with the cake and of course candles and singing!!!

Indian Summer

We hit well over 85 degrees today! Wasn't Sunday the first day of Fall?







Back to Books




When we moved we had a whole bunch of books due to the library. We found that there is actually a drop off to the public library right in our community. This is GOOD news, given we are about 15 minutes from the other side of town where the library is.....


Long story short - we had not been to the library since before the move. So on Monday we headed over to the library to get some books on bed time (which ben has been having some difficulty with lately)...I couldn't resist taking some snaps of him reading!

Car Talk

I find that Ben and I have our most interesting conversations in the car. Perhaps its because its one of the few times during the day that he sits still enough to have a conversation - who knows...but lately our car talks have been cracking me up so I thought I'd share...

Monday
M: Ben I love you
B: Mom I love you too.
I love you from America to South Korea and then back to America...that's alot right?
M: Yes, Ben that IS alot!
B: Yeah - that's how much I love you mommy.

Wednesday
B: Mommy, do you see the horses?!? (note we were passing a horse farm).
M: I do! Do you like horses?
B: Yup! So much it hurts my heart (note - I say this ALL the time...) that's a lot right?
M: Yup -it really is.....
