My daughter's a married woman!

The proud parents with Rachael!
I do!

The "new" Mr. and Mrs. Bryce Baldwin!


She had the perfect day, and we were thanking God for blessing the couple with sunshine!

7 weeks to go!



A wee bit blurry but this is what I'm wearing to my son's wedding - but with silver sandals- in 7 weeks! Ack! Still can't believe my little boy's all grown up, or that God managed to find him a woman. Miracles DO still happen! :)

3-2-1-BLASTOFF!!!


It's going to be a crazy 6 months, I tell you.

In May my son is getting married! However, I just found out the date they want to get married is also the date of my oldest daughter's college graduation. Luckily, I think the graduation is in the a.m. and wedding is in the p.m. and the two events will only be 1.5 hours from each other.

Then two weeks later, my 2nd oldest daughter and by-then-daughter-in-law will graduate from college, at the other end of the state. Luckily, they both go to the same college.

Then the week after that, my youngest daughter graduates from Vo-Tech.

Two weeks later she graduates from the "regular" high school.

One week after that my second oldest daughter gets married!
Then at the end of July, my son's wife will be blessing me with a grandchild!
To summarize, 3 graduation, 2 weddings, and 1 grandchild. Sheesh. I'm going to be tired, broke, and very happy!

I'm teaching my dog to play board games.

My dog plays Scrabble, but since she usually only knows 3 or 4-letter words like "arf", "bark", "woof", and "howl", she usually needs a little help thinking up 2-letter words. We let her use the manual now and then.






















She's really good at paying attention. I guess it comes from all that "watch dog" training.
















Although, sometimes she cheats and looks at my tiles!

I'm having 6 babies.

Did that title grab your attention? Well, that was the "title"of the dream my husband had about me the other night, and then he went on to tell me about the dream while we were in WalMart and I about fell over from hysterics while others in the store made a wide berth to "stay away from that crazy lady."

Hubs dreamed that I wanted a baby so I went behind his back to a fertility clinic. Of course he found out and I told him, "Yeah, I'm having 6. But don't worry, I've already given 3 away and I'm finding homes for the other 3."

As if they were kittens!! And why did I want to have babies if I was going to give them all away anyway?

I asked Hubs what happened next, and he said, "I don't remember. I think I had a stroke."

Fat on babies = cute. Fat on me = not so much.

Why is it that double chins are cute on babies, but not on 40 year women?

And why can't I wear horizontal stripes, when babies can, and proportionally their stomachs are fatter than mine??

And when do rolls on thighs become "ugh" instead of "adorable?"

If I could be a baby, I'd be cute on all three fronts. :)
