Almost there

We did it, we're almost to one whole year! This weekend marks the one year anniversary of the crazy events that unfolded that amounted to Jake's birth. It's the Dodge County Fair! I can't wait! And now, Jake gets to meet the cows himself! Yay! Is he too little for a pony ride? Saul was on a pony ride pretty early. I think a pony ride is in store too! Hopefully he doesn't beat the pony. He thinks he's patting Porter, but it turns into a beat down. Well, Porter runs away tho, so it's about two baby taps. Don't worry, we're not abusing our dog!

So here's a photo to keep you sedated until the birthday and fair pics come about!

Apparently I squench my nose like mom!

So happy fair weekend ya'll!

Front of House

It's been a transition of epic proportions! If you've been here before, you just may not recognize it.




Would you like a list?
  • Trees, gone
  • blue shutters, gone
  • brass rusty nasty ugly front lights, gone
  • brass rusty nasty ugly mailbox, gone (in it's place a black one, it was taken down for some siding fix ups which brings me too...)
  • nasty brown spot around mailbox, gone
  • weird cursive house number above the door, gone (we left the plaque type one up by the mailbox, but was down for the fixing up)
  • wasn't done at the time, but lame blue diamond on window box is now painted.
  • nasty blue door, gone! it has been repainted, not back up yet
Now, I need to put new flowers in my flower box up front. Any fall type hot weather suggestions? Maybe I should wait until the mums come out in the fall more.

And the other survey...what do you think about the one window with no shutters? It was naked before, so we left it naked. (That window is one of Jake's...speaking of, he's been taking a looooooonnnnnnnnngggggggggggg nap! Must've been the swimming.) So here is a rough idea of all the windows with shutters. Thank you magical computer. Please apply 5 cent here_____.


Here's a couple pics of the kiddo!

I went on a pool hunt and K-mart, the land of the einsteins, had one. This was last night when the sun was on the other side of the house. He got a little cold. We went again today with the sunshine and played and played! And yes, he's wearing lil' swimmers! His cheese belly's in the way!

Afterwards in my froggy towel...ribbit!
Saturday's lunch, grilled cheese and carrots. Yummmmy! I cleared about half my plate. I love cheese!!! Thank goodness I live in Wisconsin!
Do it like this...giggle and laugh and stuff your face silly!

Hmm, looks like it might maybe think about raining finally...it's cloudy for once this week...please rain!!!

Toodle-loo!

Food

I think about it a lot and I know all of you do too. Here's a good article on what's good for you when hitting the fast food joint! I just had chick-fil-a on monday! Deee-lish. And to tie in with that more, I just heard this morning that the founder of chick-fil-a had their house broken into and vandalized. Instead of pressing charges and giving the teen-girls a record, he's making them write something 1,000 times and read a good book!
