coffee water

you know you like coffee when you drink an iced mocha... and about 20 minutes later take a hard suck to drink up the melted ice cube water in the bottom on the cup that has a trace of coffee residue on it. yum! and i'll do it again!

jack loves a baby

jack just loves babies. it's like a magnetic attraction. jack..................baby! he loves to hold them. here he is holding my cousin tiffany's baby. isn't baby annika sweet? jack missed his nap today. he actually fell asleep holding her! i got it on my camera's video. how precious is that?

Happy New Year! welcoming in a new decade

this was jack's first decade. it was kind of cool to document it. i don't suppose my parents let me stay up until midnight in 1979.:) we had the best time!!! we went to dan's sister's house and ate appetizers (a lot) and played Wii (a lot). it was so unbelievably fun. i actually didn't want to end the night! but, my ride was leaving.:) so, here's to a new year. Happy New Year!

maryn visits

i met maryn when we were in college at pcc. she is amazing. she married a guy from the area and we get to see each other from time to time when they visit. here we are in the wal-mart parking lot. lame! i meant to take a photo at Christmas Point where we had a lovely lunch... but i forgot. this was all i could get before we parted ways until next time.

VICTORY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

victory!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! jack finally rode on one of those quarter machine rides. until this victorious ride, he wailed whenever one of these started moving. sitting on it motionless was fine... moving? SCARY BEYOND BELIEF!!!!:) of course, this means that whenever we go to wal-mart he'll want to ride. oh shoot.

let's play with benson!!!

we love benson. jack and benson are buddies. it's ok that jack is 2 1/2 and benson is approx. 15 months. they both love tractors and looking out the living room window. we have a lot of fun together. i love taking photos of them eating their sweet little boy lunches.:) in the last photo, benson is NOT choking. he is blinking while chewing with his mouth open. funny, right?:)

homemade bread

it's cold outside! i finally feel like heating up my kitchen with loaves of hot, fresh bread. the loaves crackle when you set them on the cooling rack! jack and i love to eat it hot from the oven with honey. sigh............
