Samantha's Engaged

My little sister Samantha is engaged! They will be getting married the beginning of June. We are so excited for her and Roy.

No more pictures

For about the last month this is what most of Chases pictures have looked like. As soon as I get out the camera and try taking pictures, he starts grabbing at the camera yelling, "No, no". After which he lays face down on the floor bawling about the horrific experience he just went through.

So I think I may stop using the camera, since it is such a traumatic experience for Chase, and let Baylor draw our pictures instead. I know what you are thinking, these drawings pretty much look exactly like us, right? I never realized how much I looked like Mr. Potatohead. Thanks for the portraits Baylor.

99 Days

We have less than 100 days left of living in Ohio. We are down to the double digits now. Here are a few things we're doing before we go.

-Brody and I are going on an eight day Caribbean cruise with some friends. Both my mom and dad are coming to hold down the fort, and watch my crazy boys while we are away.
-Brody will be working hard to finish his board and graduation requirements
-I will most likely be going to Houston for my sisters wedding sometime soon. That is if they ever officially get engaged and set a date.
-I need to get all the paperwork and information completed for The Louisiana State Dental Board (Yes me, who else would do it, Brody? Ha!)
-Take the kids to some of their favorite places, like COSI, the zoo, parks, play groups, and running around our neighborhood with their dump trucks. (Baylor has upgraded from his school bus)
-Celebrate Brody's birthday
-Eat out at some of our favorite Columbus restaurants, and maybe try some new hot spots we didn't try before
-Baylor will be finishing up his 1st year of preschool
-Chase will start going to nursery at our church
-I will continue training and run the Columbus 1/2 marathon
-Brody will graduate
-Find a place to live in Lake Charles
-Sell or give away all our junk we don't went to take with us

-Saying goodbye for some really great friends and people in Columbus

Nice Lobes

Check out my new and improved ear lobes. That's right, put me in a room with a bunch of 2-8 year old girls, and we can share stories about our recent ear piercing experience. I've never had my ears pierced and didn't ever care until recently. I've decided to grow out my hair, and I'm going through the awkward, ugly length right now and thought that wearing cute, new earrings might help. Come to find out I'm not suppose to wear dangle earrings for 6 months. I may have to break that rule. FYI it surprisingly hurts quite a bit. I would have said something about it hurting while I was having them pierced, but there was a frightened 7 year old behind me, so I had to be brave.
