A day at work......

So I was in our main building for a meeting and I ran across this funny site.....

Rest assured that if we can needlessly complicate a light switch we will go out of our way to make receiving a call as difficult as possible :)

Birthday Bash!

I put together a quick video of some pictures and a movie from Ben's Birthday party.

It was up for an Oscar for best live action - short film.

Rocking Chair

Ben's Madgie and Patch got him a rocking chair for his birthday.

He is really enjoying it, although he can't quite figure out how to make it rock on its own just yet.

St. Jude's Angels

TRex says go Team Chi-Lou

Ok so she is probably never going to Babysit for us again after I posted this picture, but IT'S FOR A GOOD CAUSE. :)

Anyway a group of us have decided to run the Derby Festival miniMarathon Louisville. (Unfortunately we are all related.) We decided to raise money for a cause that we all agreed was a good one, St Jude's. If you would like to learn more about our team. (Our donate money nudge nudge...) see our teams site here.

The Big Number 1!

Those of you "in the know" probably have been asking yourself....Hey didn't Ben turn One recently. You are right!

Unfortunately, just like a cruise ship, Ben's daycare has been hit with rolling waves of stomach flu. Ben fell ill on Thursday-Saturday, and Mom and Dad got hit pretty hard yesterday.

Fortunately, we were able to eat some cake on Saturday night.


Don't worry I got video too! This first one is the song and some munching.

This next one is an interview with the winner of Pablito's first annual cake eating contest.

We had gotten to open a few presents on the 15th.

Did someone say presents?

Playing with the new toy.

Trying to play with the camera..

More pictures to come, we are having friends over for a party on Saturday. Hopefully mom and dad won't be in bed the whole time.

Happy Valentine's Day

Ben worked very hard at school today



To bring you this very special wish!

High School Reunion

I have started digitizing some old photographs. Since we just got some news about our 10 year reunion coming up, I thought I would post this oldee but goldee.

How I hope Ben grows up to look like his Mom.

New picture but I still have the same wish for Ben.

Special Delivery

We had a great package come in the mail today.

In other news we both are working entirely too much....... :(

Cold cold cold

I know my friends from Minnesota are probably laughing at me, but it has been downright cold these last few days. The problem isn't so much the actual temperature. (Documented below....) it's the 30 MPH winds. It doesn't even feel cold really, it feel painful.

I can't move my arms.....

Super Bowl

We had a lot of fun hosting a small little get together for the super bowl. Unfortunately, it just wasn't to be.


Ben quickly lost interest in the game....

Taxing

Greetings from the frozen north! Today Ben and Aunt T went with me to to do VITA. Volunteer Income Tax assistnace at Ceda Northwest. This is the program for which Alex and I won the award from Motorola. Time to do do it again!

Ben is pretty good at taxes. At least he helps keep everyone in a good mood.
