January-

January was an eventful month I can not believe that it is gone as fast as it is!
Here are some of my favorite highlights
* I changed my work schedule so I feel as if I have achieved balance in my life and the world is so right again! I love being able to be @ home more with Brandon and spend more working on being a wife and mom! I love my 2 boys!
*Brandon became a Sunbeam! To celebrate we made a sunbeam blanket... he chose out the brightest yellow fleece! Every where we go he is singing Jesus wants me for a sunbeam!
* Brandon started Pre-school. He loves his teachers and is making new friends. I love that he is excited to go. He always says daddy's going to work mommy is going to work and Brandon is going to school!
*Brandon learned not to stick things in his nose this month.... Long story short Brandon put a red hot up his nose It took about 10 min for me and Dave to get him to blow it out. Thank goodness I had a bottle of Little Noses saline spray... it took a whole bottle of squirting up his nose to dissolve it enough to come out. ( a necessary addition to my first aid kit) I think he has learned his lesson!
* Brandon saw a picture of me in my wedding dress. Now not only does he tell me everyday that I am his best friend I am also a PRINCESS! I told him he better not ever forget it. LOL

Brandon first day of Preschool!

Christmas Fun

2012-01-05T10:27:00.000-08:00

So December was absolutely crazy this year! We started finishing our basement the last week of November and had it done on Dec 23.
My Grandpa Randall passed away the week before Christmas . Me and Brandon went to Arizona for the funeral. It was nice to see all of my family that lives down there. It was so cute when they closed my Grandpas casket at the funeral Brandon said "Go to sleep" and then at the burial he was like "night night Grandpa". After the funeral my Grandma was sitting in her room by herself and Brandon went up to her and held her hands and said" its ok Grandma, Grandpa is sleeping now." After that he never said anything about the funeral. I am grateful for my Grandpa and the life he lived he was a good man.

When I got home on the 22nd and my Family was coming the 24th to stay at our house so it was nice to be able to have the house pulled together for Christmas, and have a place for everyone to sleep!

I love this time of year, but I am definitely glad to start the New Year!

Brandon is 3!

2011-10-06T18:54:00.000-07:00

I can't believe that Brandon is 3! His Birthday was conference Sunday... so we had a BUZZ family party! Brandon was so cute when he woke up that morning he wanted to say a prayer and read the friend! The whole day he was sooooo excited for his happy to you party! My favorite part of the day was when Dave lit his birthday cake Brandon started to sing "happy to me" ! I love my little buddy and am so grateful to have him.

6 YEARS!

2011-09-24T22:16:00.000-07:00

Me and Dave went to Park City to celebrate our anniversary and the fall colors are amazing!
The best part of the night was looking out our hotel window and seeing a firework show literally right across the street!
I cannot believe that I have been married to my wonderful husband for 6 years! The day we were married I did not care if the cake fell, or any if any of the details we spent planning were absolutely perfect! I knew the most important detail was kneeling across the alter and being sealed to you, for all time and eternity! I am so blessed to have such an amazing man to share my life with! I am so happy that even though you were on a date... you knew you would regret it for the rest of your life if you did not meet me! I love you and I can't wait to see what our lives bring! You make me so happy I love you forever!

Uintas

2011-09-21T18:20:00.000-07:00

We just got home from backpacking the Uintas!
Dave took me and our friends from St. George up to the Uintas for a 3 day backpacking trip!
We hiked a total of 16 miles! We have to carry everything we need food, tent, sleeping bags, and water! I can't believe I made it, some of the trails get really steep and I am a wuss! LOL! At the end of the day I love it.

Vegas!

2011-05-26T00:35:00.000-07:00

Viva Las Vegas!
We decided to take a quick weekend trip down
to Vegas to enjoy the pools at Mandalay Bay
and to visit some of our favorite friends!
Brandon is such a social little boy it was amazing to see how he could draw so much unwanted attention! He loved the elevator rides we were on the 31st floor the highest floor in the building! Brandon loved this, every time the door would open he would greet the new riders, and then perform a magic trick of trying to make a penny appear and hand it to some one! Of course there was no penny and a lot of people wondering what he was trying to hand them!
He loved the pool they have a lazy river that he could do laps around! I just loved how cute he looked in his sunglasses!
We went to the aquarium it was short and sweet! There were alot of sharks and predator creatures! Brandon loved it, but it was definiately a one time deal to go!
It was fun to be able to spend time with my boys, I love them both to pieces!

*I have an amazing tip for anyone wanting to take a trip and not spend a fortune on FOOD! I feel like eating out is our downfall!
There is a website called www.restaurants.com and they have gift certificates everywhere! I was a skeptical and thought it was a scam becuase you can get $25 gift cards for $2-3 each. Almost every restaurant at Mandalay Bay is on there!
They have local UT ones too!
one thing to note:
There are rules for every gift card and you can *only use one once a month at the restaurant
*Minimum of entrees or *how much you have to spend
But if you pre plan your trip with these you can save a ton of money on your bill and they are not a scam! We have used them in UT and Vegas and they work!

Conference Sunday Snow!!!

2011-04-06T22:10:00.000-07:00

I love conference Sunday it was so fun to wake up this time to a snow-storm!!! I love making huge breakfast snuggling up in our pj's and blankets and watching the talks! During the break Dave and Brandon helped neighbors plow driveways and build Brandon's first snowman! He loved it!

Cruise

2011-04-06T22:01:00.000-07:00

Here are a couple of photos from mine and Dave's 7 day trip to Honduras and Cozumel. We had a lot of fun zip-lining through the jungle snorkeling with sting rays and my favorite drinking pina's and of course Mexican food!

2011

2011-01-04T18:35:00.000-08:00

You know you have issues when you look at your blog and the last post was in October! I must say this last year was a little busy!!! We moved into our new house around Thanksgiving the holidays flew by trying to unpack juggle family parties and do all the Christmas shopping! But all in all we had a wonderful Christmas!

I am so happy to ring in the new year as a new me! I have so many goals to accomplish this year and my biggest goal I am working on is getting organized.
I have never been good with time management, but becoming a wife, mother and working has forced me into pushing myself to new limits! This year I am taking it one day at a time with one project and one goal!

One of my clients mentioned to me that it is an old wives tale "that if you are behind on your laundry when you ring in the new year you will be behind all year!" This was a frightening thought for me so I started with my first project and focused on all the laundry being done 100% now I am going to keep it up by just doing one load every day!!!

Brandon went trick or treating for the first time this year and it was adorable.
He loved every minute of it! We practiced before we left so he would understand what we were doing after the first door he was a pro! He would knock on the door take a candy blow kisses say bye and run to the next house! It was so funny any house with candy on the porch he would grab a few handfuls and take off. He must of known the rule if it doesn't say take one grab as many as you can!!!

September

2010-09-29T14:45:00.000-07:00

So I can not believe that September has flown by!
So much has happened in a month and I feel literally like I have been sucked into a whirl wind!
At my salon I moved to a new location and then I decided I wanted a bigger room so 3 weeks ago I moved again! I got some painting done but I am looking for someone with maybe some creativity/ interior design skills that can help me make my room more chic! If anyone knows anyone let me know!

Me, Dave, and our friends from St. George went on a 20 mile backpacking trip in the high wilderness in the UINTAS! I literally wanted to be left on parts of the trails until the next day it was so steep!
So we did some fishing and the weather was bizarr we would be freezing one minute and then dying of a heat stroke the next! That night marked my favorite experience yet.... So I was somewhat asleep becuase the wind was unreal it would be dead calm and it sounded as if waves were coming through the trees and then a micro burst out of no where would crash into the tent! So I am lying there and all of the sudden I feel myself rising off the ground and I am pushed on top of Dave who is dead asleep and this burst of wind rips through our tent breaking 3 metal support poles! So Dave tried to tie it down so every 10 minutes for the rest of the night waves of wind would sand blast us with dirt! In the morning when we got up we looked like 2 Indians covered in about 2 inches of dirt! Great adventure as always!

September 23 me and Dave celebrated our 5 year anniversary! I can not believe it has been this long! I just love him so much and am grateful for such a wonderful patient husband!

This my brothers nephew and niece! Aren't they cute! Brandon and her get along so well! Me and Jaci took them to the splash pool to play! The cutest thing was them playing Brandon's new favorite game ring around the rosie!

Dave's Birthday Week!

2010-08-19T22:13:00.000-07:00

So things have been a little crazy at the Stringham house for the last couple of weeks. I think a round of this plague cold virus has gone around our house and at one point one of us has been sick!
I had to get a new car because we had 3 and we only need 2! So we traded in our cars and I got a new one and yes 3 days later a girl smashed into the side of me! That has been a delight since I now get to drive a rental car for 6-7 weeks~ But all is well!!! I am just happy Brandon was sitting behind me and not the side the car was impacted! Let's count our blessings!

So for Dave's big 29... he was still feeling a little bit under the weather so I decided I would give him a celebration throughout the week!

Tues- was Dave's B-day and I decorated the house of course and took him out to lunch where our little darling Brandon decided to spill 2 glasses of water!!! We had to leave a big tip and get out ASAP kids are so embarrassing! That night we had that so Bundt cake and I made Dave his fav dinner!
Wed- SINCE Dave was feeling somewhat better, I thought some fresh air would do us good. I planned a surprise to go up the canyon BBQ tinfoil dinners and s moors! My brother decided camper fuel is a good way to start a fire... and Dave went to light it ... and it exploded into a fireball! All I could scream was stop, drop, and roll. I literally thought he was going to look like a burn victim. Thank goodness it only singed off all of his arm hair, some eyelashes, and the side of the hair on his head! None of his skin was burned.

Thurs- We went to dinner with Dave's fam out in Bountiful at a yummy pizza place. His sister and parents definitely spoiled him!

Friday- This was un planned on my part but Dave really wanted to go to Cabellas were he was able to stock up on some of our fishing supplies!

Saturday- So this is the day that I really planned out! I told Dave that we were doing stuff to celebrate his B-day and he would just have to go with it! He really does not like not knowing or being surprised, so he was threatening he would not come! LOL! So first I took him out to lunch at this amazing restaurant @ the district called rumorz they let you choose the kind of fries you want! They have the best terryiaki chicken sandwich ever and I am not a chicken sandwich girl!!!
After that I dropped him off for a massage at the Aveda salon best massages/couple massages!
At this point I had 2 hours to take Brandon to Bountiful... by the time I got back Dave was waiting and then was confused why Brandon was not with us anymore! I could of at that point been like oh my heck I left him at the store... but I told him he was at g-ma's!!! So I started our drive up to Park City were I told Dave we had dinner reservations! I booked us a room at the Hotel Park City, my new favorite to die for place! That night we had reservations at Ruths Chris, Dave's favorite kind of food ever fillet minion done to perfection! After dinner we went and saw the other guys funny/ long and weird at some parts! But all in all I would say one of my favorite date nights!

Sunday- We got breakfast and then headed up to the Uintas and decided to hike bald mountain.
This was the rockiest trail I have ever been on. 5 miles of rock and climbing up rock, with 1000 foot cliffs on the sides of you! Lots of fun and worth the time if you aren't terrified of heights. You can see all of the Uintas it has some great views!

All in all we had a wonderful week and I think Dave enjoyed being spoiled and surprised! I am so grateful for my hubby!

July

2010-07-30T22:35:00.000-07:00

July has been really fun and busy for our family this year!!!
I left Kami Hair and moved locations to my own salon in Draper, and I love it!
My Brother in law Ryan left on his mission to Taiwan!

For a vacation we squeezed in 3 destinations with less than a day in between each place! I have decided this is the way to do it!
Part 1: Bear Lake
What a fun week we had with Dave's family (Thank you Jeff and Shawn!) up at Bear Lake!
This is one of my favorite summer get away! Brandon loved playing in the water. Me and Dave took him on the Jet ski for the first time and he was giggling and loving it! I have a feeling he will be adventurous! It was so fun to talk, play, and spend time with Dave's family.

Part 2: Newport Beach, CA
The next day we flew to CA, to go and play with my family and spend every possible minute at the Beach! Brandon LOVES the big waves we had a game of running away from the waves it was so cute! Me and Dave body boarded on some fun waves and I was able to ride into the beach 3x in a row! I am terrified of sharks, but I had the time of my life!

Part 3: Backpacking 11 miles into the uintas
When we got home we set out the next day for 11 miles of backpacking. This is not anything like girls camp. Everything we need to survive is taken Tent, Food, Sleeping bag! I felt like a pack mule!!! We had to pump filtered water out of the springs or best water source we could find! Thank goodness for modern water filters!!! We saw a lot of amazing lakes on our hike... and did a little catch and release fishing it was a great way to end our trip!

And to put the icing on the Cake ! I am an Aunt this month Dave is an Uncle and Brandon is a cousin to our new niece Baby Amelia!
I cant wait to meet our little bundle of Joy!!!

2010-07-06T09:53:00.001-07:00

John Adams 1776: I am apt to believe that it will be celebrated by succeeding generations as the great anniversary festival. It ought to be commemorated as the day of deliverance,by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty.
It ought to be solemnized with pomp, and parade, with shows, games, sports,guns,bells,bonfires,and illuminations from one end of this continent to the other from this time forward for evermore.

We had such a fun weekend celebrating and spending time together as a family! Brandon loved the fireworks this year! We are so grateful to live in the land of the FREE!

2010-06-01T21:39:00.000-07:00

St. George splash pool. Brandon and our friends little girls had so much fun!

St. George

2010-06-01T21:28:00.000-07:00

We had so much fun taking a break and playing in the summer weather in St. George!
While we were there we were able to play with our Southern friends the Sorensons! They have 3 little girls that are just dolls! We went swimming, fishing, and Dave went shooting! While the boys were out us girls went to lunch, the toddler splash pool, and ice cream! What a fun 3 days, I can not wait to go back!

So far I have done

Lavender ( My Favorite smell ever! )
Peppermint with Roses
and Lemon Limes

I think they turned out pretty cute for my first time!

2010-05-08T19:14:00.000-07:00

Today was a great day! First I got to do what I do best and cut and color some clients hair earlier this morning! I am now donating all of my clients haircuts and old extensions to help clean up the GULF COAST oil spill! Everyday I work and cut hair, I am able to help save our planet!

This afternoon ME, DAVE, BRANDON, SETH AND JACI were able to go to the REAL salt Lake Game they killed it with 3-0. It was a fun game to watch. This was Brandon's first soccer game! When the crowd went wild he would plug his ears. He just started doing that a couple of weeks ago! I was talking to him and asking him a question and he plugged his ears and looked around it was hillarious! He purposely was ignoring me!

These are some pics of him in his jammies getting ready for bed! He was wearing my "Grandma" glasses and laughing his head off it was really cute! I love my little boy!

25

2010-04-25T21:01:00.000-07:00

First Thank you to my friends for my Birthday dinner on Friday this week has been so fun being able to spend time with all my BFF's and Family!

25! I cannot believe the day has come that I am now 25! The things that I have learned within a quarter of a century! I had such a wonderful birthday I woke up to my favorite breakfast skeevers they are a puff waffle ball with home made syrup! A delight!!! Me and Dave went skiing up at snowbird and the snow was perfect just butter! After that we went and got a couple massage at the AVEDA salon at the S Jordan District. I honestly can say hands down they have the best massages in SLC! After that we went to my favorite little restaurant Ridizio Grill. I can not get enough of those LIME brazilian Lemonades! Seth and Jaci surprised me with a delicious turtle so BUNDT Cake! I seriously could not blow out my candles! LOL!

Today Dave's Family threw a little Birthday for me too! We had a yummy BBQ and cheese cake.
Dave's sweet family spoiled me with the cutest gifts!
Thank you to all of my family and friends for making my Birthday week so special! xoxo

Grateful

2010-03-04T20:37:00.000-08:00

Sometimes it is nice to just sit back and think of how grateful I am for my life.
I have a wonderful husband to share my life with. He is my rock who keeps me balanced! He takes such good care of our little family, by always putting me and Brandon first. Dave seriously you are the best!! I love you sweetie! My little baby Brandon who is getting so big! He always knows how to make any ones day, by beaming at them with his bright smile! He is such a loving child! It always makes my day when he just gives me a snuggle, a hug, or a kiss! He is so inquisitive and playful. He helps me appreciate the small things in our lives that bring us joy! Every thing through his eyes is new, and an adventure. He helps me understand why Christ would have us liken ourselves unto the children. Not only are they pure in every way, but they don't take things for granted. They appreciate every new day and experience. They love everyone no matter how they look or who they are. I am so grateful to my Heavenly Father for my little guy! He has helped me remember how to live in the most fulfilling way unimaginable. In his one short year he has taught me so much about Love and lets not forget patience!

My list could go on and on and yes it does... but some of the most precious things in my life is my family!
Mothers, Fathers, Sisters and Brothers! xoxo love you all! And I cant wait to meet our new little addition my niece!!! I am going to be an AUNT!!! And to all of our wonderful friends I am grateful to you to for being apart of our lives!

Play Group

CALIFORNIA

2010-02-04T20:50:00.000-08:00

Me and Brandon had a fun 6 day get away to California this week for a little business/pleasure!
I started the trip off in a panic with my black berry missing so I was forced to live a week with no cell phone!! ( Dave later found it hidden in the front entry closet shoved under the door, thanks Brandon!) Flying has become an art when you are going by yourself with a baby and since this is the 4th time I have gone on my own I thought I had it down.... Be prepared to shove everything through the belt to scan all your items this includes: taking out my laptop, bag of liquid, sippy cup, stroller, backpack,purse, shoes, Brandon's shoes, coats, camera.... and of course as I am doing this you have to watch your stuff in 4 totes hold a squirmy baby ticket/id and walk through the metal detector! This is definitely horrible! LOL.
So for the business end I went to the Long Beach Hair show that was amazing this years trends include either blunt straight across bangs or down the middle side no bang look. We are going to see alot of texture and very clean lines. One of the trends the very brave girls are doing is shaving part of their hair like aboy and then keeping some long bangs. Long hair is still very popular but the curl is fuller and more wavy. The trendiest curling iron is the wand I love I have had one for 2 years that I special ordered and it is amazing!
For our pleasure we got to see my mom and dad in Newport go to lunch lounge by the beach, go to the OC zoo, ride the train and go to the cutest boutiques! We had alot of Fun!

A little Christmas Cheer and New Year Love!

2010-01-08T22:32:00.000-08:00

This Holiday season flew by for us! We actually rented out our house (in one day I know!) and moved to a new home, hence the reason we have been so elusive! Christmas was a merry event that we spent with Dave's family enjoying the festivities! We are so excited because Dave's sister is having a baby in July so Brandon will now be 1 of 2 grand kids on the Stringham side! This New year is one me and Dave will never forget! We rang it in early with yummy Chinese food and went early to bed (awaken by neighbor pots and pans and fireworks) LOL we are so boring but hey that is how it goes when you have to pack up a home in less than a week!!! Yes 1/2 of our house is at the DI! Everything in this move seemed to work out very quickly and smoothly, which is a delight to me since 2010 is going to be so much sweeter! Sorry friends that I didn't get my cards out in time but, We really hope all of you had wonderful holidays with your families and friends and we wish you all an amazing 2010!!!

Hiking Baby!

2009-08-12T10:54:00.000-07:00

Dave took me on the most gorgeous hike/fishing adventure in the Uintas. In 5 miles we passed 7 seperate lakes! It was amazing to be up in the most breathtaking scenery. Thank goodness for Daves navigation skills with his gps garmin that kept us on the right trail! Next time the only thing I will pass on is swallowing that bug!

Bear Lake

2009-07-26T18:51:00.000-07:00

We went to Bear Lake this week for the Stringham Family Reuinion. Brandon loved the beach! The first day was a little windy and he didn't want to touch the sand. All the little guy needed was a nice sunny day and he was playing, and eating the mud and swimming in the lake with his daddy. It was so fun to watch him crawl right into the waves. He loved to splash and soak up the rays with his SPF 5o! We had such a fun weekend!!!

California

2009-07-01T18:33:00.000-07:00

Me and Brandon flew to California to visit mom. He was so good on the plane and everyone sitting around us just loved him! Brandon did really good for his first flight. He just banged everything and ate my cookies! We went to the ocean for his first time and had a Beach photo shoot! Me and my mom and Rachel also took Brandon to the aquarium of the Pacific were you can actually pet sharks! Brandon touched a sea cucumber!

Me and Brandon went to see the Tulip Festival at thanksgiving Point Yesterday ( I bought a membership!)... If any one one wants to ever go you can get in 1/2 off with me!
It is absolutely stunning, I love seeing the beautiful parts of our world that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with! It was such a great day!

Brandon is getting so big he is now 6 months old. He loves to give me and his daddy hugs and lots of kisses. He is a sweet baby!

2009-03-10T10:44:00.000-07:00

Baby B. is now in his own room.
He moved out this week, and has transitioned really well! He wakes up once in the night... any ideas on bedtime routines that help baby sleep better on there own?

2009-02-23T09:26:00.001-08:00

The last two weeks have been an adventure at our house.... First I went to costco with B. and he lost his squirt turtle his aunt bought him from Disney land. He kicked it out of his carseat and literally in less than a minute it was gone for good. I was running around everywhere looking for it. So I ordered him a replacement wich is bigger, but you can see how happy B. was to have squirt back!
Next B. got really sick with croup me and Dave took him to the Dr. and ER 6 times in the last week and half . It was really scary to have him be so sick. He was so fussy and I literally didnt sleep for 4 days straight. He got two steroid shots and some syrup he never should of been perscribed, my Dr was shocked and threw it away. Good thing I only gave it to him 2x cuz he had a wierd reaction. Lesson learned no more letting people hold B. with out washing their hands, and then telling us they havent been feeling good all day. It cost us at least a couple of hundred dollars, but worth every penny though to make sure B. is healthy. He is now doing much better, thank goodness! Last and most exciting B. put his binky in his mouth by himself and rolled over. B. is getting so big it so fun to watch him grow!

Yesterday was one of the best days ever.... We went up in the beautiful
backcountry. We took Baby B. on his first snowmobile ride up to the cabin.
Then he went on his first snow shoe ride, and we watched Dave ski down a 45
degree shoot. I was praying he wouldn't fall off the rock cliff 150-200 foot ledges.
He is an amazing skiier so he was safe, and he definiately knew what he was
doing. The rest of the day we snowmobiled and just enjoyed this beautiful world
our Heavenly Father has given us! It was so fun to play and be up there with the family!

Christmas Party

2008-12-23T20:23:00.000-08:00

Daves Nana has her christmas party at the LION HOUSE
and this year the cousins played a gift card game each valued at $25. Every one took turns rolling the dice trying to avoid the mystery cash envelope Dave's little brother
for some reason wanted it,even though he knew his brother chris (dark grey shirt!) brought it. In the end Ryan opened it and recieved $5 cash now thats what I call a good investment!

SILLY TATER

2008-12-23T20:11:00.000-08:00

I layed Brandon on the floor and Tater is so sneeky
he always wants to lick Brandon and give him kisses!
Tater then thought Brandon could play tug of war and started
pulling on Brandon's blanket. Silly Tater soon enough Brandon will
be pulling on your ears!

Rock a Bye Baby

2008-12-02T13:58:00.000-08:00

Brandon has to be the best baby Heavenly Father could send! Yesterday was the first night that he has slept in his own crib! I have been trying to get him on a bedtime routine.... I give him a bath feed him and read him a story. So we put him in his bed and I was preparing for him to be upset and fuss a little. He went right to sleep and woke up 5 hours later ate and went to bed for 4 more hours. He is only 8 weeks old! I love my little bird.

ART GALLERY

2008-12-01T06:32:00.000-08:00

We went up to Park City for Brandons first
art show. Daves sister Mikell is the director of
Terzian gallery on Main Street. She puts together
all of thier showings, this was there mini show so
nothing was bigger than 13 inches. We had alot of
fun with the family. Brandon is wearing his custom
coat and hat that grandma has made for him!

This is mine and Meghan's first attempt at a blog,...so there will be no making fun of us! We decided to create a blog to help stay in touch with so many of you who live outside of Utah, namely Meghan's ENTIRE extended family!
Much has change in out life over these last few months. As many know, we are expecting a liitle boy in October! The due date we have been given is October 26th although I know Meghan is certain it will be a week early. It's amazing what wishful thinking will do! We have not decided on a name at this time and if this kids is luck he will have one by time he is born. I have to say, Meggie is the cutest pregnant women I have ever seen. She is now 24 weeks along looks like a little kangaroo!

On another note, we recently moved into a new home .We absolutely love the area! It's crossing over into Utah county, I know...there will be no redemption from that, but we really love our new home and the friends we have made. Meghan is excited that she has her OWN closet. And I am excited to finish a basement! We also have a little one year-old french bulldog named Tater. He is cross between a bat, a pig, and a dog so to speak. He loves to run away into other peoples houses and leaves presents for me to find in obscure corners. He thinks it's a game. Don't let the picture fool you...he can be quite devious!
So, thats the latest and greatest summary of what is going on in our lives. Once we get better at working this blog, we will post some more.
