How GREAT is My Husband??

We have been here since November 1 and today (March 25) is the first day I have filled a gas tank in a vehicle!!!

I filled his van while he napped so he did not have to leave extra early to do it himself.

This, of course, is only one small reason why I LOVE him so!!! I will share more later...time to make supper!!

Home Depot, Pinhead or Patriot??

The title comes from Bill O'Reilly, in case you were wondering. "The spin stops here."

So maybe you do your home improvement shopping at Lowe's or maybe you go to Menard's in the midwest. Bottom line, if you're not aware of all Home Depot has to offer you and your children, it's worth looking into. It is difficult to find on their home page so follow my lead here.

http://www.homedepot.com/ search "kids workshop"

On the first Saturday of each month, Home Depot gives your child a wood project that you build right there, an orange Home Depot apron, a pin for each project (for their apron) and a certificate. The best part, you are teaching your child to build, having fun with your kids and it's all FREE!!

Jan - bookends
Feb - jewelry box for Mom
Mar - race track with cars
Apr - Birdhouse

Thanks, Home Depot, for thinking of the American Families!
For this, we name Home Depot, a Patriot!

Hus Racing League, look out! :)

For pinheads, just check http://www.foxnews.com/ on a daily basis, you're sure to find one.

The Pictures Are In.......

and Hannah is stunningly BEAUTIFUL!!! I couldn't be more proud of my Princess!! She was the most gorgeous girl in the triple-sized ballroom. We had a blast at dinner and dancing the waltz, the rhumba and whatever other moves her dad busted out from the 80's. I did manage to leave the breakdancing in the 80's. The backspin would hurt at my age.

Hannah, thank you for being my date for an evening I will cherish forever!! ~ Daddy

#1 Reason We Love Colorado (Thank you God!!)

As most of you know, back in Iowa Hannah was hospitalized for Pneumonia, RSV or other respiratory issues at least 3-4 times every winter; from October-March. Because God is so good and continues to bless us daily, we have been in Colorado since November 2008 and Hannah has not been in the hospital one time. THANK YOU JESUS!!! You get all the glory and praise!

(PG-13) Colin's Random Thoughts!

OK, first of all, you can't make up the stuff kids say.

So there we were, in the men's restroom at Target. Colin (our 5 yr old) gets done and turns around. I notice his pants are a little wet. He's telling me he can't wear them because they are wet. I told him they weren't that bad and besides, we had no other underwear or pants for him to wear.

Then I asked him "What happened??"

He replied, (with arm gestures) "Well....my penis was just flyin around!"
