Laughter Fills the House

Micah has been SOOOOO happy today! He has been full of laughter...enjoy!

Spider-Boy, Spider-Boy

Around our house my husband loves to make up songs to anything and everything. He also loves Spider-Man. Hence, the reason our son looks like he is stuck to the wall. Dillon was singing "Spider-Boy, Spider-Boy..." while this photo op. was going on.

Cute Picture

It has been a long time since I posted. I actually haven't had a chance to upload some of our recent pictures. I will be doing that soon! So to tide you over, here is one that is sure to be a classic.

Ok, so I have started this post many times in my head! Really it is not THAT hard to come up with 7 interesting things to share with you about myself, but alas it has taken me this long because of interesting fact #1. So please read below to find out more about quirky little me.

1. I don't like to write. Really I am terrified of writing! It is so bad that one night as Dillon was talking to me about a paper he was having to write for one classes this semester I started crying! Now I know some of you are saying...HORMONES! But seriously, I despise it THAT much. Just the thought of writing a paper turns me into a basket case.
That being said, when I started this blog I told Dillon that I hope this would be an outlet for me to get more comfortable with writing. (Although to remedy that I have to keep up with the blog. Oh, well. :) )

2. I was Drum Major of my high school band. Yes, I was a band nerd! But I loved it! It was such a wonderful opportunity to learn about leadership and how to lead with a servant heart.

3. I never thought that I would get married. In fact until I had a ring on my finger, I would not plan ANYTHING about my wedding. Not even my colors. (Just ask my Mother-in-law.)

4. My first car was a 1981 Buick LeSabre. We called it "The Ark."


(Disclaimer: This was not our car. (My sister and I "shared" a car.) Ours was maroon.)

5. I will NOT eat apricots or pork chops. Let's just say that when I was little I remember a very long evening involving the two items mentioned above and LOTS of mustard. :p

6. When I was little I was a climber. I climbed EVERYTHING! One time I even flung (is that a word?!?) my shoe up on our roof just so I could go get it. Needless to say , I didn't tell my mom about this until I was MUCH older...like when I was in college.

7. It is hard for me to spend money on things even when I need them. Take clothes, for instance. Growing up I would go out to buy clothes for school or whatever and never return home with a single item. This fact still haunts me today. In fact, I usually have to take some with me to go shopping just so they will MAKE me buy something.

Ok, so these are the first random/interesting things that came to mind as I was writing this post. This is just a sampling of me.

Step right up, step right up

Take a close look. It is there, folks! Micah's new tooth (his front left one to be exact)!!! Our little boy is growing up. Oh, this is so wonderful and sad at the same time. :)

Givin' it all he has!

Micah has been working on this crawling thing for the last few weeks. Here is a picture of our sweet boy givin' it all he has. :)



It is so funny to watch!! When he gets his arms up underneath him, his belly just stays flat on the ground. When he trys to remedy this, his knees will come up under him and his precious little face will just plant into the carpet. Sad, but charming. :) Anyways, he has working so hard and today here is what he started doing.

The Other Day

The other day Dillon came into the room and proclaimed (and I quote), "My neck is this big around." And this is what he looked like...




I love my silly husband!!!
