We are moving....
Now before you start to freak out.  We are just moving our blog.  As much as I love this site, there is another one out there that allows us to share video easily and uploads much quicker.  So I have decided to move the blog.  Hopefully this will allow us to share more of our craziness with our extended family and friends.

I woke up at about 3am with suck horrible back pains that I honestly couldnt move without being in pain.  I honestly thought that Joel would be taking me to the urgent care down the street.  Stupid horse, reeked havoc on my poor body.  I accidently woke Joel up as I was trying to get comfortable, so he tried to calm me down, rubbed my back, and ( Read more... )

On Sunday we woke up, ate some breakfast and headed out towards 4 Eagle Ranch in Wolcott, CO for a day of ziplining and horseback riding.  As we were getting ready, I also realized that I forgot my contacts at home.  (ugh!!! *banghead*)

I gave in.  I finally gave in.  I let Joel talk me into TRIMMING Zack's hair.  So we trimmed the hair around his ears and his baby mullet off.  Yes, I realize that he is 22 months onld and many kids have haircuts much earlier in life.  I just was not wanting to cut his hair.  I think Zack looks cute with longer hair.  Although my mother in law has ( Read more... )

On our trip to Bluegrass, Iowa we took Zack to the carnival they were having.  We THOUGHT that he would like the rides.  After all, this is the kids that is climbing on our tables, spins in circles, and dives off the couch.  We could not have been more wrong.  Maybe it was the scary "carnies".  Maybe it was because they had the same rides that we ( Read more... )

You go on two (yes two) carnival rides and feel like puking for the rest of the night.
Pat, Margie, Joel, and I took Zack to the Bluegrass Days Carnival.  We tried getting Zack on the rides but that didnt work so well.  (more on that later)  Margie and I went on a spiny ride and half way thru decided that we no longer liked the ride.
