And we’re OFF!
Wes’s Best Christmas EVER. (Of three.) We’re going to miss the garbage man today. First pickup after we gifted him with treats for Christmas and we’re not even going to see him as we will (hopefully) be in the air on our way to Dallas. Where we will then bolt to our next flight during our 45-minute layover and head to Tucson. Where we will succumb to a whirlwind of wedding activities including Nikki’s second attempt at being a Flower Girl. Hopefully... Read More
Now that Christmas is over…I better talk about the other HUGE THINGS going on in my life.
Me and my angel/devil’s minion. Depending on what time of day it is. Have I mentioned that on TUESDAY – as in…in TWO DAYS – my entire family is flying across the country for my brother’s wedding? As in…all FIVE of US plus my Mom? To Arizona? For a whole week? I haven’t mentioned that? Well…we are.

After asking for two years straight now, Nikki finally got her first American Girl Doll. Santa made sure that Lanie (that’s her name)... Read More
Christmas Flashbacks
My first Christmas. Don’t I look utterly enthused? Because I am. I remember. I was totally stoked about that walker right there. You can tell, can’t you? Also – did you have those ornaments covered in thread on your tree? I remember digging those out every Christmas, even up until a several years ago at Dad’s, and every year one of them had disintegrated in storage and those damn strings got tangled up in every OTHER ornament so we spent more time rescuing...

Frosty The Snowbutt
My kids spent the entire car ride home from the Galaxy of Lights last night modifying Christmas songs to incorporate words like Poop. Or even better…Vag!na. (Trying to avoid certain search hits, you know.) As in, “Rudolph the red-nosed Poop, had a very shiny Vag!na.” WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THAT? Do you - A) Tell them that certain talk, especially about private parts or bodily waste, is not acceptable or polite. B) Squelch a giggle and remind them that songs... Read More
