Margaret Alice

I never had the pleasure of meeting our lovely Grandmother Margaret, but I do so love these pictures mom showed me the other day.



I can't believe the hand in the fishbowl (age 9), or how big that bow is (age 4)! Mother dearest even has a copy of each of these for all of us, maybe she'll find them soon...

Megan the Amazing!

For those of you not already aware, Megan is amazing! Why else would we call her Amazo!

Several weeks ago, Meggie and I went to JoAnn's to purchase some fabric for her to make me a gym bag (I do believe that many of you will think this is a diaper bag, but rest assured it is not!) Soon after I would ask her how my bag was coming. I would get no response, or a "I haven't even cut it out yet."

I have been anxiously anticipating this item as it is:

A) extremely cute!

B) very practical!

C) has numerous pockets for my iPod, heart rate monitor, cycling shoes, keys and lip gloss!

So, Saturday morning I head up to "Imperial Kingdom" for waffle Saturday. Megan tells me to wait as she has something for me. I have no idea what it is that she may be giving me. I close my eyes and hold out my hand and this lovely bag is placed on my arm!

You can see that the lining is a different fabric.....I have been warned by January that I'd better keep a close watch on my bag or she will come and cut the lining out (as she loves it so much!!)

So, if you were every questioning Megan and her amazingness......here is living proof of all her amazingness!!

Happy Mother's Day!

For Mother's Day we had a rip roaring good time eating tomatillo burritos and getting in some croquet time.


There was also an attempt to take family pictures for Judd's fam. See how well everyone looks at the camera?
Then of course the girls wanted their own beauty shots. A pretty good way to spend a Sunday afternoon, I'd say.

12 days and a wakeup ...

until Matt and I come. Not that I'm counting down or anything. Here are a few things I'm looking forward to:




**Sadly (and stupidly), I have no good pictures of the family I am excited to see in Utah. I will have to remedy that situation when we're there!**
