Stop Thinking About Me

I know it is early for Chrismas shopping but I like to get a head start so it is not such a huge expense all at once. I have a little collection of gifts strted in my closet. I am getting a late start this year compared to last year. Last Year I started in [...]

Gary’s family had plans to attend the Scottish Festival up in Boise, Idaho. The festival was on September 23 and Mel’s sisters and I had already planned to have her surprise baby shower on that same day. Whenever Mel asked why I wasn’t going with Gary I would just tell her that I didn’t want [...]

It’s true. I lied to Melanie. I told her we were throwing her a bay shower on October 14th but it was really a surprise shower on September 23rd. I think I am off the hook.
I got together with Mel’s sisters a few weeks ago and we came up with a theme that was perfect [...]

Mel’s baby shower is coming up. It is October 14, @3:30pm at my house. I think my favorite part of the planning has been all of the opportunities I have been given to tease Mel. “Hey Mel, I talked to your sisters today and we are having so much fun planning things. Don’t you wish [...]

Holden is my little monkey boy and he gets into everything. I go crazy when he is in the kitchen when I am doing dishes, making dinner or lunch, cleaning, etc… He can’t control his impulse to touch everything that he knows he’s not allowed to. Our plan was to get a gate to put [...]

Shortly after Olivia was born Gary and I got satellite TV. And shortly after Holden was born we got rid of it. It was one of those decisions we made that I thought that I might regret. I thought I was going to hate it being gone but soon found out that I didn’t really miss [...]

I finally figured it out. I was able to get a TON of pictures up in the gallery. I made a new picture album called “Mitchell Mischief” and it is filled with all of the mischief my kids have been caught doing. I have a few of Gary too since they are hilarious.
I am sorry that the [...]

The other morning I was in my bed feeding the baby when I heard Holden Crying. I thought he was in his room and he had just woken up scared. He usually comes into my room in the mornings so I thought that “any minute he’ll come in here”. He kept crying and I just [...]

I took Gray to JC Penney to get his picture taken when he was 1 week old. I had scheduled another picture session for the next day with all of hte kids and it was a total disaster. Gray would not stop crying and he kept putting his hands in front of his face. Holden [...]
