Babies on the brain.....

I recently had a shower at our house for Ian's sister Danielle. She is due the first week of August and they're having a girl. It was tons of fun and even better to buy girl stuff!!!

*I made the "baby" themed candy on the dessert table. I was thinking about going into the candy makin' biz...until I ran out of patience with it. It was a big hit :)

Roomie

Ian's little brother is staying with us until July, completing an internship with the Chiefs. And...this is what we do in the evenings. They play basketball and I take pictures. Life is good!

*They aren't that good, I just took really cool pics with the new camera.

Louie Photo Shoot

So....we got a new camera! He's such a good sport :)

My Fitness Pal

Thanks to www.myfitnesspal.com I am currently 12.6 lbs. lighter than I was as of 4/6/10. This website is amazing. It tracks your food for you daily, watches your calories, and guides you through weight loss. I love it!!!

Yard Work????

Ian and I decided to update the landscaping in the front yard...BAD idea! Not only did it take all of Sunday, but it consisted of 10 trash bags full of mulch, some borrowed tools from Chris (thanks!), a few minor arguments :) and a borrowed truck to dump the mulch at my dad's shop (thanks Chris and dad!!!)

Note: yard work is now optional for Jess!

Way to go Ian....

Ian will begin working for a new dentist starting Monday. He is very excited. He's a hard worker and deserves the best! Way to go Ian!!!!!!

Thanks, Tod

Welp....the new screen door handle is coming along nicely, thank you Tod! It only took 2 Miller Lite's, Chris' drill, Tod's knowledge and Ian's supervision. AND, I'm sure the neighbors LOVED the fact that we do home improvement tasks at 9:30pm, you're welcome :)

Louie's Sunday

We heard him crying, searched high and low, and sure enough.......I found him behind the washing machine. He's done it again folks!

Ian and I have spent the day trying to "fix" things in the house. Not a whole lot got "fixed". Ian went to 4 different stores trying to find a replacement door knob, we "fixed" the screen door handle with the hammer (still waiting to replace that), organized some closets and finally found time to sit. Louie, in the meantime, got a few naps in, fell off the back of the couch mid-snooze, woke up in quite a haze, then started to "help" us with all of the home improvement tasks. Ah, Sunday.......I could use a redo about now!

I'm such a follower.....

Thanks to Sarah and Callie, a new blog is born!
