I received a bill recently from one of my favorite companies – Ferrellgas. I love to give them as much money as I can because they’re such a great company. They’ve even given me the opportunity to give them more money than the current going rates a couple times now, by charging me about $200Continue reading “A Few of My Favorite Things”

A Time-Consuming Addiction
The first step of solving a problem is admitting you have one. I have recently admitted to being addicted to looking at, making offers on, but not actually buying lakeshore real estate. I took a drive both Saturday and Sunday afternoon out to nearby lakes to see what property was available on a couple ofContinue reading “A Time-Consuming Addiction”
Potato Days Whist Tournament 2008
Today was the 2008 version of the Potato Days Whist Tournament. For the rules and processes, you can check out my 2006 or 2007 entry. Looking back at the scores from the last few years, it looks like I’m moving in the right direction. I finished in an official tie for 5th with 48 pointsContinue reading “Potato Days Whist Tournament 2008”
Parrot
Amelia has really bulked up on her vocabulary lately, and it’s so much fun to hear her learn new words. Of course, her favorite words are still some variety of "Daddy do it" or "Mia do it". She has learned all the common words she needs and is constantly dropping words I didn’t know thatContinue reading “Parrot”
Becky’s 2nd Post – 15 year class reunion
This past weekend was my 15 year class reunion and my hometown’s 125th birthday. The 4 of us made the trek back to my hometown to check it out. We got there on Friday evening and Eric and I went out to the street dance – at the taunting of my sisters. (I was extremelyContinue reading “Becky’s 2nd Post – 15 year class reunion”
A Rare Rendev-Vous with My Cousins
Becky finds it weird when I tell her I don’t really know my cousins. She has like 30 and grew up with 20 of them, so she knows everything about how they were like when they were growing up. I have 7 1/2 and really don’t see them very often. I have two and halfContinue reading “A Rare Rendev-Vous with My Cousins”
Where Does All the Time Go?
Here I go again falling behind on blog entries. It’s been a very hectic month. It seems like every night we have something going on – or it’s nice enough outside that we decide to do something. By the time I get the girls to bed I’ve either been too tired or had too muchContinue reading “Where Does All the Time Go?”

He is 20 1/2 inches tall. Kari and Sawyer are doing great. Parker just got to meet his baby brother andContinue reading “Sawyer Ashton Newell”
One Packed Weekend
We tried to do it all this weekend. It seems whenever Becky’s cousin has a wedding it’s time for us to try to jam three weekends worth of activities into one. I could probably write an article about many of the events, but I’ll try to touch on them quickly: The Wedding Becky’s cousin, Mark,Continue reading “One Packed Weekend”
Amelia and Her Puzzles
Amelia really has grown up quickly over the last few months. She’s been behind Katie’s development pace in just about everything up until now, so it’s been really interesting to seem how far she’s come so fast. By her second birthday, she could only say the most basic of words and couldn’t really put togetherContinue reading “Amelia and Her Puzzles”
