I no-wanna go home!

Yesterday was a bit difficult leaving school... Had to work my "Mama Magic!"

"No, Mama! I no-wanna go home! I wanna stay at Big Boy School!"

"Mama...."

"Ok, Mama! You are pretty fun... let's go home!"

Best Buds?!

Last night we asked Eli again who his best friend was, last night, it was Daddy...

Best Buds!

Last night after learning Eli has an ear infection and sinus infection; the three of us were laying together in Nick and my bed. Nick was telling Eli that Eli is his best buddy when he asked Eli who his best buddy is? Eli replied, "Mama." Melted my heart. Some days it is Mama, some days it is Daddy.

Goodnight moon...

Goodnight stars
Goodnight air
Goodnight noises everywhere...

Sexy Self Portraits

A couple months ago, my Mother-in-law and I were talking about "some people" on FaceBook that post those silly "Sexy Self Portraits" and not just one but TONS of them. Many times the pictures are of themselves in bathrooms, intoxicated, at da club, or lord only knows where. Sometimes they are not alone and they round up their friends to do this as well. They make these facial expressions that are just simply priceless... I am so inspired by their bravery to not only take these pictures, but post them out there for their friends and family to see... I was so inspired that I thought to myself, "Why not? If 'some people' can do a sexy self portrait then you can too, Randi!" And so this is what came out of that...

...super sexy, huh?!

Happy Birthday, Nick/Daddy!

Happy Birthday to my dear husband, Nick! Today we celebrate you and the wonderful person that you are. I can't help but think about how we were only 20 years old when we first met at a house party at the U. I walked into the kitchen and saw you and I thought to myself that you were the tallest person I had ever seen! My girlfriends (Mel Jobe and Jess Dorfsman) both said, "Oh, there's Suds!" Little did I know that this "Suds" guy was the one I would one day marry and have a family with. And little did I know what a wonderful life we would share. 12-ish years later... here we are and it just keeps getting better! I love you so much and am so proud to be your wife!

Happy 32!

Holy crap!

People are actually reading this blog....

Last month almost 500 people read my blog!!?? Wowzas!

I started this little blog as a way of documenting our family life, my thoughts, silly stuff, etc. Something that Eli would be able to look at when he is grown... sort of an electronic Baby Book (Since I haven't done a real baby book!).

Well, to those of you that check in on our little family blog.... Hi! And I hope you enjoy!
