Or am I?



Well I am hoping to make my blog posts a little more often than one week apart. But then again, this is sapose to be something that I am inspired to do. I guess I will just write when I am inspired then.


Today we had family photo's taken. Wow was that ever an eye opener! I can't believe these two beauties that God has bestowed on us. It is almost frightening. We started with each girl individually. As I am standing behind Mike (the photographer) trying to stay hidden but still be in the room, my eyes are witnessing model like experience in my girls. It's like this was something they did everyday. He is behind his camera barking out orders and they are following like they totally knew what he wanted. It was so FUNNY! I just couldn't help but laugh. Anyhow, from what I could tell it is going to be a hard decision to make when photo ordering day comes.....or really expensive.


Well after a whirlwind weekend of having grandparents in town, Asotin Fair & Rodeo that includes, animals, parade, rodeo and rides and lets not forget the celebration of Lauryn's THIRD birthday, we are all exhausted. Loving where I am today and looking forward to what is to come.

I am officially a Blogger!


What is a blog?
I have been hearing the blogging term for about two years now. What a strange word, why BLOG? Well, it wasn't until recently that I finally got a clue on what it really meant to Blog. Since descending on my search of the term I have found all kinds of examples. I have read blogs that have made me laugh out loud (not something I do enough), and some that have made me cry so hard I could barely read the writing on the screen. I just can't believe the creativity that has been put into these things. I have been touched in ways I never thought possible, by people I have never met.
Ryan and I have been blessed to live in three different cities since we married almost 8 years ago. During that time we have met and become close friends with too many people to count. Our hearts ache for those we don't see anymore and stories we don't get to hear. There is just something about having a phone call with a three year old hanging on one leg while the 4 year old yells at the top of her lungs.....yes, my days of having long meaningful conversations over the phone are....... well...... on hold. So, I have been searching for something that would allow me to keep in touch with people (my attempt at getting everyone to get a myspace page has failed) and letting them know what we are up to and of course a way to give updated pictures of the girls. My search has fallen to this....Blogging. Of course, I still have NO WAY of keeping in touch with my parents outside of a phone call, would you believe that they still do not have a dvd player, cell phones OR a computer? How absolutely cool is that?
Okay, so for now I leave you with a lovely picture of my two babies of whom most of you have not seen in a very long time! I also invite you back for a visit whenever you feel like it....I hope to have something meaningful to say. If not, at least there will be pics of the girls.
Loves to you all!
