Happy Birthday! A little late... (on my post that is)

My big girl is 3!!! I can't believe it! She is more fun all the time. Such a little talker and loves to tell dramatic stories. She is the cutest thing in our lives that's for sure! Here are some pictures from our family get together. Sorry I didn't do the usual editing!


















For Nonny

Do you have a Nonny in your life? I hope you do. Maybe she is blood related or maybe she's not, like our Nonny. Nonny is Swedish for Grandma or something of that sort. I'm really not sure. We didn't have the honor of naming her that but all of her grandchildren and great grandchildren call her that. We got to call her that by default because she was our neighbor across the street for about 5 years along with good old Granddad. They are a wonderful couple who are godly and just overall nice people. My girl loves them and they are an adopted set of grandparents to her. There have been so many things that Nonny has done for B and our family but one of our favorites is the handmade raggedy Ann that she made. Well actually she made two because I wouldn't let B really play with the one because I wanted to keep it for a keepsake so she made her another. B loves these dolls and they rotate as her favorite doll. That brings us to the pictures. One of B's other favorite people, Courtney, bought her a dress over a year ago now that looked like one a Raggedy Ann doll might wear. It was a 3T so we are just now getting to use it. She wore it this morning and I couldn't resist taking a picture. So this blog entry is for Nonny (and Courtney). Thanks for making my girl so happy with something as small as a gift and as big as your love for her. I whole heartedly believe in the saying "It takes a Village to raise a child". You both are very important parts of her Village and I am so thankful for the role you have played in shaping who she will be even when she is a Nonny herself!

Sorry again--for the last time.

I'm done apologizing for my lack of posts. I've been consumed by my vintage eBay world and that's all there is to it. Its like an addiction. But it makes our family some extra cash so that's what counts at the moment! Someday maybe I'll be a regular blogger again. But in the meantime, don't miss us too bad! I guess its Blogger Burnout!

I know, I KNOW!!!

I'm so sad that I have been a loser blogger. I do plan to get back into it very regularly. I have just been consumed with life and well really my eBay life. I've figured out how to make some extra cash by scouring yard sales. And I have a fellow friend who goes along for the journey so its even more fun. Spirit seems to enjoy going along most of the time as well. So I know my thousands of regular readers (aka 2 sets of grandparents) are sad that I haven't updated as regularly. Here are a bunch of pics and some videos that are sure to entertain for at least 10 minutes. I'll get up and running regularly soon. Part of it is sloooooooooooooooooooooooooow computer woes as far as loading pics and even trying to mess with blogger which tends to slow down my computer. Now if I could just find that $1500 pair of levis for a buck at a yard sale then I would be fixing that problem as well! Here goes with the updates...
MOTHER'S DAY 2008







Random Cute Pictures...

Well Shockingly Blogger won't let me upload anymore pics at the moment. That is such a problem these days! Enjoy what I have up and I'll get more up later...

Here are links to what I think are some of my most fun entries if you want to talk a walk down memory lane...
