I was all excited about getting an extra hour of sleep due to the “fall back” time change. Well, it turns out that babies do not know about this extra hour that you are supposed to sleep. Meaning that Adrianna woke up for her early morning feeding today at 3:40 a.m. instead of 4:40. (On […]

Two solid meals a day
I started Adrianna on two solid meals a day now. Fruit is also now a regular part of her diet. She really likes bananas and pears. The bananas smelled really good, so I actually got brave enough to taste them myself. They didn’t really taste like bananas to me, but they were pleasant enough. Aren’t […]
Ku Klux Klan and Scattegories
In a previous post, I mentioned how my family loves to pick on each other. Greg also likes to pick on ME, so he fits right in. One time, Greg and I were playing Scattergories with my family. Scattergories is a game that consists of a list of 12 categories. A letter die is rolled. […]
Quality Time with the family
This past weekend at my parents’ house was awesome. Both Karen and Cindy were there, and I really enjoyed their company. We all played Rummikub and Scattergories and also got some scrapbooking in. I am so glad I made the trip. I have been wanting to get in some quality time with my sisters for […]
Quit Sitting on the Job
This isn’t so much a funny thing that was said, but more a laughable reaction to what was said. When Karen was two, she was sitting on our yellow armchair and someone jokingly told her to “Quit sitting on the job.” She raised up her bottom and looked down to see what she was supposedly […]
The Golden Arches and McDonalds
Okay, I am going to pick on Cindy again. We were in Cheyenne and were going to go out to eat. Eating at McDonalds was a big deal for us kids when we were in Cheyenne, because the town we lived in did not have one. Knowing this, Dad asked if we wanted to eat […]
“Amber, did you flunk Will?”
It turns out that my mom actually has written down a few of the funny things us kids have said over the years. It is a virtual gold mine of funny things that we didn’t remember until reading the entries tonight brought them back to mind. We spent several minutes reading the entries and laughing […]
“She’s gonna get her nose pushed in”
Well, in all fairness, I guess the first mistake in using an idiom should be my own. This is one that my mom especially likes to bring up. In 1990 when I was 12 or 13, my mom, dad, and I went to the animal shelter in Cheyenne and ended up adopting a sweet little […]
My Family
My family is loud. We all like to talk, and when we get together, we all talk quite loudly and excitedly. We also like to make fun of each other, especially when one of us makes a mistake in our grammar or messes up the use of an idiom. Something that you might have said […]
My plans for this weekend
I am so excited. I have decided to go visit my family this weekend and do some scrapbooking with my sisters, who will also be visiting my parents. Greg is going to stay here and catch up on some relaxing. And since Adrianna will be with me, I imagine that he will also catch up […]
