Budgeting stinks!

Is there anyone who likes to budget??? We are cracking down on ours again, because we are doing everything possible to avoid any debt besides the house and school loans, but man, when you really get down to it, everything costs!!! It's amazing how many "little things" you don't budget for, and how those "little things" add up so darn quick. As much as it stinks, I am glad we are scrutinizing out finances so carefully, becuase it's a good eye-opener on how picking up just a few extras here and there, really do make a big difference. I guess for most all of us, there will never come a time where you just don't have to budget at all, your budget just gets progressively bigger. That reminds me, a 90 year-old hip great-granny I know just told me that her 60 year old son (whom she now lives with) put her on a budget, and she's pretty miffed. I guess when your 90, and raised up a successful son, you just figure you've earned the right to be budget free... one can only hope!

A Beautiful Life

Does life get any better than this?

Wisconsin Trip

Jaxon and I recently returned from a Week in Wisconsin, and here are some pictures to prove it! The flights (3 and a half hours)were what I was most worried about, but I lucked out both ways. Both ways we sat in the bulk head next to an 18 year old girl (different girl each leg) and they LOVED Jax. They immediately held him and started playing with him, and he dug through their purses, played with their ipods etc. I would say he spent about 80% of each flight with the girls. (thank you Melody and Christine wherever you are!!!)He did not cry or get cranky at all either way! I did have to tell one scary crazy guy sitting in the row behind us that Jaxon nor I were allowed to talk to strange men. He then proceeded to introduce himself, so as not to be a stranger, and tried to hold Jaxons hand. I again told him no thank you. He didn't quite get the picture, so I turned around and told him not to touch or talk to Jaxon or I again. Sounds a little rude I know, but he really gave me the creeps, and you can never be to careful!
Jaxon did have a lot of trouble sleeping in a new place, and at 3 am after an hour of crying, I gave in, and we sleep in the bed in his room. I can't believe he even slept, but I was woken up at 6:30 with a hard smack in the nose, followed by hilarious laughter~! After the first night, he got more used to his surroundings, and he slept in his pack-n-play the rest of the time.
Jaxon was obsessed with my sis-in-laws pregnant tummy (small though it is), and while the pictures don't do it justice, he spent about 10 minutes trying to wrestle with it! I think we can safely say that Jaxon is the first cousin to play with soon-to-come baby katie.
The weather was great, mid-70's, but still a little humid for my taste. Wisconsin sure is beautiful though, I can't imagine what it's like to have the forest as your back yard!


Girls camp picture slide-show

Unless you know these girls, you won't be interested in this montage...Robin, this is mostly for you- we miss you!!!!


I LOVE RETIREMENT!!!

Not my own of course! My dad is semi-retired, getting closer to the real-deal all the time, and seems to spend a lot of his time finding/doing/buying fun things to do with/for his grandkids! Here are his two latest purchases~! Jaxon's cousins can't steer very well, but we pull the wheel all the way to the left and tell them just to hold on so the "vehicles" drive in circles. (Jaxon does get a lot of whiplash from the stops and starts) Dad is now on the hunt for a full size 4-wheeler so he can drive them around (he exceeds the weight limit on these bad boys) and also a "surrey" a 4 person bicycle with a cover...man I love retirement. He just got Jaxon a set of toddler size tools so they can work in the yard together.
