Grandpa, you will be missed.

When I remember Grandpa I will remember his smile and his laugh. He loved to laugh. He loved his family. He loved to farm. I loved to watch him farm. I love you Grandpa. We'll miss you so much!

The Damn Cake.

Okay. Today is a very special day to me. I can't figure out how to write this post without sounding like a bad greeting card. I got married to Dave 6 years ago today. Best darn decision of my life. When I think back on where I could have ended up...*thinking*....*shutter*....I want to jump in there air and do a toe touch. Cause Dave is awesome and he's my best friend. We love each other. And we crack each other up. And when I'm with Dave I'm home. It doesn't matter where that is, he's my home. Okay. I'm getting into the greeting card category.

So I was looking through pictures from our wedding day looking for one to post cause I love looking at how hot and skinny was. :) I mean I love looking at other peoples wedding photos so I thought you might like to look at mine. But I found all these more interesting pictures from the blessed event.

NOTE: I have NOT requested permission to post these pictures from the people who are in them. If that's you, lo siento.

I'm sure I'm saying "flowers"....

Okay, face shot of Mike.

Hmm...father and law and brother-in-law...cuddling?

Another face shot of Mike.

Dave getting ransacked with the "ball and chain." Not me. An actual ball and chain.

See.

Our posse. So cool to see that were still friends with these folks.

Cweepee.

Yet another face shot of Mike.


Baby Chase.

"Oh no you di-ent!"

"You best step off!"

Really Mike?

NOTE: Mike obviously had control of our camera during wedding day as we have like 7 other pictures just like this. Thanks for the wedding present Mike!

My favorite wedding day pic of me and Dave, cause its so real. We have that deliriously happy look in our eyes. Thanks for picking me babe!

Are you wondering about the title of this post? Well here it is:
Any guesses on the family drama that unfolded over this "damn cake"? (as it will always be remembered)

Really, I'd LOVE to hear your guesses...

Funny guy Sol

Sol likes to be funny. But lately he's started saying a lot of things that we find amusing, without trying to be funny....

Riding in the car...Ruby babbling to herself...Sol says "No Ruby! No Gaa Gaa's!"

Today we went to the "carvable" (carnival), and Sol was so excited to ride the "Pen-is Wheel" (Ferris Wheel). Pronounced "Pehn-es". Nice.

In Ruby news, today I asked her if she wanted a bottle (she was sucking on a jar) and her head snapped around and looked at me with big bright eyes and she made a high pitched squeal. She was like YES!!!
