Zach Attack

Herer are some pictures of Websters' new baby. Babies are fun.

Sasha Webster had her baby!

This is for the fellow former Randolph grads. Mrs. Webster had her third baby, another boy named Zachary Brandon Webster. She is at the hospital but both are doing great. I went and saw them today. I''ll post pictures when I get back to my own computer. Right now I am at Opie and Teri's and my USB cable for my camera doesn't work with their computer. Later!

When you gotta go, you gotta go!

We were sitting there, watching the water and wondering at the complexities of nature when Emmy exclaims "UH OH! I have to go POTTY!" I said to her, "Can you hold it for a few minutes later until we can get you to a gas station?" (I didn't want to take her anywhere at the lake because they were all outhouses and....ewwww ) I got no answer and Tayler, Amber and I were busy picking up all of our belongings. We look over to our left and there she was. I think these pictures explain it all....but I'll narrate anyway. Emmy decided to take the opportunity to "pop a squat" right there in the middle of the park. It was a nice day, so there were quite a few people around, mind you. Needless to say, Emmy ended up dribbling down her pants, so we removed them and comforted her by telling her she looked like she was wearing a bikini....so there she was, in the middle of the park, prancing around in her undies. Oh, to be three again!

A Few Choice Photos...

Amber and I went to see Tayler and Emmy today. Poor Tayler has been stuck at home with the chicken pox. We spent the first part of our day at their house playing around in the yard, and the second part out at Bead's Lake. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures that I took today. There would be more of Tayler, but I wanted to keep the camera out of her face as much as possible...because of the chicken pox and all. Poor kid!

Just a quick note....

Just a quick note to you guys before I head out the door to work. I didn't do much of anything today. I watched tv, checked my email, checked my myspace and played with my dog a little bit. I didn't want you to think that since I hadn't posted anything for awhile that was out chasing bulls in Spain or scaling the Grand Canyon or anything...
On the plus side, I work 5 count them 5 days this week...so, that's pretty awesome. I can't wait to see that paycheck :)...Anyway, I'm headed out the door...thanks for stopping by!

YAY!!!

My mouth still hurts, but I'm happy to report that my computer is now adware free AND is fully equiped with sound capabilities...a small luxury for most...but has made me the happiest little Iowan around!! I'd like to take this opportunity to give Don McKendree a big ol' shoutout! Thanks, pal...I owe you my first born!

Hurty :(

It is now 5:15 a.m. here in Iowa. I have been awake for about 2 1/2 hours. You may be asking yourself, "Why ever would she be awake so early in the morning when she doesn't have to work tomorrow?" The answer, my fellow bloggers is this....I'M HURTY! For some reason or another, my wisdom tooth on my top left side decided it would be fun to grow in such a way, that the tips of the tooth (the jagged, sharp edges) are rammed into the hinge of my mouth where precious and tender flesh resides...or at least it used to. Imagine ramming two fork tines into the hinge of your mouth and leaving them there and everytime you open your mouth, they scrape across your tender flesh. I've resorted to stuffing my mouth with packing peanuts, cotton balls, bread...oh yeah, you heard it...bread. All of which, are only temporary solutions. I'm about ready to take a sander to the tooth and grind it down to the bare nubbins....the only reason I haven't done that yet, is because when I finally DO get dental insurance and can afford to get these suckers yanked out, I want the dentist to have something to hold onto while he's yanking away. I would take a picture for you guys, but a)ursula didn't get such hot reviews, so I'm not really sure pictures are what you guys want and b)my camera is in the car and I'm too lazy to go get it.

Beautiful Nebraska land.....

We went to Nebraska this weekend. It was fun because we got to see our neices and Tayler got to come along too. This was the first time Tayler had been in Nebraska since she was a baby. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures I took on the trip.

Oh yeah!

So, my social life has come to a screeching halt since a)I'm not in Minneapolis and b) I actually work now. So, sorry I've been lagging on the blog posts. I'm going to Nebraska this weekend, so hopefully I will have something up from that. Who knows. But, in the meantime, I did promis you guys a while ago that I would post a pic of my new car on here. And since I've had it over a month, I decided I better get crackin' on posting it for ya.

My Friends....

My weekend's off to a rip-roaring start!

Erin and I kicked off the weekend with a rousing game of literati!

Fun with faces....

So I found this new program and....

The chaos continues.......

MORTAL CHAOS!!!

I know you guys have waited for these pictures...these things take time. For those of you who haven't heard the story...here goes. Last year when I went to visit Erin for my birthday, she had a gift certificate to a bar that was about to expire...so we said "what the heck?" When we arrived, there was a band playing...the band was "Mortal Chaos". Thus, begins the tradition. I usually try to visit Erin every year sometime in February. So, this year I went to http://www.mortalchaos.com and saw that they would be playing in Burnsville on the 18th of February. But this time, we would be prepared. We got out the crimpers and the blue eyeshadow. We even wrote a song about mortal chaos to get us in the mood for their 80's vibe. We had and awesome time and met some really cool people. There was this guy there...he's got the long hair in that picture with erin and the five polish guys....he knew every single word of every single song. Here are some pictures of me and Erin with a couple band members. The one in the black shirt is Pat and the one in the white shirt is Sam. We may not know every word, but we are forever....their super fans. :)

FORE!!!!!

Ever wonder what it would be like to climb into a pool of golf balls? So did we :)

Be cool, stay in school...

Somehow Erin, John and I got on the subject of grammar and the correct use of the word it and its and it's. I thought I had it all figured out...turns out I have been using the wrong form of the possessive its for a good portion of my life...for the record...Here's the rule.
Its or It's?
Its is the possessive pronoun; it modifies a noun.
It's is a contraction of it is or it has.
Incorrect: The mother cat carried it's kitten in it's mouth. (Possessive pronoun, no apostrophe)
Correct: The mother cat carried its kitten in its mouth.
Correct: I think it's going to rain today. (Contraction of it is)
Correct: It's been a very long time. (Contraction of it has)

A little grammar lesson now and again never hurt anyone...this little tidbit totally rocked my world. Thanks for opening my eyes, guys!

eh hem DRUMROLL PLEASE.......

Okay okay, I get the hint! You all want to see pictures of Erin's husband, John. I wasn't stalling, I am trying to go by a timeline here. This is Erin and John just before we started getting ready for the Mortal Chaos concert. Aren't they cutie? I don't know John's email, but I will get it....then you can all email him and tell him how cute he is. That would be fun!! Hmmm...what facts can I give you about John? Besides the fact that he's Erin's husband, he likes to golf, he likes the Beatles (trust me), he likes to play Phase 10 (as long as he wins), he can cook a mean fajita (and just about anything else). He often describes his and Erin's relationship as "a real life Dharma and Greg". Also, his car's name is Calvin. Okay, okay, so he really didn't have much, well, any say in his car's name, but Calvin is a really fitting name for a Volkswagon, Cabrio...don't you think? John also went up about three cool notches in my book because I recently learned that he used to own a Volkswagon Rabbit. God, I love that!

More fun with Germans

Here's a hodge podge of pictures from the german bar. A good time was had by plenty. I especially like the one of Erin pinching the bartender's butt. It must happen a lot because he doesn't even seem phased by it. The guy in the glasses...I'm not sure his name...but he was gettin' jiggy with us all night. Oh, and just to illustrate just how huge our beers were, that pic of Rick and me is showing my humongous beer and his weenie one.

Fun with Germans
