Since one person read my last post (or at least only one commented), let me just tell you that
my baby
is rolling over!
That's right folks, he's mobile.
Sort of. He only did it once but he'll do it again.

Alas, my joy is clouded by my confusion (not really but read on).
I have NO IDEA what to get Big A for Christmas.

Every year, I get him a book.
The man doesn't read. I do.

I just have no idea. And he (like everyone else) always says "I don't know" when you ask.

What to do? I really don't want to get him another book (although I did find a father/son book but it's from the boys so it doesn't count).

What are you getting your husbands (or fathers, boyfriends, men in your life)?
Are they outdoorsy? Husker fans? Fitness buffs?

Every year it's the same thing...I have no idea what to buy. When I do, he usually returns it anyway.

Did you get new professional pics? I like them!

well, i have little money... i am dating Big-D again, and i was trying to think of what to get him... especially because his Bday is THIS FRIDAY! So - for his bday, I got him a sweater. It just so happens to have stripes of both our fav colors. My fav color is choc brown & his is blue. Ok - so, now for christmas. I am highlighting my fav moments spent with him... most of them dates, but not all. Anyway, I am choosing little things that are symbols of those moments and wrapping them and numbering them in the order he is to open them in. on each little individual gift I am writing a note about the favorite moment. So, one example is going to Jackson Hole with him last year. We had the best pancakes at Jedediah's House of Sourdough. So, I am wrapping a little thing of pure maple syrup. Then the last one I am gonna tell him is how much I love all of our "snuggle time" and I am wrapping up 2 pillowcases (even tho we aren't sleeping together--it still represents "snuggle time" to me). I am sewing the pillowcases and I got fabric with his fav college football team (BYU Cougars). Anyway... I am sure whatever you decide will be good! Good luck and keep us posted!

My husband is hard to shop for too! He is a computer systems admin, so anything computer I could get him would be WRONG. At least he has cycling as a hobby... that's somewhat helpful.

Awww well done squirt!! :D :)

I'm expecting either earrings or a anklet off my Mr this year.
He's got me jewelery every year for Christmas(I'm wondering if he will ever catch on that I don't wear jewelery!!)
Maybe one year it might be that special kinda ring that I've dreamed on since meeting him!!

I'm guessing a Husky fan is a some of sport fan?!

Jon's Mum has got him tickets to see his football team play so that's my idea on the window. so going to get him something to do with his new obsession - The Gym.

MOB Society: Bragging on Boys

-

Like my friend Erin shared in her "bragging" post, I don't necessarily want to "brag" about my boys but I am overjoyed at some of their accomplishments recently! So I will share with you! Moose is doing wonderfully at school. We moved him to the afternoon classroom and his teacher said that his behavior problems that they saw in the morning have virtually disappeared. Great! Twice last week (once at school and once at Sunday School) his teachers told me that he shared with someone. What a sigh of relief that one is; sharing is so hard but to know that what I'm implementing at home is working (even the itsy bitsiest bit!) is a relief.  I've noticed that baby toys are most enjoyed by the older crowd. Moose is also reading! I got the sight word list that kindergarteners start off with from his teacher - he read them all for me this morning. I bought a Chuggington book for him on their last book order - he read it by himself after only having it read

Greater (movie review)

Sports movies are some of my favorite ones; even better if they are underdog stories! "Greater" is just that - a true underdog story about Brandon Bulsworth who could be called the greatest walk-on in the history of college football. The movie follows Bulsworth from the time he's a kid. His mother is raising he and his brother (who is quite a bit older; old enough to be mistaken for his dad, laughably). His brother gives him a kick in the pants when Brandon claims he wants to play for the Arkansas Razorbacks. Brandon was a heavy kid so no one really thought it would happen. However, Brandon worked as hard as he could and made it. Walked on the team and caught the attention of his coach who put some amazing work into this kid to help him become better. I love when coaches look at the heart of a player more than ability. This really is an amazing story, an amazing movie - full of inspiration and encouragement. Things that seem impossible become possible. The rea

Big A is forever telling me to not say certain things on the road. Don't call me dear. Don't gasp or shout; I'll think there's a deer. Although these are paraphrased (and he claims he's never said the first one), these are the basis for this tale. We went to the Husker game last night. Scratch that - we worked at the Husker game last night. We helped his aunt (and her church) sell backrests as a fundraiser. Big A has done this most of last year & all of this year so far. He loves it. You sell backrests until kickoff, then you watch the game, and pick up the rests after. You're there 90 minutes before game time and for about an hour or so after the game. And you sometimes get leftover food (Runzas and hotdogs and popcorn - please fine out what a Runza is for those of you who aren't from Nebraska....it's so yummy!). Anyway...we went to the game & a few of our friends helped pick up the chairs voluntarily after so (with that help plus our amazing sp
