Caroline + Kansas = Cool

We're on our way to the airport to pick up my sister, Caroline, for her first visit to Kansas. It's been a long time coming.....we're all excited.

Carter woke exclaiming, "Am I dreaming or do we get to pick up Caroline today?!"

Love his enthusiasm. Love that Caroline will soon be here enjoying our new home with us! Lots of fun stuff planned.

Happy Memorial Day weekend to all of you.

A Whole Lotta Random

I'm taking Coco's Random Photo Friday to a new level by throwing in a couple of random links. Nothing can stop me now!

Check out this link for one of the funniest sites I've seen in a long time. Real family photos. Super awkward. Pure genius.

And, this link will take you to reviews for a wolf shirt on Amazon.com. I know.....why?.....just read the reviews at the bottom. Obviously, the theme caught on. Has anyone else seen this?

On to my little ones.....

Jack in his new choo choo backpack my Aunt Mary sent him for his birthday. Suggesting he loves it seems like an understatement.

Lainey Bug! Getting more blonde by the day. Summer sun should seal the deal!

Our daredevil.

A few additions to the kids' wardrobes......showing allegiance to our new home state.



Carter is sure he wants to go to KU now in Lawrence. I wouldn't mind that at all!

And, finally....it's that time of year.....for pop ice. Kiddos are in heaven!

And, no. He never takes off the boots. Did you know I can read minds?

Redemption

For him and me.

Since yesterday's post was focused on the faults of my husband (and yours after review of the comments), I thought it only fitting to praise him today.

The picture above was given to me for our anniversary (Monday - 9 years of marital bliss!). I absolutely love the art......encompassing two of my favorites - birds and writing. He chose the frame and matting and did a beautiful job, I think.

Guess he's not so bad after all.

My Man Is More Annoying Than Yours And Here Is Why

It's hard for me to write this post because Blake and I are so giddy in love right now.

Like newlyweds. Can't live without each other.

He will fall asleep on the sofa before he'll leave me in the living room to go to bed. I thought he was going to cry last night when I suggested I go to a movie by myself. I'm making lots of homemade dinners and baked goods for the office. Carter is totally grossed out by all of the kisses and hugs. All due to our separation......we're so happy to be together again! It's blissful. I love it.

That being said.......and I do love him dearly.....more today than ever......he still qualifies as Most Annoying Husband Ever.

Why?

Because, I ran an errand a few days ago in his car. Needed to go to Target for a rather large shopping trip and it was raining. I'm terrified of hail damage on my car and our area of the country sees some wicked storms. So, I ask if I can take his and he says I won't be able to fit much in it.

BECAUSE THERE IS A COFFEE TABLE IN THE BACK SEAT FROM THE APARTMENT HE MOVED OUT OF ON APRIL 24th.

He's been driving to work and home with this piece of furniture in the back seat of his car for weeks. WEEKS, people. Why is it not in his trunk? Because that is stuffed full of his bedding and other items from his apartment.

This is on my list, too.....no, we don't live in Texas and we didn't just relocate from Texas. We were in Colorado for over two and a half years. Clearly, there was not an opportunity to remove these stickers. And, my guess is that our lives here in Kansas will deter him from it as well.

I have several other qualifying factors that prove my husband is the most annoying ever. SEVERAL.

All I'm saying is thank God he looks like this:

Blake's good looks have gotten him far in life and staying married to me is highest on that list.

Think yours is more annoying? Prove it.

****I showed this to Blake before publishing it because I wanted his approval, of course. He said that the furniture in the back seat was actually part of a hidden agenda. He's hoping for death via clawfoot coffee table rather than a long life full of Casey. Hmmm......
