Poor MP, Your "Brudder" Is on the Way!

Look at this face...

she is not going to be happy Friday when her Da-Du, Rob, tells her that she is having a little brother! My sister went for a check up today. Please pray that her pregnancy will continue to go well. Poor MP, she has a lot of changes coming her way. She may just have to come live with Wa Wa and Tavis!

We're From The Country and.....

Long time for sure, and I don't even know if anyone even looks at this thing, but I have a new discovery. Evidently, if I turn on Nashville Star my wife turns into the biggest backwoods redneck you have ever met. In the 30 minutes we were watching this show my wife said the phrases...

"All the girls er cryin' cause he's gone"
"He'll be modeln' sometime soon"
"That song reminds me of frog giggin with my cousin goat"

Just messing on that last one. She did have another one, but I just can't remember it now.

Happy Birthday Little Daddy!

Happiest 68th Birthday to my Little Daddy!! My sister gave him that name long ago, and although he may be small in stature, he is one of the most amazing people I have ever known! I love my dad more than I could ever put into words. He is a loving and encouraging daddy, Poppy and friend. I am so thankful that God gave me such a wonderful daddy that modeled what a father, husband and friend should be. He is one of the loves of my life, and I get to spend a whole week with him very soon! He’s a pretty darn good cook too! Happiest Birthday, Little Daddy! Here’s to 68 more!

Thanks, Daddy, for showing me your love!

New Stuff

I added 3 new paintings to my art blog, Walliekattz. (Check them out).

3 Down, 100 To Go!

I awoke this morning to the smell of eggs and sausage! Travis surprised me with breakfast on our 3rd anniversary. I really can't believe it has been three years already, but I am certain that even 100 more won't be enough! I love you, Travis.

Happy Birthday Travioli!

Happiest Birthday to my best friend! I won’t get too sappy. I think I wear Travis out with my sappiness especially when it’s publicly proclaimed.

We celebrated with Tyler and Katelyn and went to the Gherst Haus – it’s a tradition now. Unfortunately we found out that Hans, our beloved polka player, had passed away. The lady in the lederhosen said, “He had one hell of a funeral!” Yeah Hans, he polka-ed his way home. He will be missed, but we shall polka again on the other side.


Travis and Hans from birthday '07.

Today Travis turns 26, and I am so thankful for another year spent with the one I love. I think we will go eat pizza tonight to continue the celebration. He asked for pizza the other night, but I replied, “let’s hold off. I’m concerned about your fat intake. I do want to keep you around for another year!” This was after he ate a kielbasas the size of my forearm at the Gherst Haus!

Travis, I love you so much, and I am so thankful that you are in my life. God did such a good job when He made you. You are a wonderful man, and it is my joy to be your wife! Thanks for asking me ☺! He could not have picked a better husband and friend for me. Good job, God! Happy 26th Year to you, Travis.

Just a funny picture of Travis that I love. I think this pretty much sums up his personality!

Would you believe I spelled lederhosen all by my self – correctly!

Big Time!

Our little girl is going to be a star! That’s right, Maggie is going to be in Pockets magazine!!! She will be the featured pet in “Pet Corner” in the October 2008 issue. I guess it helps to have a mom in high places. Eat your hearts out Bandito and Sophie

In other cute news....take a look at my other love.


She has decided that sticking out her tongue is the only way to go. Reminds me so much of myself! I love this kid!
