A Beautiful Combination

If you had to choose, would you rather have chocolate cake, brownies, or cheesecake for dessert?

As for me…well…I say who needs to choose just one.  I think they taste best if you stack them together.  With lots of chocolate cream cheese frosting.

Best dessert.  Ever.

Hammer Time

When we left Oregon, we left some of our favorite kids in the whole wide world.

We are lucky enough to have really cool nieces and nephews.  Now, we are lucky enough to have one more person back there that we love.  I thought you all would like to meet my handsome new little nephew.  He was born yesterday, and I am so sad we weren’t there to meet him in person.  Blast the 14 hour drive between our houses.

So, for now…this will have to do.

Truman Hammer W.

Welcome to the world little guy.  We haven’t had a chance to be formally introduced, but I’m sure we will get along swimmingly.

Is It Too Early For Christmas?

Last weekend my sister and her husband put up their Christmas tree.  I thought they were brilliant!  I was kind of envious, so I tried to convince Mark that we should do the same.  He wasn’t the biggest fan of that idea.  Something about not wanting to skip Thanksgiving and giving it it’s deserved recognition…I don’t know.  So, unfortunately no Christmas decorations will grace our home until next week.  I was ok with it until yesterday. 

He was totally listening to Christmas music.

On purpose.

Cheater.

Family Night

Mark and I aren’t the best at having family night each week.  So, last night we made an big effort to get out and do something meaningful together.  Sweet, right?

We headed for the mall around 10:30pm for the Call Of Duty Black Ops midnight release.  Nothing says love, family, and togetherness than video games.

Mark was so excited for this game to come out, and I thought it would be fun to tag along and document such an important event.

It was pretty entertaining waiting for this game with 75-100 other crazy people.

In the end, Mark was a very happy camper.

And I’m still trying to decide who is more crazy.  Mark…for going to pick up a video game at midnight.  Or me…going along with him so I could document it.

French Fries, Perhaps?

A customer came into work the other day and he brought us a bag of potatoes.  We split the bag up and we each took one home.  I know…it seems kind of lame to take home one potato, but I was really excited because I’ve never seen a potato like this.

It’s as tall as my head.  It’s as big as my little netbook.  It’s the biggest potato I’ve ever seen.

Mark loved it, and we are trying to decide on the best way to use it.

We Should Build Forts More Often

 Sunday night was the perfect night to hang out with some of my family.

We played several rounds of Blokus.  It is a really fun game.  It’s an easy game.  And you can play it in less than 20 minutes…a total win.

Crazy Uncle Mark built Sammi and Jaxon a totally rad fort.  He’s such a fun Uncle.

And since it was Halloween, I had to show off my awesome new tattoos.  Mark decided to grow his hair out for the night.
