First Time in 4 years or ever for that matter!


Well, I thought this would be interesting for some of you....Aaron wearing a Nebraska shirt. It's the first time in our 4 years of marriage that this has happened! I think he maybe wore some Nebraska stuff growing up b/c his grandparents got it for him, but this picture is truly unique for me!! And if you are wondering how i got him to wear it??? Well, come Oct. 21, I have to wear an Oklahoma shirt to the Iowa St. vs. OU game...so there you go! It's worth it for me to have and post this picture!

Public Apology


I just want to publicly apologize to Tracy for my comment about Notre Dame. It just came to my mind, so I wrote it and didn't think about the fact that even when your team is not doing well, which, let's face it, the Huskers aren't doing too hot either, a true fan will still stick with their team. So, Tracy, I am sorry! I personally like the Fighting Irish too! So does my mom!

What a 15 month old CAN DO!!


So, if you are trying to remember the things you did when you were only 15 months old, maybe this can refresh your memory! Let's see, Aja can say the following words: mama (mainly when she's whining), dada, boon (balloon), awpwane (airplane), ball, ooooh, ebow (elbow), bu-bi (bye, bye), fowa (flower), wa-wa, bebut (belly button), babal (basketball hoop), mo (more. She can point to her head, teeth, mouth, belly button, hair, nose, foot, ears, eyes. She calls Sophie by patting her leg. She knows where the key to the mailbox is at, where Sophie's soap is to give her a bath, where Sophie's treats and food are and where the trash can is at. She also likes to dry her hands after washing them and likes to brush her own hair and teeth (but she still doesn't spit yet!). She enjoys going to the park and today she gained the confidence to go down the slide 4 times all by herself. She loves reading books and playing outside. Her hair now fits in a tiny ponytail or two small pig tails! The other day at the store, she was trying on women's size 7 pink high heels, such a girl! We decorated the house on Tuesday for Halloween and she is excited as we are getting her costume ready! Her favorite foods are cheese, chicken, grapes, ranch dressing w/ celery, black beans, bananas, rice krispies, oatmeal cream pies, yogurt, baby fun fruits, milk, water, juice and jello pudding pops. She understands "hola" and "dame cinco" in Spanish. When asked how old she is, she can put one finger up and say "un". She loves taking baths while reading her ducky book. Her favorite books are: Brown Bear, Brown Bear, The Bernstain Bears, Find the Puppy and photo albums. Her favorite shows to watch are Barney and The Big Comfy Couch. She has a baby that she sleeps with and a Cabbage Patch doll named Bianca. Her favorite toys are her Barbie tent, doll stroller, car, and shooting balls toy. What else? She now weighs 20 lbs. 3 oz and is 30 1/2 inches long. She has 4 teeth up top, 4 below w/ her one year molars now coming in! A brief day in the life of a 15 month old. She wakes up at 8:30, eats breakfast, helps clean up (so she thinks), gets dressed, goes to the park or on a walk, plays with her toys, eats lunch at 11:45, takes a nap from 1:15- 3:45, walks to get the mail, eats a snack, waits for daddy to get home, hugs him, plays til dinner, eats dinner at about 6, plays more, pajamas on at 8:15, then story time, then brushes her teeth, then heads to bed right before 9. The day in the life of a 15 month old!! And i guess that pretty much means the day in the life of a 27 year old!!

OUR First Blog Entry



Hi to all of our family and friends! We thought we would start a blog site for those that are interested and want to keep up-to-date with our little family. Aja is now 15 months old today. She, unfortunately, has a pretty bad cold. Aaron came home from work today early b/c he feels sick too. I don't know why I am not the one to feel sick, since all day yesterday I wiped snot from Aja's nose. Plus, any opportunity to hug me, she'd wipe her nose all over my clothes. I probably changed 3 times yesterday. So, while they are both sleeping, I just got back from a 35 minute and 23 second run and now I am starting a blog. Kind of random, but kind of fun too. Aaron and I will celebrate our 4 year anniversary next Wednesday, the 3rd. Aja will be staying w/ the grandparents for 2 whole days! Wow! What else is new? Let's see, Aaron is enjoying his Sooners' win-streak, while Aja and I are trying to keep our spirits up about the HUSKERS. At least we aren't Notre Dame fans. Well, that is all for now. I am not sure how much I'll keep this site up, but I'll do my best!
