    I love free stuff…

    I also love good music… especially good Christian music. A few days ago I received an advance copy of Monk & Neagle’s new CD- The Twenty-First Time in the mail. It is soooo good!!! It officially comes out September 18th, but if you head over to their webpage or their myspace page you can listen to a few songs now! Or you can click on the image below to watch their video on youtube 🙂

    Done with the Deathly Hallows!

    My head is spinning… my back aches… my eyes hurt… but it was worth it! At approximately 11:30am I finished the very last Harry Potter book. I can now change my homepage back to Yahoo and watch the news without fear of being spoiled. I now know what happens. Don’t worry, I won’t say anything. I hate hearing spoilers and would hate to give away anything if you plan on reading it. I won’t even say if I loved it or hated it… although if you have read it, email me and I’ll let you know what I thought 🙂 Yesterday one of my favorite bloggers finished the book and…

    A boy and his dog

    Jeffrey & Pilot had a great time this weekend playing together. Jeffrey is crawling, so he is now on the same level as poor Pilot! Last time we were up at Mom & Dad’s, we bought a tree swing for Jeffrey. Since everyone was at the house this weekend, we decided to put it up and see if Jeffrey liked it. Well, Jeffrey AND Pilot LOVED it! I think they are Best Friends Forever now!

    Happy 70th!

    This weekend I drove up to celebrate Mema’s 70th birthday with the family. We had a great time hanging out, eating, playing the Crazy Turtle Game, and just admiring this amazing woman who we could not believe was turning 70! I get my unique middle name, Daylene, from her. I must also get some of my sense of adventure from her. At 70, she is an active member of Camping Women and has had many adventures hiking, kayaking, and camping. In fact, her gifts for her birthday included a CamelBak backpack for hiking and a kayaking life jacket! I only hope that when I am 70, I am just as…

    Kenny’s Home!

    Kenny was home all weekend and we made the most of it. The night he got back in town we watched… you guessed it…. Field of Dreams! The wife in that movie gets the award for the most supportive wife in history. I told Kenny that if he ever started to hear voices, I’d probably tell him to go see the doctor, not encourage him to do what the voices say. His reply…”If I start to hear voices?!?” On Saturday morning we woke up early, gave Pilot a haircut and a bath (despite what he might tell you, he really likes it). We then headed over to the mall to…

    Simpler Times…

    Simpler Times… Don’t we all wish times were simpler? In the hustle and bustle and buzz of life, we some times miss the simple things in life that make “life” worth living. Iowa. A hot summer afternoon like one would see in a movie. An empty ball field with a summer wind blowing in from third base, a wind just strong enough to pick up the dry top soil and gently dust the pitcher’s mound and first base. Partly cloudy, but still plenty of blue sky to let you know it was summer. Let’s back up a few steps… I am in Iowa. And I am stuck here for four…

    If you build it… he will come

    …Or at least Kenny will come 🙂 Today, Kenny visited the one attraction in Iowa… The Field of Dreams! You all remember the movie don’t you? Honestly, I don’t remember much, just me & my Dad repeating over and over “If you build it… he will come” 🙂 According to their website, “Baseball fans of all ages will agree that a visit to the Field of Dreams is about as close to heaven as you can get.” Not sure if Kenny felt close to heaven… he is in Iowa after all! He was able to play some ball on the field and even went out and purchased a glove at…
