brighter days ahead


Cute Picture of the Day

Britton really wants to go to the beach. This morning she woke up and started yelling "It's summer!" Hoping that would convince me to take her swimming. I thought about heading down to Baja for a few days, but I checked our budget and couldn't fit the trip in. So she decided to wear her swimsuit and sunglasses to the famous indoor pool in our bathroom. Maybe we'll make a countdown chain. Only five more months until summer!




James has picked up his guitar again. Isn't it fabulous? He is trying to start up a band with his brother-in-law Mike (tall guy below doing the ice cream and cake dance). They've jammed a few times and are starting to get some other guys interested in playing with them. They need a name, though. James wants to start a blog, but won't until they have a name for the band to use in the address. I suggested they should just call their blog 'James and Mike's awesome band blog,' but James says that he wants people to be able to find them easily once their name gets around. Any suggestions on band names? Literary Fellows? The Wet Towels?



At Becky's birthday everybody learned the ice cream and cake dance to earn a piece of my delectable german chocolate cake.

I've always wanted there to be a band called Mischievous Chickens... but pronouced, mis-chiv-us in stead of mis-cheev-e-us.... But he probably wouldn't go for that... and my ROCK BAND band name is Moore2Love... :) Naming a band is almost as important as if the band sounds good, case in point, The Butthole Surfers... didn't last long... and could you guess why? What ever it is, it should reflect their personalities and be quirky enough to be remembered. Let me know whta they come up with!

Beth! Maybe we should pool our resources and take that trip to Baja---cause I could use a little sunshine and break ;) Britton is looking pretty darn stylish in her swimsuit and sunglasses, wish I could have that much fashion sense. How are you doing. I just noticed that you called, I"m so sorry. We were napping when you called and then I guess I forgot to look at my phone afterword.

That is a very very gold guitar!
I think that our winter is gone myself! There is hardly any snow left here. Aaron thinks that that was our winter. Only time will tell.

Amie has been asking to go swimming too. At least she hasn't tried putting on her swimsuit. Good luck with finding a name.

Hey Beth. Yes we did get your old apartment, it's weird I keep thinking wow Beth used to live here. They did a really good job fixing up the apartment. Your blog is so cute. I can't believe how big Britton is. That's fun that your husband wants to start a band, I didn't know he played the guitar. Anyways take care!!!

Man, Britton looks so grown up in that picture!

I'm so glad you posted the ice cream and cake dance! I can't wait to show Jonny tomorrow!
I think their band should be The Anti-Adonis. They're such real (like down-to-earth...kinda) and adventurous men instead of some static image of perfection.
OR
the Mushinators (very loose avatar reference)

I don't have any clever band names to suggest, but I am digging his guitar! Have fun with your band James!
