Fan From Day One!
We went to the first game for the Omaha Nighthawks football team last Friday. It was THE best game of any sport that I have ever been to. It was AWESOME! We have season tickets with two other couples from our church. I am looking forward to the next game this weekend!

Some recent videos of Malachi
Malachi eating his 1st birthday cake.
Malachi is finally crawling at 1 year old!
We went to the Hard Luck Diner in Branson, MO., and one of the waiters sang to Malachi. All of the waiters take turns singing while you eat.

Love at first sight???
My friend Jill and I have been friends for several years now. Her daughter Ally is 4 months older than Isaac. We have hung out alot since the two of them were born and they have become good friends too. Almost TOO good of friends. Can love start to blossom at the young age of only a few months old??
Ally: "Isaac says that I'm his girlfriend."
Me (sarcastically): "Isaac, you guys are too young to be talking about girlfriends and boyfriends. Ally is your good friend that is a girl, but not your girlfriend."
Isaac: "But I like Ally."
Me: "That's good that you like her, but she's not your girlfriend."
Isaac: "Yes, she's my girlfriend, cuz I like her."
Ally: "When we grow up we are going to get married."
Isaac to Ally: "But there is another girl that wants to marry me. Her name is Jocelyn."
Ally: "Well when we grow up we are going to get married. And I am going to get a wedding dress. And if she gets a wedding dress and tells you that she is going to marry you, you need to say something to her because I am going to marry you."
Isaac: "I am going to get a black suit and marry you."
At this point, Jill turns to me and says "I think it's time for us to go because we are going to be deciding on cakes soon if we don't break up this conversation!"
Ally: "Isaac, after we get married we have to get a house. We will have to build a house. And then we will sleep together."
And now Jill says to me "OK! We definitely need to go now!"
~~~~~ Jump ahead 4 years to the present ~~~~~
A conversation that took place tonight between the two of them (as best as I can remember it because Jill and I were laughing so hard through most of it).Ally: "Isaac says that I'm his girlfriend."

Isaac: "But I like Ally."
Me: "That's good that you like her, but she's not your girlfriend."

Helping my honey
I made these Homemade Protein Bars last night for Jason. He is really trying to watch what he eats now. So, I'm trying to be a good wife and help him with it. I also found him a recipe for Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Smoothie that he tried this morning. He really liked it too. He added his protein powder to make it more beneficial for him. I really enjoy opportunities to be the helpmate to my husband that God has designed me to be!
