Few and far between

are my blog posts. 

But in my defense, it's been a busy, busy month and I have a lot of good excuses. 

We are going to the mountains this weekend with friends. Does anyone else have fun Memorial weekend plans? 

I'll be back soon to fill you in...  

Peace, love and sunshine!

Follow this...


We had a great anniversary! Brad took the afternoon off and we had lunch on the patio at one of our favorite restaurants.  It was a perfect spring day and reminded us a lot of our wedding day. We had a fun, laid back afternoon and then headed downtown for the evening.  I loved everything about it. 

I believe that Amy and Zach win for the shortest dating period. They married only eight short months after they began dating and Jenifer and Jeremy win for the longest.  They put our six years of dating to shame with a whopping seven and a half years. You know you like someone when your dating years out last many marriages!

I got an iPhone for Mother's Day. Happy Mother's Day to me! I was surprised because I was set on not getting a new phone until mine went to the grave, but I love it.  I'm determined not to be a junkie like someone I know... not to mention any names... but I fear
 that I am following in his footsteps.

Before Brad even gave me my phone, he signed me up for Twitter. It wasn't an option for me. Follow me @Ingramgang.  It will prove to be as boring as this blog. You in? :)

We have a contract on our house!!! We have to be out in a few weeks and have a lot of work ahead of us.  It makes me tired just thinking of it, but I'm really excited and feel super blessed to have our house sell so quickly. 


I had lunch Saturday with two of my very best friends. Happy late birthday, Sarah!!!  You are one hot twenty seven year old!

My mom kept had Noah and Kayt this weekend, so Brad and I enjoyed our quiet Saturday. Thanks mom, you're the best!!!

Hope you had a great weekend also!

Blah-g Week

Lame. I know. 

I have been busy cleaning the house to be shown. I remember from our last house how much work it is having a house on the market, but having two children whose biggest talent is making messes makes this even harder.  I've started telling Noah that people are coming to look to see how clean our house is and that they are going to be looking at his room as well. I'm not sure how much it's helped, but... hey. 

Today we were at Target and Noah made a scene. When we walked by the bras he yelled, HEY MOM,  THOSE ARE DA FANGS THAT WE PUT OUR BOOBS IN! And then he whipped his shirt off and started demonstrating how to use a bra. I couldn't stop him fast enough, he had a crowd of people laughing. Boys (sigh).

Jennifer emailed me and let me in on a huge story that I somehow missed. All this time, I was thinking that I was no mother of the year, yet I was so wrong. Ha! Check this out. It's pretty funny. 


Tomorrow is our anniversary! From what I've been told, we have a fun afternoon planned. I'm excited!!! Brad and I have been married for four years. We dated for six years before we got married and so I feel like we have been together for so long. We have. I can hardly remember life without him. awwww.

Has anyone date longer than six years? It's not for everyone, but it worked well for us. How long did you and your husband date before marrying? Let's see who the earns the shortest and longest dating award...

A Secret Hiding Spot

Kayt gets into everything. Everything, I tell ya. It is just now beginning to bother her brother because (that's a tongue twister) she seems to go for exactly what he is playing with and he can no longer distract her by giving her another toy. She wants what he has and the girl is nothing if not determined. 

This problem hits an all time high when Noah has to take one of his many bathroom breaks during the day. The boy is nothing if not regular. He is out of commission for a good amount of time and his sister has free reign to ANYTHING. 

In the past few weeks, he has realized that the only place she cannot maneuver her way into is the refrigerator. Thus, his new hiding place. 

The problem is that he usually forgets to reclaim his hidden treasure so guess who finds it? Last week I opened the refrigerator and ten baseball sized balls came rolling out on my head. I've found his baseball bat in there. It's a common place for finding his glove and you can't forget his green Crocs that Kayt loves to wear.  There was a Matchbox ice cream truck in the drawer with the cheese and the new pillows that I bought for his bed were on the top shelf. The list continues with everything from football player figurines to his Harlem Globetrotter brochure.  

All is fair in love and siblinghood. 

But I think I will put a sign on our refrigerator door that says, Open at Your Own Risk! because I cannot be held liable for any injuries that may happen to our friends due to the creativity of my boy.
