Awesome Website

So, Lindsay, who I share an office with, recently shared a website with me. Remember, I love to be creative. I think scrapbooking is awesome. However, I do not have the time, not the resources to buy everything it takes to make an awesome scrapbook. Hence, this is my new favorite website. WWW.SCRAPBLOG.COM -- check it out. If you are a Mom, if you have friends (haha...of course you do...that sounded bad), if you love pictures, if you have traveled, whatever....this site is awesome. You can totally create awesome scrapbook pages, all online. And, you can print them off at Wal-Mart, for cheap, and they look great, because we tested it out!  (And you really don't even have to share it publicly. You can set the settings to keep it private, and oh yeah, ITS FREE!!). Lindsay and I have been doing about one a day, over our lunches, and then saving them as jpegs and setting them as our screensaver-- aren't we smart? Okay, Lindsay's the smart one, but she's a good teacher. It could possibly be my newest addiction. Just think, in no time, I could have an awesome scrapbook of my babies first year!!

In other news -- Luke & Karlie Mansfield had their baby. Baby Boy Isaac Todd arrived on Friday. He's precious. Now Colton will have another cousin (2nd cousin) to beat up on Meredith with him. After all, he's going to owe her a few poundings! HA :) At the very least, a few "head pats". We had a great weekend - Friday night we went to see Great Grandma Hall, with Grandpa & Grandma Hall. They even took us out for supper, which I figure was the least they could, after walking in to see Great Grandma with a greeting of "boy, he's a little fatty!". She meant well...that's what I'm telling myself! HA Saturday I helped work at the White County Fashion Revue, I joined the committee. I figure its my way of giving back, and I always enjoy seeing what the girls make. Aunt Stacy babysat Colton while Dad worked all day. She loved every minute of it, and spoiled him rotten! Saturday night was a Stockment get together at our place. It rained some, but we toughed it out, and enjoyed a nice evening by the fire. Sunday, we were pretty lazy all day, then a Hancock Family get together that evening. All in all, a fun/busy weekend.

Barack Obama was at Purdue today. Right next door actually. That was kind of cool. Secret Security were all over the place. I didn't get to brush elbows with him, but it was pretty cool to know he was right next door. You know, someone famous. We're getting ready to head out into the heat & humidity (not like it'd be much different outside than it is in our office today...HOT!), for an ice cream social celebrating the new Purdue President's 1 year anniversary. Hard to believe that's been a year ago already. Guess alot has happened in a year's time. This time last year, I was just starting to pack on the pounds. This year, I'm trying my hardest to drop those remaining pounds. That's why we're going outside for ice cream. Calories don't count when it's this hot out!!

Okay...better run. So, stop reading my blog, and go to scrapblog.com, and create something really awesome. Have a great day!

Get Well Soon, Grandpa Kent

 Here's the best way to share Dad's video. Thank you all so much for submitting the clips. This really made him smile (and say some funny things the first time we watched soon after anesthesia). I think it will be treasured company this evening in the hospital. Thank you for your prayers, your thoughts, for answering the phone calls and lifting Dad up. We appreciate all your love and support.  58E2238E-D2E3-4B38-9FF6-AE1E502ABD14.mp4

Covid ... the end. (Hopefully. Maybe. I really don't know....)

 Almost two years ago, exactly, our world drastically changed. Everyone holed up at home, scared to enter the world and catch Covid 19/Corona Virus. (Except Jason, once he got to feeling better from most likely having Covid before it was a known thing, he just went to work everyday like nothing had changed). The world basically shut down  -- special hours, curbside pick up encouraged, no dining room service only drive through or carryout. If someone coughed or sneezed anywhere near you, you were instantly suspicious. Our parents lived on complete edge and worry, taking in every ounce of information the news was constantly throwing in their faces. It was a time of great uncertainty, lots of information being thrown at us from trusted news sources, social media, and hearsay from those in the medical profession.  We spent March to May just trying to figure out our new life. No baseball. No softball. Lots of time with our animals. Lots of crafts. School from home. Porch drop ...

Central Indiana Winter Spectacular

 We kicked off show season with this set of calves in mid-January at the Central Indiana Winter Spectacular, a first time show down in Cloverdale, Indiana. I'm not sure what was more fun - being with our kids and friends at a cattle show, or listening to our kids meddle over the thought of staying in a Motel 6.  (Backstory on this one -- when I worked at Purdue/in the Conference division, I held a few conference at The Hyatt in downtown Indianapolis. When I had events there, I'd earn points. We then would use those points for free night stays....I think I had maybe 15 or so over the years. So, the only hotel my kids know, is a Hyatt, because unbeknownst to them, it was FREE.....which is the ONLY reason we stayed in such a nice place with young kids. So, imagine their dismay when the Motel 6 in Cloverdale didn't have an Eagles Nest rotating up top, or an indoor pool and hot tub/workout area. We have officially raised hotel snobs.....because when we finally took them to the k...
