Ha, you're so cute! I loved reading and learning more about you! I just think you are AWESOME!!

Hey, sorry I didn't make it to the Pampered Chef party. I had been gone all week for school, and Tyler was NOT about to let me sneak out for a party, and leave him alone yet again with our little beast of a 2 year old!! Thanks again for thinking of me, and sorry again for missing the party! :)

Did I tag you? Don't remember having to do one myself. Let's hope I don't have to again.

I get it now...the green one corresponds to the tag I sent you. It looks kind-of familiar but my mind is mush so forgive me for not remembering. I'd say my totally forgetting the entire thing is way worse than you not responding after being tagged in what did you say, early summer?

I check your blog every now and again. I love learning new things about your family. You have the most adorable family. I liked your tag. So cute.
