My Lori-Jean has moved to Texas. I don't what I'm going to do without her here. But thank goodness for phones, e-mail, & blogs. She just better keep it updated.
We miss you already Lori, Chris, Miss Alexis, & cutie-pie Trystan!

Logic?
To the Hutto family there is a tape. It is loved and loathed by many. While Ben is converting the ABC, 1 2 3 tape to a different format we were watching clips of it. Most of it is funny, but probably only to those in the family. Rydell shares a piece of logic, "If most accidents occur within 5 miles of your home, why not move 10 miles away?" =]

Hmmmm, what do you think?
Ok, so I got this poll. I like doing polls and seeing what other people have said. And wanted to share it. I know cheap thrills. =]

Happy Birthday JaNae!
JaNae's birthday is August 13th. When Josie was born she had these cute shirts made up for the kids as Charisma's. They say "Aunt Nae Is the BEST!" In honor of her birthday I dressed the kids in their matching shirts. I even took pictures. But I forgot to post them because she was working on her birthday & I knew she wouldn't get them. better late than never, i guess.
Happy belated Birthday JaNae!

Josie 6 months & a shoutout
Josie is 6 months old today. I can't believe it's been that long ago & I still haven't sent out a birth announcement. Blah, i suck.
Last week at breastfeeding support group she weighed 18 lbs. 3 oz.
Today she measured in at 18 lbs. 9 oz. and 26 1/2 in. long. She's in the 90th percentile for growth.
And I am proud that we have made it to 6 months exclusively on breastmilk. I only made it to 4 1/2 with Carlise & 5 with Wesley. Now the fun begins of starting solids & introducing juice! We might even attempt making our own baby food this time. Because I hate going to the store now (yes, even Target) and really what's easier that grinding up what everyone else is already eating?
A little shoutout to my George: 4 times this week (3 of those today) Carlise has informed me, "I wanna go see Stacy!" Apparently Ammon isn't entertaining enough for her. =]

I am not alone
I have a new favorite website. It's called Baby Bunching. They coined the term for parents that have children closer than 2 years apart. It's refreshing to read the articles and see comments from fellow baby bunchers. =]

And this is why we don't have it in our home
Here is a link to an article that addresses it like it really is. If you notice the URL it's actually labeled "anti marriage". sad, very sad. But at least it's not in our home and our kids aren't watching it. I love being broke when it comes to things like this. =]

the simple dollar
I was googling during naptime this morning and it led me to this great site. I've been reading for over an hour and love every article I've read so far. It's called The Simple Dollar.
"The Simple Dollar is for those of us who need both cents and sense: people fighting debt and bad spending habits while building a financially secure future and still affording a latte or two. Our busy lives are crazy enough without having to compare five hundred mutual funds - we just want simple ways to manage our finances and save a little money."
Trent is a down to earth guy. That is married, has a kid, and LOTS of debt. Every Friday he reviews a personal finance book of interest. I recommend starting with "my story" & "best of..."
