A friend of mine has been offering to take pictures of Felix, and I’ve been meaning to take him up on it and send out an Easter card on time. We were trying to get together today, but it just didn’t happen. Joel was about to be mad at me since I made him change his shirt, so we stopped by the park to grab a shot we could use so the cards would go out in time. We were short on time – Felix had just taken his reflux med, so he needed to eat in promptly 30 minutes. We jumped out, walked down to the gazebo, set up the tripod and bam: ready to go. As I was fiddling with the timer on my camera, Angela walks up. “What are you doing?” Me: “Taking pictures, what are you doing?” Angela: “Ohhhh, ok. My turn.” And she poses for her solo shot. I take it, and show her on the screen. “That’s me!” she says. “Yep. That’s you.” Then she walks away. I figure out how to set up the timer, and we are ready to go. I frame the shot with Joel in it, set the timer and walk over to jump in. Here comes Angela. She doesn’t want to miss the shot.
So this will be your Easter card. Because nothing productive happened after I peed my pants.

Well, Corey will be happy.
Felix is getting fat again.
Christmas post.
This post is for all things Christmas. First of all, have a happy one. We miss you all.
I sent most things up to Mom Monday for distribution and had a lot shipped directly there. Except Corey – sent a couple things to Lititz for you and Kylee. Weren’t sure how long you’d be in NC, and one thing was on backorder so it will be later. But now I got an email saying they canceled my order so I will have to investigate. Crap. Well, hope everyone else got you something awesome.
I am going to try to video some Felix opening presents action, but we will see how that goes.
Gage – did you send me a moma package? It is awesome if you did.
Sooo….
Tumblr is like Twitter only better???
I’m up and running

Goodbye summer.
Well, just wanted to say thanks to everyone for driving down another year. It was awesome to see each of you, and Felix had a blast hanging with his grands and uncles, that’s for sure. We came back to find our AC broken, but the guy came to fix it within a couple hours. Felix was hanging out in a diaper, being sponged off under the fan when he arrived. 🙂
Anyway, I know the travel was rough for most of you – I know 95 was a terror when we came up that way – I am appreciative that we don’t have to travel for vacation every year, but all of you do. It was a little less organized than I would prefer, but my grocery list got tossed on Tuesday when we heard about Grandma, and realized we were heading north. The timing felt a little strange, but I can’t think of a better way to get through that than for all of us to be together.
And finally! Kayli came! 🙂
When I get the password for pics I will post a comment.

Here is the recipe if you would like to make it on your own. Truly, I am posting this so next year when I forget my cookbook I am still golden.
1/2 c chunky peanut butter
1/4 c soy sauce
1/4 c sesame oil
1 garlic clove, minced
1 T sugar
1/4 c cider vinegar
4 1/2 t hot pepper oil
1 c sour cream
3 or 4 T milk
3 lb turkey (or chicken)
Combine all ingredients except milk and meat. Thin the sauce with a little milk if necessary to make consistency of softly whipped cream.
The recipe calls for 1/2 of the sauce used as a marinade.
Serve sauce at room temp or heat on low.
Can add sugar for even sweeter sauce or a little cayenne for spicier.
A little late for shark week…

No night swimming with bait in your pocket…
Vaca meals
Trying to plan a bit. Some nights there will be 7 some 10 plus Felix. Any restaurant requests? We might need to make reservations depending…
Who wants to go where, not go out, etc? And when will everyone be around for dinner, or not around?
Gage you still cooking a night? Keep in mind I don’t think we’ll have a grill this year.
Fam pics
Ok family portraits at the beach are scheduled for Tues Aug 17th at 7:00.
I knew I would catch some flack for the dress code, but geez guys! I will compromise on the pants/shorts, but we must all wear white shirts. Google ‘beach portrait’ and see what I mean. I know you would rather wear whatever you feel like (to look like ‘any other regular picture’) but this is not any other regular picture. And I am not paying a couple hundred bucks to see the same worn out T shirt you always wear. So get mad, but then get over it. Wear jeans, shorts, khakis, hell you can even wear capris if you want. But white shirts. Do it for your mother.
