:: Happy 60th Anniversary Nanny & Papa ::

We celebrated Nanny & Papa's 60th Wedding Anniversary at Northview Golf and Country Club on Sunday afternoon :: It was a great time to see the family - we don't often see each other except for Christmas, quite of few of us are married now have our own families so it's hard to get us all in one place!

If you need any extra joy - come by my way, I've got plenty to go around!

:: Hollywood Divorce (Surprise) ::

Didya hear?

Britney Spears has written up divorce papers and served them to Kevin Federline...Surprise eh?!?!?!

Ugh, it disgusts me how marriage and the spiritual bond that is supposed to be in marriage is being deleted by ignorant selfish people!

I'm out to prove that you can be a whole individual, be married under God's commands and still have fun (a whole heck of a lot of fun)!

Britney Spears files for divorce, cites irreconcilable differences

The pop princess filed for divorce Tuesday from her husband, former backup dancer and aspiring rapper Kevin Federline. The Los Angeles County Superior Court filing cites "irreconcilable differences." Spears, 24, married Federline, 28, in 2004. They have a one-year-old son, Sean Preston, and an infant son who was born Sept. 12. The divorce papers identify the baby as Jayden James Federline.

In the divorce papers, which do not mention a prenuptial agreement, Spears asks for custody of the couple's two children, with visitation rights for Federline. The filing does list as separate property, and thereby off-limits to Federline, "miscellaneous jewelry and other personal affects," earnings and other assets to be determined later.

Spears' declaration that she and Federline had no community assets indicate the pair had a prenuptial agreement and don't want to disclose to the court their divorce settlement, said Leon Bennett, a divorce lawyer.

The filing also stated the marriage occurred Oct. 6, 2004, a few weeks after a widely covered wedding ceremony.

Federline at the time explained the two ceremonies by saying that the couple had moved the wedding date up to throw off the media, but doing so did not give their lawyers time to finish their prenup.

I really could care less about the selfish adults that are making these choices, but what about the kids - those poor kids. Lord, put people in Britney's life that will direct her to you as well as her children -- Keep them in your hand.

:: Fall Walk ::

A week ago we went for a walk to our local Starbucks :: Paul had gone to get a haircut so Jacob and I decided to surprise him and go for a walk - we had such a great time just hanging out as a family...

:: Sequence ::

Remember a while ago, we went over to Matt & Lisa's for a game of sequence - well even if you don't - here are the pictures from that night ( I have a lot of catching up to do!):

:: Paul enjoying his coffee ::

:: Matt laughing ::

(I told you I would post this on my blog - He was getting annoyed that I was taking pictures of everything!):: Paul & Lisa diggin' into the caramel corn :::: Me & My Lover :::: My coffee, game chips & cards ::

FYI: The GIRLS won the sequence challenge - Just in case you were wondering :)

:: Thursday Dinner @ Nana & Papa's ::

When we were out for dinner last week, or maybe even the week before - heck I can't remember!??!?! ANYway, we were at Paul's parents place and they put together a jolly jumper for Jacob...Now, being a first time Mama I am a little wary of contraptions that my son gets put in, especially contraptions that are as old as Jacob Auntie Jen (25).

At any rate, here are the pictures from the blessed event:

:: I'm Back ::

Well, after a long week & weekend I am back into the routine of daily life and it feels so good.

We had so many things going on over the last week that I didn't know which end was up! But now I'm back to being normal (whatever that is :p) and so I'm going to post pictures from our last few adventures!

I'll be back...

Too busy for God?

Nope, but in the midst of all of the daily "going-ons" in my life I totally forgot to call Rebecca and tell her that we were not going to make it out to cell tonight - Oops, Sorry Bec!

I also have to apologize to Kristin...hope you enjoyed chapters 5 & 6 :)

I took this picture of the beautiful sky & trees out my own back door...how amazing is God's creation!?!?!

Jessi, these pics are for you... He's almost 5 months here:

This is what Jacob does while I blog, clean or bake - So PRECIOUS (at least to me)

Here he is when he was just 10 hours new :)

Terrible Blogging Buddy

Okay, so I have let my blog slip...but frankly, I'm not going to watch life pass me by while I blog. So I have cut back on my bloggin addiction :)

*NEWS FLASH*
The "Laderoute Stroller Search" has come to an end, tonight we purchased this beauty:

It was a great deal considering that we checked out the same one at TJ's Kiddie store and they were asking $459.00 for a very used one! We paid $230.00 and it was just used for 6 months!

We feel like we got a steal of a deal considering the price you can pay for a Peg Perego stroller.

As a bonus we also got the matching car seat:

So now we will have to try and sell our Peg Perego car seat that we bought for Jacob prior to him arriving!

This is the one that we need to get rid of:

It makes me sad thinking that we will have to get rid of the very first seat that Jacob was ever in but what was I going to do - Keep it forever? It's better to have the cash in our pockets...it's worth over $180 new, so I don't know how much to aks for it. It's still in really good condition, almost in better condition than the one we just got!
