Why is it that when we were younger and getting married, when we tried on wedding dresses we looked so grown up. Now when our daughters try on dresses they look like they are playing dress up?

hi family. its me. just thought you should all know that kristin and i are still alive out here in idaho and its finally warmed up. yup. so nothing new has happened for me. i dont know if i ever got back on and told you all what i changed my major to but its music ed now. heres a picture of kristins ring. its not a very good one becuase my camera started being lame so this is all i could get. but yup. thats all the excitement out here. kris found her dress but im not going to put a picture of it up here just in case jacob happens to stumble upon this blog. he cant see it yet. but heres one that she tried on and not the one shes wearing. its just really funny because she looks like a mushroom. and i giggled from seeing it. but yeah...so...thats all thats going on out here i think. for those of you who care it should make all of you happy to know that i am not dating anyone and therefore will not be getting engaged anytime soon. so i wont cause any heart attacks. haha. which is good because now im the favorite in my family because im not engaged. woo!! ok.

Chaela's Measurements

Hey family. I posted this on my own blog, too, but I don't know how many of you check that, so here it is!

Yesterday I was wondering about how big Chaela was, since she hasn't had a doctor's appointment in a while. It might not be accurate, but I measured her and weighed her here at home, so here's what we have.

Height: 26.5 inches (she's grown 6.5 inches since birth)
Weight: 15.0 pounds (she's gained 8 pounds 6 ounces since birth)
Head Circumference: 17.6 inches (?)

So she's grown half a foot and more than doubled her weight! Yay! I looked online and what I found says that she's below the 5th percentile for weight, right about in the 25th for height, and in the 77th percentile for head circumference. So she has a big head. Oh well, she may be small, but at least she's smart!

Nothing Important Just Stuff

Hey there family!
Happy Birthday to all you June birthday people! Peggy and Erin! Anyone I'm missing?
Are any of you Magnificent Mammaries going to be around next Sunday? That is fathers day I know, but I am, well we are going to be in town for some graduation parties. Olivia and Ethan's on the 15th and I am wondering if any of you want to do a training walk? It would have to be fairly early cause I think the party starts around 2:00. I think we have to go 11 miles that day. We are staying at Melissa and Daves cause April has the nerve to be going on a trip when we are coming into town! Rude! I don't know why she doesn't sit around and wait for us to come home for visits!
We aren't coming to town until Saturday evening cause Jordan is taking the ACT Saturday morning. So any way if anyone wants to walk I will be there. Are there any good places to walk in Morris?
I am starting a job on the Monday when we get home. I am not real excited by where it is but hey its a job right? And it is only 2.5 miles from my house. I can walk if gas gets any higher! It is at the Meijer store that just opened up. I am still going to be looking for something else because I doubt they will want me to take off the day after Thanksgiving (them being retail and all) and I think you all will kick me out of the family if I fail to make the dip again!
Well, thats all here, oh yeah, I had strawberries with my cheerios this morning they came from my very own strawberry patch! Delicious! They gave me extra energy for that 14 mile walk I went on. Will the training ever end?
Oh, and WOW Erin and Molly you guys are almost there with your fundraising! I am jealous although I actually have more than is showing up on my page I am about halfway there. I don't think Lindsay or Kristin are going so Sheryl get moving so I have a tent mate!
See you all next weekend maybe!

Hey family there are a few more pictures of Kristin and Jacob on my blog from when they were down this weekend. I'd post them here but I'm too lazy.
