Flag Page

A few weeks ago Jacob and I went to a marriage seminar at church. One of the things they recommended for everyone to do is take a Flag Page test. So we did, here are the results;

Jacob
Talents: People, Task, Creation. Leading & Showman
Country: Peace
Soft/Hard: Soft
Flag: A. Creative, B. Inspirational, C. A Born Leader, D. Deep Thinker, E. Watch People

Melody
Talents: Task, Creation, Leading
Country: Control
Soft/Hard: Hard
Flag: A. Self Sufficient, B. Organized, C. Moves Quick to Action D. Independent, E. Economical

I have taken a few personality test & they all come out the same; but this is a good one for marriage. It was fun to take and talk about the way we work well together and why we operate the way we do in our relationship. The above probably doesn't make much since but if you want to take the time to check it out I think it is worth it.

Food Matters

I watched this documentary a few weeks ago, it has got me thinking. You view the entire film on Netflix instant play. It might just get you thinking too.

To Facebook or Not...

Jacob & I have had some pressure to join Facebook; or in my case, to rejoin Facebook. I signed up originally to find out what the whole craze was about but after being a member for a few months I canceled and moved on with my life. (In the words of Theo, "Not Impressed".)

People talk about Facebook like its the "cool kid" at school and you got to be their friend to be popular. I'm not into being popular or do something just because everyone else is doing it. I figure, I'm not a person who is going to be friends with a lot of people in my life and those that I do want to have a relationships with I will have no matter if I have a virtual relationship with or not.

One reason we would like to join Facebook is because we do have some friends who are not local that we would still like to keep in touch with and Facebook seems like a good place to do it. But that is still not a big motivating factor because we can still keep in touch with them other ways too.

Looking at pictures of and being friends with people online who you can be friends with in real life is just not enough for me to take the plunge. So we'll just sit back & relax with our blog and you can visit us here if you really want to have a virtual relationship with us.

Who knows maybe you'll see us pop up on Facebook some day but until then, the question for us still will be, to Facebook or not to Facebook...

Proud Mom Moment

Cadence's babbling is fun, especially when she is saying Mama. I know she doesn't know what it means yet but it sounds like sweet music to my ears. She has actually babbled Dada a few times too. Check it out

The Broken Yolk

China Syndrome

Jacob - eating the No Name, got to have a giant ice tea to go with it.

Jacob and I had a night away in San Diego for his cousins wedding.

I love to watch Man Vs. Food so I looked up one of his challenges in SD so we could go. My choice was The Broken Yolk where Adam took on the Cafe special. I didn't take that challenge but I had the China Syndrome, Jalapenos, Ortega chilies, green onions, jack cheese, topped with chili, it was A-Freakin-Mazing. It was an awesome experience, I suggest you take a visit.

6 Year Old Teenager

Today is Champ's 6th Birthday. Typically a dog will out grow the puppy stage by 2 years old. Champ has yet to mature. He is still as terrible as ever; really hyper, destroys things & runs away. We keep waiting for him to grow out of it but it has not happened yet.

So, as he gets older and does not grow up, I have come to the resolution that he is stuck in his teenage years. If this is any preview of what raising a teenager is like, we're in for it. Happy Birthday Boy!

6mo Old

My Cady girl is 6 months old. She is growing so fast. Currently she is rolling all over the house & rotating on her stomach. She reaches for everything and loves to have drinks of water out of my cup. She is babbling, smiling & laughing all the time. She still thinks her brother is the greatest thing ever.
