Sunday-Funday

-
On Sunday we got a break from rain, so we headed to the lake with Matt and Becca, as well as NeeNee.  The picture above is of Matt and Ada in the boat that my Dad built.  The picture below is Caleb in it.
Roman, Loralie, and Ada had fun throwing rocks in the water and riding their bikes.  We grilled out and hung out and a fun time was had by all.

Her Heart Belongs to ELMO!

-
Loralie has had a love for all things Elmo from the time she was three months old. I am not exaggerating. When she was just a wee little thing I turned on Sesame Street just to see if she would watch it (she pretty much ignored all other TV at the time). She was indifferent to the bulk of the show, but as soon as the theme song for "Elmo's World" started playing, she was totally sucked in! Now, I know what you are thinking. "There is no need for a baby to watch TV." And I would probably agree with you. But once you have seen the pure joy on her face when she sees that furry little guy your heart will melt and your ideals will cave, and pretty soon you are singing along... La la la la, la la la la, Elmo's World! Now that she is a little older, she asks to watch Elmo about five times a day. Sometimes she hands you the remote and says "Elmo!". Sometimes she walk over and turns the TV on and says "Elmo!". Sometimes she flat out demands to wa...

Conversations with My Father

-
I got my Dad this really cool book for Christmas. It is called "Conversations with My Father" and it is a book of questions that you sit down and ask your Dad all about his life. I am excited to start working on it with my Dad, but I thought it would also be fun to record my own answers to some of the questions. My book would be called "Conversations with Loralie's Mom." He he. Anyways, the first page is all about your childhood, so here goes. I was born on May 20th, 1980 in Portland OR. I was definatley delivered in a hospital, no hippy dippy home births here. The only thing unusual about my birth, as far as I know, is that I was delivered precisely on my due date. I like to be on time. I think it is a courtesy to others. My parents named me Niki Rochelle Brummett. My mom picked out the first name, after a friend she had had. My dad picked the Rochelle, because he said that the Niki was fun and flirty, but the Rochelle was beautiful and ladylike. T...

My Mom and the Mailman

-
This story falls under the category of "kids say the darnedest things". When I was about two years old, my parents sat me down to tell me the exciting news that I was going to have a baby brother or sister. My response was "The mailman will be sooo happy!!!" To which my Dad replied "Say what?!?!" He always says it's a good thing I was born with the Brummett gap between my teeth, or Mom would have had a little explaining to do! They still to this day do not know why I felt our mailman would be the most excited about the new addition to our family!
