Happy 24th Birthday Uncle Darren!!




Today is my oldest brother Darren's 24th birthday.

Darren loves poker, so this cake would have been perfect for him lol!


Darren is my adopted brother, but I love him just the same! He joined our family in 2008 but honestly, I feel like he's been a Kimmel all of his life! :) I haven't seen him in over a year now and I miss him! He is the father to my only nephew Connor, the cutest nephew on the planet! I think he is an awesome father and Connor is pretty darn lucky!

Connor and Darren, circa 2010

Not only is Darren my brother, but he is also Lon's really good friend. Darren was Lon's best man in our wedding and they have been best buds for about two years now. Its a little weird to have my brother be my husband's best friend, but I am not complaining! I love them both and love to spend time with them!

The men of the wedding party, with Darren included :)

Happy birthday Darren! Lon, Alan, Anna and I love you so much. Hope your day is fantastic like you are! Can't wait to see you and Connor again soon!

Top Two Tuesday!! April 19, 2011

Image
Alan is doing tons better this morning, and only had one diarrhea blow out last night. He has two and a half hours left of his liquid diet, and he's no longer contagious after noon today. Unfortunately, that means that he will not be able to go to art class today. :\ But I'm just going to prepare him some "homework" so that he still gets his art projects for that week done. And I'm just thankful last night went billions of times better than Sunday night and that he's doing so much better today. He's starting to act like himself again, which makes me smile. :) Hopefully, he'll be able to go back to daycare by tomorrow. :) And now, for Top Two Tuesday!!

Where do I begin?????? 2015: Lon assaulted a woman and was arrested. Alan started Kindergarten. Anna started preschool at the YMCA. 2016: I became pregnant with Andrea.

Toddler Talk Thursdays and Adventures of a SAHD

I've been debating on whether or not to share some information with you, my lovely blog readers. On one hand it seems slightly too personal to share online because it deals with a family dispute but on the other hand it is about a major change in my family's life, thus should probably be documented. As you can tell, this debate has held me back from posting these past few days, its given me somewhat of a writer's block. And this I apologize for. I have come to the conclusion to let you know what you "Need to know" as the military says lol. I will not share the family dispute with you, because that is uneccessary and unfair to the other members involved. So I will share with you this: For his personal mental health, Lon has quit the Village Inn. He felt that he could not work there any longer in the mental state he was in and could not wait to find another job first, so he quit last Friday. Our plan for him right now is to take a break from the work world for a
