  • Updates coming

    I know I haven’t been diligent in keeping the site updated, for which I apologize. I still have some enhancements I’d like to make to the site, which are coming soon. I also have some new pictures to post, which are also on their way. In the meantime, I thought a little video from YouTube would bring a smile to your face.

    It’s a news clip of a report from a field where soldiers are burning huge piles of cocao leaves and marijuana leaves. The reporter get’s high in a matter of seconds. He gets really loopy. It’s quite funny:

    (Here’s a link to the video if it doesn’t play above)

  • Mason’s check-up

    Mason had his 15 month check-up on Friday. All seems to be going well. He grew two inches and gained two pounds since his 12 month appointment. That puts him at 45% for height, 50% for weight, and he stayed steady at 90% for his big ol’ head. The doctor had hoped he would have something that he calls Corinne regularly. She also wants him to start using utensils more often. Guess I’ll have to go get some more Wet Swiffers!

  • Summertime, Summertime, Sum, Sum, Summertime…

    The kids sure love the change in seasons. Corinne, Mason, and I went to Hartford for our annual strawberry picking extravaganza. We picked berries to eat, made jam, rode the tractor/haywagon, and enjoyed the four-wheelers. On Saturday, Tony’s family (sans Tony who was having a golf weekend with the guys) came to town for their jam session (ha, ha!) and to ride as well. The kids sure loved all the extra attention! Papa Bill and Grandma Ann found a slide at a garage sale and scooped it up for us. They love it! Mason climbs up there and looks so proud. Corinne uses it to play king of the mountain. Too bad Mason doesn’t know the rules.

    We are continuing to fix up our home. We bought a new kitchen table and chairs and set up the old table in the basement to use for crafts, sewing, wrapping gifts, etc. It was pretty hammered and two of the chairs were falling apart. I will paint the old chairs that still have some life in them to match the new set. That way we will finally have enough seating for company. I am currently looking into some more new light fixtures. That is something easy to do and relatively cheap that makes a nice difference. We have done some already, so it’s time for the next batch. My mind swarms with other projects, but I’m trying to take it slow.

    Hope all of you out there are enjoying the beginning of summer!

  • Corinne, future supermodel

    I forgot to post this earlier, but Corinne was the model for an outfit LeAnn is currently selling on eBay. You can see the auction here. Corinne sure loves her “mija” dress, wearing it whenever she gets a chance!

  • Site Updates

    I have added a few items to the sidebar on the right side of the main page. The first thing you’ll see, right under the search box is the “Email Notifier”. You can enter your email address and you’ll receive an email any time we’ve updated something here at our site. That means you won’t have to always check in to see if there’s anything new — you’ll already know!

    I’ve added a section to list the entertainment we’re currently enjoying, including books (Corinne loves to read!), movies, games, music, etc. It’ll give you a little insight into what’s entertaining the Rices at the moment.

    Finally, I’ve added a links section with links to family and friends sites. Right now the list is sparse, so if you have a site, let me know so I can add it to the list. We love to keep up with everyone and the internet sure makes that easier!

    Let me know if anyone has any questions or comments!
