SURPRISE!!!!

as for the surprise, well, that will be at the END of my blog- so you MUST read all the way to the end- because it is WAY exciting!!!

So today we went to Will's 3rd birthday party. whoa was that hectic! the kids all had a great time... it sure wore Lincoln out, and it did a number on Scott and me, too! Lincoln got a kazoo, with which he is absolutely fascinated. he played with it most of the day, and has pretty much mastered it.

Mr. Exterminator Man set out traps for our skunks today! hopefully we will be able to catch the whole fam damily of them within the week and be on our way back to our own house within a week and a half! YEAH! ...then i think i will pack up boxes. no, i'm dead serious. -like things that i really won't need until we're in a bigger home. have i mentioned that i want to move into a new house? what? oh i have? ...sorry.

um, we just got a prank call... some girl calling herself Hannah, talking about how much she was looking forward to seeing us at church tomorrow. man, prank callers sure have gotten retarted since i was younger!!!

tomorrow i get to see some of my old best friends... like from when i went to school @ Jackson and Madison. they will probably be reading this blog come Monday morning... so um, i'm looking forward to seeing you guys and i'm sure i had a great time seeing you!!! :)

ok, ok, ok... i guess i've kept you waiting long enough (plus i don't have anything else to talk about)....
MY BROTHER AND HIS WIFE ARE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!! i'm sooo freaking excited! this will be Lincoln's first cousin on my side of the family. my first niece or nephew on my side of the family. my parents' second grandchild. wow. i mean. wow. this is huge. my brother is going to make the most amazing father. he is and has always been the nicest, funniest guy i have ever met. and im sure candace is going to be a great mom, too. wow, i'm so pumped. you don't even know.

ok, so that was the whole reason for this blog post.
