This is for Lamar....

....so Lamar is trying to get a free macbook air laptop through one of "those" websites. Yes, we know it's crazy, and yes we know it's possible, because I do know a few people who have actually gotten one. The thing is, he needs your help. He/I normally would not do this and I hate to ask, but if you would, please go to the website below and sign up for one of the offers. 

I know there are not that many people who read my blog and I really hate to ask, but if you want to help Lamar then go here:

Spring Is Here

Springtime is officially here and I am SOOOOO excited. I used to say that winter was one of my all time favorite seasons, it still is if there's snow to look at. But here in Tennessee, the best season is by far spring and fall.

We had a fairly uneventful weekend, but it was fun none the less. Friday night, our friends Brad and Katy came over to have dinner and hang out for a while. We had hamburgers and twice baked potatoes (thanks to hungry girl). Dinner was pretty good. We then just sat around and talked for a couple of hours. Brek loved the company and was quite fond of Brad. We will have to have them come over again.

Saturday, Lamar ended up working all day from 7 to 6:30. I was a little bored, but did get some good America's Next Top Model marathon watching in. I also took Brek on 2 walks. It was such a beautiful day, I hated to spend the entire day outside. Saturday night we went over to Ray's house to hang out and eat hamburgers again. We sat outside and just talked for a while. I will say, that being the only girl with a group of 4 guys was quite interesting. I'm glad they feel so comfortable with me and all, but "guy talk" is much different than "girl talk."

Sunday was supposed to be our lazy day since Lamar wanted to catch up on some sleep. I knew this wouldn't last long, just because Lamar is not the type to hang out indoors. So we laid around until about 12 then we both went outside and started to work. He went to work washing the cars, which by the way, mine looks fantastic and I can finally see out of my front windshield. I went to work raking and cleaning out the area on the north side of the house. We then had to go to Lowe's to get some supplies for Brek's fence and I wanted to get some flowers. I felt so domestic planting flowers. We were going to plant a garden, but the area we wanted to do it in is full of sand so we put that off for a little bit.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Blogger Help

I need a little Blogger help. How do you all upload pictures into blogger? It seems like everytime I try it always messes up my formatting.

So I'm asking, how do you all upload your pictures:

1. Do you insert them all first then do your tryping?
2. Do you insert them one by one after you've typed and then move them to the area they should be?
3. WHat formatting do you use when uploading them?

Help me please!! I just want to know what works best for everyone else, because they are a headache to me.

They're Gone!!!

Ok, ok, I know you all are still waiting on me to post Part II of Little One, and I promise I will get there. But first, let me just tell you that these two little precious children have just left the premises of the Rutland household:

They left about 30 minutes ago, and the first thing conversation Lamar and I went like this:

• Lamar: "Listen, can you hear it?"
• Me: "Hear what?"
• Lamar: "Nothing!"

Don't get me wrong, I love my niece and nephew to pieces, but all I can say is, 6 nights with two screaming children in an 800 square foot duplex, 2 bedrooms, wood floors, and a loving mother, it almost too much for me to handle. Just ask Brek, how much he liked having the company.

Hope you all have a great day! I'll be back with Part II and a follow-up of the week I've had.

The Burgman Family Grows

Before I move on to Part II of Little One, I just had to let everyone know that I am now the proud cousin to beautiful baby twins. Annaliese Rae and Lucas Cole were born last week to my cousin Cole and his wife Julie. They are just precious.

My Aunt Becky is holding Annaliese and my Uncle Ray is holding Lucas.

Congratulations Cole and Julie!!! They are absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to meet them. Also, congratulations to Grandma and Grandpa Burgman, you too look great holding your new grandchildren!

The Little One, Part I

Well as usual, I am a bad blogger! I can never seem to get in the mood to post, but there never seems to be any problem reading any of your blogs. It is my morning and afternoon ritual. As you can tell, I have some free time at work, and what better to do than read blogs.

Well Kayt has come and gone and we had a FABULOUS time. We didn't have a whole lot planned throughout the week, but I managed to keep her busy. She got to run some errands for me that needed to be done for quite some time, but this whole working 8 to 5 Monday through Friday, puts a damper on some things.

On Wednesday, after a little bribing ;) I got her to paint my kitchen. And man, does it look way better. Not that the house we live in can look a lot better, but just giving it some color really helped. And guess what, I have some pictures. I know we should all be impressed.

Kaytlyn hard at work painting.

Taking a little break to smile for the camera.

Since Lamar got me the Wii for Christmas I have bought the Wii Fit. And let me tell you, this can be quite humorous at times. Just imagine, a handsome man hula-hooping. Yes it can be hilarious to watch. Unfortunately he wouldn't let me take any pictures of him, so I got a few of Kayt and I doing some yoga.

Well this is enough for today, I need to get some work done. But stay tuned there will be a Part II. Oh and for the title, my new nickname for Kayt is "Little One." Don't ask why, its just what I chose to call her last week :)
