Kute Kids

Just a few pictures of some of the cutest kids I know! From the pics you can see that we actually got some snow here! Enough to go sledding even! Kennedy was able to turn herself into an artistic masterpiece, and Blake is getting bigger and cuter day by day. I love these kids!

Construction Zone

There is nothing cuter than seeing your 2 year old nephew following around your husband with a large power drill in hand and saying over and over, "Tis (Kris), I wanna help!" Oh how stinking cute is that!!!???!!! And because my sister is brilliant and reminded me to photograph the event, I was able to grab the camera and catch it on film! Take a look!!!

Oh my goodness! Kris is so adorable!!!

Does anyone understand my situation???!!!

Dear Tech Support,
Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend 5.0 to Husband 1.0 and noticed a distinct slow down in overall system performance – particularly in the flower and jewelry applications, which operated flawlessly under Boyfriend 5.0.

In addition, Husband 1.0 uninstalled many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5 and Personal Attention 6.5 and then installed undesirable programs such as NFL 5.0, NBA 3.0 and Golf Clubs 4.1. Conversation 8.0 no longer runs, and Housecleaning 2.6 simply crashes the system. I’ve tried running Nagging 5.3 to fix these problems, but to no avail. What can I do?
Signed,
Desperate

Dear Desperate:
First keep in mind, Boyfriend 5.0 is an Entertainment Package, while Husband 1.0 is an Operating System. Please enter the command: “I thought You Loved Me.exe” and try to download Tears 6.2 and don’t forget to install the Guilt 3.0 update. If that application works as designed, Husband 1.0 should then automatically run the applications Jewelry 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse of the above application can cause Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5, Happy Hour 7.0 or Beer 6.1. Beer 6.1 is a very bad program that will download the Snoring Loudly Beta.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install Mother-in-law 1.0 (it runs a virus in the background that will eventually seize control of all your system resources).

Also, do not attempt to reinstall the Boyfriend 5.0 program. These are unsupported applications and will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great program, but it does have limited memory and cannot learn new applications quickly. You might consider buying additional software to improve memory and performance. We recommend Food 3.0 and Hot Lingerie 7.7.

Good Luck,
Tech Support

Honeymoon Bliss

I know, I know...I need to add more pictures! The problem is, I don't have very many more! The ones below are just a few more I came up with, but overall, the photographer was about the only person to take any pictures! The rest of us were to busy trying to reign in all the children! As soon I get the rest, I'll post them!

We do however, have many pictures from the honeymoon! We had a great time on our Carnival Cruise and are looking forward to our next tropical vacation! We went to Half Moon Cay, Nassau, and Grand Turk...all three very different, but very nice! We enjoyed eating as much as we wanted and I loved the fact that my cell phone didn't ring for an entire week! It was a much needed break from work for the both of us! The highlight of the trip was meeting Scottie Pippen in the Ft.Lauderdale airport as we waited to fly home! (And by waiting, I mean waiting! We were there for 12 hours!!!!!) Okay so we didn't really meet him, but I said "Hi!" and he said "Hey! What's up?" After his reply I was too dumbfounded to respond! Oops!

We are back to the grind now and work has already been good for us both! I closed my biggest deal yet and look forward to closing many more! Kris worked two full days on a twisted ankle, despite my nagging to stay home and rest, and then he played in three basketball games on Saturday! He really is like the energizer bunny!

Hope you enjoy the pics! (Oh...the one of the scary green room...that was our hotel. Expedia.com recommended it as a great place to stay. YEAH RIGHT!)

MARRIED!!!!

Sorry for the horrible lapse in blogging! Things have been a wee bit hectic on the homefront! But alas, we are married! Yep, you heard correctly, we took the plunge!!! Oh I can't even begin to recount the marvelous details for you! Let me just say it was incredible! Beautiful! Wonderful! Everything we wanted it to be and more! Once we get moved into my TINY apartment and come back from our honeymoon (which is on next Sunday-Saturday on a Carnival Cruise) I will definitely add more details! Until then, savor a few snapshots from our big day, and for all those we came, we THANK YOU!

Female, 25, Seeking References!!!

Okay. So I am broke. Officially broke. Zero moo la. No dineros. Wow. So this is a plea to all you fine people out there!!! If you know anyone who owns a business, please contact me and let me know!!! I promise I am not a fraud or looking to make a quick buck (well I am looking to make a buck, just not in a cheap and cheesy way). Location doesn't matter. Utah! Oregon! Kentucky! Hawaii! I don't really care! Every little bit helps!

Until then, I'm going to have to move out of my house and live in a cardboard box! Much love!

Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells

This is a bit late, but I ran across these pictures and had to post them! There is one that I find HILARIOUS of Kris and my Aunt Nish. As you can see, the height difference is, well, astounding! She isn't even 5 feet tall! Kris is over 1 1/2 feet taller than poor Aunt Nish! But don't be fooled! What she lacks in height she makes up in personality! There are also a few from when the Ohio Kappes Clan came to visit (a trip to see Santa at The Citizen's Bank, opening presents, Kappes family party, etc...) My personal favorite is the one of me, Hannah, Kennedy, and Haley trying to smoosh together to get a picture! I love these girls!

Below are some more pictures! My favorite being that of Harper playing a very sad/mad Mary on Christmas Eve. This wasn't planned, but the timing couldn't have been more perfect! Also notice Brady's adorable reaction to his new construction pajamas! And my second favorite of this group...Kolby wearing his "I Love Hot Moms" t-shirt!!! This family is nuts!

Brotherly Love

I just thought these pictures were adorable and wanted to share them with the rest of you! These are my boys...or most of them! All of them unique and amazing in their very own ways! Read what the older boys shirts say...that will help you get to know them much better! lol!

Oh...and Mom made all the pajama bottoms! She rocks!

Bridezilla at her finest!

Wow. I never thought I'd be anywhere close to being a Bridezilla, but the other evening just about pushed me over the edge and forced me to become the ULTIMATE BRIDEZILLA!!!! After working for hours to compile all the addresses and type them into a document on Mom's computer, I thought I was all ready to stuff and address the envelopes. Well me and the "girls" (Kristin Kappes, Kristen Porter, Mom, Sherry Adkins) arrived at Mom's house to find that not only were there no pictures available, but her computer had also crashed, died, bit the dust, etc... In other words, all my work was LOST! All the hours of work were completely LOST!
I thought calling Kris would make it better, but he's a logical man, not an emotional woman, so his response should have been expected, "Why didn't you back up the file?" Oh my...wrong thing to say to me at that moment! He later realized his mistake and wrote me a very sweet text message, so all was forgiven!

Everything ended up working out and me and the girls laughed about it later that evening, however you can ask any one of them and they will tell you that if someone from the tv show Bridezilla had been filming me, there would have been some classic footage! I'll try to keep it under control from here on out...I just hope the dress still fits! lol!

Hope to see you all on Feb. 2nd at 2:30. And if you're far away and can't make it, know that I love you!!!!!
