The other night a group from work went out to dinner for my co-worker Megan’s last day. It was a great dinner and a great way to send Megan off to her new job. The next night we took Ben to his first class at The Little Gym. He had such a blast. He is in the “Little Beast” class. They do group songs and dances, play with bubbles, and try a few skill building activities. They also have free time where Ben is allowed to run around and play on the equipment. J and I were so proud of him. He had quite a few skills and did things…

Bad Blogger
My name is Cortney and I’m a bad blogger. Yesterday and today I traveled out of town for work and the minute I got home all I wanted to do was relax. Since it’s been over a week since I posted any real content let me think back to what I’ve failed to share. Last weekend was the University of Missouri’s homecoming and the town was PACKED with fans. Friday night my friends Sarah and Rachel were in town and we decided to brave the crowds and go out to dinner with Sarah’s sister Ali and my friend Mallory. Even though the wait was an hour and a half and…

No Excuses
Wouldn’t it be great if the reason I’ve been away from blogging for so long is because I got all of my 10 Things in 10 days completed?!? Well it would be great, but it would also be a big.fat.lie. Out of the 10 things I’ve completed 1. One. Uno. That’s it. Another reason for my lack of blogging is that between work and the heat, by the time I get home, make dinner and spend time as a family, blogging is the last thing I want to do. It’s been 100 degrees here lately and miserable. Despite the heat, last weekend Ben and I went with my mom to…

Life Update
Remember Ben’s first movie I was taking him to? We saw Barnyard(well some of it) and Ben did great and lasted about an hour. The theater on the other hand, EPIC FAIL. We settled into our seats, the lights went down, Ben began to eat his popcorn and then about 10 minutes in the lights came back on and the movie stopped. Ben’s response, “uh-oh.” The manager came into the theater and informed us that they had sent a large number of people to the wrong theater so they were going to bring all those people into our theater and restart the movie. Just as everyone crammed into what empty seats there…

A Day At The Park
The weather has been cooler lately and by cooler I mean in the 80’s instead of 100, but we’ll take it. It still feels pretty hot with all the humidity, but at least I can be outside without instantly starting to sweat. We decided to take advantage of the weather and take Ben to a park that I use to go to when I was little. The park is beautiful and they recently updated the playground and put in all new equipment. There is also a huge lake that has lots of ducks and geese you can feed but there didn’t happen to be any out the day we were…
