Happy Bday Cousin Belle

Today is my neice /Kelson's cousin, Annabelle Claire Donald's 2nd bday!!! I can't believe she is already two years old. She is such a joy to be around and is full of energy! She's a very smart little girl and very independent. I HATE that we can't be there to join in all the fun that your having for your bday weekend in Florida(hey that sounds like something your Aunt Kelly has- bday weekend- not just one day) lol! I know you will get lots of kisses and hugs, but be sure that you get an extra one of each from us!
Love you bunches!!!
Happy Bday Belle!

My mom and dad always played the Disney version of the Happy Bday song for us, so now its a Kolumbus family tradition. We plan to keep it going!Click the link below and select the "listen to samples" button... the song is so cute.

Vroom Vroom Vroom

Well its time for the Albert family to extend their family with... A NEWER CAR. After Stacey and I wrecked my Verona Dec 06 -poor deer- haha, and we bought my sister's old Ford Explorer- thanks sis- we have decided to start LOOKING for a second vehicle. SO... the car shopping has begun. There is SO much that goes into this. So we are deciding between an '07 Hyundai Santa Fe SE(actually drove one to work today- test driving it for a few days/won't have many miles- a couple hundred) and an '07 Ford Explorer XLT (has around 8K miles on it). The Santa Fe has a better warranty and a little better gas mileage, but its really just a matter of preference now. They are going to end up costing about the same- maybe a little more for the Santa Fe. I'm trying to finance no more than 48 months, but nowadays getting a newer car and doing that is hard to do. I'm just not sure if I want TWO Ford Explorers. I WANTED a DVD and Navigation system, but that puts us over our limit. So we may just install it ourselves.

We aren't going to rush into buying anything, UNTIL we have paid off a few things ;) But the search has begun. Just wanted to see what you guys thought and if you guys had any feedback !!??

Congrats--- its in the water!!!!

Just wanted to give a shout out to some of my "prego" friends :)

Congrats Amy and Matthew Schmitz on their baby news... she is due sometime in September. They are gonna make wonderful parents and she will be a BEAUTIFUL pregnant girl. She guesses that they are having a little boy!!! This is their first baby!


Congrats to Craig and Wendy Anderson...she is due sometime in September. Their first child, Jordan, is SOOO excited and already believes it to be a girl and her name should be Cinderella. She wants a sister so bad. She is wonderful with Kelson and wanted her mommy to go to the hospital go get one for them like we did for Kelson- hehe! So adorable! She's gonna make a GREAT big sister! Their great parenting abilities will continue...



Congrats to Tommy and Michele White on their baby news... she is due sometime in April. They are going to have a little boy named Jack. This is their first baby together. Michele is finally starting to show and she is glowing! She is handling pregnancy rather well and is ready for Jack's arrival. ALREADY! haha!


CONGRATS you guys... love ya!

Heartland Update

The Heartland guys have recorded 4 new songs for the upcoming album, but currently are waiting to see what the radio promoters want to select as the next single. They want to release a monster hit so their producer, the label, and the guys are trying to find a song that will do as well as "I loved her first" when released. There are some GREAT songs on their upcoming album. Now its just a matter of deciding which one to release next. Please keep the guys in your prayers and the hopes of a continued career in the music world. Hope you will hear the new release within the month.
