We need a nursery.
Most people think we're crazy. We've had roommates ever since we've been married. We'll still have one with a child and now about 1 month before our baby is due we decide to rip a hole in a perfectly good ceiling, tear a hole in 3 perfectly good walls and install a staircase to remodel our attic space into a master suite. Well, after I started swinging a hammer and sawzalling my house, I too felt a little crazy but with the expert assistance of my dad and his sound advice to measure twice cut once, we began dismantling our east nashville Victorian. The following pictures are proof of our lunacy.
What comes before Part B?
Part- A!
Our family all came in town recently for our baby shower. We've had about all the showering our friends can stand within the last 12 months with weddings and babys so Casey and I have promised that we won't have any more showers this year. I'm sure everyone will appreciate that! Yes my hair is pink. I'm celebrating the birth of our daughter with colour.These are the nice ladies who helped us shower...
Sniff the poo. It's all the rage at parties now. The poo below was alittle too beany.

Holy Implants Batman!
No! Those aren't Manneries! In order to let my #1 lady know that I have empathy as well as sympathy I now where this man-traption around all of the time. I've outgrown all of my clothes but now I too can relate to my wife in this area. There's never a bad time to get a new man-dress. Even if you haven't outgrown the old man-dress. Don't I look mantastic? I've covered up my private area(ola)s so you can keep showing your children my blog.
Starting in Novemberish of 2006, I got the bright idea to compete in an Ironman. I had an extensive background in swimming, ran 1 marathon in the past and I commuted on my bike to and from work the summer before but that's about it. I'm doing the rock and rollman half Iron distance in Macon, Ga. June 3rd and then the Great Floridian the full Ironman this October; incidently it's 7 days after I turn 30. So hopefully my heart won't explode.
Mark Miller and I had been doing long rides together in shelby bottoms until I hit a wet wooden bridge and flew over my handle bars smashing my shin into the crossbar. 3 weeks later when i started worrying that I had broken my leg the doctors would tell me that I had a really bad hematoma of the tibia. (Bad bone bruise)

Welcome into the World Little One
Well, it's true. No form of birth control can withstand mothernature where a Sloss is concerned.
If your parents didn't provide you a diagram on how this works, I'm providing you one now. Apparently the stork is out of date and this is the new process. Good to know now. Well, introducing the newest sloss....somewhere around March 20, 2007. We're very excited to add the newest addition to our fam. It's a new lady!
I can't ever say enough about this place. You'll see us atop Half Dome for my 29th birthday ouch! We hiked 15 miles that day and then climbed the route Snake Dike shown beloy. I think it took us about 5 hours. What a way to celebrate a birthday!
This is the Grack. It's a four star crack system on glacier point apron. It's the site of quite a large and deadly rock slide some years ago but we braved the elements along with about 2 other parties and climbed this route getting caught in a rainstorm. Casey sending slab with rain running down the crack was pretty sick.
I'm seen here celebrating my very own carhart overall's. Thanks darlin.
Austin - Road to Johnson Wedding
Our great friends Heath & Julie Johnson weren't married at the time we embarked on a 13hour one way road trip to Austin. We listened to the book on cd "The old man and the sea". Wow what a listen! Riddle books, mix cd's. It was nonstop entertainment. Mark and Drew drove, this is what Casey did usually :-)
