It Only Took Four Generations...

for me to get an iphone!!! And I am so happy to finally have one. Even Elliot has one, Lee's hand me down. Not for the phone but for the apps. We turned off internet service for him and he can play all he wants, except after dinner. This Mommy doesn't allow video games after dinner. I know, I am such a meany. So far I have added the facebook app, napster app and balloon animals. I absolutely love having all of my napster playlists to listen to in the car. Although, I wish Elliot would stop asking me to play Dynamite. The contreago song. Where it is supposed to be "Saying Ay-oh, baby let's go", Elliot sings "saing ay-oh, contreago." He insists it is not baby let's go. And the balloon animals is cute but not worth the $1.99. Maybe I can figure out how to get my email onto it tomorrow.



Yes he is still in his pajamas at 1:00. He got a lazy day while I cleaned and did laundry all day.

Happy Digital Scrapbooking Day!

So today was Digital Scrapbooking Day. I had quite a few hours to focus on it, but somehow I only finished 2 pages. At times I was trying to join a digital scrap chat, watch Bones and work on scrap pages. I do have another page that was almost finished a little while ago, when I decided to completely change it and do something totally different. The chats were interesting but a bit disappointing, and THE ONE I really wanted to join happened when Lee arrived home with our Indian dinner. I knew it was at a bad time, but I still hoped I would be able to totally focus on Cathy Z and Ali Edwards. Cathy is my idol.

Tomorrow I will shop, since everything is on sale and hopefully finish a few more pages.

Happy Birthday Auntie!!!

Loads of fun at Grandma's for Aunties birthday. We enjoyed delicious steak, corn on the cob and Texas Toast. Yum, yum, yum. And finished it off with delicious cake from Beverly's Best. And they are the best!

Auntie got everything she wanted...

One of the cutest birthday cakes ever




Looking for impurities. (Luckily he didn't find any)

What Elliot gave to Auntie. She got him to tell her what the surprise was even before she opened it. I think they both hate surprises and she new exactly how to take advanttage of a sweet little 4 year old to give it away.

My baby is ONE!!!

I really can't believe it. It seems like yesterday, that i was out trick or treating with Elliot hoping that was the night my water would break. Elliot even went to Grandma and Papa's just in case. No such luck. It was another 2 days, November 2, our 8th anniversary. And now he is 21 pounds and one year old and full of personality.

2 hours old


1 day old








10 Things Tuesday
1. I still can't believe he is 1
2. My back is feeling so much better. Thank God for muscle relaxers.
3. Looking forward to a deep tissue massage, that was prescribed by my doctor.
4. I love shrimp ceviche from Patricia's. Yum, yum.
5. I want a soda fountain in my house.
6. When you take your child to the doctor because he has a cold, do you hope for an ear infection, or do you still hope for a clean bill of health even though it proves you are an over paranoid mom. Yes, the answer is obvious. Better safe than sorry, and always hoping for the healthy diagnosis.
7. Is it okay to give your child hot dogs 3 nights in one week?
8. Wondering how the passing of prop 19 would affect the people around me if it passes.
9. I don't think prop 19 is going to pass.
10. Hoping I will wake up tomorrow and find the cleaning fairy spent the night at our house. Unfortunately I am guessing it will still be the big mess I left it in.


Last but not least my favorite picture from Halloween...

What a Great Weekend

but I'm glad it's over.

Alex had a wonderful and easygoing birthday party. And we all had a great time in the dinosaur bounce house. My back and body couldn't really handle it, but my mind and heart could not resist. We were all wiped out before 7:00. The kids crashed and Lee and I were not far behind. The Petersons came over Sunday evening and we ended a fantastic weekend trick or treating. By the end of the night, the kids were begging us to go home. But they loved it!!!








Tomorrow my baby turns 1 and Lee and I celebrate 9 years of marriage!!!
