• Birthday recap.

    My birthday today has been about as fantastic as I could’ve imagined it.  I’ve still got the BEST husband in the world who never ceases to suprise me because he knows I love surprises!  He’s the best gift-giver, and that’s not just my opinion.  Others say it too! Anyway, I woke up,…

  • Nate plays hookey.

    I had today all planned out and it was jam-packed with stuff I really needed to get done.  Well, that plan went into the toilet early this morning at about 5 a.m. when N8 woke up with a 102.5 degree temperature.  He had slept in our bed last night as…

  • Mama loves her boys.

    I don’t get pics like these too often. In fact, it’s a shame that I have maybe a handful of pics with myself and the boys together.  Gotta start remembering to get people to take them for me.  This one was taken this past weekend at our church’s Valentine’s Day…

  • Photo Shoot

    In an attempt to get a picture for our Chinese New Year cards this year, I ended up taking tons of pics of the boys. I tried to do everything I could to get them to smile, especially Will.  It involved putting various puppets on my head then loudly sneezing “achoo”…

  • Now that’s MY kinda eatin’!

    I fixed some barbecue ribs, baked beans and baked potatoes for dinner tonight.  Saying that Will enjoyed the potatoes and beans is an understatement. I finally have a kid that likes to eat like I like to eat.  I just know this dude is going to be down for J.…

  • As if we’re not already busy enough.

    Nathan attended a free preview class this morning for SpanishFUN, a preschool age program that teaches Spanish using fun songs, fingerplays, etc. Although he can count to ten and DEFINITELY knows what his favorite insect, a mariquita, is (thanks, Grammy!), I think the class will be good for him.  It’ll…

  • So he IS learning something!

    I was cleaning off the kitchen counters a moment ago when Nathan walked right up to me and said, “Mommy, I know what eh-stinked is.  It means dinosaurs aren’t around anymore.” To tell the truth, I wasn’t even really paying attention to him but when he began to walk off,…

  • I’ve won, yet again.

    It’s been a long time since I’ve won something.  Well today that all changed.  Yesterday while watching the news I found out that the station was giving away movie tickets randomly.  All you had to do is email them with your pick for what should win the Oscar for best picture. …

  • Not your typical Snow-dude.

    Nate and I were trying to make good use of the naptime that Will was enjoying so that we could go outside and play some.  We ended up with a skinny snow-dude and snow all over our backs and butts from the series of snowball fights that we had.  It…
