Annoyed!

I don't know what is going on, but I can't find most of my pictures...Like the ones from Sophie's party!  But here are some that make me laugh:


Sophie hid under our bed and painted her finger and toe nails...  Good thing we never move our bed.

 If you're having a baby, you need one of these:
It's an infant car seat cover and my amazing bfffffff Mauri makes them.  You can pick out the colors you want it to be and she'll make it just for you!  This one was for my favorite Jenn who welcomed her second baby Delaney on the 17th.  (I told her we were kindred because we both had our second baby on the same day)
 Tommy had become OBSESSED with coloring.  He'll color on anything, this is at the RAH RAH Redlands.  One of the sweet ASB students colored with him for the longest time.
 (This was when he pooped out later that night)
 Me and Lia at the game.   (BTW, seriously the BEST game.  Redlands was expected to loose by a lot... but we won!!!  I had great pictures from the game... but they're gone too!)
 Getting tattooed and face painted.  (Kids are not allowed to have fake tattoos at her school, and when she was getting ready a couple of days later she freaked out and said "Mom!  Mom!  Mooooooooooooom, my tattoo is showing, if they see my Bulldog they'll cut off my arm!")

 Oh, and we had chocolate covered cheesecake on a stick...  yes it was amazing!

"Someone Saved My life Tonight... Sugarbear!"


(Mauri, like my song title??? I copied you)

Really though. Billy's parents came upon a killer deal on a stove and bought our family an early Christmas present. I for one am so grateful!!! I've been searching craigslist for months, but something always comes up and the money goes elsewhere... and now we have other expensive items in our house that are dying so this could not have come at a better time. The first night we had it we baked cookies and it took 12 minutes. Billy asked why it was taking so long, I had to reassure him that that is really how long it's supposed to take. With our old oven they would have taken about 4 minutes and still been black! The oven would turn on whenever it felt like it... It was not safe at all!

And tonight I made my amazing honey lime enchiladas and they came out (picture) PERFECT! Seriously I could have cried! I even watched them bake, because I have an actual oven light and there is a glass panel to see what's inside! And now we're excited to make the kitchen as pretty as our new stove!


And then there is this:
I call it the angel of mercy! It's from 1960/70's... I'm really not sure, my mom said she had one growing up. It's a floor scrubber and it can get anything out of your carpet! Absolutely anything! And your linoleum will look brand spankin' new after a quick scrub. I would be lost without this little beauty! And the good news is, you can find them for $5.00! If you see one, get it!

Oh yeah, we went to the zoo too.




Sophie's dream became a reality as she hopped in the pilot seat of a helicopter!
