We ♥ Greek food! Today was Lily’s first time eating Greek and she really liked it. I am not that surprised though because there isn’t much that she won’t eat.

til Halloween! I love love love Halloween. My favorite part is dressing up but I think I like decorating for Halloween just as much as I like dressing up. Our yard is going to be so scary this year. This weekend will be our offical decorating kickoff! You would never believe how many decorations we [...]

We had our first game of the season as The Ninja Turdles today. We have an awesome line-up this season. All but one of us have played together in previous seasons. So much fun! Here is a picture of me on 3rd base after my first triple EVER! Can I get a WOOT WOOT! My [...]

After playing in two kickball games and a softball game last night I was tired. Like really tired. I am pretty sure I didn’t wake up at all until the alarm went off bright and early this morning. I was all rested up but I was not prepared for how I felt. Ouch.. my muscles [...]

We had softball playoffs today and got spanked. Final score 4-17, ouch. The Half-Nutz season is over but don’t worry there will be more softball starting soon! Since it didn’t really matter me and Cathy switched positions and I played 2nd base. The ball only came to me one time and I threw it to 1st getting the batter out. Oh and tonight [...]

We had our first two games of the new kickball season today. We won the first game but lost the second game. Go Ball Kickers!

Lily has  been asking to take a bath in the tub in the master for awhile now. As soon as I turned on the jets there were bubbles every where. I had to turn off the jets because the tub was about to overflow with bubbles! Sitting in the bathroom talking to her while she [...]

This morning when I was done folding the clean towels I took the pool towels outside to the pool house and I saw this in the water. Seriously! Thank God JP was not far away because I think I started to freak out. Sure it was dead and at the bottom of the pool….. but that means [...]

Today after I put dinner in the oven Lily and I mixed up a batch of peanut butter cookie dough. Thankfully we didn’t have any crazy accidents with the kitchen aid mixer. Then after dinner Lily, JP and I put the cookies on the sheets. Say cheese guys! We decided to make these after seeing them in a magazine earlier [...]

Lily went to her second dance class today. This week I sat in one of the chairs that I assumed was mirrored on the other side. It was hard to get this picture. Then I figured out when Lily came and posed in the window that it is not mirrored on the other side.

A couple days ago we decided we would both take the day off work for a “Mental Health Day”.  It was awesome. We slept in until like 9am! JP got up and made coffee.  Then we both surfed the internet for awhile. After we showered and got ready we went to Tequila Taco (thats my own [...]

My day went something like this. 5:30 am and my alarm goes off. It’s Mix 96.1 blasting some over-played hip hop song and I ask JP to hit the snooze button. 5:40 am and about the same only a different over-played hip hop song. 5:50 or so and yup you guessed it. Finally around 6:00 am [...]

We have this girl hanging out on our back deck. It makes me smile every time I see it.

When I woke up this morning I was excited about our first two kickball games of the season. I was also excited about softball playoffs. It seems like it does not happen very often but it rained today. Both kickball and softball were canceled.  So instead of putting on my shorts and cleats I put on [...]

I am costume crazy.  Seriously give me a costume and a reason and I am all over it. There was a time when JP didn’t live here and I would dress up in costume to pick him up from the airport. That was pre-website days but here are two of the pictures that were taken. [...]

Have you ever wondered what my favorite TV show is? A couple years ago JP asked me about my favorite show and has been teasing me ever since that the show doesn’t exist because he had never heard of it. The other day when we were in Barnes & Noble I special ordered Season 1. [...]

When I was a kid we had a really bad hair cutting experience. I guarantee if you ask my sister Vanessa right now what I am talking about she knows exactly.  She also remembers sporting the boy cut for a number of years. As as adult I am still not that fond of getting my hair cut. Some [...]

I have been thinking about  a hobby to keep Lily busy with during the school year. Last week I accidently stumbled upon a website for a dance studio near our house. I called and signed her up for a class that starts tomorrow. Of course we had to go buy the appropriate gear for her class. The [...]

Today Jennifer came to the office to show off her baby Anabella.  I love holding babies, and feeding babies, and being able to give back babies when they poop or cry!

It is that time again! Trying to save lives, one donation at a time. This is my fourth time posting on here about donating blood. I previously did it here, here and here! This is the 7th donation that I have made to them. I believe the next donation is on 12/1 and that is when I will [...]

I bought this a few weeks ago. Right when I saw it I instantly wanted to buy it. It has been leaning against a wall in the hallway ever since. Sometime soon I would like to figure out where it is suppose to go.

One of my favorite cooks is Amanda. Give her a kitchen with very few ingredients in it (kinda like ours) and she can make you something delicious in no time flat. This is what the domestic goddess in me made for dinner today. Stuffed Mushrooms and Stuffed Peppers.

Today I helped JP with the front yard work. I spent about an hour chopping down weeds with the hedge trimmer while he mowed. By the time we were done we took 3 wheelbarrows of stuff out of the yard. I even pushed the wheelbarrow once!

Our recycling gets picked up on Saturday mornings. We have a hard time actually getting it to the bottom of the curb every single week so we usually only take advantage of the service every other week. And since it is usually every other week the bin is usually completely full by the Saturday that we remember. [...]

This is our first weekend in we don’t know how long that we have no plans. Literally we have no where that we have to be, and no one that we have to hang out with. Lily is gone for the entire weekend and both softball and kickball were postponed until next weekend. It is no [...]

Today is my little sister Zerah’s birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ZERAH!

The tropical storm that we saw yesterday followed us from the gulf back home to San Antonio. It rained like crazy today. Over 2″ in less than 24 hours. The rain was blowing pretty hard some of the time too. The news said it made it up to 40 mph at some points soo it [...]

On Monday morning we woke up to grey skies but we were ok with it because it was time to pack up and head home. By the time it was time to check out this is what it looked like from the balcony in our room. The storm never made it to full hurricane force [...]

We took Lily to the mall in Corpus Christi to get her ears pierced. Lily was excited but very nervous. Once the girl dotted her ears with the market she got really nervous. Then when both girls were ready to pierce Lily started to freak out. It was pretty obvious that they had ran into [...]

After breakfast at the hotel restaurant we headed down to the pool. The pool at the resort was so much fun. It is basically 4 pools that are each connected by waterfalls. We spent way more time at the pool this weekend than at the beach. Check out this underwater picture I snapped of Lily! [...]

Today is Lily’s birthday so this morning we unanimously renamed her to Sparkley McStinky Pants. Happy Birthday!

As you can see I am all packed and ready for our trip to the beach. Only one final detail… where the #*%+€ is JP?

Today is day 1 of Lily’s birthday weekend. She got a package in the mail from JP’s parents and couldn’t wait until Sunday to open it. So… she got on the phone and convinced Marlene that it was very very important that she open the prize immediately! It came with a cute card, she was [...]

Stephanie sent me this picture from her cell phone today with a message that said “Mt Rainier is up today ”. When I lived in West Seattle anytime I would go over the West Seattle Bridge I would check for the mountain and if I could see it I would say ”Hey look, they put the mountain up [...]

This weekend the shortest person I hang out with is having her birthday weekend! One of Lily’s nicknames is “shorty” even though she is over 4 feet tall. This morning we stopped at Krispy Kreme and picked up two dozen doughnuts for her classroom. Tomorrow after work/school we are headed down to the Gulf of [...]

I hate my morning commute. If I work the schedule that I want (8:00-4:30) it takes me at least 55 minutes both ways to drive about 20 miles to work. I recently changed my schedule to go in almost an hour earlier in an effort to avoid traffic and now it takes me about 35 minutes in the morning [...]
