Father's Day

Our Father's Day this year was a little hectic. On Thursday, we met Wil for lunch and picked up his presents. Little Man picked out some new fish for our tank and we continued our tradition of matching (or as close as possible) Father's Day ties for the boys.

Stressed=Desserts

The quest for the skinny pants has come to a screaching halt. My bestest husband lost his job today and I made the oreos disappear. I think it's going to be a rocky summer.

You Are Mulan!
Image hosted by Photobucket.com

Strong and spirited. You're no one's girly girl; actually you are very determined person with a strong sense of self. Never let go of that! The only thing that equals your sense of self is your family, but the traditions of society can always be bent to protect something or someone you love.


Which Disney Princess Are You?

I'm not so sure about this..."no one's girly girl"?

Did you know...

that when your 2 year old plays with the minivan remote from inside the house it will still open all of the doors?

It started out so good...

J-Bug slept until 6:30am! It was a miracle. 7 hours of sleep was amazing. Now I'm starting to wonder if he knew that I would need it. He knew what the day would be like and was hoping to give me a little bit of an edge. It didn't work.

Herbie vs. Kitty

Last week Kitty Corolla decided that she couldn't handle the heat and the A/C died. Unfortunately, Wil and I haven't been able to agree on how to handle this predicament, which has resulted in Wil driving Kitty to work in what is quickly becoming NASTY heat. This is tomorrow's forcast (pay special attention to the "feels like"):

I have taken pity on him and he's driving Herbie to work. As much as I want him to agree with me, those kind of tactics would be downright mean.

Birthday Wishes

My birthday is coming up next month. I'm not so excited about this one, so I thought I would put together a list of birthday wishes... things that would help me look forward to my birthday. Any hints that Wil or the fam want to take from this would be fine too.

1. Dinner with Wil (maybe Maggiano's, Philip's or Sweetwater) and a full night of sleep in my own bed - no kids.
2. Shopping with Zi and Mom - no kids.
3. Dinner out with the girls - no kids. (Are you noticing a theme here?)
4. A giftcard to use while shopping with Zi and Mom to pick out something fun. I like these:

5.
6. The 1 inch curling iron. 7. A cute pair of pants or skirt for church.
8. New swimmy suit
9. A Land's End tote
10. Anything at the spa or from my Amazon wish list
My Amazon.com Wish List

Yummy, without the guilt!

I had this salad when I went out to Panera Bread for lunch with my mom last week. So yummy! I highly recommend it.

The Good, The Bad, The Ugly

The good...

J-Bug is getting too big too fast. Yesterday was the 3 month mark and he's weighing in at 13 lbs. His rolls are starting to get rolls. This weekend he learned to hold onto one of his rings, ROLLED OVER and has started teething (that part could technically fall under the bad category).


We spent the day with Grandmother yesterday. Little Man was so precious with her. She's not doing well and he was very careful and aware of her all day. He climbed up on her big chair and cuddled with her. Later she showed him how the buttons moved her chair up and down. He spent a half an hour "riding" the chair with her.

The bad...
  • Kitty Corolla is asserting her independence and has decided that she has had enough. The prospect of TWO car payments: Very. Bad.
  • Grandmother is having surgery on Thursday. I think I'm more worried than I have been willing to admit.
  • TEETHING at 3 months
The Ugly...

I came across this picture from a year ago. I knew I didn't like how these pictures turned out, but I didn't realize how bad they really were. Especially compared to the more recent pics. So I'll post one more good thing:
