Thankfully, my mom has that motivation and got a really cool baseball mural for Judah's birthday to hang in their room. As usual, we recruited my dad to help hang it...since both my parents have lots of experience with wallpaper installation. To my surprise, it went up pretty easy with no mishaps.....and with a quick move of the furniture, their room looks great! I also framed some baseball jersey's I had made for Christmas and put them on the other wall. Judah was really surprised and excited about his new baseball room.....I mean THEIR new room :)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgOLFVK8ItWpphfZHhMFUbdFr3xtXj-BTVnzyWS3sL_oQ83XhRJluEOj4MJjD52A8SrnzaTQY-edCTFg2mGTNO4UBUJdOO2pthPM0LM-bHMe6LL04dByQEz0yCJ0K1KO4f9FGsgmHjwDnI/s1600-h/march+2010+008.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

I probably shouldn't say 'little' since he weighed 8lbs. 13 ounces at birth. I decided not to schedule him as strictly as I did with Judah.....I simply went into survival mode. Not having a schedule brings positives and negatives.... we have rocky days and nights with him and don't really know what to expect. However, I have found that he is naturally developing a schedule of his own. If he misses out on sleep during the day, he is an absolute MESS by night which means uncontrollable crying. I am very excited though, that he seems to be sleeping through the night now- which of course makes a happy mommy :) Either he is sleeping through the night, or I just don't wake up anymore (just kidding...I'm sure one of us would hear him :)<br /><br />Judah is a proud big brother. Of course he is a BIG kid now that has to do absolutely EVERYTHING on his own....pour his own cereal, turn on and off the lights, open and shut ALL the doors on his own, squeeze his own toothpaste etc. Now that I think of it, I'm not sure why he still needs us since he does everything independently. He also likes to do pretty much whatever his daddy does- he copies his every move.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBdJ6IgmNWOst1q-I2w6Uo4H-rNsYBXLdq2JuCy-UsoS7MnB94nuc5OqyOzTk5wkWuNf-I1WP6B9ByMnMQnjKj6iAVB8kc-0UXz-vX9R3h8Ue7N6AOO8idrsEsje04mKYqAMdR-JXrx4/s1600-h/Jan.+31,+2010+326.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuBdJ6IgmNWOst1q-I2w6Uo4H-rNsYBXLdq2JuCy-UsoS7MnB94nuc5OqyOzTk5wkWuNf-I1WP6B9ByMnMQnjKj6iAVB8kc-0UXz-vX9R3h8Ue7N6AOO8idrsEsje04mKYqAMdR-JXrx4/s200/Jan.+31,+2010+326.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439063875902202066" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT_pNwRIZ4485MrPY-67GBjmgtsV6so2CxCqTbQUH1VnxHpBzQWVcy-YYYFoZj_cD8-qFe7W4sMO-GUWYsaLHBUmnURrwjRJbNg5Ik42KehUNZEDD3qu8G622ugklxqjD4cKPcL7-Olr0/s1600-h/Jan.+31,+2010+329.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT_pNwRIZ4485MrPY-67GBjmgtsV6so2CxCqTbQUH1VnxHpBzQWVcy-YYYFoZj_cD8-qFe7W4sMO-GUWYsaLHBUmnURrwjRJbNg5Ik42KehUNZEDD3qu8G622ugklxqjD4cKPcL7-Olr0/s200/Jan.+31,+2010+329.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5439063869498865314" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I am very blessed to be a mother of 2 fabulous boys......yes they are loud, busy, and challenging......but I am very thankful for my family.

I have been wanting to come back to visit for a long time now, and finally got the opportunity...well more like made the opportunity. Judah can fly free until he is 2- which happens March 23rd, so we had to hurry. Thankfully my mom came with us-- I don't know if I would have survived the drive to Charlotte, the 2 hour flight, and the crazy taxi ride into the city without her.<br />The first day of spring was Friday, and we welcomed it in with SNOW?!?! Arrggg...my plans of going to the Central Park zoo had to be modified. Anyways, we sacrificed and made ourselves go SHOPPING :) We spent the day at Macy's, H&M (my favorite), and fifth avenue of course! Of course, Judah was the only one that ended up with a new wardrobe (what is up with that? )<br />Then we ended the day eating at Carmine's ( a family style italian restaurant) and going to Judah's favorite stores-- FAO Schwartz and Toys-R-Us.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivLxct3q6V5oWNxtxUCdxd3AE37rbmseLcSODh2etv4ZI7agaCb8hZDISufu6DQtzetAsPR3xM_I7WQ-IETRiEaJFX1I4ENnYVtEcO-hUba0KvvBTUsWNtFkQJBkBtG3oQ1B4TqpvAslE/s1600-h/IMG_0540.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;

He has learned how to put his own shoes on by himself- meaning he never takes them off. As soon as he wakes up he puts his boots on and doesn't take them off again until bedtime.

We had been planning for Nathaniel to have back surgery for a few months. After months of back pain, chiropractic service, and physical therapy, we broke down and went with the surgery. It was called a microlumbardistectomy (basically shaving down a herniated disk.) Everything we heard about it was simple in and out of the hospital and then he would be a little bit sore afterward. Well, just in case you are thinking about having back surgery, don't underestimate it. After 3 days in the hospital, lots of severe back spasms and pain, a 102 degree fever, and a migraine with vomitting.....I can now say we survived! Well at least until tomorrow. Thanks to all our wonderful friends and family who provided chilcare, meals, visits, phone calls, and prayers- we couldn't have done it without you!<br />WARNING: if you are someone who get queesy you may want to look away now. Nathaniel wanted me to post pics of his battle scar for proof:<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-E-rk4gYvoMazorH3p7OeYyR5dg_ZBAPGlEZVFoUK3UXWyP6iyLbjojC3wVcRFdFsgUchGo4iHBEc-Wo4_kgYZ3MafhZ2i9rvLUey9e9PZQKt7w68kxRhdmnPD1X1h39aUjIo_be_9k/s1600-h/big+boy+bed+035.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhD-E-rk4gYvoMazorH3p7OeYyR5dg_ZBAPGlEZVFoUK3UXWyP6iyLbjojC3wVcRFdFsgUchGo4iHBEc-Wo4_kgYZ3MafhZ2i9rvLUey9e9PZQKt7w68kxRhdmnPD1X1h39aUjIo_be_9k/s200/big+boy+bed+035.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290614840943954706" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhJCYlO8uQyO5mN1Pd8I4drrFEIkGXTwrPmWyrS2p1oqArD1XLK9quuS5p_GeH_CQVA-IiX8RPoNdwJXgNc-dA7cXBdPXBoWYchr6qmO_4l4u_OWrIJNQFzT3Kw31FM49BMEopJ9eWoU/s1600-h/big+boy+bed+028.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilhJCYlO8uQyO5mN1Pd8I4drrFEIkGXTwrPmWyrS2p1oqArD1XLK9quuS5p_GeH_CQVA-IiX8RPoNdwJXgNc-dA7cXBdPXBoWYchr6qmO_4l4u_OWrIJNQFzT3Kw31FM49BMEopJ9eWoU/s200/big+boy+bed+028.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290614850402639682" border="0" /></a><br /><br />One of his restrictions is no lifting for 4 weeks- so picking up Judah is out of the question. However, Judah can pretty much climb all the furniture around the house and get where he needs to get. We had to go ahead and move him into a big boy bed so when I am working Judah can take naps and go to bed at night etc. Thankfully, he got a bed for Christmas from my family.

For some reason, I am so bad at taking pictures. Well, I can physically take a good picture, but the problem is I never have my camera and if I do the batteries are always dead or something. That is why it is good that my friends like to take pictures......so shout out to Kate: THANK YOU!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv77mfrp76bq3SC01yYnByFAp4vjWsbCxtVOajmhQYnqSfnHiFgbb03fpIuee8O4GieZ4uuKRLZvcQOAjrFsYyAadbWAteer6BUJLaJHOsLNiGjotOHSeoVC1vuLoC7vER0efLNS5xdhs/s1600-h/IMG_7324.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv77mfrp76bq3SC01yYnByFAp4vjWsbCxtVOajmhQYnqSfnHiFgbb03fpIuee8O4GieZ4uuKRLZvcQOAjrFsYyAadbWAteer6BUJLaJHOsLNiGjotOHSeoVC1vuLoC7vER0efLNS5xdhs/s200/IMG_7324.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277264545399665906" border="0" /></a> Happy Boy <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVuF2g5Lv04XxJhf79gy3sTtHDIQJdngX62ShoImvlohsF9lH87IsR0xlldMjR8lUEiR4VZwWVTGgSr8e-nFb559bbUi-b73F-_mXcp7iKlPEZXVYuhuhiroalPMnncSTr_GuFJ31wpQ0/s1600-h/IMG_7329.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVuF2g5Lv04XxJhf79gy3sTtHDIQJdngX62ShoImvlohsF9lH87IsR0xlldMjR8lUEiR4VZwWVTGgSr8e-nFb559bbUi-b73F-_mXcp7iKlPEZXVYuhuhiroalPMnncSTr_GuFJ31wpQ0/s200/IMG_7329.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277265044808760898" border="0" /></a> "CHEESE"<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP0QMNudAcz3o2eq_5UTCd5tWsDCdSEKjglT2A_xvH1EYOkbp7OMW-LkMrsGsPDKDKncmGmslzIX9wTyR-bNWvlJF5SG79_Mc39ta_kmWnSA3pnQMI0ayqGT7r2F_C1_jnY8yGi_KTJAo/s1600-h/IMG_7338.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP0QMNudAcz3o2eq_5UTCd5tWsDCdSEKjglT2A_xvH1EYOkbp7OMW-LkMrsGsPDKDKncmGmslzIX9wTyR-bNWvlJF5SG79_Mc39ta_kmWnSA3pnQMI0ayqGT7r2F_C1_jnY8yGi_KTJAo/s200/IMG_7338.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277264550617941474" border="0" /></a> cute! <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifP6dVhooIeix7gs_ed3FWKO6YdhbRq_PF8JubKTnqshGWbupWRIc5e5YBzmkzwb8ha6HHazjYLaO5hnHYB-4P9tGIBpLd1pq-FGv7RJD1X9POSRAZQfCIHfxcJ65WUPLfO4nw5cFOAcQ/s1600-h/IMG_7334.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifP6dVhooIeix7gs_ed3FWKO6YdhbRq_PF8JubKTnqshGWbupWRIc5e5YBzmkzwb8ha6HHazjYLaO5hnHYB-4P9tGIBpLd1pq-FGv7RJD1X9POSRAZQfCIHfxcJ65WUPLfO4nw5cFOAcQ/s200/IMG_7334.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277264548958251682" border="0" /></a> He is proud of himself<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdA5ORpl-GdAmW4v6fM65gpBihGZzqW-_rYDbpmBT8TCUs8m4GIT6W2LCZrDrfdnr9Ynn7WogiVTs_c8QwQkpwUQgBmlX76UN5Nrbg4MwsSepqgSFS4UAWv8MOz53s8GhOlQzoc95qRpw/s1600-h/jc10.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 134px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjdA5ORpl-GdAmW4v6fM65gpBihGZzqW-_rYDbpmBT8TCUs8m4GIT6W2LCZrDrfdnr9Ynn7WogiVTs_c8QwQkpwUQgBmlX76UN5Nrbg4MwsSepqgSFS4UAWv8MOz53s8GhOlQzoc95qRpw/s200/jc10.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277265054081715026" border="0" /></a> Jack is saying "trust me...I know!)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2s4Nmloscsh1nHo7W8Bd68dxlfqxrM98WhxpMZdJJ2Qd16zSd1Fz7HRS9YQ0-RC7F-Q76WY3PDvF5GZ9mv4k372s3zRAn1JMR7anSboKh3uBdUBRudUDYwyO1WgzAmd99sbp3DOogjA/s1600-h/jc2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ2s4Nmloscsh1nHo7W8Bd68dxlfqxrM98WhxpMZdJJ2Qd16zSd1Fz7HRS9YQ0-RC7F-Q76WY3PDvF5GZ9mv4k372s3zRAn1JMR7anSboKh3uBdUBRudUDYwyO1WgzAmd99sbp3DOogjA/s200/jc2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277265051450842882" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-42864132137695447532008-11-19T17:53:00.000-08:002008-11-19T18:00:03.425-08:00FREE GIFT CARDSI recently found out that you can earn free gift cards by using a new search engine called swagbucks. You have to sign up -which requires no personal info. just name and e-mail. Then you download swagbucks into your toolbar. Every time you search on it, you earn a few bucks and when you get a certain amount you can get gift card to many places such as Target, Starbucks, Barnes-n-noble etc. If you are interested here is the link:<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://swagbucks.prodege.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=247495"><span class="yshortcuts" id="lw_1227144948_1">http://swagbucks.prodege.com/?cmd=sb-register&rb=247495</span></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-80548874900575714352008-11-02T07:10:00.000-08:002008-11-02T07:23:25.393-08:00Halloween Fun<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZYQExlg8WjlMOunm-DtRAPQI7LDQ-ljI3EPOa-xdjGm_MqSz5mKFM22psF-g6QI8OBuxwb2sxXZunVp-7DV7t_BlssUtFUFaoJk-aGNQ6clfR9MmD0d97LXbO6xTTOV7hjxFD_swkWg/s1600-h/h13.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHZYQExlg8WjlMOunm-DtRAPQI7LDQ-ljI3EPOa-xdjGm_MqSz5mKFM22psF-g6QI8OBuxwb2sxXZunVp-7DV7t_BlssUtFUFaoJk-aGNQ6clfR9MmD0d97LXbO6xTTOV7hjxFD_swkWg/s200/h13.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264078341728970786" border="0" /></a> Here is our litte dragon-boy reading his card. After multiple "practice" sessions wearing his costume, he finally felt comfortable in it! At first he wasn't sure about the hood, but he ended up keeping it on most of the night. He got to go out trick-or-treating with Aunt Maggi (renaissance woman), popop (a skunk), my parents (as themselves), and Nathaniel. However, every time someone opened the door Judah would scream and cry.....hmmmm a little dramatic, huh!<br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"> </span> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigg-5XpBuypMWQThARuPa65mW7jtLVe6rveThmmUNN4jyFl8PjR85TvJaF4cYFwWwy5XcIooHhkKMCYzdXmWe2e3erXHPydTYgP2T_wTR8YwZp3fz6YtUNyh0f605nKSto881AB1ARW5I/s1600-h/h4.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigg-5XpBuypMWQThARuPa65mW7jtLVe6rveThmmUNN4jyFl8PjR85TvJaF4cYFwWwy5XcIooHhkKMCYzdXmWe2e3erXHPydTYgP2T_wTR8YwZp3fz6YtUNyh0f605nKSto881AB1ARW5I/s200/h4.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264078339479186258" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqBMGBt7lzobii-dvGFYMbOReGL0LB6Mg1QHOW-A78aHJAh5JK6FU6G7tGUS1u81-wXTzgUeibirPbOLs6alCJMWK6EBjUuwKpED_C4Cj1CS7QDSXsOonRExLvqS5d65nBjTW9tvV66U/s1600-h/h11.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjmqBMGBt7lzobii-dvGFYMbOReGL0LB6Mg1QHOW-A78aHJAh5JK6FU6G7tGUS1u81-wXTzgUeibirPbOLs6alCJMWK6EBjUuwKpED_C4Cj1CS7QDSXsOonRExLvqS5d65nBjTW9tvV66U/s200/h11.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264080044259056690" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEREVDzADXhaww73Q_BVl0jLbn-uph4XVIUDPM-ZvsMMJW-oApZOXEgJtgMiJOafwWB7Gv0KRg8FRvAmsa5nts-KjvPKXsCysFacZB87Rs5HlEwOFYYUubysg7xAre1CnabQg3ESWuD2Y/s1600-h/h10.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEREVDzADXhaww73Q_BVl0jLbn-uph4XVIUDPM-ZvsMMJW-oApZOXEgJtgMiJOafwWB7Gv0KRg8FRvAmsa5nts-KjvPKXsCysFacZB87Rs5HlEwOFYYUubysg7xAre1CnabQg3ESWuD2Y/s200/h10.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264080043022755378" border="0" /></a><br /><br />After work I met up with them and we went to a kid Halloween Party.

This time we intervened before it grew into a full mullet. Since last time I gave a hair cut to Nathaniel he ended up having to shave his head, we both decided it would be best to pay someone to cut Judah's hair. So we took him to good ol' Stan over in Oteen. Stan has been cutting hair for 50 years or close to that, and only charges $8 (well actually free for your very first haircut.) Don't be fooled by the smiley pictures here, Judah cried the entire time he getting his hair cut. The lollipop definiely helped me get the best pictures afterwards though! <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1p5RYcvxjzWNSkVDt4YVCezF2EumwnUXNysexblzqaBYEVBeOecfAQGVfWkABlTL2vqP1r3ZDvqBUViKlXFNKFIUxWdul9DjioYcq74FMR8xowL71hJoCRPf99jZL71kk5DmjWwIWMQ/s1600-h/haircut2.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE1p5RYcvxjzWNSkVDt4YVCezF2EumwnUXNysexblzqaBYEVBeOecfAQGVfWkABlTL2vqP1r3ZDvqBUViKlXFNKFIUxWdul9DjioYcq74FMR8xowL71hJoCRPf99jZL71kk5DmjWwIWMQ/s200/haircut2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257187096287616050" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwS31EevzdmF4jaiiXIETrni_TAdWBnElZEgtOdFfrnb0fgxDthxkqM7CBbzeCfhNih-lV09kJ881UOSumT4dKeTxlCFpmxJMigjjga8cazKdP6qdYrPr2TovGi6kUGoHSlz4Tr4VsGKg/s1600-h/haircut.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgwS31EevzdmF4jaiiXIETrni_TAdWBnElZEgtOdFfrnb0fgxDthxkqM7CBbzeCfhNih-lV09kJ881UOSumT4dKeTxlCFpmxJMigjjga8cazKdP6qdYrPr2TovGi6kUGoHSlz4Tr4VsGKg/s200/haircut.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257187098087008770" border="0" /></a> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxNgvv36QjD8kLhzem8BXmQMPk7hEeIG616fVXy27vNcbsRACnynHThdFMtp2fJyGd2U6LmMNiQhPNMtgykhKGBSMwkgdvewIyuC25xZ8LIrz7ScBXgQY3TV3eWAVDWDvg_e-h1ZaYR4/s1600-h/haircut3.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghxNgvv36QjD8kLhzem8BXmQMPk7hEeIG616fVXy27vNcbsRACnynHThdFMtp2fJyGd2U6LmMNiQhPNMtgykhKGBSMwkgdvewIyuC25xZ8LIrz7ScBXgQY3TV3eWAVDWDvg_e-h1ZaYR4/s200/haircut3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5257187099090577954" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"></span></span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-81968913786502560092008-10-07T18:55:00.000-07:002008-10-07T19:20:32.386-07:00Well, I am happy to say that I survived the remodeling of my kitchen this week. We finally tackled my kitchen and gave it a total makeover. There is now new paint, updated cabinets, tilework, and soon to be new floors! I always love watching people flip houses, but now I know I only like to WATCH other people do that from the comfort of my couch. It is a whole different story when I am doing the work. Of course I had lots of help from my family, without them I would have never gotten it done! THANK YOU mom, dad, and Danny!! Nathaniel even painted a little.....when I put a paintbrush in his hand and gave him no option (he really did help!) I can't really say that Judah helped too much, but he did do very well entertaining himself. I will post some pictures as soon as I get my camera working!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-64606945628401686262008-09-03T18:57:00.001-07:002008-09-03T19:15:38.429-07:00Back in the game!That would be the CVS game of course. Even though I spent a little more than I like to this week at CVS it put me in a good position for next week. Before I tell you what I bought, I wanted to tell anyone that is joining in the CVS game some good news. Today I went to the new CVS in River Ridge and not only is it an amazing store....they have one of those coupon scanners I have been hearing about. Let me explain....all you do is scan your CVS card and it immediately prints out coupons! It is random coupons, and may not be helpful on that visit....but you may strike it at the right time and get some good ones! I was too embarrased to ask the cashier exactly how many times you could scan your card though, I didn't want to look like one of those obsessed moms :) Secretly though, I wanted her to get distracted so I could swipe my card over and over and just have tons of coupons pouring out.<br />Anyways, this is what I got:<br /><br />Transaction 1:<br />Wetslicks Lip gloss $5.99 with 5.99 ECBs<br />3 Sauve products $2/each , I used a B1/G1 free coupon from sunday paper ; got 2 ECB<br />Total Out of pocket: $10.80<br />Total ECB: 7.99<br /><br />Transaction 2:<br />Accucheck glucose monitor : 9.99 with 9.99 ECBs<br />Total due: 10.??<br />I paid with my 7.99 ECB from previous transaction and then owed 2.14 out of pocket.<br /><br />So all together I spent $12.94 out of pocket and have 9.99 ECBs for next week. Usually a glucose monitor cost around $70- so I thought this was worth it for me, since I could use a back up monitor. I considered not using the ECBs just earned to purchase my second transaction, and then I would have 18 ECBs for next week, but I couldn't bring myself to spend more money ( I know ...I am cheap, what can I say.)<br />If you are just starting don't get discouraged, it takes a while to build up ECBs (like you can see in my example.) I started with none, so I had to spend more out of pocket...next week though I have some ECBs going into it- which is always more fun!<br /><br />Good Luck!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-22985985140643694962008-08-27T16:58:00.000-07:002008-08-27T17:52:37.736-07:00Recent pictures<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxEJ-YJGuXxGp0kln_T3y06SQuLxLkBSQSA7F74Ll1M_9k08NJxIHbdck2lbz1dDRklKyx7YhrNB52LC3Pbcpo0uI2QL1TtKsc1-ltu6OcC6EbpMp-3Rfg-kiMlu153HZk6h1Wrc5QzjY/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+029.JPG"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPy6ReU3pCHWz5PpD0A0QCYMp2q3dcbeN9IOXc-3x17UFElF099uZXPcTP4yZteM7KSsLHuw0yfTrOrLSVi2AeVKIJ1a7JwKw8o6C-N3jjKzw7M4ABEqJpz-0rA5UjaARiZR2EPeLcSxU/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+075.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPy6ReU3pCHWz5PpD0A0QCYMp2q3dcbeN9IOXc-3x17UFElF099uZXPcTP4yZteM7KSsLHuw0yfTrOrLSVi2AeVKIJ1a7JwKw8o6C-N3jjKzw7M4ABEqJpz-0rA5UjaARiZR2EPeLcSxU/s200/mom+and+judah+075.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239360283907719970" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NN7_ukHMWvTyPtkmPhollnS1mLv-8l6yUbQHPFiPcdZxqCJWch4YTQnnmU1b1rNj79j45_7nZ0CewwqbT1-39awtm9y3FqUDrP1d2Lqb7ga2mqGxmUMqbYXHbTRHrmvmDahq2HFR71o/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+051.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NN7_ukHMWvTyPtkmPhollnS1mLv-8l6yUbQHPFiPcdZxqCJWch4YTQnnmU1b1rNj79j45_7nZ0CewwqbT1-39awtm9y3FqUDrP1d2Lqb7ga2mqGxmUMqbYXHbTRHrmvmDahq2HFR71o/s200/mom+and+judah+051.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239355622359382690" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-NN7_ukHMWvTyPtkmPhollnS1mLv-8l6yUbQHPFiPcdZxqCJWch4YTQnnmU1b1rNj79j45_7nZ0CewwqbT1-39awtm9y3FqUDrP1d2Lqb7ga2mqGxmUMqbYXHbTRHrmvmDahq2HFR71o/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+051.JPG"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6t0GQmuVqKBmyTWmPkWjrolKUCtYEMLG5tpY8CGPIz3tBumOcSLMBBzipOjgUeMKg6QvcngI_xjiDNwa9gJQpGjxltd72KAOBMD-sJbdYENKcysNcVBUz6CThPL-Z8jmZlGUOLdWa3_g/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+084.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6t0GQmuVqKBmyTWmPkWjrolKUCtYEMLG5tpY8CGPIz3tBumOcSLMBBzipOjgUeMKg6QvcngI_xjiDNwa9gJQpGjxltd72KAOBMD-sJbdYENKcysNcVBUz6CThPL-Z8jmZlGUOLdWa3_g/s200/mom+and+judah+084.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239361224694375666" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVzVO-94dUjQRmC_7zc9AxBpVPN3TZFziIU95XVtyuj99NNw0IvStFGysvf42OtUwp8exzG12XTysJ6siCkF32Dpzw8_xCF2nYk8z_uineyzN11yT9wzoRjK1RvR771MXjjeu2RLo2JBQ/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+029.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVzVO-94dUjQRmC_7zc9AxBpVPN3TZFziIU95XVtyuj99NNw0IvStFGysvf42OtUwp8exzG12XTysJ6siCkF32Dpzw8_xCF2nYk8z_uineyzN11yT9wzoRjK1RvR771MXjjeu2RLo2JBQ/s200/mom+and+judah+029.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239361223128544322" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6t0GQmuVqKBmyTWmPkWjrolKUCtYEMLG5tpY8CGPIz3tBumOcSLMBBzipOjgUeMKg6QvcngI_xjiDNwa9gJQpGjxltd72KAOBMD-sJbdYENKcysNcVBUz6CThPL-Z8jmZlGUOLdWa3_g/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+084.JPG"> </a><br /><br />Finally Rain!!<br />We spent some time outside tonight enjoying the aftermath of the rain storm we had.

Judah enjoyed the beach much more this year than last; and in return we did as well. It was a fun week filled with relaxation, shopping, fishing, swimming, eating out, and a trip to the aquarium. Kirby has most of the pictures on her camera, so when I get those I will post more pics. Here are a few from my camera:<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGlQDf1oRQ9is7SrFujvlOSjuJFhpExoc_Wjwz2CGdlo6kwyJbzdopnQIYS5J9NBElGKkvYhmhUWbDkwj7I_KsQdd7HMlpTlkYtibdma4cAe3aTI0aGFGlTmbCZ4k714cqUfZFonVp30/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+063.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGlQDf1oRQ9is7SrFujvlOSjuJFhpExoc_Wjwz2CGdlo6kwyJbzdopnQIYS5J9NBElGKkvYhmhUWbDkwj7I_KsQdd7HMlpTlkYtibdma4cAe3aTI0aGFGlTmbCZ4k714cqUfZFonVp30/s200/mom+and+judah+063.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239354211509131858" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6dvxFmqZHegI9J7FxoeWGIszBQm_XVNZOULVEu459NGwekzguOy7uFys_8fe3arf8-dSr8QX11Xx2u478cWjSD8bN8je26-xp_pKEJ9PrlaD4FUjOrjr_nlXudxWZN3VdCMEyDKllOY/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+021.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjl6dvxFmqZHegI9J7FxoeWGIszBQm_XVNZOULVEu459NGwekzguOy7uFys_8fe3arf8-dSr8QX11Xx2u478cWjSD8bN8je26-xp_pKEJ9PrlaD4FUjOrjr_nlXudxWZN3VdCMEyDKllOY/s200/mom+and+judah+021.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239352451739663874" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhIGlQDf1oRQ9is7SrFujvlOSjuJFhpExoc_Wjwz2CGdlo6kwyJbzdopnQIYS5J9NBElGKkvYhmhUWbDkwj7I_KsQdd7HMlpTlkYtibdma4cAe3aTI0aGFGlTmbCZ4k714cqUfZFonVp30/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+063.JPG"> </a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6bpWXbnTW62AhiVVN23G4xlvlYYcnHv-_igQVyWb8WQ0GD7EycLi18kQ-X3UcZ5CAIYyi3I5hfAmrLc55IY7hKXMbo9b_lLgm_JRQDnXhfsSTlF8Bk_i5XLZ2XcTzpoucUp7nrAO3x0/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+062.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhE6bpWXbnTW62AhiVVN23G4xlvlYYcnHv-_igQVyWb8WQ0GD7EycLi18kQ-X3UcZ5CAIYyi3I5hfAmrLc55IY7hKXMbo9b_lLgm_JRQDnXhfsSTlF8Bk_i5XLZ2XcTzpoucUp7nrAO3x0/s200/mom+and+judah+062.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239364190283274930" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxR_Dta2k2fPr3FZjxkgikXMeKP2yMTsD9-en_kZrATJGXE4cg1Ef0axxPBNLW-tidiPpEDQS1AbuhrRx4U9huWaYr0zfwuZ6XqIKJPFvaAtr3hLqYqss_RKDuxpVU1n286uA5cO7mm1Y/s1600-h/mom+and+judah+018.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxR_Dta2k2fPr3FZjxkgikXMeKP2yMTsD9-en_kZrATJGXE4cg1Ef0axxPBNLW-tidiPpEDQS1AbuhrRx4U9huWaYr0zfwuZ6XqIKJPFvaAtr3hLqYqss_RKDuxpVU1n286uA5cO7mm1Y/s200/mom+and+judah+018.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239364695676216418" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-64196837696980919162008-08-26T18:19:00.000-07:002008-08-26T18:35:50.644-07:00okay okay okay......I wanted to see just how long it would take to drive people crazy with a picture of toilet paper! Not really, I just wanted everyone to appreciate the cool people pictures from now on when I do have them. Actually, I have wanted to update the blog for some time now, but just keep forgetting to buy batteries for my camera....how frustrating! So I am sorry to say,but I have no new pictures this time.<br />However, I can give you a quick update on Ruland Life. Nathaniel has started seminary in Charlotte- he drives down on Monday and returns Tuesday. Judah and I survived the night without him; not without injuries of course. In the course of the day Judah fell and got a bloody nose and had another fall later on our brick fireplace and scraped his head and got a huge knot. If you have seen his head it is no surprise he has issues with balance- poor boy his head probably is responsible for half of his weight (of course my family is to blame for head circumference.) After keeping his up late to watch for nausea, change in level of consciousness, or any other symptoms of head injuries I called my mom and got a second opinion that I was way to paranoid and just put him to bed. It is funny what I can talk myself into worrying about when it is late at night and I am alone making decisions. So needless to say we made it through the night alive, and Judah still knew who I was in the morning. ....but we are glad to have Nathaniel home- that is for sure!<br />Judah is changing everyday and is becoming more funny everyday. He keeps me laughing, which is a good thing! There are several times a day when I think, man I should be taking a picture of this, or a video or something for the blog. Of course, it just hit me as I am writing that my day may revolve around what would look good on the blog.....hmmmmm...I wonder what that means. No really, obviously I haven't spent too much time actually updating my blog, but I appreciate other blogs that inspire me! Anyways, enough rambling until next time.....and I will try to have some pictures then!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-28152910310839612312008-07-02T19:00:00.000-07:002008-07-02T19:21:22.045-07:00THANK YOU CVS!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rDPXfTrAHstbMRDGimqJFFM4qio05k89OtrJ1aVjDQiw-u9pmzOTjkB-z4-t2IVxohGP9XwjYWoDQeqNx94kNNvxUTVvURu1alsYKJpqquXN3l1IQ_PeYUVnveyhCbrX5gDokwqrfwA/s1600-h/cvs+picture.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5218604910377689330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 419px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 238px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" height="216" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0rDPXfTrAHstbMRDGimqJFFM4qio05k89OtrJ1aVjDQiw-u9pmzOTjkB-z4-t2IVxohGP9XwjYWoDQeqNx94kNNvxUTVvURu1alsYKJpqquXN3l1IQ_PeYUVnveyhCbrX5gDokwqrfwA/s200/cvs+picture.jpg" width="320" border="0" /></a><br /><div align="center"><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">ALL THIS FOR $$$$</span><span style="font-size:180%;"> 2.00</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong></strong><br />If you are wondering how this is possible, check out <a href="http://www.moneysavingmom.com/">www.moneysavingmom.com</a>.

However, the pool has not been used in years. Ever since we moved in over a year ago, all I can imagine is either Judah or one of his friends falling in. My fears were eased this past week when we had the pool filled in with dirt. "Cubby" (Kirby) arranged all the work to be done- which was a huge gift!! The process was actually quite interesting to watch with lots of machines and huge trucks. Thankfully, cubby caught everything on film- since I hardly ever remember to take pictures-oops! </div><div align="center"> </div><div align="left"><em>The Before picture:</em></div><div

He regained his composure and I believe may have enjoyed the 'spa' treatment....or at least having mom and dad's attention all at once.<br /><br />I swore as a mom I would never keep my son a baby forever.....I just never knew it would mean letting go of that so soon!<br />Judah will thank his dad one day I'm sure, since if it was totally up to me he would have a 'bowl' haircut until he was 18. Now that I have had time to get used to it, he really does look older...but still so darn cute! <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-KfOnUOSFONjjiHT6b6zwTgRnx9IBWkmbiFo39feVlIFdoKcdouc8Ba69n1ckCxTwUCbP1fmb5_kRmYhaqoIiWeqADp5qupbVE0W140Y6KZA9tdnxCGLJaFPPlJklLCao7cXU8CJTwQ/s1600-h/March+2008+104.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190667920713393218" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhR-KfOnUOSFONjjiHT6b6zwTgRnx9IBWkmbiFo39feVlIFdoKcdouc8Ba69n1ckCxTwUCbP1fmb5_kRmYhaqoIiWeqADp5qupbVE0W140Y6KZA9tdnxCGLJaFPPlJklLCao7cXU8CJTwQ/s200/March+2008+104.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxhL5adesHiXeZF5QMcTrJFBPSXOGa0SND8MIsf4W0QtgRaw3hS224fH7kzWZeUQ7nJksM1cUxOB7RdyVWAxqTkjKe8Yw3snHHr1Zexc2wMFM14GTDv71Ybqxbx0ExBIuq1Wqa0dW1JW8/s1600-h/March+2008+114.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5190670270060504178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxhL5adesHiXeZF5QMcTrJFBPSXOGa0SND8MIsf4W0QtgRaw3hS224fH7kzWZeUQ7nJksM1cUxOB7RdyVWAxqTkjKe8Yw3snHHr1Zexc2wMFM14GTDv71Ybqxbx0ExBIuq1Wqa0dW1JW8/s200/March+2008+114.JPG" border="0" /></a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-50994376817386455172008-04-09T11:27:00.000-07:002008-04-10T07:52:32.172-07:00<div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;color:#ffffcc;">HAPPY BIRTHDAY JUDAH!</span></strong><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7QYOxvXwFZCc-FXHu47ngwkg-PHINgLmA_dkGJEgk28Fu2d50lKqpnN1UxrhUPOG5ovy_Pojlrxo2vNcG2LNqHGHbd9gqDxdzYCmT7XbxSq8HFuIQL4AaEPtlay1vT0ogCpGjf_ohu4/s1600-h/March+2008+029.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187619982510436674" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis7QYOxvXwFZCc-FXHu47ngwkg-PHINgLmA_dkGJEgk28Fu2d50lKqpnN1UxrhUPOG5ovy_Pojlrxo2vNcG2LNqHGHbd9gqDxdzYCmT7XbxSq8HFuIQL4AaEPtlay1vT0ogCpGjf_ohu4/s200/March+2008+029.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5jRZLQ15qTqKNrxBdpgXKRm08UHuWJe7gZ4l6KizKZx545Z8tA4Ef-Nxifz07RbxVAu7H05UKVvvoTGiucscRh20auygxZVUvGzNsz7UntuEAHwkzp2LZWuN971HaFMm_wennia3fcRs/s1600-h/March+2008+030.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187619759172137266" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5jRZLQ15qTqKNrxBdpgXKRm08UHuWJe7gZ4l6KizKZx545Z8tA4Ef-Nxifz07RbxVAu7H05UKVvvoTGiucscRh20auygxZVUvGzNsz7UntuEAHwkzp2LZWuN971HaFMm_wennia3fcRs/s200/March+2008+030.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVPvj0EY3E6bMZfriKE1wt_QlNWMlw2L8Y4BEWVSLvi-PwXIOwwKVgDH54es6YGoVlaBxZ3kfrVfei5KIQox3eRDQRY5ViNgu0seU7G5T1taDjXartWy-eczfJm2n0MAysenROU7ME0M/s1600-h/March+2008+036.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5187620463546773858" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVPvj0EY3E6bMZfriKE1wt_QlNWMlw2L8Y4BEWVSLvi-PwXIOwwKVgDH54es6YGoVlaBxZ3kfrVfei5KIQox3eRDQRY5ViNgu0seU7G5T1taDjXartWy-eczfJm2n0MAysenROU7ME0M/s200/March+2008+036.JPG" border="0" /></a></div><div></div><br /><div>I'm a little late at posting Judah's birthday party, but better late than never I guess.

Judah also enjoys visits from Alex (Kirby's Great Dane) on Tuesday's.

Tobey is the cutest little dog, and apparently has a high tolerance for pain. Tobey and Judah played like best friends! We are working on "gentleness" with Judah, but he can still be pretty rough. Tobey did not mind though, he was quite a trooper and let Judah do practically whatever he wanted to. So, all this to say, as much as I have fought against it......I think we are destined to have a dog one day.</span> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZJsjyPn9m34j4FEPSk1RHtBjq-2ZWmgqfgSDLYHJ84iyMLMWP9a1IdcwLbTM9qUNRhBRrG7oMnZsDqYlA6sPOYyl7ddl-HGKJT2vcNDt8BMnh5JpF53dEI6NS1au87b5HeuhL4J-e714/s1600-h/Judah+and+Tobey+019.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5175535731019743746" style="CURSOR: hand" height="154" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZJsjyPn9m34j4FEPSk1RHtBjq-2ZWmgqfgSDLYHJ84iyMLMWP9a1IdcwLbTM9qUNRhBRrG7oMnZsDqYlA6sPOYyl7ddl-HGKJT2vcNDt8BMnh5JpF53dEI6NS1au87b5HeuhL4J-e714/s200/Judah+and+Tobey+019.jpg" width="201" border="0" /></a></span></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-79221650453275899532008-01-25T10:36:00.000-08:002008-01-25T10:47:36.211-08:00Can you keep up?I hate those days when it is only 1:00 in the afternoon and all I can think about is.....when can I go to bed? Unfortunately those days are coming more often than not. I think part of that reason is Judah is now very mobile....he is crawing and cruising around everywhere. One of his favorite past times is driving his 'bike' that aunt Maggi and uncle Danny gave to him for Christmas. He drives it right over to the flower pots and has a grand old time throwing the dirt out of the pots. Well, I'm afraid he will be sadly suprised next time he goes for it since I finally moved the pots into the next room. Nathaniel and I are both excited that he finally started crawling, but now we are the typical parents saying.....what were we thinking??<br />If you would like to see him in action, check out this video.....<br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dw_AOohVbJYNGBzvLPJCJq9KELMXZ-TJXfDyOfGFGjmmmQmKSVWK2fGApaxwlbzOIK1zAzUwxkB9Ck541qXIg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-70798869622919708672008-01-17T16:58:00.000-08:002008-01-17T14:42:34.785-08:00<span style="font-size:130%;color:#00cccc;">LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW...LET IT SNOW...</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#3366ff;"></span><br /><br />I am always so thankful for snow days! It seems that no matter what you had planned for the day, when it snows it gives you liberty to do nothing. Better than that- no one questions why you didn't show up, or why you didn't get this done....it is a simple answer of "it snowed." That is exactly why I have time to write this blog while sitting all cozy in front of a nice, warm fire!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92rtEAbQ3Xud_UdSSbZAzgrX2dmgBypCWXOynjwvCbu0gZrCaxDXZQ_EjuOSt4eqdqFKCyz-n7ipvlKI4FzcwWw0rvaEDTXIUejXdUEQI7mqhzoEzOXeg9w3KOktBWlqyMQAQdDoXejo/s1600-h/snow+003.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156572633046207842" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh92rtEAbQ3Xud_UdSSbZAzgrX2dmgBypCWXOynjwvCbu0gZrCaxDXZQ_EjuOSt4eqdqFKCyz-n7ipvlKI4FzcwWw0rvaEDTXIUejXdUEQI7mqhzoEzOXeg9w3KOktBWlqyMQAQdDoXejo/s200/snow+003.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgm3iuBFZ7-0njP6AR-qT3nfVfvfV0gDc0kDl2RIsHQT2G1tIn-9POENJug1_kMNUQro77yGW9IKIAEXZya3ASuTcsnQ5W8iYjX-AU1W6LXakZoyTiys0PwQydlHJ_PZf3blZquH0vIj4/s1600-h/snow+005.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156575184256781714" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgm3iuBFZ7-0njP6AR-qT3nfVfvfV0gDc0kDl2RIsHQT2G1tIn-9POENJug1_kMNUQro77yGW9IKIAEXZya3ASuTcsnQ5W8iYjX-AU1W6LXakZoyTiys0PwQydlHJ_PZf3blZquH0vIj4/s200/snow+005.JPG" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhav22qv4xVk1_mNhyxlfUsmMSO-D5NrVvC4wPsDDXzJBwka9u2jxrFif_m52oGZX8C_ndaif9mJUzWsk8xDtdrQkRWWqiTx-M-LEonlAqBYf5PedSMMlsIVEaXz0qlzERfpcZc3YlLOOo/s1600-h/snow+014.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156577018207817138" style="WIDTH: 173px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" height="150" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhav22qv4xVk1_mNhyxlfUsmMSO-D5NrVvC4wPsDDXzJBwka9u2jxrFif_m52oGZX8C_ndaif9mJUzWsk8xDtdrQkRWWqiTx-M-LEonlAqBYf5PedSMMlsIVEaXz0qlzERfpcZc3YlLOOo/s200/snow+014.JPG" width="179" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6KxkNvQarLD_VFK2dxz9X-U1ZysbkpR9lsFEFJPPaPbZ_-XB163UqC3IV1hNGvpY6OoBu8mIMje4ww3miMiIFvJblD9_083TUyui1zQwOuYDUwpbI3yNVUdoHZUImAQqTUdukwi0Np-w/s1600-h/snow+013.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156576099084815778" style="WIDTH: 174px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" height="150" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh6KxkNvQarLD_VFK2dxz9X-U1ZysbkpR9lsFEFJPPaPbZ_-XB163UqC3IV1hNGvpY6OoBu8mIMje4ww3miMiIFvJblD9_083TUyui1zQwOuYDUwpbI3yNVUdoHZUImAQqTUdukwi0Np-w/s200/snow+013.JPG" width="181" border="0" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtZQi5u72k7RPZx01OL4WDBYWjUR_UofLYamVLeYDRNOgohuDAra3F2oT8nBMIZsoEo3WakzMUcePgUBRnirZbysDoX4eS_8pUZfvjZcaa3VTHd9evdA51c-s1gEU4HqGEqfjPleerwl4/s1600-h/snow+022.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5156578134899314114" style="CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtZQi5u72k7RPZx01OL4WDBYWjUR_UofLYamVLeYDRNOgohuDAra3F2oT8nBMIZsoEo3WakzMUcePgUBRnirZbysDoX4eS_8pUZfvjZcaa3VTHd9evdA51c-s1gEU4HqGEqfjPleerwl4/s200/snow+022.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />Nathaniel and I decided to take Judah outside in the last "snow storm" (well we really only had about 1/2 inch). Anyways, you know we did the 20 minute bundle up inside just to spend maybe 5 minutes outside. At least we have some pictures to show him in a few years and say, look we took you outside to play in the snow when you were just a young'in. He doesn't need to know that he really didn't even hardly touch the snow...that's beside the point. This snow storm, Judah did not even make it outside, but I don't think any of us are sad about that!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1387507070070965097.post-80518323633577529862008-01-02T09:56:00.000-08:002008-01-02T10:01:59.679-08:00HAPPY NEW YEAR!We have had a blast over the last few weeks. It has been a whirlwind of events.....from our Christmas party....to Christmas....to my birthday.....then finally New Year's! Judah seemed to enjoy his first Christmas, although he seemed to enjoy the tissue paper and bows more than the actual gifts! I have also really enjoyed hanging out with Tara for the past 3 weeks, and am sad that she has to go back to NYC on Friday :( Anyways, I am still trying to gather the best pictures to post...so they will be coming soon!

I feel very behind on my news. Our latest event was our reformation party.....guess who's idea that was?!? Our costumes were a little random to say the least, but it was all fun. We had all the best activities, including bobbing for apples and pin the heart on the heretic. Of course, our little 'hot dog' was a hit ( I saw the hot dog costume at old navy and couldn't resist, of course Judah will probably hate those pictures in a few years!)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:Trebuchet MS;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;">Not much else is going on, just gearing up for the holidays. Nathaniel has already gathered and chopped a huge amount of wood for our fireplace this winter. We have already had 2 fires and they are so cozy! I love the winter, and can't wait for it to get cold and snow! Well, I think that is it for this update, but I will try to write more often from now on! </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
