Baby: He has been a busy one. As you know, he got his helmet, got his glasses and now is cutting his first tooth! (Needless to say, he hasn’t been the happiest camper, but gosh darn if he just isn’t the most adorable little turd.) He is rolling over easily from his back to his…

Road Trip
We had a plan. My husband got 2 weeks off from work. We were gonna go to Southern Utah to visit the family for the weekend and then spend (at least) one night in Vegas so we could take advantage of the warm weather lounging by a fabulous pool. Our plans changed. The season premier…
Today
Today was a big day for the little guy. He got his helmet, he got his glasses and he turned 6 months old! Hard to believe. In some ways, I feel like there is no way he’s 6 months old – that went by so fast! But in other ways, I see him as much…
Daddy's Hands
When I think of my husband becoming a father, two images stand out in my mind. The first is the way he looked at Stephen when he was first born. He was so amazed by this little creature and sort of in disbelief that we created something so perfect. He took great pride in his…
We CAN Be Spontaneous!
Friday afternoon, I get a text from my husband: Him: Wanna see U2 tomorrow night in Anaheim? Me: Um, yeah!?? What time, how, why? Turns out an old co-worker of his was selling his nose-bleed seats, and we were more than happy to take them off his hands! Thank goodness I have a sister-in-law who…
Lazy Eye
Today we went to a new ophthalmologist for Stevie. I decided to find a new eye doctor when it took the last one over a week just to return a phone call. I wanted to bring him in and they had no appointments available for 3 months. She was just way too busy. And when…
Mommy Faux Pas #4
I’m about to post something that LOOKS horrifying. But it’s not. My son has legs of steel. If he is awake, they are moving. Constantly. Knowing this, I decided to sit next to him on the couch anyway with my morning fruit shake. We got a bit too close and he kicked the cup right…
Christening
Religion can be a hot topic of debate when a husband and wife come from two different backgrounds. Luckily my husband and I are of the same mold, where the religion isn’t as important as the morals our child grows up with. If you had asked me years ago if I would let me son…
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
One of the sad things about pregnancy ending is that the gorgeous hair you were sporting starts to fall out. Like, a lot. I couldn’t deal with finding hair EVERYWHERE (shower, bed, couch, baby’s fingers & mouth) so I chopped it off. Bye bye locks, I’m sure we will meet again one day. – Posted…
Star Tours 2.0
Does anyone else remember how AWESOME Star Tours was when it first opened? I remember as a kid riding it over and over and over again. I came off the ride with big excited eyes and just couldn’t wait to do it again! As the years went on, that excitement diminished quickly. It got to…
