Well Babies


To share some of the cute pictures we have taken of the kids over the past few months I will be periodically putting some photo montages up here on the blog. In the first installment come along as we have our well baby check up.


Lorelai gives Dr. Vargas a big hug when she comes into the room (she obviously doesn't know about the shots the doctor has planned).


Daddy and his little boy after the weighing in.


Kellen tries to catch a glimpse of the ponies at Santa Anita.


Lorelai spies a pony she might like for her birthday.

You will not give me a shot! Not a step further! Ok, that's it you asked for it...the squint!
*This is Lorelai's new look that she sometimes uses when she is displeased. Needless to say it puts fear into her parent's hearts. Adolescence may be brutal.

Go on now, you've seen enough!

A Time for Peace

It is finally time to end the war on Santa, but that Easter bunny better watch himself! It has indeed been a long time since I have posted, but before I can get to the good stuff like cute pictures of the kids I have to answer to the fact that I've been tagged.

So here goes...

Four Jobs I've had OR Why you should stay in school:

1. Newspaper delivery (my first job...didn't last too long who wants to deliver papers in the rainy Pacific Northwest?)
2. McDonalds (Would you like to shorten your lifespan? Ask me how!)
3. Nanny
4. Gamestore clerk (The job that forever changed my life!)


Four Movies I can watch over and over again

This was super hard to narrow down to just four. I love movies! To watch it over and over it generally needs to be light and have a happy ending. I like more serious fare, but to watch over and over it needs to be fluffy. : )

2. Say Anything
3. So I Married an Axe Murderer
4. Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken

Four Places I've Lived

2. Missoula Montana

4. Monterey California (The Jabberwock B&B done up with an Alice in Wonderland theme, very cool)

*Honorable mentions: Cool places I visited when I was little: Victoria BC and Yellowstone National Park. As an adult: Puerto Vallarta

Four of my favorite dishes

1. Barbeque! I love me a good barbeque. Chicken, steak, corn on the cob, other fresh veggies. It's all good.
2. Chicken with pan fried noodles
3. Hot and spicy buffalo wings with chunky bleu cheese dressing
4. My homemade spaghetti made with fresh herbs from my garden

*Honorable mention: PF Changs sauteed spinach with garlic yum!

Four places I'd rather be right now

1. In Tahiti with my husband and kids (sans kids wouldn't be horrible either) ; )

3. On vacation someplace new with my family, for example Italy.
4. At any lighthouse/ and or the beach with my family of course
