Random Sillyness: Magic Balloons

Image
By
So this is totally random and old news . . . well kind of. For Valentines day I got up early and got some balloons to surprise Jeff when he work up. Nothing special, I just ran to Albertsens (the closest store) and got him a couple of treats. They did surprise him, mainly because he is a Score boy through and through and sleeps like a ROCK, he didn't even know I had left. Anyway, after that Jeff made me our traditional heart-shaped pancakes which were great.
Even more random side note, while I was there I saw this ugly pink stuffed monster (pictured below). My thoughts when I saw it were "Who on earth would ever get this for their valentine!?" Well, later that day Jeff came home with some roses, a card, and this little monster I had been mocking in the store. I honestly just laughed out loud! I told Jeff about my thoughts earlier and he just laughed and proceeded to tell me it was Rick's fault. Apparently if your purchased 3 cards the little "Love Machine" (I came to learn it's proper title) came free. I guess there was originally a little bear that he was going to get instead but they were all out (I think that happens a lot when you go shopping on V-day haha) But anyway, it was hilarious!!

Anyway, the whole point of me blogging this is to tell you that these were Magic Balloons! I'm not even kidding. Normally you are Lucky if you can get your Latex Balloons to stay up for the day, well I am here to report that the balloons lasted 2 MONTHS! Not even kidding. Here is a picture one month later with Parker who clearly was not born before V-day.
The was one lonesome balloon standing strong on April 14, the other two slowly sank, I was going to take a picture but it was a pretty crazy day so I didn't get the chance and the next day it started sinking. But honestly, have you ever heard of such a thing? 2 MONTHS! Crazy! I guess I'll be buying all my balloons at Albertsons.

You bought me balloons for my birthday when you were still my visiting teacher, and they seriously lasted forever. I remember Gavin was playing with them around Easter and my birthday was in January. I guess you just know how to pick balloons... :)

I need a haircut ASAP! This is me saying, "I'll smile if you ignore my hair." Don't get me wrong, I am really excited I have long hair, I love having long hair , but it needs a little TLC. It has been a few months since I have even got a trim and I am still re-couping from a not so good hair cut. The last few times I have really CUT my hair, not just a trim, I was not pleased with the results. Now it would probably help if I was willing to pay more than $10 for a hair cut . . . but I'm Mrs. High Pockets as my father calls me and it is really hard for me to spend money on my hair. So I need your help! What do you think I should do? Before you make any suggestions you should know: It MUST be able to go back into a ponytail!!!!!!! My hair is STICK STRAIGHT My hair will not curl to save my life (via over night curls, hot curls, even curling irons, they just don't work) I want and need something EASY! I do not like to spend time on my hair and I don...

Em's Blessing

By
Emily's Blessing day was so great! Since we were moving home so soon after she was born, we decided to just wait until we got out here to CA so our family could be there for it. It was pretty low key compared to P's (and by that I mean less family there) but was still just as wonderful. Jeff gave a beautiful blessing. It was also special because she wore the dress I was sealed to my parents in. Jeff wasn't a fan of how long it was for such a small baby, but it was so neat for her to wear something that is so special in my family. The P-man looked like a little stud in his outfit too! I wish I would have gotten some of the two of them together, o-well. It was a fabulous day! Thanks so much for all the family and friends that were there, it meant so much to have you there and we missed those who couldn't come! Isn't she so perfect! I love this picture of her laying on the grass. She is so pure and clean and perfect ! I love her!

Disneyland

By
A little late but . . . We Went To Disneyland! So you may or may not know that we went to Disneyland back in July. It was so much fun! As we were planning the trip I was really worried about how it would be taking 2 babies there, in my mind they were way too young to do anything there but boy was I wrong! All of us had a great time and we all went on tons of rides, even Emily! Here is a list of all the rides we went on: (The bold ones were P's very favorites) Disneyland Railroad Train Enchanted Tiki Room The Jungle Cruise Tarzan's Tree House Pirates of the Caribbean Haunted Mansion Winnie the Pooh It's a Small World Story Book Land canal boats King Aurthur's Carousel Dumbo Mad Tea Party Tea Cups Peter Pan Mr. Toad's Wild Ride Pinocchio Finding Nemo Submarine Autopia (Cars) Did you know babies could do this much! I sure didn't! I even nursed during 4 of the above mentioned rides which was so nice and saved tons of time! They both did so well on all of the...
