Turning Japenese

We've found an excelent new use of our pantry... Carma's new bedroom!

We'll be able to fit so many more kids into this house now.

Dusty and I were very careful with her in there, she didn't even come close to falling out.

In other news chek out this crazy awesome lightning storm from last night...
I know Brooke will think it's awesome!

BACK BY POPULAR DEMAND!!!

I finally got my computer fixed! I can't tell you how stoked I am! It's been not working for a couple weeks now and before that I had been on an awesome vacation season. I'll be sure to post some pictures soon, but for now just think about how great it feels to finally have me back!

I'm a Bad Friend

My good friend Niki sent Carma this cute headband a while ago and I forgot to send her a thank you. I love it and Carma looks so sweet wearing it. So I'll shout it to the blog world...

THANK YOU NIKI!!!

I'm so sorry I'm a crappy friend and you're a nice one. Love Ya!

My Daughter is Weird

This is how I found her the other day after her nap.

Just laying there calm and talking to herself.

It was so funny to watch her like this!

She's pretty Cute!

Gracie is such a nice friend!

Pickle Mania 2008

I found a good deal on pickling cucumbers through my Bountiful Basket,

so I decided to buy a few to can and make pickles. And by a few I mean

50 POUNDS OF CUCUMBERS!!!

That's a lot of pickles! Brooke and I got together and hung out and pickled ourselves silly.

The prep work was the longest part of the process but it sill took our whole day. We ended up with 36 pint size jars of spears and 24 quarts of slices. Yes we canned 60 jars of pickles.

Hopefully they taste good!

Our little helper Remi

If I could live soley on pickles, my three month food storage supply would be done!

Thank Goodness It's Friday

I haven't eaten at TGI Fridays many times, but I have eaten at this one once. I went to this fine dinning establishment the day my husband was sworn into the Fire Department.

It was my first night during my marriage of having to be alone at night and I was really sad about it (I did not liked what I had gotten myself into, but don't worry I kinda enjoy it now).

After his ceremony I drove home and cried a little and then ate myself silly at this very TGI Fridays.

Well, last Sunday it burned.

We saw the smoke from the freeway on our way home and we couldn't help but stop and look.

At the time I had totally forgotten about that night I spent alone here but it came back to me as I looked at these pictures tonight.

So goodbye full order of boneless wings.

Goodbye big hamburger.

And goodbye 2 (yes I ate 2 that night) desserts.

Thanks for healing my wounded heart on Dec 6, 2005...

I'll miss what we once had.

4 Months Old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Today was Carma's 4 month old birthday!

We spent the day lounging in our pajamas and watching TV.

We also went on a walk and Carma ate a big bowl of rice cereal. She's getting so big and fun! Here are some pictures for your enjoyment...

Just playing around!
"No pictures, please! I'm eating!"
"What?"
