Valentine's Day

Hope everyone had a great Valentine's day!  (Even though it was weeks ago!!). It started off a little sad for us.   My great aunt's dog passed away that morning.  His name was Rudy and he was such a great companion to her.   We felt a good way to spend the day would be showing her our love and support by visiting her.  We have a dog of our own so we know how attached one can get to a furry companion.  We had a really good visit and it was really good seeing her.  She really appreciated it.  The rest of the day we just relaxed and were entertained by these three!    

Opening their gifts.

I had been wanting to try this on the girls for a while.  I found it online of course.  It came out cute, I thought

 Strawberry cupcakes.  You know it's funny but I think I've decided I'm not crazy about strawberry cake.  They were fun to make though.  Danny had fun.  He did one, then he was done.

 So there you have it Valentine's Day 2012.  Not very eventful but nice :)

WICKED

 Thanks to my wonderful aunt Marcy, I had the opportunity to see one of the best musicals ever!!  After seeing this, I completely  understand what the hype is all about now.  I was so taken by the story, and the music was amazing!  Not to mention the cast, they were phenomenal!  Afterwards I just kept thinking of what it must of taken to not only create this story but also to get it to match up so well with 'The Wizard of Oz'.  Such amazing talent and imagination!   A big thank you to my aunt Nellie and cousin Maya for joining me!  I had a lot of fun!  Cecilio even got to see it and he actually liked it.  He really appreciated the message!  It was so great, wish there was a DVD so I could watch it over and over.   

Me, Nellie, and Maya 

They were great seats!  Thank you again Marcy!  I was "changed for good"! 

Epilepsy Foundation

Check out this new blog my sister-in-law has started!  About two years ago my cousin was diagnosed with epilepsy and this is what she's doing to help!

Eternal Bond

I LOVE their bond!  It's so fascinating!

Snow Day

I know this much snow may seem lame to some but for us this is actually a big deal!!  Danny loved it and says he hates the sun now because it made most of the snow melt away!

Snowball fight!

Wanna mess with me?

Sporting their new hats that Grandma got for them.  Thank you Grandma!!

The girls weren't too crazy about the snow.  The stayed outside for a little bit and when they came inside they started whining that they're hands hurt.  It was kind of cute.

Danny's been wanting to build a snowman for a while now and was so excited at his chance!

Hey, we'll take what we can get!  

Hope everyone has a great Christmas!!  Merry Christmas everyone!!

Danny's First Professional Haircut

Since Danny was about four months old he's been getting haircuts at home. You'd figure he'd be used to it by now but for the last two years it has been a nightmare to cut his hair. He would just see the buzzers and have a near meltdown! Then we would have to bribe him with chocolates and movies and he would still cry the WHOLE time!  Hence the scraggly hairdo's. Well, since he just turned five we figured it was time to put the buzzers away and get this poor kid a haircut with actual scissors! We found this neat place on Mesa, and with a coupon we found it was totally affordable! Needless to say Danny loved the experience and we enjoyed not having to torture him. As for the girls, I still can't bring myself to cut their hair yet but when I'm ready I think they'll really enjoy this place.

Jack Johnson Autograph...No Way!!!

About a month ago I pre ordered a Christmas cd.  The first 200 orders included an autographed post card of Jack Johnson.  I figured, what the heck!  I love his music so it's a win win situation.  If I get the autograph great, if not, that's great too right?  Well lo and behold...I got one!  You cannot believe how excited I am about this!  He is my favorite, favorite, favorite singer!  I think I love him even more now!  Woo hoo!  I just can't believe it.

His hands actually touched this postcard!  (I hope anyway)  Just thinking about it gives me butterflies!!
