he's not molly

my brother-in-law, michael, took some pictures of us at his parent's cabin in big lagoon after thanksgiving. it was freezing!!!! i think they turned out rather well!!

take a walk

please remember that daniel aaron is not yet 8 months old. i think we can all agree that he is definitely gifted. i am so proud!

let's play TAG!!

A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning. B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves. C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asks them to read your blog.

1. i think of myself as thinner than i really am. in my mind i look the same as i did in high school. when i watch the "biggest losser" and see the after photo's i think, "they aren't that thin", and then i find out they weigh less than i do. so basically i have weird distorted vain sense of self.

2. i hate my nose. it is my most unfavorite thing about my body. my stretch marks, love handles, cellulite, those i can hide with clothing. unless i start wearing a burqua there is no way i can hide my nose.

3. i cry all the time. if i hear a beautiful song on the radio, or if a child bears thier testimony in church, or if i read a really good book or conference talk, all of them will leave me in tears. i even cried last saturday when i saw my niece in her first play. and of course i cried when i saw sunshine bramwell's slide-show!!

4. i am terrified of having a daughter, and yet it is my biggest wish. how can my hearts greatest desire leave me shaking with fear?

5. i love the poetry of e.e.cummings. the man speaks to my heart with his brilliant rythm and syntax. he is the reason i don't capitalize letters when blogging (it's not just laziness).

6. i love school fundraisers that involve junk food. anything from girl scout cookies to selling chocolate bars!! i can never feel guilty eating the junk food because the money i paid is helping someone!!

ok, i'm gonna tag michael, katie l., gaby, jenny m., holly and julie. here it goes!!

p.s. thanks for tagging me chanel! it made me feel special!!

fairy tale

once upon a time there was a beautifull princess named snow white who found a cute frog in a fountain.

and the beautiful princess loved the frog and decided to give him a kiss.

and the frog turned into a handsome knight.

and the knight protected the beautiful princess from the fierce dragon.

and they all lived happily ever after.

the end.

p.s. i made my own and peter's costumes. yay for me!!

so pretty!!

at playschool peter jon was playing with the water hose and got all wet, so the teacher put him in her daughter's clothes and sent him home. then at home peter jon got into my make-up. he came out of my closet (where i keep my make-up) yelling "i'm so pretty!!!"

my son is out of the closet and wearing girls clothes and make-up. should i be worried?

my monkeys

just the other day i wanted to vaccum, so i put the boys in their room to play while i did it. i put daniel in his crib, so he would be safe, and peter jon i just let play on the floor. when i finished vaccuming i heard singing and jumping coming from their room and this is what i found: peter jon in the crib jumping and singing "10 little monkeys" to his brother. it was so cute!!

yep, that's right. my big man is crawling. daniel is only 6 months old, but he is crawling, and eating cherios, and throwing tantrums. i think he may be gifted, i mean, these are very advanced skills :)

playschool

today peter jon went to his first day of playschool. what is playschool? well, let me explain. it is not preschool, and it is not a playdate, it is somewhere in between. 3 moms from church and myself are taking turns haveing eachother's 3 year olds one week a month for 3 hrs a day (2 days per week). we have free play time, cirle time, snack time, and then more play time. it is pretty laid back, and peter jon is the only boy. it works out great because he doesn't have to share any cars or trains. if you can't tell, his shirt says "ladies man".

some memories are best served deep fried

on saturday august 1st my family went to the state fair in sacramento. it was soooo fun! we saw all the exhibits from the different counties in california, and i'm sorry to say that the san diego county exhibit was the worst. very disappointing. but the boys posed as the calaveras county jumping frogs. then peter jon got to hold a baby pig, and a crayfish. he is more brave than his dad, who wouldn't hold the crayfish. so i had to catch it and give it to peter jon so he could hold it. we all had a great time eating fair food, and petting barn yard animals. it was well over 100 degrees, and peter scott and i just about melted.

first timer
