Ronan has been so crabby for about two weeks. I mean CRABBY! Everything set this kid off. Well, it turns out he had a good reason to be so upset. On Wednesday I notices his very crooked jaw line. That piled together with a bunch of other things led me... Continue reading

It has been a little while, eh guys? We went to Disneyland again, this time with some family. We met Courage the Turkey. He was pardoned of his obligation as the Presidents Turkey Dinner in 2009 by President Obama. After his pardon, Courage headed to Disneyland in California, where he... Continue reading

This year was wonderful. Lots of family and friends. We took present opening very slow and Ronan enjoyed everything. Of course Santa brought him a Star Wars Laser Gun and a Transformer. Better than words, have a few pictures. Reading the Christmas Story is always fun when superheros get involved.... Continue reading

See that? That is a fashion contentious dragon fly, assisting me in looking fly for all of about 45 seconds. I wish I could get one to pose on my shoulder regularly. Continue reading

I took Ronan to see Santa at the mall today. I was lucky to find the line almost non-existent. We timed it right at noon hoping most kids would be eating lunch. Who goes directly at noon? Apparently nobody but us. Score. Ronan was much too shy to actually speak... Continue reading

I cleaned out my phone today to make room for some terrible pop music. Embarrassing pop music. The kind of stuff you hope nobody sees that you own. It has only one use for me: work out music. There is something about trashy, crappy pop that makes the best gym... Continue reading

This picture had to be put out there. John did a spoof video where he needed to be "gangster". The polar opposit of "real John". I came up with the costume. I found everything I needed at Wal-Mart. Of course I did, right? I even drew a tattoo for him.... Continue reading

I figured out how to record Ronan getting a video message from Santa. He was so thrilled. Here is his reaction. If you can't tell, he wants a laser gun. Badly. He has been thinking about it for months. I thought he would forget about it by now. Apperently not.... Continue reading

I dropped off the blogging planet in 2010. For nearly a year, I refused to blog. I spent the summer in Texas. Came home. Decorated. Made things. And now it is winter, and I am bored to tears. So, I am going to pick up my neglected blog. I am... Continue reading

Ronan is loving Texas. But more than that, he is loving the stairs to our apartment. There are 19 to be exact. I know because we count them at least twice a day as Ronan goes down them. He recites his numbers rather well is his high pitched adorable voice.... Continue reading

We went to Barnes & Nobel the other day. John introduced Ronan tp Star Wars via a picture book. I could hear Ronan yelling, "Ooohhh!" all the way across the store. Very cute. Continue reading

Here we are. In Texas. It is nice and summer-ish. We are having highs around 87 and lows of 72. I love to have summer weather. It is humid. That may not be so fun as the summer rolls on. Corpus Christi is kind of lame. It is an old... Continue reading

Ronan loves to lay his dolls (yes dolls, only of the manliest variety) down and pretend they are asleep. He lays them down and says,"Night night!". Then makes theatrical snoring sounds. I love it. Continue reading

It is 5 in the morning. I have been up since 3. Roan and I are in the airport shuttle headed to the salt lake city airport. Then off to Texas for the summer. Last night I was feeling a little sad about leaving. Thinking I would miss my house,... Continue reading

We had a brief stink of trying to get preggie. It didn't fly quite as quick as last try. Last time was first try. I have been trying to get fit, which is a lot harder if you are tip toe-ing around a possibly full uterus. Now that I know... Continue reading

Today was Ronan's first Easter that he could actually enjoy. He has been too young to have fun with it until this year. I colored eggs, John ate them, and Ronan crushed them and laughed. The Easter bunny brought him a classic chocolate rabbit, M&M's, sidewalk chalk and some farm... Continue reading

My husband is amazing. He will happily take on any project. Any yucky project that I would do anything to avoid. This week he has been trimming out our three story blue spruce. Yeah, I said three story. This tree has not been touched in about 20 years. That is... Continue reading

A couple of nights ago Ronan, Nana and I had tickets to "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" at the SCERA. He was so thrilled. I let him present his ticket to the kid at the entrance like a big kid. He eats that kind of stuff up. He... Continue reading

Before I had Ronan, daylight savings time was delightful. Who doesn't want more sunshine during their day? I loved changing my clock every Spring. Ah, Spring Forward, it made me want to do just that. Not anymore. Whoever is in charge of nixing daylight savings time needs to move ahead... Continue reading
