Wow

I really have more to say about the last week or so but I have to share this with anyone who cares.




I really could not believe this when I first heard it. I really love this song and what he did to it was amazing! I have not been voting yet this season because I just didn't feel like it was that great of a season, no matter what happens to this kid after American Idol I hope he makes it!

Which Austin Heroine Are You?

Take the Quiz here!

You are Anne Elliot of Persuasion! Let's face it; you're easily persuaded, particularly when friends and relatives try to use "the Elliot way" against you. But this doesn't mean that you don't have conviction. Actually, your sense of duty is overwhelming. And though you won't stick your neck out too often, you have learned to speak up when it counts. To boot, you know how to handle sticky situations. You love deeply and constantly.

Three Word Wednesday

Punch- I would really love to Punch the person or persons who think that dumping a can of baked beans on cars is a good idea. What do people do in there spare time. I don't understand why anyone would go out in weather of 5 degress, snowing, windy and just plain freezing cold to dump a can of baked beans on a van. This is the third time in the 7 years that we have lived here that this has happened. Really what do people think about.
T-shirt- For valentines day my husband thought it would be a good idea to give me a t-shirt from my favorite restraunt, El Zarappe. Now, the thing is he bought two, Xl t-shirts, green and orange. Ok I do not ware XL and I really should not ware shirts from resturants.
Unravel- really what to say about unraveling. Happening as we speak! Have you ever met Will. He totally did that today!

Babysitting

I had the chance to babysit this past week for a friend of mine. Isn't her baby just sooo cute. He's big one. I only had him over for about an hour or two. The kids just loved having him around.

Madi and Will want more sibblings. It is so funny to hear them talk about it all the time. A few weeks ago Will had a friend over and they were fighting over how to correctly play a video game (really I don't know how this boy can stand Will sometimes, but it just seems to roll off his back). I went in to turn down the volume so I can help Madi in the other room with her homework. I came back to ask Madi if she was sure she wanted more brothers and sisters. She told me yes. Then I asked again, what if all I had was four more boys and they were all like Will. She just quickly said she would protect the baby and be taped in her room. I started to laugh and then she realized what she had said and started laughing as well. She ment to say she would lock herself in her room. I then told her she was probably right that she would be taped up in her romm if there were 5 boys running around the house! Any how, no news on any new babys anyway, so for now she is safe!

Tiffany - Kipani

My name in Hawaiian. I was searching for some reciepes for a Luau that we are having Friday night. And I came across this kind of fun thing. It will show you your Hawaiian name. Cool yuh!

Madison - Makikonu

Michael - Mikale

August - Aukake or Will - Wile

And since I was checking these things out I thought I would get a photo. When I was in Hawaii more than 25 years ago (I was either 8 or 9) I remembered this spot most of all.

Mike by a couple of inches, although I don't see it.

Well, the story is, I emailed him on valentines day (wednesday) and asked him to Mock Marry me.

Who has more siblings?
We don't have siblings! My poor children don't have aunts and uncles or cousins.


I’m tagging anyone who wants to answer these questions.

Asleep

Ok I sent the kids to bed at resonable hour. Will kept creeping downstairs with the all famous excuse "I can't sleep" rutine. So I yelled a few times I said he was going to lose all video and computer and tv for life, still the boy kept comeing downstairs. After a while I did not hear from him, so I'm sitting here at my favorite spot on the couch checking email watching a little tv and then I hear this heaving breathing. What can this be! I get up to find my boy asleep at the bottom of the stairs. I just had to get a shot of this one. When I told hima about it the next day he said he was just faking. I asure you that he was not. It took me at least 5 minutes to get him awake, to get him to crawl up the stair so I could lift him into bed.

The Back Seat

This photo is of Mike and the kids on the way home from San Diego. We drove from Vegas to the San Diego Zoo. The next days we went to Sea World, then Legoland, then the beach. We drove home from the Beach! Wow, was I fried! Not as bad as I usually get but ouch, the sand the sun. Not a really fun drive home. But It was a great 4 days that I will not forget. Madison got her hair tied at Legoland. She had it in her hair for a few weeks but then really wanted it out.
Will had a blast. I don't think I ever saw him happier. He loved everything but Legoland and the beach were his favorite. I wish I had pictures at the beach. I left my camara in the car. Oh well, guess we have to go back!

So how do I start this?

I have started a few blogs before but always fail to keep them up. The last one I started in September and then added nothing else so I will repost that one later on this my new blog! And I will keep up to date. My other thought is that I am not as witty as my talented friends. I hope to gain some of their knowledge and great wit and grab a few ideas for myself. Hope to hear from my witty friends!
