Enjoy the Weekend...and the Heat!

Ridin a Horse

Sequoia Park and Zoo

I had a business trip in Humboldt County, so I took Mom and T along to visit the ocean (I'll upload those pics later). While I was in my meeting they went to the Sequoia Park and Zoo, where T had lots of fun and her favorite animal was the cat with the mouse in its mouth! Too funny.

Spring Vacation

Mom, T, and I were able to take a spring vacation and took the long way to Ventura to spend spring break with my brother and his family who were on spring break. We left here, went over the sierras to Mono Lake, Lone Pine (Alabama Hills State Park), Death Valley, and then to Ventura. Spring is here -the desert is alive!

Tasty

Simple pleasure, no guilt, yes I will have the cupcake and the large lollipop -no problem, it's my birthday ;)

I'm 3! March 10

Disney Princesses on Ice

T had a great time watching all her favorite princess characters skating (scaping as she likes to call it). Here you see her shyly modeling her dress, which later she exclaimed, when she saw the "real" Sleeping Beauty -my dress, that's my dress! Oh yes and we must not forget the 12 dollar plastic cup I had to buy, oh boy the icee came with it -no charge...lol what a rip off, expcept for that she loves it.

Words to live by

One of the women from my MPH program shared these thoughts she read at the bookstore, I thought the message was important and good to pass along. I know that there are times when I need to be reminded to be positive. Raising Ms. T I know she is watching and listening and I really want her to have a healthy outlook on life...so these are words to live by!

-Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words.
- Keep your words positive, because your words become your behavior.
- Keep your behavior positive, because your behavior becomes your habits.
- Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values.
- Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.

Snow

Whew, I'm crossing all my fingers and toes and putting it out there....you all keep your germs to yourselves! LOL I know what it's like to be sick and have a little one sick -no one's cup of tea. Hope all my friends and T's play pals get better soon.

On an up note, we went to our friends mom's house up in Strawberry Valley and had a snow day last Saturday. Ms. T luvvved it!

Our Xmas Vacation

T and I had a very enjoyable winter vacation, it was great to go south and spend time with my bro and his family -T loves her cousins. As a bonus the weather was very nice, the day before xmas it was 70 degrees! This didn't last, but it was still nice. We were able to enjoy the beach, go to Magic Mt. (the day after xmas is a great day to go, hardly any people -they're all shopping), visit my sister-in-law's family from Utah (they were in Anahiem for Dizzyland), and of course just be lazy. Now that I'm back to the real world, I'm not looking forward to the hectic pace that my life tends to be. It' s back to not only being a mom but work, consultant work, school, and whatever else life throws at me. Though I'll have to say that getting my Master's degree has been a dream a long time in the works....so I won't complain too much -anyway my mom is moving from ID to live with us to give a little relief and enjoy time with family while she pursues her dream of going back to school. I hope this new year brings great times and memories for your families -I'm looking forward to all the fun mine brings me.

XMas Fairy 2007

Visiting With Santa

Just to let you all know, T is scared of Santa, but this Santa is a guy that she knows from the rez so somehow she either knew him or just had a feeling (cause last week she ran and screamed get away from me to the two previous mall Santas we saw). I'm glad she had a good time.

Getting in the Xmas Spirit!

Well this year we LUUUUVVVV Xmas, T is so excited about all the lights...and wants me to take her into Longs Drugs because there is a Chrissmas Clause riding a bicycle in there. (one of those air blow up santas riding a motorcycle). This is the only Santa she likes, she still screams and backs up when the "real" one tries to speak with her at the mall. Will keep you all updated on the joys of xmas.
