GOT MILK? et. al.

I found this photo of Carlos I took last summer (man, has he changed in a few months!). Can you see his milk mustache? ;)

Apparently Ashley has decided to start saving up for this. Very lofty dreams for a thirteen-year-old, but I say the more power to her if she's able to do it! I'm not a Mac person myself (Hi to all you Mac users--apparently Ashley will be joining you soon!), but I'll be very happy for her if she gets it. She'll be saving for a L-O-N-G time, though, lol!

We went to The Grove last Saturday to spend some time out and about. We went to the Barnes and Noble and enjoyed looking at books. I love this photo of Carlos. It's so typical of him (and me, lol!) when he is at a bookstore. I totally LOVE (and am extremely grateful for) the fact that both my kids enjoy books tremendously. I myself could spend literally hours in a bookstore (sans kids, that is!), so I enjoy that they share my passion for books.

On a little side note, growing up, books were my entire world. When I was in the middle of a good book and I just HAD to find out what happened, I would sneak a flashlight into bed, put it under the covers, and read away ... until I would get caught (oops). Then the book would be snatched away as a consequence (that was the equivalent of ripping my heart out, lol!). But not even that could deter me. There were times I would sneak into the bathroom in the middle of the night, close the door, turn on the light, and read until I actually couldn't keep my eyes open. Of course, I hope their passion for reading doesn't extend that far!

Ashley and I went to the American Girl Store to have a few minutes of girl time together while the boys did their thing. When I look at pictures like this, she still seems like my little girl :)

LOVE this picture of her enjoying her ice cream at the Farmer's Market there.

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Another Layout

Credits here . Can you tell how I've been spending my free time :) I had the most fun taking these pictures! I just asked Ashley to tell me a story (she is quite the storyteller and quite the drama queen--she takes after her aunt, lol!) . As she was telling her GREAT story, I just used the "continuous" mode in the fancy, shmancy camera and shot away. Went to Seal Beach today with Teena . So fun and relaxing. Why don't I have pictures to share? Ummm, I kind of forgot the CF card (to store the pictures on) at home. That's only the second time in less than a week that I've done that. Aren't you proud of me?! In case any of you were wondering, yes, I am a total "spaz." :)
