I am officially ringing in 2009 on my couch with my brand new laptop...blogging! No, folks, I am not normally this boring of a person. In fact, J and I attended a wedding/reception tonight. J has been sick for about 3 days now and this morning he was sure that he was feeling better. When we ran home

...and most of you know him as "J"...or "hubby". Yep, that's correct, my - oh so fabulous husband- has started showing me how to work this blog thing. I really hate to admit that my undergrad degree was in MIS (management information systems) because most people mistake that to mean that I am a

Today is our very loving, cuddly, crazy and wild, sometimes annoying, mostly innocent, 2nd child...MISS K'S BIRTHDAY! She is four years old today! This dog has brought so much joy to our lives, not to mention that her and P are the best of friends. As a puppy, Klaya was my saving grace when daddy

Christmas Unwrapped

Christmas was a lot of fun this year! P was ridiculously spoiled by his Gigi and Papa. I thought he would be more in to opening the presents than he was...but that's what I get for being a first time mom. Seventeen month olds...do not care about unwrapping presents. They just want the toy...and they

I heart Christmas!

With Christmas Eve being T minus...a few minutes...I still had a few last gifts to wrap! I finished up with no time to spare. I'm usually SOOOO NOT last minute, but apparently, when you become a mommy, that all changes. I'm wondering why I went to all the trouble of wrapping...P could have cared

I think it's pretty clear, from all my posts, that Gigi and Papa SPOIL the P Man rotten!! Papa is a retired Director of Manufacturing and Gigi is a retired (well maybe not retired yet) Domestic Goddess = as she calls herself. They are kind enough to keep the P while J and I work (could we be any

P has set his eyes on the big man in the red suit quite a few times. Like most kids his age, he doesn't seem to like him too much. There is no smiling. No laughing. No clapping. And definitely No hugging. All P had to offer to Santa...his "mean face" (if you don't remember "mean face"...click here).

I have been dying to blog about this story for a few days now, but haven't had the chance. So finally...I have a few minutes to tell you just exactly what my two mother's have been up to lately. As you know, J's ma is here from Las Vegas (she actually just left last night, but has been here for 2

Saturday night was the BIG work Christmas party! We started the night at Fusion, a local cocktail bar, where J and I met a few SIH friends. The party started at 6 pm so we didn't get too many pre-drinks in before it was time to head to the big event. In fact, I started with a caramel latte and had

Not only is my lil guy rotten...he knows how to give the "mean" face...ALREADY! I have no idea where he picked this up from, but all the sudden he started giving us these really mean looks. It is SOOO funny! And, ofcourse, now it's a game. When mommy says "give me your mean face"...this is what

If you really want something…just ask Grandma!

I think it's easy to generalize...ALL grandma's like to spoil their grandkids. Hence, why mommy's sometimes turn out to be the "bad guy". Well, having TWO grandma's in our house makes it DOUBLE-Y bad!! Here's what I found when I came in the kitchen the other night. Gigi, Gma Lilly (Ye-ye), P and
