Happy Birthday Mom!!! It was so fun celebrating with her tonight. My dad took some really good pictures, so hopefully I can post some soon. Although we had a couple of kids who weren't too fond of the outing, (Ez and Ben) over all it was a really nice dinner. Carrie made a German chocolate cake, my mom's favorite, and we ate at The Crab Cooker. Having the family together is always fun, but always incomplete... we miss D P J & L!! Maybe we'll get to see them soon though. I'm hankering for a trip to San Fran... so we'll see!

I haven't posted in awhile, so I'm going back a few days here.

I am thankful for...

1. my mom arriving safely home from her trip and being able to pick her up from the airport last Wednesday.
2. seeing all the pictures of distant relatives back in MS and TN.
3. a really nice time at Casey's baby shower in Simi Valley yesterday. And getting to see all the (pregnant) valley girls together at the shower.
4. February 10, 2007
5. Spending time with Mark's family Sunday evening, playing games and what not. Usually when we're there we dump Ben and go house hopping visiting friends. This time we just hung out with the fam and enjoyed a wonderful dinner and dessert. Good thing we saw them too, Tina leaves for NC, AGAIN, tomorrow. Yea for Amy, boo for me.
6. a nice time with the Yee family, and really good cookies that they made yesterday.
7. Joe's visit last night.
8. a nice time with Carrie and the boys at D-land today. It was hot and crowded, but we still did our favorites and had a good time together.
9. dinner with my family tonight. It was especially nice to have both Jason and Mark there since they are pretty busy guys right now, we love their presence when we get it.
10. my mom's sweet birthday. Getting to see her today was fun and I think she had a good birthday. She looked beautiful and I just love her so much!

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
