Flo's and Oplanes

When a girl needs some biscuits and gravy the pickin's are slim here in the OC... so that's why we packed the kids up and headed to Chino baby. We met my parents at my beloved Flo's cafe, right next to the tiny Chino airport and down the street from the prisons and cow pastures. It doesn't get anymore 909 than Flo's, friends. And the biscuits and gravy were exactly what I had been craving for weeks, so good, in fact, that if it weren't 35 miles away I'd go again tomorrow. Such great memories of little me growing up going to Flo's with the fam. (Find pictures mom!). Here are some pics from the morning...



Isn't that the BEST picture of Addison? My mom is gorgeous as usual, but, I'm really thinking Addie-girl should be a model.




Ben really dug looking at the old planes that are parked at the airport there.




Although Im pretty sure Mark liked the food, I think the highlight of his morning was spotting this historical landmark...
A Phone booth.

He wanted his picture take with one because he's pretty sure he'll never see one again... unless we go back tomorrow. :-)

Neither have I... Claudia was not really the buscuit and gravy kind of gal... infact... I think I am thankfull for that. It does not look appealing to me at all. The idea sounds good at first. But I would want mine plain, with some honey butter :)
PS... Addie is booked for modeling :)

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

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. :-)
