I almost cried at the grocery store today. I had been waiting in line to buy a candle for Peter’s birthday cake, that’s it, a single candle. One of the guys saw that I only had one thing and opened up a line to quickly let me through. When he waved me over the two [...]
We just watched Bedknobs and Broomsticks. The boys loved it. They thought it was fun and silly. It reminded me of my Mom. Love you Mom!
I have the song from Saturday’s Warrior stuck in my head, “Will I wait for you? Why, Walley Kestler, you should be ashamed of yourself…” It made me think of Amy and Sean. Which made me think of Uncle Rusty and ex-lax brownies. Oh, good times…
We watched Big with Tom Hanks the other day. It made me think of Amy. I remember she had a crush on him.
…ice cream soda pop, vanilla on top, OOoo Shalita, walkin’ down the street, 10 times a week, I met ‘er, I set her, I stole my momma’s credit, I’m cool, I’m hot, sock you [...]
Halloween was fun this year. The kids were old enough to get excited about it. I made them Tyrone and Pablo costumes from the Backyardigans.
I’m carving papayas with the kids. You can buy pumpkins down here but they’re $10! So we tried papayas and the kids didn’t even notice the difference.
I totally have a craving for my Mom’s green cottage cheese jello.
I’m having one of those crazy emotional days where you feel like crying all day but there’s nothing to be upset about, it’s just stupid hormones.
My friend Joalea tagged me. Here are the rules:
1. go to your my document/my pictures
2. go to your sixth file
3. go to your sixth picture
4. blog about it
5. tag six people
This picture is from June 2008. Some friends of ours (a missionary couple serving at the Costa Rican Temple) asked us if we wanted [...]
It’s been awhile since I wrote. If you look back a few posts on March 17th I wrote about riding my bike and how much fun I was having giving my kids rides in the basket and proud that I was in shape enough to do it.
On March 18th I had Peter in the basket [...]
I’m flying on an airplane in six hours and just watched an episode of LOST…it was even the episode where they crash on the island…not helpful…
I woke up at 5:00 this morning and my boys slept in past 8:00. They haven’t slept in that late in a long time.
My boys just asked me if they could go to school (it’s 9pm). They love school.
A lot of people are expressing their dislike of the snow. Would it be mean of me to complain about it getting hot down here? It’s in the 90’s!
Yesterday James and I watched the last episode of Battle Star Galactica (if you haven’t seen it stop reading. I spoil the ending.)
For those that don’t know the story I’ll do a quick recap. Four years ago there was a big war between the machines and the humans. The planet was no longer inhabitable so [...]
About a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with endometriosis. It was only in my c-section scar but when I had my period my scar hurt like I had just had surgery all over again. I did a treatment for six months that helped while I was on it. But all the hormone [...]
I’ve been feeling really “BLAH” lately. I just don’t even want to do anything. I think it’s mostly from hormones. I had a miscarriage about two weeks ago. I was only about two weeks pregnant so it really wasn’t that big of a deal. But miscarriages just mess up your hormones for a month or [...]
I’d had my camera out taking a few pictures and Jimmy wanted to take a picture of me. I think he did a really good job. It’s a little close, but I like it.
We are so spoiled here in Costa Rica. The temperature stays around 74 degrees most of the year. If it ever gets up to 78-80 we’re dying of heat.
A few days ago we had one of those days where it rains ALL day so it gets a little cold. That night I put [...]
I just had a cool experience.
I had ordered a pair of pants and they just came in. I ordered them from a new place, so I wasn’t sure how their sizes run.
When I opened the package I held up the pants and though, “oh man, there’s no way those will fit. I guess I’ll have [...]
At the grocery store I regularly go to there is a bag boy the has a crush on me. At first I thought it was just a coincidence that he was usually the one to bag my groceries and seemed almost excited when he saw me. I thought I just was being silly.
But today I [...]
I’m very grateful for peaches! I haven’t had peaches in a long time. This week when there were peaches at the store I bought a whole bag.
Today there were a few times that I just wanted to go around the corner and buy some junk food. But then I remembered that we [...]
Over memorial day weekend I took advantage of a sale at Bath and Body Works and got a bunch of yummy smelling soaps and lotions.
But sadly today I realized that I have to get rid of my fabulously fragrant soap. Today I walked into the bathroom to find Jimmy sucking on the pump of the [...]
It’s amazing how much your kids can do the few minutes you’re going to the bathroom. Today the kids were playing good with there toys so I thought I’d run to the bathroom really quick. (Taking advantage of going alone.) When I was done I walked into the kitchen and there is a full role [...]
I love Father’s Day. One great thing I like is James has a Birthday in May and it seems I get him more things for Father’s Day then I do for his birthday.
James is hard to shop for because if there is something he needs or wants he just orders it. So in [...]
