i giorni- Ludovico Einaudi

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMoVW-paT3w

Play this and just close your eyes let the music take you. It is so beautiful. I found it while searching a bit on my obcession (the twilight series) some one thought it would fit for Bella's Lullaby which it would but I am so happy I came upon this peice not for Bella's lullaby but because it is so Beautiful and relaxing and I just want to play it over and over again and I have descided that I am going to take lessons I want, no I NEED to learn to play piano I have always wanted to I am not entirely sure what has stopped me.

I love my jumper

Isn't she adorable. I got her the Jumperoo last night and she LOVES it best 20.00 I have spent (i think i said that about her walker too lol) she is getting so big though I can't believe it. She knows how to work all the dodads on that thing as well she is so smart :)

The rocking chair

So we have had this toddler size rocking chair since my older sister was little it was her's, then my brother's, then mine, technicly my little brothers though I don't think he ever used it I recall useing it for my dolls when he was little, and now it is mine again for my kids the boys didn't use it too much they use another chair we have had for just as long but while doing the slides I mentioned earlier I found a pic of K and remembered I have a pic of H in the same chair. 35 years difference same chair :) nice little Heirloom huh?


not my memory lane

so a few months ago being the good daughter that I am I took on the task of converting my dad's slides to digital (mind you I have my own motives as well like makeing a video of all his kids growing up for him) But right now I am stuck in 1969 a good 14 years before I was even thought of a year before my older sister 4 years before my brother and are you ready for this 21 years before my younger brother, I am seeing pictures of my Aunts who passed away this past year when they were young, My daddy with lots of dark hair. My dad is laughing because every once in a while I will call and say ok whose car is that (look at the pictures you'll know what one I am talking about) or ask him who so in so is (normaly i am told it is my grandma or someone I know/knew only 19 or so years later) well back to memories that aren't mine :)


My Aunt Bev's Car Sweet isn't it My dad and my sisters mom, wasn't daddy good lookin'?
not the best pic but all i have on my computer my dad a few months ago in the red shirt Still good lookin' *S*

I hate it when I am right

I knew it. I knew that My birthday was nothing to look forward to... J forgot that my birthday was this weekend. And as much as I try to brush it off I am crushed. He realized today was my birthday when he looked at the calander figureing out his pay check for this week. I hadn't said anything Just went about my day hopeing maybe they were planning something...So no birthday dinner, birthday cake or anything it is just another day added onto my already mopey mood. I want to go back to bed and pretend today isn't happening.

I SHOULD be writeing

I really really really SHOULD be working on the Davian cronicles, I really should. N (my brothers girl friend)and I made so much progress discussing the direction the book was taking us. I have ideas for chapters and I guess the next step is outlineing what happens in the chapters. This book really feels right, I have never FELT my charecters as much as I feel Anna and Davian, and I have certinly never gotten this far. Every once in a while I get a little nudge of doubt I mean how many vampire novels can there be before people get bored with them, and I start to give up but I think of how much life I have given Anna and Davian and I just can't not finish their story, even if only my friends read it. I wish I paid more attention in english class maybe then I would have a better Idea on how to get to where I am going. I described what I have so far and what is in my head to some friends today as the skeleton of the book, just key points here and there that won't change, hopefully with N's help I will be able to flesh out the details in this and connect the details together in what I hope is more than 20 pages... I really need to get back to work...

My baby's baby




So I got the Princess a baby doll not expecting much right now since she is still a baby. I was wrong she loves her baby. Yesterday L desided he wanted the abby and took it from her and

she screamed at him. Not a cry telling me that he took it but a screech directed at him that can only be interpited as "GIVE ME MY BABY BACK NOW!!!!" it was so cute and even more funny was the fact tht he quickly gave her back the doll *laughs*

Goodwill SCORE!!!

So if you know me, you know I have a shopping problem, on the plus side I have learned to shop within my means therefore I am an avid goodwill shopper. Todays trip to goodwill turned out to be a very good one. I went with the intention on finding a Computer chair since I am at the moment sitting on the floor killing my neck by looking up at my screen, and to find a Shirt for Boo to be a pirate. Well no luck on the chair but my brother is bringing me one tomorrow so that is ok. I look through the costumes and I found it a perfect costume for boo it isn't just the shirt but it is pants, a belt, shoe covers to look like boots, and a hat SWEET! then I find a pirate set that has a bandana, a cutlass, and a pistol so awesome how could this day get better? Well I am checking out and I glance down at the display and I see a set of China very beautiful, and since we sold the China my ex gave me (too much akwardness there) I have had an empty China hutch, that has turned into a catch all. Well anyways I ask how much the set is and the lady told me $49.99 well I was sold so I took my treasures home and looked the pattern up on http://www.replacements.com Imperial China, Seville and from there I added up the stuff I bought, an odd assortment of things 13 dinner plates 10 bowls 7 cups stuff like that. well after adding everythign up JUST the stuff we already have our cart was up to $407.05! How freakin awesome is that? We are going to buy one peice a month until we have a complet settign of 14 plus serveing dishes (we are going to be mainly watching ebay) but I am so stoked! here are some pics

7 years

So I have debated off an on all day on if I was going to post something today nothing really seems pop out at me if you will. I remember 9-11-01 clearly I was 10 days away from my 18th birthday, freshly graduated and ready to ship off to boot camp on the 22nd. I was being lazy take into account that I lived on the west coast so when the attack hit there it was only 5 somehing in the morning, that was when my phone began to ring, me being the typical teen that i am picked up the phone and then promptly hung it back up. whoever it was called back i hen turned off the phone. I slept until 9:30 (ah those were the days) when I was fully awake i turned my phone back on and within minutes it ws ringing again this time I answered my best friend at the time amanda was on the other end franticly telling me the world is ending and that i had to turn on the TV so I went out into the living room and watched as the second plane hit the tower I don't know if it was acctualy happening at that moment or if it was a rplay but I remember colapsing and saying "Oh shit" right in front of my mom who didn't seem to care for once that I had cursed... The rest o the day is a blur I spent most of it like many others in the nation trying to call friend that live in NYC I got ahold of all but one eventualy... It still hurts when I remember him and to this day I see an airplane I think of him (which is a lot lately since I live in the flight path here *laughs*) has it really been 7 years already?

Boo's first day of school

So Big heading off to school! I'm gonna blink and he is gonna be off to college I think...

Such a Goofy boy this is what I got when I asked for a smileL wanted to go with his brother on the bus.
and cried for 15 min and stared out the window waiting for Boo to get home

So yesterday was Boos first day of Preschool this year and he was super excited His brother not so much when the Bus picked Boo up L thought he was goign too and threw a fit that he wasn't going. It wasn't like this last year... the poor kids cried for 15 min in absolute hysterics and then sat by the slideing glass door "reading" his curious George book waiting for Boo he'd sometime get up and mope around the apt but mostly just waited for Boo when Boo got home it was such a sweet reunion they were figting within the hour *laughs* Boo had a great first day and thinks he teacher is "So cool" today wasn't any easier than yesterday for L he has just stopped crying and is thankfully distracted by monsters inc.

MINE!


this is what greets me at every meal time she

practily snatches the bottle and begins gulping while having a death grip on the darn thing!

Pirates and tiggers



So L got his Halloween costume yesterday. He is Tigger this year well I wanted to make sure it fit him so i put him in it last night and it is perfect never have I seen a cuter Tigger. When I went to take it off him he threw a fit so he ended up sleeping in it, and is still in it. Boo was like this with his superman Costume. As for Boo all year he has said he wanted to be Super Why until the last month he picked up on my love for all things Pirate and while watching POTC 1,2, and 3 he grabed his sword and said "ARG I'm a pirate" he then wanted a hat like Wills in #3 the only thing I had was a Louis Vittion scarf but it works *Laughs* we will find a better one for Halloween though.

Teeth and sleep crawling

my life as I know it is over. the Princess has her first tooth (well it has broken the gums) AND she has mastered crawling. In her sleep. Yup not a typo. She sleep crawls. *laughs* she won't while she is awake but in her crib durring her nap she motors it is funny I am going to have to video that. Has anyone else heard of sleep crawling? I think that is the most bizarr thing any of my monsters has done. (keep in mind Boo is in a pirate phase and is wearing a Louis vuitton silk scarf on his head as a pirate bandana at them moment and Landon won't take off his tigger halloween coustume :P)

Just a few pics of the monsters

The Princess was just being so cute waving. She is getting so big. Can you beleive in a couple week she will be 8 months!
Have you ever seen this boy so serious? This look was a combo of being terrified of the rocker he was on and watching the Airplane fly past
My silly Boo playing on the dino watching his brother.
