My New Weapon...

That is a prank weapon. I mean, how many times can I throw flour on Phil in the shower and leave icy hot on the toilet seat before they get old. (Actually...it's funny everytime). I was at the bottom of the barrel of ideas and then...Chase starting teething and I got my hands on this numbing beauty. It worked perfectly on a piece of bread because of the red tint and jam like appearance. Girls...it's hilarious...and a must try!!!!

What the WHAT???

I'm from a beautiful western state where things like this don't happen. We call this a lock down. Seriously, we can't open our front storm door.
Backyard FULL size grill covered.

Me. Trying to get to the front door via another route. Still impossible.
Phil, attempting to shake down the car. He made it that far. Then stopped.

Chase enjoying the snow with daddy. Before things got bad.



PHOTO OP! First time in the snow :)



We were warned about this storm...which is why I attempted grocery shopping a couple days ago to stock up supplies. What I thought would be a quick trip to the store ended up being two hours. I waited in line to check out for an entire 45 minutes and made an emergency run to the baby aisle where I quickly got baby food and fed him his entire lunch while STILL waiting in line to buy our lunch we had already consumed :)

Let's go back to CALI!!

"mostly NAKED in 2010"

Here is a few pics to bring you up to speed.

Lost a business sock doing business.



Excuse me, I gotta take this call.



Your right, it does taste better with sticks.
and a straw.






Some people use their tails to make sharp turns, I use my tongue.

Christmas List

Christmas wishes.

So. Mel said we should go Christmas shopping this morning, so I started thinking of things I could get her.
Here are a few of my ideas.Christmas List: new door handle.

Here is an idea I had yesterday while in the shower. It just hit me like inspiration.


Christmas list: New toilet lid.

Here is a gift idea I had the other day in the drive way. You never know when inspiration will come, you just have to be in tune, you know. Christmas list: New bumper.

I know its the bumper, but I think that name is a little confusing. I think we should call it the "don't bump her".

I am not sure who's name is on this next present.

Christmas list: New boat battery

Thank you for the tow, and a Merry Christmas to you.

And here is a gift we gave a little early to this dude while he was cutting across someones lawn.


The Christmas shopping season is early so let us hear your ideas so we can start planning our Thanksgiving Day Sales.

Standing Strong.

Chase is loving his two feet and looks for any mid-size object to use as support to pull himself up on his feet. As much as it'll be such an amazing moment to see him walk...I'm not ready to say goodbye to my little crawling baby.

*Several people have asked me if I really decorated for Christmas already...my answer is yes. I was trying to beat Sara Darby this year since she's the queen of everything that is associated with Christmas. Jokes. We are leaving for the holidays around the 15th of December so I thought I should start early this year so I can enjoy my 12...yes I did say 12 nativity scenes before I take off.

What would it be like...

to fit through a doggie door???? Phil and I looked away for a couple minutes this morning and next thing you know, Chase discovered an exit out of the house and was half way through. Fast forward to later today...Phil was outside and I was organizing the Baby closet (an endless task) and all of a sudden...I run outside and find Chase laying on the cement after crawling through the dog door and falling down the deck stairs. I did the only proper motherly thing and freaked out even though he hardly had a scratch.







Chase LOVES the water facet.

Request granted...

As per my mother's request, here are some more pictures of Chase.
