It’s been another “Why do I bother?” day. I have already recounted our first attempt at SoCal public transportation in a previous post, and I’m sorry to say that our second outing on a public bus was even worse.
The girls and I took an OCTA bus to Disneyland today. The trip there was [...]

My awesome mama turns 60 today. I love her more than I can say!
This is my mom when she was pregnant wth me. She was standing in the backyard of the house I grew up in. I had never seen this picture until last year; my aunt Janice had a copy of [...]
Blogging, 3GS Style
Posted in Uncategorized on June 20, 2009 | 2 Comments »
I thought I was very clever. I ordered a new iPhone 3GS right after they announced it, hoping to avoid the long lines. I have been waiting for this phone for awhile, as I never upgraded to the 3G and desperately wanted 32 GB of storage.
I was quite pleased with the UPS man [...]
Gah, I’m such a slacker!

I know I have been terrible about updating the blog, but there have been a ton of things going on!
First and foremost, we are in escrow on our first California house! I am almost afraid to give any details until escrow closes, but if all goes well, we’ll be living in Long Beach at [...]
A Big Day for Dad!

Yesterday marked the first time that the girls have watched Daddy on TV! (Although, honestly, I did have to fastforward through the bulk of it for them. They aren’t allowed to watch Daddy’s game yet!)
Todd represented his new game at Sony’s E3 press conference yesterday and we are very proud of him. [...]
IHOP

A few weeks ago, Todd took the girls on an excursion that did not include mom. (By choice.) He was craving pancakes.
Yesterday, Cara told me that she wanted waffles. She said, “Mama, can we go to the interFASHIONal pancake house?” (She’s such a girl.)
I said, “IHOP?”
She said, “Yes, you can hop there, [...]

Two years ago today, my baby was born!
AJ is now a big girl who loves Go Diego Go, food, and sucking anyone’s thumbs other than her own. Here she is at the little party we had on Saturday. Such a big girl!
Picking Strawberries from Someone Else’s Garden

Today my friend Amy and I took our kids to Underwood Family Farms in Moorpark for some strawberry picking. They also have a huge play area that the kids just adored. It was the perfect antidote to a Monday morning!
AJ’s strawberries went straight from hand to mouth:
Cara & the scarecrow:
My sweet baby:
The kids [...]

The girls have been having a great day! The Easter Bunny brought them baskets, we dyed eggs, and they had an egg hunt at Grandma and Grandaddy’s. We had lunch at Aunt Jules’, and now we’re home and tuckered out.
On another note, Todd and I saw Avenue Q yesterday at the [...]
Mmm…sauerkraut.

It’s almost summer, grilling has started, and no sausages would be complete without a big serving of sauerkraut! I made three jars of NT lacto-fermented kraut yesterday and can’t wait until it’s ready to eat!
The carraway seeds alone smell soooooooooooooo good.
I am hungry.
