No more sweets!

So today I went home for lunch to help David out with the kiddos, as he was playing Mr. Mom. I asked Jonah what he wanted for lunch and the conversation went like this:

Me: Jo, are you hungry?
Jonah: Nope (his new favorite word)
Me: Well, its lunch time. What do you want to eat?
Jonah: My sucker
Me: Sorry, no sucker. It's lunch time.
Jonah: Cake?
Me: How about noodles?
Jonah: Ice cream?
Me: You're getting noodles.

A little bit of ranting

Just had to get this off my chest.....New Moon Really Sucks!!

I'm not really sure why the whole world is so taken with the melodramatic phenomenon that is the Twi-dim saga. I read the first book and could hardly get through it due to the constant droning of a love-sick teenage girl who can't walk without tripping over her own feet and has no life ambitions, except to stare into the eyes of Edward Cullen. The movie is even more bland with Kristen Stewart's utterly mono-tone performance and Rob's constipated, love hurts, look. BARF! Its only redeeming quality is Jacob Black (Lautner), who I fully intended to hate given the interstellar hype of his ripped muscles. But, he actually turned in a good perfomance and his character was genuine and, okay I'll say it, dreamy.

I don't ever get to actually go to the movies, so I usually only see anything after it is released on DVD. I do have to say that I enjoyed Hellboy II and United States of Tara. Star Trek is likely the best movie I've seen all year. Still haven't seen Avatar yet, as I can't seem to convince my husband to go with me to the dang movie theater....ugh!

Jonah's 2nd Birthday Party

A couple of weekends ago we celebrated Jonah's 2nd birthday with a wonderful party in our backyard. We borrowed the jumpy house from my sister and gilled up a boat load of hot dogs. All the family and close friends showed up to enjoy the wonderful weather and run crazy. Jonah's favorite gift was probably his cozy coupe, it has a perfect spot to stow a cup cake.

How did this happen?

Holy cow, when did these kids get to be so big?

Pops and nancy bring the good stuff

This past weekend dad (pops) and his sweetheart came down to Austin for a visit. They brought some goodies for Valentines Day and Jonah decided that he LOVES chocolate.
Pops and Jo enjoying a sunny day (finally) at the Austin Nature Center. We come here nearly every weekend when the weather's nice. Mostly because its free and close by, but also because it gives Jonah a chance to run around like a wild indian and play in the dirt.

Here's Jonah doing his best to convince mommy that he needs more chocolate. I only gave in once gosh darn-it.

Pops goes a little crazy with the kisses. He just loves to slobber all over my kids, god bless him.

The Girls

This past weekend Kathleen flew in from Las Vegas to commence her wedding planning. We went dress shopping, tasted wedding cake, and met with the caterers. Its been a long time since we've all been together. From Left to Right: Caroline (neenie and bride's best friend), Jill (cousin and organizer extradinaire), Leah (Matron of Honor), Kathleen (Bride), Abby and Sadie (bride's maid and comic relief), Mom (mom)

Who knew that little sissy was such a show off! Here's some of her latest pictures and boy did we get some winners.
