Today is a lot like yesterday..

But, not much like the days before.



Today, we:

• got up because the birds were tweeting, and the sun was shinning


• watched Incredibles (again)


• went for a walk with the dog in the perfect weather


• stopped at the park on the way home


• sat in the shade


• ate lunch in the kitchen


• took naps


• taught piano lessons for my mom


• made dinner


• dinked around


• took a bath in Grandma's ginormous bath tub


• read Corduroy


• said prayers


• cried because Daddy's not here for "Daddy hugs"


• went to bed

Sembrado street, you are so different from Halsey.

This summer will have hot dogs, hamburgers...

...and just one bun. Baking until August 2010.

Sorry if you asked me, and I lied. (kinda)

Sea World

It was fabulous, all day fun.

Don't you just love this? See the beluga whales?
Jared fed the flamingos. I didn't know flamingos would eat out of your hands..

Fatty McFatterson

Does anyone else feel like a fatty after a solid month of eating? lol.

I'm sitting here, looking at our Christmas tree, feeling sad, and wondering how much longer I can leave it up before people start looking at me weird..
I LOVE my husband for being brave and taking time out of his busy studying to put Christmas lights on our roof. He was hanging off the side of the roof at one point. Ignore the hanging off 0 in "109"
The Eagers hosted a wonderful Christmas party. We were so excited we showed up a half hour early. No, really we were just confused. Here's our gingerbread house..
We spent Christmas and new years in California, during which I took this many pictures: 0. Except the ones at Sea world, which I decided are for a different post. We took lots of videos tho, someday someone will enjoy those (maybe?).

It was fabulous tho. We played games till we could no longer stand the sight of wheat, bricks and sheep. We ate, and ate, and ate, opened presents (all wonderful), and then ate some more. Chandler and Ghrendal (my mom's dog) are now fabulous friends, and all we want is a puppy friend of our own. Then we drove 20 hours to our home in Portland, and we're tying to readjust to life without all the people.

2009 flew by, I wonder what 2010 will bring us.

Happy New Year!

Life's been busy..

But we like it that way. :-)

Thanksgiving was... well, if you want to know, go ahead and ask me.

Our Christmas tree was $10 from the cub scouts and it is AWESOME. Don't tell my mom, she gets jealous when hearing about any advantages of living in the northwest. Christmas trees in California start at $80 for little trees. Chandler LOVES the tree, I don't know where he gets that. Currently, I can't find our camera (arg) so I can't take a picture of it.

Chandler is a genius. Okay, probably not. But he knows his letters (O, S, X, A, B; the easy ones), shapes and will spit out an occasional sentence.

The Gala was fun. Good thing I stole these pictures from Julie because we couldn't find our camera. It was on top for the fridge. It's fun to get dressed up and go somewhere every once and a while; even if we don't like to dance. The food was fantastic, but Brandon spent the rest of the night saying, "Can we get pancakes after?" I guess it wasn't enough food. And, yes, we had pancakes.

Danny is my hero! Since Brandon never seems sufficiently amazed by the transformations, I will show you and you can leave appropriate "holy crap" comments.

430 pounds

Stupid NBC.com wont let me steal their pictures... weird.

Look here @ 191 pounds!!

Common.. that's amazing. I can't even say how much younger he looks because he looks like an entirely different person. Congratulations Danny!

California, here we come. Only a week left, and I feel like there's still a lot to do, but we are excited none the less. Brandon will be driving down after finals next week.

FINALS. Brandon is a studying machine, and we are so proud.

Oh, PS: I made Brandon get up on the roof and put up Christmas lights, and I love them. I will try to post a picture later.

Christmas!

I wish I had something interesting to say..

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

I promise, you've never seen anything quite like these..

They're not real people. Seriously.
