in the happy place

just saying hello! thought maybe I can stir up some controversy or at least joke around. :) though I doubt my blog is going to get that much attention.

we are in tomorrow land but we are probably going to go to splash mountain after this because its hot. having a blast just incase you wondered

I love you

These have been the best two years of my life. I can't wait to celebrate this weekend.

Let's vote!

Our second anniversary is this tuesday. So Russell and I are celebrating but we can't decide what to do. Our first anniversary was celebrated with a 3 day old infant, us finally out of the hospital, and going to sunday brunch at the Queen Mary. (Which was very nice.) But this anniversary we plan on doing something really nice on our own. Without me draped under a baby blanket trying to nurse a baby and more worried about our smallest bundle then celebrating our union. So we are defiantly leaving the slightly larger bundle and Grandna's.

So here is the thing. I really wanted to go to Catalina Island for the day but I found out that a round trip boat ride to Catalina per person is $66.50. Then I thought that a disneyland ticket is $66, 50 cents cheaper!

Here is where the problem starts. We start to get really excitted about going to disneyland. Russell and I have been tempting ourselves by talking about season passes but haven't actually got all the funds together yet. So it starts off well a one park ticket is only $66 and for only $25 dollars more we have a hopper ticket at $91. And we can actually go for two days with a hopper ticket for $132. And that is only $41 for a whole extra day and then we can bring the baby on the 2nd day. Plus it's a weekend and we want to be able to see as much as we can. So this way we can totally do it all on a 2 day pass. But then we are spending $264. And the first annual pass is only $318. And that is practically enough for a annual pass. So shouldn't we save the money for a season pass and not spend it all right now? So we are back at square one....."Honey, what do you want to do for our anniversary?"

What do you think?

Penelope's 1st birthday

A little bit of the celebration...

Well my friend is a way better mom then I am and already has pictures of Penelope's birthday party up on her blog. Me on the other hand spend all day yesterday in my p.j.'s totally laying around and am currently at work so I am unable to get to the pictures to upload them. More will come soon, but until then here are Rose's.

Am I going overboard?

I am starting to feel the pressure. My only daughter is turning one and her party is this saturday. Beside the fact that there is a lot of out of town family in town. I am recklessly trying to get it all together. Maybe a little overboard, but I'm not doing it for every party. I'm just going to do it for big one's. You know, like when she turns 10 or 16?

I made a rather large poster. The kinds that kids can stick their heads in and it has another body attached. It is so cute. I'm doing it with minnie and mickey mouse. I'm making signs for the games. I'm doing bob for apples, water balloon toss, and a potato sack race. Then I'm making these cupcakes from this book I bought a while ago.

I'm not making food for the party. I'm buying it, so that isn't so bad. And it's not at my place, so I don't have to worry about having a perfect house.

Now the only problem is if it goes down as perfectly as it looks in my head.
