Getting Bigger

I took this picture yesterday to document just how big Tru is getting. He definitely looks like a little boy now and not a baby. Too bad I also documented the "Pajama Jean's" commercial in the background. Hopefully it doesn't overshadow my handsome boy.

Merry Christmas!!

Happy Kid. Happy Family. Merry Christmas to one and all!

Get out and VOTE!

Halloween 2010

We went with a fantasy theme this year. Truman was the Dragon and protector of his Princess Mommy, and Marc was supposed to look like the wise wizard, but he turned out to look pretty freaky, though his "Snuggie" robe softens him up a bit. We always like to dress up in theme if we can. And no, I did not make Truman's costume. I wish I was that talented. The dragon is courtesy of Old Navy, and we picked up my dress from the D.I. We just added a few accessories and I think it came together pretty well. Happy Halloween everyone!

Just my size

This was too cute not to share. He sat in there all night and watched tv. What a kid.

All right, already!

Yes, it has been forever since I updated. It's been a fun summer, not that I have any pictures to prove it. You'll just have to trust me. The fall season is always a busy time in our house. We celebrated Marc's birthday at the end of September and Truman's birthday just a few days ago. My baby is 2 years old! and what a great two years it has been (minus that rocky first two months). Truman is just as sweet as ever. He is a very sensitive and loving boy who just melts your heart with every smile. Here are a few pics of the celebrations.


Marc's birthday cake. The "1" candle is all we had. So Marc, you are number the # 1..... DAD!!, yea that works.


Trumie's birthday cupcakes. They were delish!


Not sure about the lit candles


Yeah, he really didn't like the lit candles. This picture was taken right before the full on meltdown.


Present time! This was much less stressful




An overview of the haul: One puzzle, two potty books, a case full of twelve mini board books, and one Yo Gabba Gabba DVD (which we have already watched 200 times since Thursday), just kidding, it just seems like it. We love you Truman!!!

Lagoon Day

Last Saturday was the annual company Lagoon day for Del Sol. As always, a good time was had by all. We enjoyed good food, good company, good weather and even won a prize from the raffle. It was actually my ticket that won. We got an awesome Cuisinart Ice Cream Maker that whips up a quart of ice cream in about a half an hour. Of course we had to try it out promptly, so yesterday we made up a batch of mango ice cream. It was delish! This is actually the second time in my life I have won an ice cream maker. When I was five (or six) years old, I won one of those that uses the ice and rock salt from a contest at a local bank. I am so excited to whip up all sorts of ice cream flavors this summer. Well enough about me, Here are some pics from our fun day at Lagoon

What a couple of handsome boys



A classic Truman face

Me and Tru on the Carousel. He had fun rocking back and forth on that little bear and pointing at Daddy taking pictures
