XOXOXOXO

Hi!

Remember me? Oh, what a slacker I am. I have been totally uninterested in blogging lately, and then tonight I started making designs for it and decided to say hello. There are the things that have happened in the last few months:

- My Mom had ovarian cancer and thyroid cancer and had then both removed, and miraculously didn't need any
further treatment than the surgeries (thus far)...! Can you say blessed? It's a much more detailed story and a long emotional journey than I'm making it sound, but if you don't already know it, it'll give you a good reason to call or email me!

- Jake is back in school.

- Betsy is getting her molars.

- Lily has her first crush(s).

- I'm forever doing Weight Watchers.

- Lily wants to start Karate (?)

- Betsy had her first ear infection.

- It rained. A LOT!

- LOST started again. (sigh!)

- We are still happy here in CA.

     -Come Visit!-


Until next time,

Merry Christmas!

They're both good! :-)

Princess Lily is 4!

Lily turned 4 this last Tuesday. I can't believe she's already this old! She is really into princesses and all things girly, so this Birthday her Aunt Jessica and Uncle Eric came down and went to Disneyland with us. Lily got a Belle dress and accessories for her birthday and so we took some pics in her dress all dolled up by her castle. ) For dinner we went over to Califonia Adventure and had dinner at "Ariel's Grotto". It's a bit pricey, but well worth it. It's a little girl's dream come true! They serve a 3-course meal and all of the princesses come and mingle and take pictures at your table! Lily could not believe it! Her excitement was worth every penny. Her Grandma and Grandpa Lamph bought her an annual pass, which means I can stop sneaking her in under a blanket in the stroller pretending she's asleep....! :-) Today we had a little princess tea party with some little friends from school and church. I'll post those pics later.

Betsy turns 1!

Wow, I cannot believe it's been a whole year! It's been a crazy year for us, so I think that made it whiz by even faster. We had a low key party for her a few days after her actual Birthday because she woke up sick on her Birthday. Sad, I know. :-( She had fun stuffing her mouth with cake though! And she loved the shoes, and dollies she got and the blanket her Grandma made! I finally got around to taking her 1-year pictures the other day, so here are a few!

Happy Halloween!

THRILL THE WORLD!!

Alright, are you an MJ fan? (Michael Jackson, for the lame people). Then listen up! I was downloading some Halloween music for my kids and starting listening to "Thriller". I thought to myself, "its about time I learn the dance! I bet I can find it on Youtube". So I looked it up and found this whole crazy "Thriller" world. Apparently they have an organization that organizes events to set the Guinness Book of world records for the amount of people doing the Thriller dance at the same time! I'm in love, and I'm soooooo doing this! There is a tutorial on Youtube that breaks it down into very easy steps and you can repeat it over and over as many times as you want until you get it. I've spent 2 hours tonight learning it and getting a good workout too! It's not hard, but the repetition makes you sweat. I WILL get it perfect so that on Saturday, October. 24th, 2009 at 5:30pm I can show off my Thriller moves with a bunch of zombies, and you should too! Who is in?? If you're in California, email me so we can go together. They do it all over the world and all over the US, so you can for sure find an event near you. Go to the website to get all the info and then go to this Youtube link and get learning! If you can't make it to an event, then at least get some friends together, learn it and do it at the designated time. You can go to their website and find the right time for your time zone, and you can even sign up to host the event in your area.  Comment if you're in. Let's make Michael proud.
