Tragic News

Incase you haven't heard... our beloved friend... the pink and white frosted, sprinkled, animal shaped, fun to eat snack.... is no more. Mother's Cookies went out of business! Can you believe that!?!? I don't understand it! I'm angry inside! 

Say hello to the Hostess Powdered Raspberry Jelly Filled Donut and the Chocodile in Delicious Pastry Heaven for me! Dammit cruel world! WHY?!?

More on the R.O.U.S.

My good friend Nathan just shed some more light on the R.O.U.S. problem. Good find Nathan!

R.O.U.S. & JBX

So last night Amber wakes me up, it's like 4:00 a.m., and she's freaking out because she heard a noise. I listened and sure enough we could hear banging on our bedroom wall. So, I jumped out of bed and grabbed my gun, slipped on my flip-flops, grabbed a flashlight, and I was out the door. I hadn't seen a rodent this big since my mission to Argentina. The thing was mean and ugly, and it took about 5 shots to kill the freaking thing. Check it out!

Oh, speaking of rodents, Sam got a job at Jack In The Box. Check him out in his digs!

Kern County Fair 2008

Sep. 24, 2008~

This year I wanted so bad to go to the fair.  Andy hates the fair so even though that's were we officially started "going out" we've only been back once since we've been married.  So I was extremely grateful when my friend, Stephanie, offered to go with me.  We went early Wednesday morning which was perfect because we hit the "school days" offer of free parking and free admission.  We had such a great time!  We wandered around looking at all the booths and the animals.  We caught the tail end of a bird show which was really cute and we got to see a little calf that had just been delivered about 10 minutes before we got there. The friend that went with me also has two little kids the same ages as mine so everyone had a good time hanging out. 

 How adorable are these kids?  You might recognize Evelyn's little boyfriend, Brayden, from this post.  He was Evelyn's very first play date.  The two youngest, Preston and Sadie, were stroller buddies.  They were both totally content in their strollers and were great the whole time.

Pee Pee in the Potty!

Sep. 27, 2008~

I'll spare you guys most of the details and any pictures I might have taken but Evelyn went pee pee in the potty today.  I've tried on  several occasions to potty train her but I've really never given it my full attention like a good parent would.  Today she dressed herself but not before removing her diaper.  At lunch she had this sudden urge and quickly removed herself from the table.  She came back a few minutes later clapping for herself and automatically I knew what she had done.  Now before you say anything, I know all about what they say about rewarding your kids with food but this past week I've been trying to bride her with the one thing I knew she would cave for... Ice Cream.  So, she got her ice cream and she loved it.  She also celebrated afterwards by doing the "Pee pee in the Potty" dance with Mom and calling Dad on the phone to tell him the good news.  I guess she's potty training... AGAIN.

*UPDATE- Yesterday she went 5 times in the potty!  I figured I'd better not give her ice cream every time so we've switched to gold stars.  She seems to like them just as much and this way she won't get all crazy big and want sweets all the time when she's older.
