Here is the latest picture from our baby/mommy get together with Ariana and friend Kristy Caver (Sundan). From left to right Amelia, Anders and James. There is a big difference from the last gathering in how they interact together. They also notice the camera now as well!

We had a great time at a holiday party that my friend Rachel and her husband Lenny put on a couple of weeks after Christmas. I figured it's about time to put up a currant picture of me and the hubby! Our 1 year anniversary is coming up next weekend... wow I just realized that it is actually NEXT weekend! We will most likely be leaving the beeba with my folks over night so we can get away somewhere not to far but far enough away. =)
Here is a picture that I took today. Anders is lying on the blanket that Auntie Erin and Uncle Jim made for him. Today was a pretty big day starting with Chris taking him to the church nursery while Grammy was at Bible study. She took him home to watch him while Chris and I worked. After I picked him up around 2:00 we went and visited a few people including my dad at his office. Anders hasn't had a good nap today and it's beginning to show! At the moment he is sitting in his "hop n' pop" and letting out burst of screams and spit bubbles.... hopefully this means that he'll go down easily at 7:00 so Chris and I can watch a movie tonight!
Last week Ariana, Kristy Caver and I decided to get together to chat and see how the babies react to each other. Actually I think that these pictures are from the last time we met but there should be one up from last week soon. They are getting more interested in each other as they get bigger but they are still just learning that they exist let alone OTHER babies! The top picture is Amelia, James and Anders. Below is a picture of the cousins (second cousins?) looking at Ariana.

Well, the time has come to blog again. I've been avoiding it for a few reasons; my camera is in Chris' car and we keep forgetting to bring it upstairs, I'm busy living and I have a hard time sitting down and writing about my life when I should be living it and lastly my mind is beginning to feel like mush from too much 24 and American Idol.
At the moment Chris has that bad cold/flu that has been going around lately. My sister Heidi and her family in Dallas are just getting over it and it seems like most people I talk to have had it. So far I've dodged it and Anders only has a slight cold but nothing too bad. Hopefully that's how it will stay!
Anders has been growing alot lately. He's eating three meals of veggies or fruit (compliments of Gerber) a day as well as his regular formula. This morning I felt something sharp on his bottom gum and I'm assuming that all the fussing and squirming is paying off. Thank goodness for teething tablets!
He has been a blast to play with as all of his light bulbs come on and he is really enjoying his world now. We'll be buying another piece of plastic in the form of a high chair within the next couple of days and it will add to the collection of bright un-breakable items that we are building piece by piece. Kind of like an art collection.... except alot less valuable and not as asthetic.
Chris and I are doing well. We are looking forward to going out to dinner tonight to celebrate our first Valentines as a married couple. We're dropping Anders off at the church nursery for two hours of free babysitting. =) It should be fun despite Chris' cold.
Happy Valentines Day everyone!

I was reading through some old blog entries and I came across this on and it amused me just as much as when it happened. What a crazy weekend! It dates back ot July 2005.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Today I was laughing to myself again over the abnormal circumstances of this past weekend. Starting on Friday, I had three tire blowouts in three days. Not from defective tires but from various pieces of metal picked up in different places.
Friday morning I happily began my day by going to my hair supply shop to pick up products and as I left I remembered that I had left my lunch at home so I ran back to get it. Then I realized that I had enough time to pickup a iced hazelnut latte before I had to be at work. It was one of those really productive feel good mornings that I live for. No sooner had I pulled out of the parking place at the coffee shop, I heard (or felt) the flop of a flat tire. I put on my hazards and made my way into the Chevron station. When I looked there was a large peice of metal sticking out.
I was a little bummed but it really didn't bother me too much. I sipped my coffee, called AAA and work and then waited. I was a half hour late to work but somehow it all worked out fine.
Saturday I got a new back left tire and then proceeded to drive to Santa Clarita to see "March of the Penguins" with my sister and family. Great movie and great company. That evening when I walked out to my car I saw that my front left tire was flat. This time a bolt.
Called AAA again and waited a good two hours to get the spare put back on. I ended up spending the night in Palmdale and getting my tire fixed the next day at Big O tires.
I was on my way home on the 60 freeway and BAM there went my THIRD tire, this time my back right tire had a large bolt sticking out of it.
One of my fears has been having a blowout on the freeway and it wasn't as scary as I thought.
I Called AAA again and found out I'd have to pay 45$ because I'd used up all my free tow truck visits. Oh well. It had to be done. About 10 min later a tow truck pulls up so I get out with my ID and AAA card in hand, and it turns out that this is a free service paid for by our tax dollors. They patrol the freeways and help stranded motorists. So, I didn't have to pay any money to have my spare put back on.
By this time I was giddy with the obsurdidy of the whole thing. I've NEVER had a blown tire in the 11 years since I've had my liscense.
Because of the intensity of the situation it almost seemed super natural and my big question was and is, what do you want to make of this God??? Is there a reason for this crazy weekend??
I know that It really was a bit of an adventure and I do now know alot more about tires than I did on Thursday.... Maybe that is the big meaning, or it could be that my tires were much hotter in the 100 degree heat that they couldn't deflect a silly thing like a bolt....Today I was laughing to myself again over the abnormal circumstances of this past weekend.
