He Came Back!

Max's teddy bear went away for a few days to play with the turkeys in the trees.  Max was so excited when he came back home this evening.

"Mama, dada, look! He came back. He came back to us!"

I'm back at the blog...

I realized that I miss the blog.  Yes, Facebook has been great, but I'm ready to blog again.

So, in honor of the return, I'm going to post some of my favorite finds from my internet browsing:

1.  Kimono Quilt from Overstock.com

2.  Eddie Bauer tops and trouser jeans

I almost placed an order for $150 the other day, which included a 20% off code I found online, but I resisted. 

3.  Martha Stewart's craftiness

4.  Looking for a cute bedspread for Max's room.  Got a robot one at Target, but it was missing the sheets & pillowcase, so we returned it.  Loving The Land of Nod.  Oh, my...I could go crazy here.

  5. Just bought this cute tall clip at Kohl's.

Peace out, peeps.  Night!

Long time no see...

Thought I'd add some photos since I haven't posted here in like almost forever.

Some highlights:

My sister got married.

 

Max loves chocolate.

We had our annual Lockerby family picnic.

Max had fun playing and being silly.

 
   

Blog...I've missed you.

I haven't been on here in ages....so soddy.

Some random comments from my head today:

• Ray LaMontagne is awesome.
• I'm missing Max.  He's at the beach with my dad and my two aunts.
• Laundry kinda sucks.
• I wish I could live by the motto: "A place for everything and everything in it's place."
• I need some upbeat music to listen to today...so I change my first comment to, "Ray LaMontagne is awesome when you want to listen to mellow music."
• Angel of Harlem, oh how I love thee.
• Smoothies with orange juice, orange sherbert, strawberries and watermelon make me happy.
• I get to hang out with all my crafty friends in 2 weeks! Yes-it!
• I want to decorate the house all cute for the fall.  I feel a trip to HomeGoods coming on...
• I wish I had time to flat-iron my hair everyday.
• Peach is a really barfy color.
• I love new sheets...especially flannel sheets when the weather is changing.
• My nail on my middle finger broke, so it's a lot shorter than the rest.  Xuxas.

Ciao, freaks! :-)

Max went to the movies!

Max's first trip to the movies was actually pretty good.  Well, pretty good for a 26 month old!  We saw "Up" and he actually sat through about 2/3rds of the movie.  The last 1/3 was spent wiping off ice cream and Red Vines from his face and taking a walk down CV Blvd.  "This way, mama! This way!"

Waiting For Dada...

Like Brother, Like Brother

Matthew and Max were so cute sitting on the couch eating ice cream.  Max copies his big brother so much and Matthew is great with his little brother.

Max's 2nd Birthday!

I was amazed at how much Max has changed in just one year.

 

Spring Cleaning

Luis and I were both in a cleaning mood today.  Our house needed it SUPER badly.  We re-arranged some furniture (moved the computer area from the kitchen/living room to the family room and moved a dresser that was too big for the master bedroom into Max's room).

It feels good to have a new spot for the computer.  Yay!
