Friends from Utah!

Two weeks ago our good friends Brian and Corinne from Utah came to visit. We hung out. Went to Sea World, where I did not know they had little kid rides, so fun. My sister Lori came too. We also spent a day at the Beach with them, digging in the sand, running in the surf and building a fire for 'smores!! (my favorite part). Their daughter, Whitney is just a month older than Damen, they became quick friends. They also have a 10 month old little cutey, Westin. It was so much fun to catch up, wish they lived closer!

Trains Trains Trains

Yesterday Lori and I took Damen to the Train museum in Perris, did you know it's FREE?? Yup, all day all year long, it's free. They don't run the trains except on Sat/Sun and it costs money to ride on them, but the rest of the place is FREE. Ok, so it was pretty much dead but we did find some nice man to show us around and let us on some of the trains, unfortunately Damen was terrified of getting on them and refused to even come close to going inside of them. After an hour we decided to go and of course Damen broke down screaming saying that he wanted to go to the museum. I don't think he realized that we were at one! My goal there was to get some good pictures of him, since we haven't taken him to Sears for his three year pics, it didn't work out like I'd hoped though, my camera died and Damen was scared of the trains anyway. Here's what we got picture wise:

Here's your sign!

I'm so sick of people! WHY do people marry when they don't really intend to spend the rest of their lives, let alone eternty, together? WHY to women have children when they don't really want to be mohters?? Doesn't anyone in this world care about anyone elses' feelings/lives??? AM I CRAZY here? I just had to vent, I'm seriously fed up with stupid people and the effects they have on others. As Bill Engval states, stupid people should have to wear signs so we know who they are, I think selfish people should also have to, so we know.

Crafty me

So we needed an organizational fix for our Breakfast Bar area, it is constantly clogged with papers/mail/wallet/phone, stuff! Lori gave me the great idea to put a large narrow box, like a flower box, there with compartments. So I made one.



After it was all put together I burned in this pretty pattern.




Then I put this stain on it, which I'm not thrilled about, but it's too late now, and it is a functioning organizing box. TA DA!

LOVE those legos

SUCH concentration!


Went to LEGOLAND again! We took Lori this time though, she's never been, we had loads of fun! Damen loved this big slide, we went on it over and over and over again, watch how he catches air!

Fears

For some reason I am less afraid of having, say triplets than I am of having none, I'll focus on the least fearful of possibilities.

A rose by any other name. . .

Damen has decided to change my name, well title really. Apparently "Mommy" just doesn't have enough excitement in it for him. He now refers to me, mostly, as "Space Ranger." Sounds way better.

(Just this morning he changed it to "Teen Titan", I can't keep up!)
