Julean's Birthday Visit

Sunday Eric wanted to see Julean for his birthday so he called us to arrange a visit. Jamie has been really reasonable in allowing us to see him even though Eric has not seen him that often. We had a very nice day. I was beautiful outside.

Happy 3rd birthday Julean!

Saturday after the tsunami

Saturday we had intended to work on the garage. I gave Tex a gift certificate from Lowe's for Christmas to organize his stuff and we were finally going to get started. After the news of the Earthquake in Chile and the threat of the tsunami I was glue to the TV to make sure dad and Sue would be alright. The anticipation was heart wrenching. No destructive waves came in so we began to get to work.

Notice Garrett is working and Tex is reading the directions.

Look mom, Tex is holding the flashlight...(inside joke!)

My All Star!

Look out Lebron!

The Formerlly Parklane Party

So I have been gone from Parklane for over 6 years now. After staying in touch with many of my friends that I met at Parklane I thought, how fun would it be to have a get together with everyone who was either fired or quit Parklane. Since I had been talking about it for years I thought it was about time.

Another one of my girlfriends, Sheree and I have been to a few functions where we had food from Kanak Attack. Kanak Attack is a Hawaiian restaurant, they have pulled pork, teryaki chicken, and many, many other dishes. I have always made the comment that I wanted to have them cater a party. So, I decided that this would be the party. As you saw from a previous blog Sheree and I went there for lunch and it was so good. It was so good that she called me at 615 the night of the party to see if the food had arrived yet! You gotta love her!

Many of our old friends came to catch up! Barry, Donna, Sandra, Anna, Angee, Chris, Marta, Amy, Jamie, Tammy, and myself. There were many spouses along for the ride. Some new and some old. Many more kids than the last time we met. There were a few that have moved on and were missed! Unfortunately my camera did not get a great group shot so I will have to wait for Angee to post hers so I can steel it.

"The Log"...

This story is so funny I could not hesitate in sharing it! Today, Tristan and I had a bath. As the daily ritual repeated it self, I wrapped up Tristan in the "monster" towel that Brittles got him for his birthday, sat him in my chair and let him watch a few cartoon while I got ready. As I was drying my hair Tristan came in and open the bathroom door. He then pointed at his little potty. Since we are just getting ready to do the three day potty training next weekend I thought I would ask him if he had to go potty. Tristan walked into the other room and pointed at the floor. Much to my surprise, there lay a Tristan size poop. I could not believe it. I know it sounds gross but it was so damn funny I could not quit laughing! One of the things the potty book says is not to get upset with him so I went and grabbed some TP and said let's put the poop in the potty, reassuring him that he did nothing wrong. He ran behind Tex's chair. I kept asking him if he wanted to flush his poop. He would not come out. So I went over to tell him it was ok and there was the rest of the poop. Thank God it was not runny!

P.S. I purposefully did not take pictures for all of you but I am sure you could imagine it!

Ono Cafe and Hanna's Basketball Game

Today Sheree and I went to lunch at the One Cafe, aka Kanack Attack. I am hosting a party Friday night at the clubhouse known as The Formerly Parklane Party. This party is to allow everyone who has quite or been fired from Parklane to get together and catch up. We have been talking about it for years and we just haven't got it done. So, leave it to me to get it done! I am planning on having the party catered by the Ono Cafe. Lunch was divine and I can not wait for the party!


Later that afternoon Hanna had a basketball game so Tristan and I were off to that. We met Tex there after work. This is the first Basketball game that I have seen Hanna play and I can tell you that girl can hustle. To no surprise of most of you I'm sure! They ended up winning but in one of the last plays a girl stepped on Hanna's arm and she sprained her wrist. I am sure it is not too bad.

Counting Lessons

Tonight while I was cooking dinner Tex and Tristan were at the table working on their counting. It was so cute. He is such a great dad!

Cool Dude

Monday Tex got home from work and Tristan would hardly let him in the door before he made him sit down. He wanted to wear all of Tex's things. Julie snapped these photo's with her phone.

Welcome to the world of Hot Wheels

Today I pulled out the Hot Wheel track for Tristan. He absolutely loved it! He thought it was the coolest thing... until brother came down and took it over!

I don't know what Tex would do if TJ did not like Hot Wheels!
