All about me...

I Love, Love, LOVE taking pictures. Unfortunately (or fortunately...depending on who you are and how much you love the girl), Miss Fabulous is usually my only subject...well, her and nature that is. Wow...that sentence was terrible. Oh well. Anyway. I love taking pictures and my friends have asked me to take some family pictures for them which means...I get to take MORE PICTURES!!! Bwahahahaha! (there was a lightening flash in there somewhere)
Whew. So after I get done maybe I'll post a few if they don't mind.
While I'm on the subject of me, as if I'm ever on any other subject, I'll tell you some other things I love...
As most of you normal readers (as opposed to ab-normal readers?) know I love to paint. I still do but since MF decided to amputate the brush end of my all my good brushes with her super blunt scissors, the painting is totally on hold until I raise some extra fundage. Get that? Big bummer for me. Totally.
Okay. I love to read a good book. I dislike reading a bad book. Sometimes my hands don't know the difference until I get home from the library and start digesting them but it all comes out in the wash. Whatever. Anyhow, I just read Island of the Blue Dolphins by so and so (I'm terrible at names and am lucky I remembered the title) and it was a GREAT book. I loved it. Interesting and based on a true story.
I love to complete a sewing project. No, I did not say I love to sew. The "unpleasant words" come out when I sew. I do a relatively decent job (my mom would laugh...she's amazing at sewing and is a bit...hehehe...of a perfectionist in that area) but get frustrated easily. I do LOVE to complete a project though and work best with an impending deadline. And don't ask me to sew anything for you because you may never see it finished. Just a heads up.
I love electronic gadgets. Not to say I'm good at working them or fixing them or any of that, but they are sure fascinating!
I love Office supplies. Rarely do I need them but I...must...have...my...(fill in the name of any office supply or even art supply).
I love cooking. LOVE IT! I wish I had unlimited resources on foods to work with so I could try new recipes all the time. I have had my share of failures but the successes are oh, so tasty!
I love blogs. I'm not very good at posting often. About twice a week is about all I can muster. But I love to read what my family and friends are doing and keep up on the every day adventures of the the people whom I have never met and probably never will. I also love comments. (no, really, I LOVE comments! I'm just not so good at commenting. Yes, its a double standard and I'm unfair like that.)
Most of all I LOVE my family. I mean, who can help but love them? MF is too cute (even when she IS sassy) and thinks she's soooo grown up but also thinks that at some point she will grow into a baby again (weirdo). And John can do anything, can be so sweet (when he feels like it, gosh!), and can fix ANYTHING...even if it IS just a corroded wire. hehehe.
What do you love, love, LOVE?

Baby Madelyn! Who does not love a new baby! Baby's can do no wrong, can not back talk, and are so sweet to cuddle with! I fell asleep when you left last night, and woke up at 4am in the same position with Madelyn! Even when you are tired and in pain from natural child birth it is so worth is for a new baby!

Hey girl!

I see you have a bloglist too! I JUST added mine and saw that you were the first to update your blog.

Okay, did it not totally SUCK to add all the names to your bloglist? And I have stinkin' 52 names! Of course I didn't know that until my bloglist told me so.

I love your blogs! I SO love that you call your daughter Miss Fabulous! I get a kick out of it all the time. Sometimes I call Courtney that. But mostly I call her "Miss Thang". I bet your daughter and mine would be the best of friends....or the worst of enemies! Kidding. Courtney loves being fabulous and I think MF and her would just add that much more fabulousness to each other.

I LOVE my husband, my boys and my baby girl!
I also love cooking, reading, blogging, photography and so much more.
Scott O'Dell wrote a sequel to Island of the Blue Dolphins. Its called Zia.
I love reading Newberry Award Winners. There are a lot of lame books out there, (some Newberry ones are lame too, but most are good) so it can be hard to find a good book sometimes. When I am in doubt I usually try for a Newberry Award winning Author or Newberry Honor book.

Reverting Back

In 2006, we moved to Hawaii.  I started this blog that year.  I blogged as an outlet and a way to keep in touch with my family across an ocean.  It was far simpler than sending out individual or group emails loaded with as many pictures as emails would allow back then.  I might even still have copies of those emails, tucked away in some folder somewhere.  Blogging became a way for me to make friends, or feel like I had made friends.  I followed other blogs and, occasionally commented...but I’d say odd things.  Not on purpose. The comments make perfect sense to me, because they are coming out of my head and there is a thought pattern or connection.  People that know me would be able to make the connection.  Other bloggers...other people, they don’t know me.  They didn’t know me.  I was just the weirdo making odd comments on a random post.  I lived for comments on mine.  Usually it was my mom, she never missed a post and oft...

Summer Fade

 Summer is drawing to an end. We have traveled to AZ and UT. Played far too many video games and watched entirely too much TV. Workbooks were provided by myself with incentive to anyone who finished would get a large prize...no takers. No mom school this year...that may be a thing of the past with all these kids growing up.  John announced his retirement for next year and we are on the hunt for a place to finally settle into for next year. Nearer to family sounds great. New England has a lot to offer too. Our money will stretch a lot farther in a LCOL area like Iowa or Ohio. We do love being near the ocean or water and did love Alaska. This is going to be harder than I thought. The kids are going back to school and, since we live in SoCal now, we will continue to experience summer. I'm still not sure what MissFab is doing this year. Star started her Sophomore year of high school and she is nearly a week in. She has changed her schedule and is already ready to be done with scho...

Nearly 5 weeks...

I've been told I need to update the blog so here are several pictures of little Star. She is now just over 11 lbs. and just shy of 23" long. She is just a bit big. Miss Fabulous was nearly 4 months old before she got as big as our Star! She is fun and really cuddly. She really loves to eat (thus the big size!) and sleep but seems to be wanting to be on the move. John has dubbed her "Scooter" because she is never where we put her. She rolled over from her back to her tummy the other day! Still not great at night...sometime she just wants to be awake, but last night she slept 7 hours straight and I'm hoping its the beginning of a trend! Miss Fabulous just LOVES her little sister and is always trying to help. MF is doing a little better in school with a lot of help from her teacher and some from us at home. We are starting her in a program at school where they help children deal with transition, which seems to be the biggest part of her problem. The progr...
