Sweetheart!

Quote of the week:

After I referred to J's friend Lola as his "sweetheart", I was sternly corrected. J's outraged response: "Daaad! Lola isn't my sweetheart! She's my girlfriend!"
Ahmm... I stand corrected.

-P

Countdown...

1. 2 more days to go before J turns 5!
2. 3 more days to go before the Pastoria's are in town
3. 4 more days to go before Grandma J comes in town
4. 5 more days to go before Lola T celebrates her 56th Bday!
5. probably 2-5 more days before J loses another tooth.

Weather

I had to reschedule J's 5th bday party this week. Initially, we are planning on having it on Sunday but then after seeing the weather forecast last night I had to change our plans and decided to move it this coming Friday instead. I spent the morning calling his friends regarding the changes and fortunately they are able to come so that is good. We'll have another party for the family on Sunday still but at least I don't have to worry about the looming possibility of bad weather.

I can't believe how weird our weather has been, we've had so much rain and gray days lately and not much sun! I am fine with it but I didn't expect that it will interfere with our plans of an outdoor party. We've always had outdoor party for J and never had an issue with the weather, guess now I can't be too complacent and trusting of the weather anymore...tsk tsk there you go weather you've lost my trust! :)

I can't wait to see the boys, Sue and Mom - yipee! Three more days to go!

What's up?

While I have been lame with updating the blog, I have been really busy organizing,cleaning,planning and running around too. Our house is a bit in better shape, it finally got it's long due - spring cleaning! There is still lack of furniture and accessories but at least it is dust free and organized - for now! Our walls are still void of anything including color - ha ha! I'll get to it eventually.

Anyway, we're anxious and excited to see Mom, John, Sue and the boys soon. J has been really looking forward to it and almost doesn't even think about his upcoming birthday. I can't believe he is now 5! I was browsing through several old photos and videos of him the other day and didn't realize I spent a good 2 hour doing just that. That is how I chill or rest sometimes. It's just nice to look back on how much he's grown. My favorite milestone at this point is his improved reading. It's nice to have him read to me now and then, I can't remember the last time somebody ever read to me...it is a nice treat and he enjoys it as well.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then

a shirt is worth a few too. Just props to J.

My life has changed ever since I received my "More Cowbell" shirt. From Portland to Waikiki, there is not a time and place that I have worn that shirt in public that I didn't get at least 1 comment. This weekend was the ultimate as the local mall was graced with my presence for the first time in 3 years. In that visit, I got 3 direct hey dude comments. One where a guy at the register would not leave it alone to where while leaving, he was shouting at me "I got a fevahhhhhh".

I haven't tested the second amendment shirt, but I think most people won't get it. I'll test it when I go looking for my next bang-stick! Speakin' of, I still gotta try out the ol' black-powder 0.44. I'll post a video when I do.

messy grin!

up close and personal!

One down...

and 3 more Central Incisors to go. J did lose his first tooth on Sunday morning. He woke me up at around 5:30AM to tell me that his tooth fell off while he was sleeping. He was worried that it might get lost if we don't find it. He forgot to put it under his pillow Sunday night and instead did it last night. He got $1 from the tooth fairy this morning and is quite pleased. The other lower central incisor is quite lose now too, so guess we might lose another one within the month. I still can't believe he is losing his tooth this early.
