It was at a train park where they had an actual train that would take you around the property. As we are getting ready to eat here comes the birthday boy on a tiny little thomas train on the track - so cute. So of course Murphy had to take a turn - though he was actually too big for the battery to make it run, but he had just as much fun just sitting on it. When he got off of it and more little kids took a turn he turns to me and says "I AM TOO BIG FOR THAT TRAIN BECAUSE I'M FOUR"!<br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-82779625554933347022009-06-15T15:36:00.000-07:002009-06-15T15:40:36.176-07:00Kickball Anyone????<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRQzah3zeyKa2CGyFDzgikg2uT5M8SkiOvGUPdri7ikuWwkn4Li9b-zqM0q0tF8GQE75-jLA2hU9JrhueycVXboCRu6CqSon-8QKEM4ow3m-1fKfTWzsNP1VNUP6-Oyi09otcSDrXTng5/s1600-h/images_kickball.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 400px; height: 310px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjRQzah3zeyKa2CGyFDzgikg2uT5M8SkiOvGUPdri7ikuWwkn4Li9b-zqM0q0tF8GQE75-jLA2hU9JrhueycVXboCRu6CqSon-8QKEM4ow3m-1fKfTWzsNP1VNUP6-Oyi09otcSDrXTng5/s400/images_kickball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5347687840772026674" border="0" /></a>Registration is open for our team "the pink flaming-bongs"...let me know if you want to join!

We took Murphy on the Polar Express train ride a couple of weeks ago and as part of the experience Santa boards the train and gives each child a bell from one of the reindeer's harness - just like the story in the book goes. After this an elf comes by to tell each one which reindeer their bell came from. So they were walking through the train car telling the kid two seats down that his bell came from Blitzen and the next that his came from Donner and she turned to Murphy and told him that his bell was from Rudolph. He turned to me with the biggest eyes and says, "he's real?"<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">Christmas Magic.

CRAZY!<br /><br />As I lay down on the table to get my brows whipped into shape, the lady hands me a kleenex saying, (heavy Persian accent) "this is for you!". I asked her if I was going to cry and she told "you may!". And I did. <br /><br />But it was so worth it! What is it about having clean brows that just boosts your confidence level???<br /><br />The funny thing was after we were done was when the lady asked me what my name was and if this was my first time - so the conversation I thought we would have instead of the "you here for BIKINI wax"!?Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-19387642278613852822008-09-29T10:15:00.000-07:002008-09-29T10:20:51.833-07:00Halloween is coming...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_VCcQrXa2895cM4O7JfbkRxmmb-vkLBJKTjKYhM8jdpfoXa9q_wV23ZcHb9s3J-POvS-89oB3awyiEKGNf5Xd4rt3RxRQ9J8cmOiPX_7alf51v4YHUn0MF37VaaP_PPf79ac_pOk_Fcu/s1600-h/DSC01310.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgd_VCcQrXa2895cM4O7JfbkRxmmb-vkLBJKTjKYhM8jdpfoXa9q_wV23ZcHb9s3J-POvS-89oB3awyiEKGNf5Xd4rt3RxRQ9J8cmOiPX_7alf51v4YHUn0MF37VaaP_PPf79ac_pOk_Fcu/s800/DSC01310.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251493686242925522" /></a>...and Murphy is counting the days.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-30581802153711345762008-09-11T15:03:00.001-07:002008-09-11T15:23:07.928-07:00It's Official!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHkpX4GrjPeHFrtLbR28mPMXwq5KHMc2_V6783tJARSRHeT8jTldGNvuspZNe0eTkNrEyzCFQEaZTIY9zDxlq2V_0YdUDmPcUN0LRUk1WRr4CeY2tjiZFkHsmqTzVVyMghMNLhsEzFav0/s1600-h/Photo+74.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsHkpX4GrjPeHFrtLbR28mPMXwq5KHMc2_V6783tJARSRHeT8jTldGNvuspZNe0eTkNrEyzCFQEaZTIY9zDxlq2V_0YdUDmPcUN0LRUk1WRr4CeY2tjiZFkHsmqTzVVyMghMNLhsEzFav0/s400/Photo+74.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5244887978338391922" border="0" /></a>I'm official!

So driving over there I notice that my cell phone is dead. Well, I am waiting to see what the verdict is on my grinding brakes and they come in about 15 minutes later, call my name and tell me that I need new pads and roters on the front. Sweet. And it will be two hours...<br /><br />Ok, I need to get back into work, problem is I haven't made any previous arrangements to be picked up, I don't have a cell phone and I don't have any cash (buses don't take credit cards do they?). Side note here I have only ridden the city bus once - and that is because it causes panic attacks - I never know if I am going to pull the cord at the right moment etc etc.<br /><br />So I head into a Walgreen's and ask if I can write a check for over the amount of my purchase, and the guy looks at me like I am living in 1980 (who writes checks and for OVER the amount?). He tells me the only way to get cash is to use a debit card - well I would happily do that except I have been waiting over 20 days to get my new debit card in the mail because the previous one was compromised (are you getting the part where I just couldn't make this stuff up?). Some days I should really think a situation through before heading out on my "quick lunch-time" errands.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-29220176138239638202008-08-07T15:54:00.000-07:002008-08-07T16:00:23.823-07:00Toto, I don't think we're in Kansas AnymoreSo I am not home right now, in fact I am in Denver at a business conference. One think with business travel is nothing ever goes just right. You either bring the right clothes and the wrong shoes or you don't have a car at the airport in your name etc. But I have the right clothes with the right shoes and i even had a car at the Hertz waiting for me. I also had to ride 20 minutes in a shuttle bus with a stinky scout troop who was on their wait to some scavenging outing in the middle of nowhere complaining about how there was mandetory showers - everyday. Are you kidding me? Serioursly these boys hadn't taken a shower in a few days just in anticipation - I could SMELL them.<br /><br />So anyway, I get in my car drive the 20 miles to downtown, get to the hotel lounge for a bit and head to a Rockies game - in a suite! - and guess what. It got rained out - no game - not even a snippet of one. Oh and come to find out all of the poeople that weren't at the game two blocks away were told the couldn't go ANYWHERE because there was a threaght of tornaodos ripping through downtown. Yep I was outside in Coor's field when I should have somewhere very dry and enclosed.<br /><br />This should be a great trip.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-19467785722281247802008-07-25T08:44:00.000-07:002008-07-25T08:58:29.542-07:00Mommy & Me...<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhmFfQ6SYemX8Pk3v5f8BNGB5lP1RTI4Z576s1eB5PTBYambElQdxRDv7usw5RGQRFaCdZTFDeBfldNyM6UhX6fMgiL4dnXROUOf-h_-FjWAKY4kljxX_zaxzlF2S4aoP52POk5kBO-R1J/s1600-h/IMG00031.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhmFfQ6SYemX8Pk3v5f8BNGB5lP1RTI4Z576s1eB5PTBYambElQdxRDv7usw5RGQRFaCdZTFDeBfldNyM6UhX6fMgiL4dnXROUOf-h_-FjWAKY4kljxX_zaxzlF2S4aoP52POk5kBO-R1J/s400/IMG00031.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5226978788201166578" border="0" /></a>Murphy, my little man, thanks for yesterday, I had so much fun with you. There is nothing like waking up with you and slowly starting our day with watching episode after episode of the crazy sponge in square pants. Walking hand in hand to the local aviary and having you be absolutely ecstatic at the fact that the parade floats will still meandering by while trying to find their was home was adorable. The perfection that can only come from a park stand cafe was wrapped up in your grilled cheese sandwich (which you will still talking about this morning). I think that we both enjoyed the ferris wheel immensely and I loved when you looked over at me with that cute smile and said "this is scary"! I think this picture pretty much sums it up - lets do it again next year!<br /><br />Funniest moment of the day was when I was asking you to drink some water so that you didn't get dehydrated and you turned to me and told me that you weren't DEHYDRATED you were FRUSTRATED and that you were going to have to put me in timeout when we get home.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-86522291068281974782008-07-16T09:19:00.000-07:002008-07-16T15:40:45.659-07:00WE ARE FAMILY!<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMo6otfHy25nCyAepsgs5OOEyetkGi2hGUS38QyDDbmSX1skoNEQlX97KsFUOQkfqO21k50EOliq67nChxzw-OCzjl8gKnG4XA0gvCPlUwsy4eiwe5haNsKeUMEB5LNZKmRFpMqJV9t4n/s1600-h/aquarium.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVMo6otfHy25nCyAepsgs5OOEyetkGi2hGUS38QyDDbmSX1skoNEQlX97KsFUOQkfqO21k50EOliq67nChxzw-OCzjl8gKnG4XA0gvCPlUwsy4eiwe5haNsKeUMEB5LNZKmRFpMqJV9t4n/s400/aquarium.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5223647839760462402" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;">Cute pic by Lacie Mae</span><br /></div>Okay so I am hope that song is stuck in your head - because it is going round and round in mine.<br /><br />On another note: We just weighed in for the biggest loser contest here at my office, and though my weight stayed exactly the same (seriously two days ago I was down 5 up 2 yesterday etc etc), anyway I have lost INCHES people INCHES! An 1 1/2 off my waist (bye bye sucker) and 2 inches off my butt (can't miss ya till your gone) and 2 INCHES off my thighs!!! I could run around the office jumping up and down, but instead I chose to post it here - don't you feel lucky!!!<br /><br />So now the next thing - I am training for a marathon...kidding I'm not, I will leave that to my crazy gym lovin sister. But I do feel like we started down a road with our little family of being just a little bit healthier with our eating and I have started making it to the gym on a regular basis which is incredible for me. Here's to the FUTURE!<br /><br />Oh BTW my cute handsome hunk of a hubby lost 11 LBS!!!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-4207507844470966362008-06-26T15:54:00.000-07:002008-06-26T16:00:44.176-07:00So what can you eat?We are into day 3 of our fast/cleanse/diet/new way of living thing. And after two days of being completely tired, cranky and having horrible caffeine withdrawal headaches, guess what? I am actually enjoying this. I feel better now (after the headaches have gone away) and I don't always feel like i am looking for the next caffeine boost.<br /><br />We are eating things that I have always been too afraid to try!<br /><br />We have also been getting the amount of fruits and veggies that we should be - not that we were doing bad before but I definitely wasn't getting my 6-9 servings of those things EVERY Day. Now we are - I have had strawberries, peaches, pineapple galore and I have not felt this good in a long time.<br /><br />I made tempeh (google it), we are making tofu tonight - yea! I don't think that we will continue like this forever but it is really nice to have cut out the vices (coffee - me) and just eat things that are healthy.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-59006103559718861112008-06-23T10:24:00.000-07:002008-06-23T13:08:32.719-07:00Quantum Wellness - Day 1We have decided to take a quantum leap, we are reconnecting with our food for 21 days. We (Josh and I - I am sure that Murphy will still sneak in some chicken nuggets) are giving up all animal and animal by product (CHEESE!!!), gluten, sugar and caffeine.<br /><br />Wish us luck! Day one, going well so far. We had soy yogurt and fruit, something vegan for lunch and then summery quinoa for dinner. Yum!<br /><br />The reason for this cleanse isn't nessesaryily to loose weight, but more to refocus on what we are really eating. I don't know what is in a box of mac and cheese - and I probably don't want to. Do you know what goes into a hamburger?<br /><br />The other part of this cleanse is causing no harm - that means no harm to animals, fish etc. Something about that speaks to me, I have always been an avid fan of the farmers market, believing that if you buy closer we are all better off.<br /><br />By the way - I really miss my coffee.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286560524075621837noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7855968264545147065.post-63157655580718327022008-06-19T16:18:00.000-07:002008-06-19T16:23:07.435-07:00My little man...<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH2QtQMmqHpTLaBM1i50fgp1TGHZIMJBTVaBQ02AtoJo4e0TC3L-4YLGK39lZAx_ZE9BK1vLNE7jOQcePAQW3GOgF4gdmT5lElDh3VNnHJlX80tL299Y5JhKvNN1ukNyF7zBMj8oaV_wAO/s1600-h/Photo+64.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiH2QtQMmqHpTLaBM1i50fgp1TGHZIMJBTVaBQ02AtoJo4e0TC3L-4YLGK39lZAx_ZE9BK1vLNE7jOQcePAQW3GOgF4gdmT5lElDh3VNnHJlX80tL299Y5JhKvNN1ukNyF7zBMj8oaV_wAO/s400/Photo+64.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5213736847230401426" border="0" /></a><span style="font-size:78%;"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">P</span>lease ignore me in this pic - but isn't he sooo adorable!!!!!</span><br /></div>...woke up this morning and as he was sitting on my lap waking up with a few cartoons.
