I'm super excited to actually have some cute Christmas cards this year. Shutterfly has so many cute designs and creative cards. I have never used shutterfly, but have lots of friends who have recommended them for all their cute cards, calendars, and photo albums. I've seen some of their super cute calendars and have loved them. The website seems user friendly and I think the prices are fair.

I can't believe it has already been another 6 months since I was trying to catch up from the last time! I'm pretty sure nobody even checks this blog anymore, but for you loyal followers,(like my mom!) here you go!<br /><br />In the last six months we (and when I say we, I mean Danny!) have finished graduate shcool, moved home for the holidays with no idea where we were going and then finally ended up in the great state of Texas! I'm not even going to try and write all that I should....I've tried - 3 times and it's just too overwhelming! I will, however, promise to be better and try to blog more than 2 times a flippin year! So for now a few slide shows is about all I can comitt to! I'll let the pictures tell the story. :)Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-68399936962861380482009-11-13T00:38:00.005-05:002009-11-13T00:42:53.820-05:00Sheesh!I'm not even going to try to write about the last 6 months!

How do people find time to blog, facebook, have kids, make dinner, clean the house, etc... I'm going to blame my lack of keeping up with computer stuff on my poor typing skills! We have had some pretty busy, but really fun weekends recently. Easter was awesome. Holidays are so much fun with kids. Rani loved the all the Easter egg hunts and festivities. By Easter morning she was really getting used to it all. We had recently went to the church for a special Easter playgroup/egg hunt, well, come Easter morning we are getting her loaded in the car and she just kept saying "I yuv Eeser time". She would say it in this dreamy little voice like she was just so happy and content, and life could just not get any better. Man, she cracks us up. She was a little disappointed to find out there was no Easter egg hunt at the church that day, though. <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmFofOlxYBukxqNqu5e8A3zeoWHGOPg8OTnWqJlq8zm6yfZaz1k8s3oKajvJ9iQpj_lLkfu0YTKnCVgC7gvgol5Lhuf-tmTTDpaH-mve5LAODTzxF1wKba_Y45LtnIHE_hY68lAQkbAzj/s1600-h/collage.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWmFofOlxYBukxqNqu5e8A3zeoWHGOPg8OTnWqJlq8zm6yfZaz1k8s3oKajvJ9iQpj_lLkfu0YTKnCVgC7gvgol5Lhuf-tmTTDpaH-mve5LAODTzxF1wKba_Y45LtnIHE_hY68lAQkbAzj/s400/collage.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330937773622108066" /></a><br /><br />A few weeks ago we went out to Lancaster co. It is so beautiful out there. I love going out there and escaping the craziness of Newark. The Amish are so neat. I'm really going to miss all the fun new things we've been able to do out here. And who knew the Amish did BBQ?! (And just in case any of you are thinking I'm totally tacky for taking a picture of the Amish, don't worry I did it really discreetly!) We also discovered a new park that we absolutely love! There is a dog park there too, so it's great for Rani. She so needs a dog!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvBF2d71ROBTWX77zCYoV6fHlk1MDIzuKPDC-obeUojVYZkiyxAAMOVqbgdADiAAXXrCjAsb8XYREb1joYrosMrs-Lpp9w7ca5hNtAD_FcENLHUILlTmdgwetvYhAIuMr6vipKNeDVXyI/s1600-h/collage1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEvBF2d71ROBTWX77zCYoV6fHlk1MDIzuKPDC-obeUojVYZkiyxAAMOVqbgdADiAAXXrCjAsb8XYREb1joYrosMrs-Lpp9w7ca5hNtAD_FcENLHUILlTmdgwetvYhAIuMr6vipKNeDVXyI/s400/collage1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330938783248267026" /></a><br /><br />UD had there annual "Ag Day". We took Rani mostly because there were going to be animals there and it was free. It was flippin hot that day, though! I'm pretty sure Rani got heat stroke, but that's a small price to pay for a pony ride, right? The only part Rani didn't love was meeting the mascot. Apparently giant blue chickens aren't her thing.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2EzSRszCJS3rr2ySmw3XKdOzds9USLTUCPDD5I_PImZznjEnJY1HdKDpXFP_K6JHS9PbpJvKzc7qQCllWEpKvemwVWXUKKcoWP9ARpGi2ORtH6vo9cehZINY2CgGKLRszbJ3qNHxiikv9/s1600-h/collage2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2EzSRszCJS3rr2ySmw3XKdOzds9USLTUCPDD5I_PImZznjEnJY1HdKDpXFP_K6JHS9PbpJvKzc7qQCllWEpKvemwVWXUKKcoWP9ARpGi2ORtH6vo9cehZINY2CgGKLRszbJ3qNHxiikv9/s400/collage2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5330940200493666594" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-76859836667898024082009-03-27T14:50:00.003-04:002009-03-27T15:15:32.337-04:00Yay!I'm sitting here at the computer, totally defeated. My child just won. After a long morning at the gym and a trip to Target and Old Navy I thought Rani would be good and tired - nope. I just tried to put her down for a nap, a process of which that took 35 minutes! Forget that it's already almost 3:00 and the whole time I'm telling myself this is not worth the fight, she's is so not going to go to bed tonight if I let her sleep. Still, I'm determined, (As determined as possible for Stacee.) and I will win this little battle. They say pick your battles, so why I chose this one is a mystery to me. We both knew who was going to win from the start. Finally after 35 minutes of crying and whining,(Rani, not me!) I relent and go in and get her. Stinker. As soon as I get her out of the crib she looks at me with her most pleased Rani face and says "Yay, I did it"! We all know who runs the house. It's going to be interesting when she's a teenager!!! Last Sunday at church Rani was really struggling. We hadn't even gotten through the first speaker and she was all over the place. The minute the speaker finishes and everyone says amen Rani goes "Yay, we're done"! She continued to do this after the Choir sang, and again after every speaker. I'm glad those around us thought it was funny, I was totally embarrassed!!! Oh, my funny, stubborn, smart, way more determined than me child. I just love her. :)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNA1gHT4Ub1nu3YXKEFz0DdQKMKO5bn0lxCXy82gxwJoyjL-SH9rBGPps5bhdD48S4wnVGJfWmgLLhTkBQzJL-6x7zg3_FWw7u3eWY2bptRkH_lscDxP4b0Ak3LmT5ksSgkaSNyE8fL_e/s1600-h/DSC01858(1).JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 202px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNA1gHT4Ub1nu3YXKEFz0DdQKMKO5bn0lxCXy82gxwJoyjL-SH9rBGPps5bhdD48S4wnVGJfWmgLLhTkBQzJL-6x7zg3_FWw7u3eWY2bptRkH_lscDxP4b0Ak3LmT5ksSgkaSNyE8fL_e/s400/DSC01858(1).JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317947943730141314" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzXkuoFZMKSYe-PtB2an56m69b6vo2JuykbJwfe8cvEqZT6LdLvHTYfMuMsC55AZhYs7eS_pi15VIX7tXTPQ-6g4WdBi9jr15bXA4g6nAd4VxFEcWLXuUeY3eo5bKqDusDThLxInP6Khv/s1600-h/DSC01865.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 274px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGzXkuoFZMKSYe-PtB2an56m69b6vo2JuykbJwfe8cvEqZT6LdLvHTYfMuMsC55AZhYs7eS_pi15VIX7tXTPQ-6g4WdBi9jr15bXA4g6nAd4VxFEcWLXuUeY3eo5bKqDusDThLxInP6Khv/s400/DSC01865.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5317947937084358338" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-79124805637596911232009-03-17T13:48:00.004-04:002009-03-17T14:14:30.436-04:00Partay!Saturday the group went out to dinner to celebrate Joe finishing up and getting his PhD. We went to Don Pablo's - one of the very few decent Mexican restaurants out here - and had a lot of fun. They hand out pieces of dough for the kids to play with and Rani kept asking me to make her an elephant?! My elephant wasn't Worth taking a picture of, but Anne's on the other hand...kicked my elephants trash. Surprisingly, Rani did pretty good at dinner. We've really been trying to work with her to sit still and stay at the table. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but for Rani it's like asking her to be in a straight jacket! The kid LOVES ice cream, so we bribed her. She also loved seeing Joe in the "big,funny hat", apparently they don't have a song they sing for getting your PhD (weird) so they brought out the sombrero and sang Happy Birthday instead. We're so happy for Joe he is going to be sorely missed!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAud-IqEqD9Ai46LMVl2rm98fCEsKr8ns-1RAVe0S1fettAxRpE1WKE8GjyhQUIZHRAP6oXZrrzURDL3-MfnqCE_UGqIv1Uk59FPiXxf8J4U0MxXa8rq22J0SgKnvgKESnlMYSkiWACD5h/s1600-h/Joe's+Dinner.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAud-IqEqD9Ai46LMVl2rm98fCEsKr8ns-1RAVe0S1fettAxRpE1WKE8GjyhQUIZHRAP6oXZrrzURDL3-MfnqCE_UGqIv1Uk59FPiXxf8J4U0MxXa8rq22J0SgKnvgKESnlMYSkiWACD5h/s400/Joe's+Dinner.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314217296898698402" /></a><br /><br />Then we headed on over to the Isom's for a "Pie (as in 3.14) Day Party. They crack me up! We had pie and played Guitar Hero. The kids ran around in their jammies and had tons of fun too. The little boys were so serious about playing the game it was so cute. All we needed was the microphone and we would have been complete. I'm not quite the rock star on the guitar I'd like to be, but someone get me a mic and I'll show you some mad skills! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOyNyqrQglz6N-Rg6sBri7Zk8TYsNA_PuH__dPIpdcXSkEAtPKGRxv2354tsc-dlHo3sed5_bAhNisd6z0Zt9np8kUiIxMzHRYVNrfXz8YxmCOHBQ0_s_MfgNy5zEG-6kp6SOnfYZ-zGzg/s1600-h/Pie+Party2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOyNyqrQglz6N-Rg6sBri7Zk8TYsNA_PuH__dPIpdcXSkEAtPKGRxv2354tsc-dlHo3sed5_bAhNisd6z0Zt9np8kUiIxMzHRYVNrfXz8YxmCOHBQ0_s_MfgNy5zEG-6kp6SOnfYZ-zGzg/s400/Pie+Party2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314221460574858578" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisG7kL5c4499CpGhhzkvJbv31GkCj_b2ZZPvVDhth_veK7ntTkoE0fTcROVodgpfPAOJ0NL1gJT0C9fkhQYH61UqswiD0ndA5RqvVt7rGQaJLZCZENke1hWHqiNhN1V8oigKwvNd91hyphenhyphenR0/s1600-h/Pie+Party.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisG7kL5c4499CpGhhzkvJbv31GkCj_b2ZZPvVDhth_veK7ntTkoE0fTcROVodgpfPAOJ0NL1gJT0C9fkhQYH61UqswiD0ndA5RqvVt7rGQaJLZCZENke1hWHqiNhN1V8oigKwvNd91hyphenhyphenR0/s400/Pie+Party.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5314221457311252226" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-27025498739782529282009-02-25T14:26:00.005-05:002009-02-25T22:43:43.226-05:00Potty Training Attempt?!I'm thinking it's time to teach her what this "pitty pink circle" is for?!

We had some much needed nice weather last week and we decided to go to the park with some friends. I think we got a little over zealous - there are reasons you don't go to the park in February. There was mud everywhere, which wouldn't have been too much of a problem if <strong><em>I</em></strong> wasn't a struggler too! I was not paying attention and Rani took off straight into the mud. I wish I had my camera for the actual moment of the fall and the moments right after! It was hilarious. She just sat there frozen, not sure what happened or what to do. Being the super mom that I am I dropped my bag, hiked my pants and ran to get her.(I use the term "super" loosely, considering it was me that let her run right into the mud in the first place.) She was TRAUMATIZED! Needless to say she was not happy and neither was I, because we had been there a total of 5 minutes and I need the park time as much as she does! Luckily there happened to be another mom there we knew and she came running to me holding a pair of her little boys sweatpants. I was sooooo grateful, it totally saved the day. unfortunately she continued to struggle. She fell a number of times even after the "nassy mud" insident". Rani is now completely terrified of mud or anything that resembles mud. Any time we walk outside she makes a WIDE girth around whatever she thinks is mud and says "watch out the mud, mommy. Eew Nassy". I love it, she's so funny. The other morning we were watching Daddy walk to the bus out the window and she says "Bye Daddy. Have good day. Watch out the mud Daddy". Lesson of the day - don't go to the park in the middle of winter, and if you must, pay attention to where your kids are running to!!! <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE0FYtrY3_Ei1izI6MtKbTrQ9OWp7gW-DSp8NA46isnWL00aa5MDQv2wnI3XpemD7tI6KPhP2gohbgvGUOC6RgSw3XRP4v6qloXTsKz26aCF1UVIuVXOcQkhY3vmZ4ktlQrHVtTLdsbP8J/s1600-h/Eew+Nassy+Mud.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjE0FYtrY3_Ei1izI6MtKbTrQ9OWp7gW-DSp8NA46isnWL00aa5MDQv2wnI3XpemD7tI6KPhP2gohbgvGUOC6RgSw3XRP4v6qloXTsKz26aCF1UVIuVXOcQkhY3vmZ4ktlQrHVtTLdsbP8J/s400/Eew+Nassy+Mud.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5303118954603868290" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-36037449929327893932009-01-27T22:10:00.011-05:002009-02-01T13:47:05.526-05:00"Stingy Rays" and Birthdays!For Danny and Rani's birthdays we decided to take advantage of the discount "Friday's after 5:00" discount at the Baltimore aquarium. (It may or may not have mostly been for Danny!) Despite a few tense moments in some killer traffic in down town Baltimore- anyone who knows Danny or Rani knows what I'm talking about - we had a lot of fun! Rani was just loving running around, up and down the ramps and trying to climb on everything. She loved the "stingy rays", now when we play charades at Seema's she loves to lay on the ground with her arms and legs spread out and tells everyone she is a stingy ray!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyI1uzleVuzSpV2CUHplaNaE6OLKKHg5JhSMArw37FPwcaVfiI-aeT7f5KTTSo-Arj8Y10OQbkcNwhixYyXQqc4u5Tq8GFqvf3-TUfPF5OTUKnJRueys9Y8Ts9qm0Qngal7ZOA8Yr49A4Y/s1600-h/aqquarium3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyI1uzleVuzSpV2CUHplaNaE6OLKKHg5JhSMArw37FPwcaVfiI-aeT7f5KTTSo-Arj8Y10OQbkcNwhixYyXQqc4u5Tq8GFqvf3-TUfPF5OTUKnJRueys9Y8Ts9qm0Qngal7ZOA8Yr49A4Y/s400/aqquarium3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296178034137494610" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4GkVy0Cry6R8B3_iVlTZh3UFVUDsoYr9tYqBZGE1n34lIYq5Bpdzzm8YTJhY0svOtmlC-JAlQORDzycbZAF6oYdYmJEU3y94kV3N0nyxli7Ra1xZ3CwlxRIf-K1S8pabe-RkxeO9odhPk/s1600-h/aquarium2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4GkVy0Cry6R8B3_iVlTZh3UFVUDsoYr9tYqBZGE1n34lIYq5Bpdzzm8YTJhY0svOtmlC-JAlQORDzycbZAF6oYdYmJEU3y94kV3N0nyxli7Ra1xZ3CwlxRIf-K1S8pabe-RkxeO9odhPk/s400/aquarium2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296178028222402530" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWknkq6IsTfz8Ef3CQ9J-ZffL_vPohfYtR_88XwkKBiowrCKBl8-tKueuJAYD2vE4QM85WeIXMlcSQn1P9pL2q0ka4s5-Xwez5NzkiVKI_SPBdXzliFzQKosvV6U-On-26BdQwqJCbUdV/s1600-h/aquarium.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghWknkq6IsTfz8Ef3CQ9J-ZffL_vPohfYtR_88XwkKBiowrCKBl8-tKueuJAYD2vE4QM85WeIXMlcSQn1P9pL2q0ka4s5-Xwez5NzkiVKI_SPBdXzliFzQKosvV6U-On-26BdQwqJCbUdV/s400/aquarium.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296178028023064242" /></a><br /><br /><br />Then we had a few friends over for some cupcakes. Rani loved it. I think we've celebrated her birthday about 7 times. She is still singing "happy birthday to you me". Her favorite thing in the world right now is to have people sing to her and blowing out candles! I can't believe she is two already. That girl is the greatest challenge I think I have ever come across...and my greatest joy. She is so stinkin smart. (I heard her count to 27 the other day!) She has more personality than I know what to do with!!!

Where have I been?! Let's see...I've been in Utah for Christmas, then it was Danny's b-day, then Rani's b-day, time just flies! It's taken us a little while to transition back from Utah. I think we had too good of a time - Danny and Rani especially. Rani (Truth be told - Danny too!) thoroughly enjoyed her animal time. It was like her own personal heaven there. Dogs, cats, horses, cows, she can never get enough. We had a little pre b-day party for her so family could come. It was nice, last year was a little sad for me having no family on her first birthday. :( It was a fun trip here are a few highlights of the other highlights!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1j_krZoHEsQU_reaFtrsgSENb1Xeiptu2yIyh8LUwIEhOEPeYeQGwxUwXs-NPPcVYnD9c1WM2-AhiomYbFyhU0Gwk0bRwys2PC6Immb01nn5abVHQ2h5rKtd70Ws7S4RLfNNA8tQfEvdU/s1600-h/Utah1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1j_krZoHEsQU_reaFtrsgSENb1Xeiptu2yIyh8LUwIEhOEPeYeQGwxUwXs-NPPcVYnD9c1WM2-AhiomYbFyhU0Gwk0bRwys2PC6Immb01nn5abVHQ2h5rKtd70Ws7S4RLfNNA8tQfEvdU/s400/Utah1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296163895039024050" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZE0gVv3s879YWFiQlQKU3Y3GfgG7hbq8bODKgQbPCGVr-Eh_otGOtKzdcrHSSl0YKT47PwXFgQAXXQLRY9uVrQap7ZBCfPvv8R5fIfDeaJaX4DxwwjVN3IdFGChIO-6d0c3GP6-phi4w8/s1600-h/utah4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZE0gVv3s879YWFiQlQKU3Y3GfgG7hbq8bODKgQbPCGVr-Eh_otGOtKzdcrHSSl0YKT47PwXFgQAXXQLRY9uVrQap7ZBCfPvv8R5fIfDeaJaX4DxwwjVN3IdFGChIO-6d0c3GP6-phi4w8/s400/utah4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296163913070915698" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-GHkOn0hcFkxZw2J8W7xBTIMeVv32WMa1B207m76rStnLZ97fiaY4c3kzKtHObnsvHNw6UN1GUCH4sKbHZP5awr7mEeP0EaULYtabadW_H1_jPsc_A11e9_WA5UU1MX3Qf472JeC3-1XL/s1600-h/utah3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-GHkOn0hcFkxZw2J8W7xBTIMeVv32WMa1B207m76rStnLZ97fiaY4c3kzKtHObnsvHNw6UN1GUCH4sKbHZP5awr7mEeP0EaULYtabadW_H1_jPsc_A11e9_WA5UU1MX3Qf472JeC3-1XL/s400/utah3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296163913350013858" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh64vydBGoR9hfk2qSumZDJVxcqb-EdQbcIcW1OrqIuM23NvcugPe5b9jvWxd4j4Jxz8JtZI_VKGqNo-KiEGiIDIEdu6lWZ3avpMrWUu_FtF7P58DWwMidWfOEiPPlq93PDJQBwW8n-iQIL/s1600-h/utah2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh64vydBGoR9hfk2qSumZDJVxcqb-EdQbcIcW1OrqIuM23NvcugPe5b9jvWxd4j4Jxz8JtZI_VKGqNo-KiEGiIDIEdu6lWZ3avpMrWUu_FtF7P58DWwMidWfOEiPPlq93PDJQBwW8n-iQIL/s400/utah2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296163901622824290" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb4oNvJ8dq5JEK3aBpW9TXuWmWdicow_ncVmBK-6VJYAwVQ1eXC9FgTgGQCVkUUXidaqaNao35tqLCQ08ogb9ZOmwZ2j5RuQVxAuakZiq5dldhJXWV5N7ZQZr1LujomoY2jZeiCfG53VFh/s1600-h/Utah5.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb4oNvJ8dq5JEK3aBpW9TXuWmWdicow_ncVmBK-6VJYAwVQ1eXC9FgTgGQCVkUUXidaqaNao35tqLCQ08ogb9ZOmwZ2j5RuQVxAuakZiq5dldhJXWV5N7ZQZr1LujomoY2jZeiCfG53VFh/s400/Utah5.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296167334030770514" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pDKcT9UcDYJrV8si8YcBD15wZ_RKtGfdJjOhnY__OU6CHydXSn8bdhbTtZNTtEVH4_bweFCj9BjmLKuU-FBvv4CxUovv1F7L2U24WnD4NKHQS9KQA5QhZnW_rERIDXnberUBVf9TrIyi/s1600-h/Utah6.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-pDKcT9UcDYJrV8si8YcBD15wZ_RKtGfdJjOhnY__OU6CHydXSn8bdhbTtZNTtEVH4_bweFCj9BjmLKuU-FBvv4CxUovv1F7L2U24WnD4NKHQS9KQA5QhZnW_rERIDXnberUBVf9TrIyi/s400/Utah6.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296169440786377538" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdekkA94LsevxWSRpi03E1lUAcSKoDX2nR1RcdlQrADXb0VZiWVH6KRemJ5RxKMTiwLxcGr2ThMxaBEZySMGE39RPYetk8_WVNkg1lHhxKxBqK7hIlNWfX-7o81s9LI582kPn7jvQaiegU/s1600-h/cats.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdekkA94LsevxWSRpi03E1lUAcSKoDX2nR1RcdlQrADXb0VZiWVH6KRemJ5RxKMTiwLxcGr2ThMxaBEZySMGE39RPYetk8_WVNkg1lHhxKxBqK7hIlNWfX-7o81s9LI582kPn7jvQaiegU/s400/cats.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5296169439393120834" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-83760667796979029262009-01-09T15:46:00.002-05:002009-01-09T15:51:03.665-05:00WOW, Christmas is over already...I'll be changing my music now!Sorry.

Danny decided we need to something a little Christmasy with Rani. We would've liked to go see Santa but since they charge you way more than it is worth or than what we can afford we decided to make a ginger bread house instead. The only problem is, ginger bread houses really start to add up too! We used cheap graham crackers, made the frosting and got some nasty candy from the dollar store - all of which make one ugly, ghetto ginger bread house! We improvised and used a taco chip for a Christmas tree(my idea!) and used some marshmallows and pretzels for Rudolph. Rani loved it and had so much fun. By the end of the night we were cracking up at ourselves and the things we could make. Danny was particularly proud of his "Christmas dino". <br /><br />Then I had a pre-birthday party at the Cheese Cake Factory. It was awesome. I have such awesome friends that will drive all the way up to King of Prussia for me to go to my happy place for dinner! <br /><br />Then the bad...Danny and I wake up Saturday morning feeling pretty good about life in general. We're looking forward to a fun filled day of grocery shopping at walmart, running some errands and then if we are feelin crazy we might head to the mall or Target, until we go to get in the car. Someone has totally bashed in our window and stolen our gps. As you can imagine it was a pretty sad moment for us. We only have one car so there goes our weekend! Nobody can fix it until Monday. The worst part is driving to the closest gas station to vacuum out all the mess of glass that this lovely person has left for us. Danny pulling out his mad engineering skills riged a blanket over and through the window. It actually wasn't too bad, just a little noisy. Some days we're just done with poor grad student, nasty apartment living, one car driving, east coast living life. Saturday was one of those days. I'm going to tell myself that this person (most likely a drunk college kid) really needed to get this gps to buy a wheelchair for his disabled little sister for Christmas.

I'd like to say it's because our computer bit the dust (which it kind of did), but it's mostly because I've been pretty busy...and lazy! I'm working on a borrowed lap top and decided to steal the collage I made off my friends blog so I can post SOMETHING. <br /><br />Here's me and the girls at the midnight showing of Twilight. It was so much fun. We stayed chatting until there wasn't one single person left in the theatre! I was thinking we were such big dorks for going to the midnight showing of movie about vampires...until we saw half of the ward there too. (Most of whom are much older than me) It was awesome being a little irresponsible, staying up that late and giggling at "Edward" with all the other 15 and 16 year olds! Sometimes you just need to act like a teenager again. I'm so glad I have big dorks for friends who want to do these silly things with me! (As for the movie. I'd give it a 6/7. It wasn't bad, but not fabulous either. Didn't like Bella, Edward grew on me once they layed off the pink lipstick, and Jacobs wig was ridiculous!!! Didn't do the books justice, but who am I kiddin? I would totally see it again!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSELH7_2b1nt6Y6LmbujM-FwpU26EP7BD5vDY6riynfp0hxZeNILPOM7JCwVe7EC7ctdYnqZG4Xjh9JrqGy94xBPyjtqRJz4_2vXzuNUC2C08J_-M3gIakRHp3v-4pTvSn2-1CetsYOcW/s1600-h/twilight%5B1%5D_(2).jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUSELH7_2b1nt6Y6LmbujM-FwpU26EP7BD5vDY6riynfp0hxZeNILPOM7JCwVe7EC7ctdYnqZG4Xjh9JrqGy94xBPyjtqRJz4_2vXzuNUC2C08J_-M3gIakRHp3v-4pTvSn2-1CetsYOcW/s400/twilight%5B1%5D_(2).jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277573837470781234" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-25086654564397962832008-11-16T21:46:00.003-05:002008-11-16T22:06:54.719-05:00Party At The "Mavericks" House!I completely forgot to blog our "grown up" Halloween party at Angela and Kevins house! It was so much fun...no kids, just us grown ups getting "mavericky" and being big dorks laughing are heads off at eachother. We had a best costume contest and Benny and June (Jenny and Jed) totally took the cake! Their costumes were awesome. Although the plain and with nuts candy bars were a close second! Miss Sarah Palin and MR. John Mccain were awesome hosts!!!

Halloween this year was awesome. It was like a week long event. We started off with Trunk-r-Treating at the church and then went to a really fun "mom and me" dance class during the week with Leslie and Isabel/super cute Yoda! (You can tell by the pictures how thrilled Rani was to be there! She was, however, really excited about the bar to hang from. All these cute little girls doing plies and my child is hanging like a monkey. The poor lady kept having to tell her to get down, which is "Rani" for "what, you want to see me do it again?!" Next time we'll do a Mom and me gymnastics class!) Then we ended the week with an awesome night of - as Rani says - "chick 'r cheating" in the old neighborhood. Rani LOVED it. She is still talking about the "fun houses" and "knock uh door" and recapping who was what. She insisted on carrying her broom and pumpkin-full of full size candy bars the entire night. The hat we barely got on her for a few pictures. It was a lot of fun, though. These holidays just get to more and more fun with Rani. Can't wait until Christmas!!!<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0jf5gh-NCfGFnPhiP7rZixzd7cH8YDXy1aZNgFfY8-lQzXuCpevge9UVpCQnhfnFruhmgWcMbv51zphe8BOe8jictYc0VbWHQixSTIsiuktEwJ5Nh2Of0rh52PczKE_GEpVuNwdFysfj/s1600-h/Halloween+collage2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 376px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgp0jf5gh-NCfGFnPhiP7rZixzd7cH8YDXy1aZNgFfY8-lQzXuCpevge9UVpCQnhfnFruhmgWcMbv51zphe8BOe8jictYc0VbWHQixSTIsiuktEwJ5Nh2Of0rh52PczKE_GEpVuNwdFysfj/s400/Halloween+collage2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268000756442238082" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyhIbGU2ljv8psgO_Ro4amjTAAAai9JjrOe2SXU92qDdtbJD8xBVYDe8dZaaPq8ZANXcul0vUmluWSrnj6XLX5EAPxVJl8somtEHeEC7eZIRIQ_83eMys_yHTmVXwRcp3MWFyHt4vKXQGX/s1600-h/Halloween+collage3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyhIbGU2ljv8psgO_Ro4amjTAAAai9JjrOe2SXU92qDdtbJD8xBVYDe8dZaaPq8ZANXcul0vUmluWSrnj6XLX5EAPxVJl8somtEHeEC7eZIRIQ_83eMys_yHTmVXwRcp3MWFyHt4vKXQGX/s400/Halloween+collage3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268000754627566290" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4BTsABRztDJi5jqEB-5fe2t-3WxgoSle-e8FYQo7r7Y2DICDjsgMUlAKfdUTkBGHggyUsdqhD2SZ0rkSfNcHBc-J2fkWGW95Jk_s0HtFP3s05YUb5OqjHF8J43vGEdUOH1Q_UJG3O5SF/s1600-h/halloween1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 382px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjq4BTsABRztDJi5jqEB-5fe2t-3WxgoSle-e8FYQo7r7Y2DICDjsgMUlAKfdUTkBGHggyUsdqhD2SZ0rkSfNcHBc-J2fkWGW95Jk_s0HtFP3s05YUb5OqjHF8J43vGEdUOH1Q_UJG3O5SF/s400/halloween1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268000757027401026" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKTO5I5UshLNpYlrhySTMpD438eWt9QfeUBEAWweLeqkOGCZORLaCyCK3Arbw0tvhhVBDtP3AmxcPDZgRbutR7Q0yBRe1dQlmXcRgnkCHP_O3PTEsQSTj8APeYDyQLmd5Bbg_0MbW85AM/s1600-h/Halloween+collage4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkKTO5I5UshLNpYlrhySTMpD438eWt9QfeUBEAWweLeqkOGCZORLaCyCK3Arbw0tvhhVBDtP3AmxcPDZgRbutR7Q0yBRe1dQlmXcRgnkCHP_O3PTEsQSTj8APeYDyQLmd5Bbg_0MbW85AM/s400/Halloween+collage4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5268000765174365634" /></a>Staceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03076401962599102991noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873158921990735677.post-26167429095224290302008-10-28T23:40:00.006-04:002008-10-29T00:22:32.560-04:004 Lucky Girls With 4 Awesome Husbands!A couple of weeks ago me and my four good buddies (Sorry to all my other good buddies out here who couldn't come!) did a girls trip to N.Y.. Thanks to Angela and her no nonsense way of doing things, we actually didn't just talk about it...we did it! Also to her credit, her dad totally hooked us up with the Marriott Marque in Times Square for...FREE 99! It was awesome. Killer view, sweet service and prime location. The trip was so much fun and we are all so lucky to have super supportive husbands who say - "sure go ahead, leave me with the kids for the weekend. Go spend money, giggle, have a pillow fight and eat like sumo wrestlers"!

We had some really good food. We basically skipped lunch, unintentionally, everyday trying to get as much in as possible. While in China town I found an Asian pear (my FAVORITE) the size of my head. It was happiness in the form of a fruit. Really. I was so happy eating it, I wish I had one right now. Also in China town, Ang and I split a giant bag of fortune cookies, which later, me being me, I left at the restaraunt. It got thrown away, but as luck would have it we were dining at an Asian restaraunt... so they gave us a big bag full of their fortune cookies. (Who says the service is horrible int the city?!) <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVLGJia5ytt2i5aHTYxPeAZS076oQSDszZ4omT-6YFLwZ5B6yQ96LMCP3b7CHLQ57IrQIs3N-zKZPpPmGAOvdintQEsKHH1Y9d2LWmYH1czxf9U-Yq-DA980n6iBdCKSlSPpeRKCdZoO3n/s1600-h/colaage+2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 398px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVLGJia5ytt2i5aHTYxPeAZS076oQSDszZ4omT-6YFLwZ5B6yQ96LMCP3b7CHLQ57IrQIs3N-zKZPpPmGAOvdintQEsKHH1Y9d2LWmYH1czxf9U-Yq-DA980n6iBdCKSlSPpeRKCdZoO3n/s400/colaage+2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262416732959741890" /></a><br />Some memorable moments:<br />*Me pulling yet another "Stacee" and walking right into the cable on the bridge (nice timing with the camera, M.J.!)<br />*The beginning of M.J.<br />*Angela shooting up in the bathroom at Carmines<br />*Waiting FOREVER late at night to get into the oh so popular<br />Serendipity...which we ended up leaving and not even getting anything. They expected us to pay $8.75 per person. All we wanted was to share some frozen hot chocolate! The menus were ginormous and of course the seating was super squishy. Oh, well.
