Exciting News! SIMS 3 will be out in 2009!!!

Many of you know how addicted I am to the SIMS computer games. So you can imagine how excited I was to learn that SIMS 3 will be out in 2009!!! It's supposed to be more realistic and have a realistic neighborhood that holds no boundaries for the sims. I'm also glad that the SIMS will be able to look more real because frankly all my current sims are skinny and look too similar. I'll be posting more later....

Easter Photos

Hello Everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful Easter! We had a very peaceful day that consisted of sleeping, hiding easter eggs in the house and having Rylan find them. Then we went over to Uncle Johnny's "Tio's house" and had a wonderful dinner. Rylan got lots of goodies and had a great time. By the time we got back home, he was so exhausted. He wanted milk and wanted to go to bed. Here's some photos we took today.

How about a Recipe Exchange?

I was thinking that its been awhile since we did a recipe exchange. I will look at my cookbook and see what ideas I can come up with but what do you think about an exchange? It can be any kind of dish.

Happy Easter Everyone!

Happy Easter Everyone! I will post a little early this week due to Easter. I am excited to see how this Easter will be… I got some plastic eggs for Rylan to find and we will hide them around the house. I can imagine that he’s going to go crazy about the eggs. I filled the plastic eggs and his easter basket with his baby fruit snacks and cereal bars. I’m fairly strict about what he eats. I want to make sure that he stays as healthy as possible.

I don’t have a movie of the week this week but I would like to discuss “Dancing with the Stars”. Not sure how many of you caught the first weeks shows but I was pretty impressed. I think my favorites are: Mario, Marissa Jaret Winokur (I’m kinda bummed that this is the girl from the Broadway show Hairspray and not the movie) and Kristi Yamaguchi. I’d love to hear who you all like and what you think will happen with the show.

Major Achievement of the week:

Rylan attempted to say “I Love you!”. It kinda sounded more like “I lov ew.” He also points at you and smiles when he’s trying to say he loves you.

Well, I sure hope that everyone has a wonderful Easter! Have a good day!

DANCING WITH THE STARS - SEASON 6!!!!

DANCING WITH THE STARS- SEASON 6 begins tonight. I am very excited to see this season begin since this is one of my favorite shows on TV. This season has a very interesting groups of stars. The stars include:
Adam Corolla

Cristian de la Fuente

Shannon Elizabeth

Steve Guttenberg

Monica Seles

Jason Taylor

Mario

Marlee Matlin

Penn Jillette

Priscilla Presley

Marissa Jaret Winokur

Kristi Yamaguchi

I’m hoping that this season will not be as disappointing as last season. Roger and I were hoping that Sabrina Bryan would have won as we felt that she was an extremely good dancer. I still find it very hard to believe that she was voted off due to a lack of votes. I, myself, used up all my votes on her. So anyways, I’m excited to see Marissa Jaret Winokur perform. She is the star of HAIRSPRAY. I totally loved her in that movie. I’m thinking that Kristi Yamaguchi will do a good job because she’s such a good figure skater. Since she is with Mark, I assume that he will have her doing a lot of challenging dances. I figure that Steve Guttenberg, Penn Jillette and Adam Corolla will have the comical acts that will attract us to their dancing. I don’t know a lot about the other dancers but I look forward to watching them all.

My Wish for the final two would be: Marissa Jaret Winokur and Kristi Yamaguchi.

Who I think might realistically make the final two are: Jason Taylor and Kristi Yamaguchi.

Who I think will be the First Person to be voted off Season 6: Penn Jillette.

Weekly Update: 16 March 2008

I am going to start something new this week and hopefully be able to make it a weekly update. Please forgive me if some weeks I don't post.

Weekly Babble: Here's a few cute little photos I took this week that I thought you might enjoy. I look at Rylan and can't help but smile and fall in love with him everyday. I can't believe how quickly he is growing up. It just seems like we were coming home from the hospital the other day and he would just lay there and sleep all day. For some reason, I wanted more than anything for him to get up and be active. Now all he does is run around the house, getting into things and cause me to wish for just one hour long nap. It's funny how your mind works when you're exhausted.


Movie Pick of the Week: This week I am choosing "Dan in Real Life". I had heard about this movie from some of the girls at work and decided to give it a chance. I personally thought it was a good chick flick. Roger watched it with me and he thought it was okay. I have read reviews on this movie and it was not given very good ratings but you should really check it out for yourself.

Plans for this week: Roger goes in for his sleep apnea test and will hopefully get fitted for the mask so that he can start getting rest and feeling better. Rylan and myself will be spending our usual days together this week. If the weather is nice, we'll go down to the park down the street and have some fun on the swings and slides. I can't wait until this summer when the weather is warm because the park has a mini water park and it's FREE. I bet Rylan will love running through there. He loves water. I catch him playing in the dogs water dish every day.

Well, this is all for now. I must go get ready for work. Today is my "Friday" so I'm looking forward to my days off....

Rylan's new favorite thing

So my son is going to love computers. I'm glad that he will because I can see him achieving goals with his ambition. However, it's making it very hard for me to ever be able to use the computer when he is in the room. He walks over to me, says "Momma" and points at the computer. He wrote Grandma a little email today. Course, she won't obviously understand what it says but none the less, it was cute.

Hurry up Springtime!

I wish that Spring would hurry up and get here. I am so tired of the rainy cold mornings when I come out of work to find a slight bit of frost or moisture on the windshield. Or when I have to spend 10 minutes to warm up the car before I take off. I'm so looking forward to the spring and summer with warm weather and sandals. My favorite part about those seasons!! I am so excited as there is just a tiny bit of flowers beginning to pop out of the ground and my rose bushes look like they are finally beginning to come around... Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!
