I hope I'm not jinxing myself

I just wanted to give a shout out to my little man, D. He has been doing a fabulous job of going pee pee on the potty. So far, no number two. But when he does, he is going to go to Chuck E. Cheese and score some Elmo bath soap that he picked out at Target tonight. Here's to hoping I am on my last case of size 5 diapers for a while:)

Here's why Macs rock

So, anyone who know me knows I have a thing for Macs. (This new one is the the third one I have purchased.) I had two laptops, that I loved and this new iMac, well, I looooovveeee. Here's my plug for Macs: they rock. They are so easy to use, they have wonderful programs, sweet graphics. I have all the standard "microsoft" programs- word, excell, powerpoint, plus I have all the Mac based ones that are a million times better.
Anyways, this is why I love them the most, I can make cool things that include pictures of my kids.

27 happy years

Yesterday I celebrated my 27th birthday! I am feeling old:) Not really, but I have reflected a bit on the last few years and how much my life has changed in just the last few. All changes for the better, of course.
I celebrated by stuffing my face at Black Angus with Brad, Dominic, Jade and my parents. I also got to go to the mall yesterday with my little family and bought Dominic some new clothes - one of my favorite things to do, push the big old double stroller around, get a pretzel, mingle with the million other Saturday shoppers, heaven, plus Brad appeased me by going with me, that was my favorite part.

Now for the really big deal…my wonderful husband is not a fan of shopping (see above). So, he tries to cover all major holidays in one fail swoop. This year he got me a new computer! It is beautiful. I seriously drool whenever I see it in the computer room.
I'm set for my b-day, Christmas, anniversary and valentine's day - probably for the next five years or so:)
I love, love, loved my birthday this year. Thanks to all that made it special!
P.S. Did you know that my first grade teacher still sends my a birthday card every year? We have the same birthday. She rocks:)

Okay, I caved

After going to Costco yesterday, I decided my kids looked too dang cute not to dress up and go to a few neighbors houses. I loaded to little ones into the double stroller and made my way out the door (Brad stayed behind to study and pass out candy.) I went across the street to Bob's house to visit with Bob and Arleen. - Great neighbors! Then I made my way to some more ward members' houses. We stopped by Corey's grandma's house and she was kind enough to give my kiddos apples. It was a nice change. Then I saw some friends from the ward and they let me tag along with them - the Strattons, Calkins and Hendricksons and Anica and Andrea. We ended up spending like two hours trick or treating! It was really fun. Dominic "got it." He was saying trick or treat to everyone and the other kids were helping him. It was very sweet. We went home and had some visits from Grandma and Grandpa, Missy and Lilo and Stich, Melinda, Sam and Sidney and the Ashcrofts with their cute little girls (they used to live next door to us.)
And the end of trick or treating, Dominic was tired and eating his apple! Thanks Sister Williams:)
