the chocolate fountain!!!!

We were given a choc. fountain from sandy and finally used it this evening. what a treat!!! very yummy, and now everyone (except daddy) has tummy aches!!! that's what you get for gluttony :(. well, it was very much enjoyed as you can see by the pics. thanks sandy!!!!

a night in little italy

it was spaghetti dinner nite at our school. lots of pasta, lots of fun. we spent the evening catching up w/our friends, the johnson's (rachel, matt, "b", izzie and lex) and the campbell's (sierra "coach j", jalen & "k"). we also were treated to a musical performance from our first graders. the music selection was "on top of spaghetti", "that's amore" and two other songs i did not even listen to (that's what happens when friends are around)(don't tell q!!). the other highlight of the evening was that big and little ryan won potted daffodils!! they were sitting in the lucky chairs. now at least we have a little springtime in the house! the only bummer of the evening was the EMPTY wine bottles that were supposed to be "decoration" on the tables. to me it was just a cruel joke!!!

happy valentine's day!!

It was a romantic evening.... we ate a heart shaped pizza. i guess romantic dinners out are over for now....

So, what did YOU wish for????

i wished that telling quincy i was "29 and holding" would make it true!! for those of you who know me, that is the ultimate wish. so, after you read this post, please leave me a comment and share your wish....

This is very addictive!!

i have spent a good 2 hrs. trying to add "read more" to posts, so my whole comments won't show up on the front page. once i started, i couldn't stop, hence the "addictive". so don't worry, i'm not doing any drugs or anything like that.....and the pic of me is intently reading some random persons blog who gave me instructions on how to do this. big r thinks i'm a tweak, but i did it! and for my fellow bloggers, go here: http://betabloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/2007/02/expandable-post-summaries.html and you will get step by step instructions to different tricks.

Lost and Found

Well about two weeks ago, sissy found a $20 at bel-air. she immediately came to me and we took it to customer service. they put it in an envelope and said they'd call if no one claimed it. of course big ryan said they wouldn't, and i almost thought the same, until i got a message on the way home from church....sis could come and claim the money! so proud of her and as you can see by the pic, she is too! a lesson i am glad i had the chance to teach first hand.
