FACE IT.........EVERYONE AGES

 Avi is 2 months old.....

 Bumma was once 2 months old.......

Faces start changing when you hit (cough, cough)

your fifties......

 Warning:

 The following picture contains subject matter that may be

disturbing to some viewers...............

That is what happens

 when you age without the benefits of

 "enhancements"

(Avi is picture perfect so maybe that makes me look worse?)

Avi is facing passing gas......

and the little stinker

 actually starts to cry...

When she sees a camera!

Taking pictures of her adorable face  

 may become a difficult undertakng, 

but 

"The difference between try and triumph is a little umph."

This is Brecken's happy face..... 

Silly face.... 

Scared face

Crazy face

I'm sick of this game face

Time to face the music......

Put on my best face........

and remember that 

Age doesn't mean a thing

 The best tunes are played on the oldest fiddles......



DON'T HATE ME 'CAUSE I'M BEAUTIFUL

Yes

this is the entrance to my condo complex.

These beautiful almond trees are over 100 years old

Proving that old can be beautiful...

Nothing like spring in St. George.....

Now go back to YOUR georgeous views,

something like this right?

Hope your spring comes soon,

but meanwhile......

keep a stiff upper lip

you know, cause it's cold and all.

Don't hate me 'cause I'm sacastic...

1995 CALLED....WANTS THEIR TELEVISION BACK

I admit it...

I have been one of the last to come into the world

of HDTV

This 200 lb monster has served me well for

16 years.......

But I can't say I was sad to see

the beast leave. The beast was ancient

and heavy....

very, very heavy..

Did I mention it was HEAVY?

Welcome, to the confusing world of purchasing a TV.

When did it become SOOOO difficult and bewildering

 to simply

purchase a television set?

These days, you need a PhD (at the very least)

 just to understand all of the TV jargon.

LCD, Plasma, HD, Home theater, 3D, and on and on and on... 

I just want a

simple, uncomplicated, easy to use

turn it on and turn it off television!

As the "sales son" patiently

explained all of the options

I finally just said

throw this one in the cart...

After set up and a demonstration on which

button would turn it on and off.

I was DONE...

I still don't understand all the

 gidgets, gadgets, pixels, thingamajigs,doohickeys, gizmos, or doodads,

but I have a somewhat working TV...

I say somewhat, because

apparently I still need to get some

Blue Ray, or Wii thing, 

to make the HD part work....

 and also to be able to stream

movies.....

because......

you guessed it......

My DVD player came out of the box

in about 1999.

Antiques anyone?



WELCOME TO THE WORLD....AVIANA K PARK

It started with a text......

Which I didn't believe...

Rob is a prankster

a joker.....

always crying

"WOLF"

and at the doctor earlier that day,

which was Wednesday...

they had been told that the baby would

come MAYBE by Sunday

so naturally my reply was:

But he wasn't

and on

2/23/11 at 22:33 Hours

Avi made her grand entrance

into the world. 

Welcome

Aviana K. Park

7 lbs 4 oz

19 1/2 inches

Notice Goal #1

Accomplished......

Britny, now known as

thehighestpaintoleranceintheworld

woman

delivered this sweet new baby

without so much as

an ASPRIIN!!

Wow! 

The happy family....minus Brecken

Dang hospital rules...

since this is the season of RSV, or RVS or RSVP

 or whatever it is...

no children are allowed in the hospital

 that are under 14 years old. 

We are so excited for this new little lady

to join our crazy close knit family. 

This future diva has a headband and hat

for every occasion 

Avi makes #9 to be welcomed into

my circle of grandchildren.

So thankful she is healthy

and is loved by so many. 

Brecken loves his sister....

and will even pose for a picture

as long it takes no longer than 30 seconds

so that he can get back to

his Wii game.... 

Britny's mom Kris and dad Kevin.... and don't worry Kevin

Your secret about your "weak" stomach

is safe with me....... 

for now.

2 days old and look at the strength of those legs! 

I see a future gymnast......

or kick boxer....

or snowboarder...

with lessons from Brecken of course.

DIDN'T SEE ANY PRESIDENTS THIS WEEKEND.....BUT WE'RE READY FOR HALLOWEEN

February 18, 2011

otherwise known

as PRESIDENT'S WEEKEND

started out being a bit

on the slow side

It was after all

Windy, rainy, and cold

What do kids do in this type of situation?

Some might play games, 

or think deep thoughts..... 

Others might just sit around looking pretty dang cute.... 

Some discuss world problems and how to solve them....

or something like that...... 

Still others think about a day not too far away

when they will not have a baby kicking inside

causing restless nights, and days....

 The restless nights all to soon

will become sleepless nights, with a new daughter,

but that will be the subject of the next post..

When kids get bored,

sometimes they become pretty entertaining!

CASE

IN 

POINT 

For once, 

I AM 

SIMPLY 

SPEECHLESS...... 

And that is quite an accomplishment.

The weather did clear a bit,

 so some decided to take a little ride... 

Um........you MIGHT want

to take the box off the top first.....

Just sayin'..... 

One good thing about 4 wheelers,

they make amazing storage containers.... 

A future drag racer....

Only 5 more years until she gets her license..

Her parents will sleep good tonight with that thought dancing in their heads....

It's either that, or that sugar plum fairy thing......

If you need somthing fixed around the house

I know a guy...... 

Now lets get back to the best part of the weekend..... 

doing nothing.... 

And looking pretty good doing it.
