…But Charlotte didn’t enjoy trying on the old bomber jacket that you gave Chase a few years ago. As soon as I got it on her, Chase laughed and exclaimed, “She looks like a boy!”
I guess we’ll have to have another boy someday, just so it can be worn again! But that won’t happen until many, many years from now.
LOST, you’re my friend
I hope you’re not taking me down a dead end
Your show last night was long
Devoted I was and came along
Now here I sit thinking what happened last night
Killed off Juliet and had everyone else ready to fight
Confused I am but more curious
If you don’t give me some answers I’ll get furious
And please, please whatever you do
just let Jack and Kate die a very slow, agonizing, painful death.
If any reader of McBlog pays for an iPad, I will consider myself a failure. PLEASE DO NOT BUY AN IPAD! In case you had a house full of kids to distract you today, Apple announced a giant iPod touch, called the iPad. Pricing starts at $499 for the 16GB version… WHAT!? and is also available in 32 and 64 GB versions. Ok so if you were about to buy an ipod touch or about to throw 500 bucks into the fireplace, then go ahead and buy an iPad.
You shouldn’t buy the iPad for a HUGE number of reasons, but here are a few: no features, no amazing hardware, no expandable memory, no camera, no background apps; your cell phone is probably better equipped. Ok I’m just too annoyed to discuss the details of this thing. Here’s where I end, things you could buy besides an iPad, and still spend about the same:
Apple, you have fallen far from making an awesome product. Your greed in marketing a sleek piece of crap that could have been built last year enrages me! I hope you die a slow painful AT&T network speed death in your mobile sector.
So I tasted the most amazing cupcake in my life around October. It was a spice cake with some tasty frosting. When I took a bite I thought an angel had just given birth in my mouth. (Just kidding, angels don’t give birth) It was really good, luckily I was eating it at a Halloween party so I got to eat 3 more. Just a few months later, Amber has a little business up and running.Now you have a chance to win some. Check out the details. Good luck!
Lately, Chase has been obsessed with his upcoming birthday. I guess that since Christmas is over with, he has to focus on the next major life-changing event. Yesterday he insisted that I write up a guest list for his birthday party. (I guess he gets to have a friend party again this year?) So he started naming every kid he knows, even kids who I know would have zero desire to attend (such as the cute 10-year-old girl next door). But I jotted down every name he came up with, and when all was said and done, 29 names made up that guest list. Hm, luckily we have time to narrow it down quite a bit! Especially because his birthday is not until April 14th.
Ok so two geeky posts in one day, I know… at least Amber is nice enough to comment on my lame techie things. Thanks Amber!
So I’m a big fan of HowItShouldHaveEnded.com, they make short cartoon spoofs about how movies should end if script writers had common sense. My absolute favorite of all time is a newer one I just watched, about Transformers 2.
Watch it now, and check out their other ones, Lord of the Rings is pretty hilarious too.
Here is the Twilight one b/c it had embed code, and the others didn’t… I never saw this movie, but I still chuckled at this.

What a fun time we had this weekend! First off, thanks to Jess & Casey for taking Chase to Jump on It on Friday afternoon. What a great break for Joy! Then Chase and I checked out the auto show in Sandy on Saturday morning. Joy and Charlotte chilled at the house. Chase really liked the sports cars, and the blue Jeep with no doors. I told him he could sit in any car he wanted to, and he picked the VW Jetta, he liked the ones with sunroofs. But when he saw the yellow Dodge Viper, he LOVED that one. He even told me to take it home. We also heard the Toyota girls sing the Prius song.. which was weird. All in all a great way to kill time.
Then we all came back grabbed the girls and met up with Grandaddy, GG and Ty up at Soldier Hollow. They have converted a little ski hill to a tubing hill. It was a blast! Check out the photos since they are worth 1000 words each.
We’re “entering the head wound stage” (as my mom likes to call it), because Charlotte can walk now! She doesn’t seem extremely interested in walking rather than crawling, but she does it occasionally. She loves walking with her bottle in both hands, and also doing some thigh-burning squats while she’s standing around.
I love the goofy facial expressions this little girl makes, like when she scrunches her face up then puffs through her nose, or when she sticks her tongue out really far (just ask Aunt Jessica about that one)! Charlotte’s main words are still “uh-oh” and “dad,” and she says “bap” for bath. Lately she really despises diaper changes and veggies. She has also been a busy monkey, climbing things whenever she can, and just chillin’ up there for a while.
Charlotte got to move into Chase’s big car seat after she turned one, so Chase got a booster seat! Luckily, it only cost $25 so it wasn’t a big deal. (Notice that Chase had wrapped the seatbelt around the back in this photo, but the car wasn’t moving yet!)
Now when we look in the rearview mirror, it seems like we have “two kids” rather than a kid and a baby! But Charlotte is certainly still a baby. I adore her sweet little face!
We are still pretty sleepless, but we have accepted it for now, and even have a sense of humor about it. Tonight Chase was screaming in bed a little while after he had gone to sleep, and Pace started singing a little song about how we love our kids, and how our kids hate sleep… And we both started cracking up about it! He always makes me laugh!
