Gino’s Dream came true, (thanks for posting about this) USPS is replacing some of their mailboxes with R2D2 look a likes. NO not, to pull more people from UPS, no not to cause a crime spree of mailbox theft, but to celebrate the 30th anniversary (my dad admitted to seeing these in the theater.. that means he is how old?..) of STAR WARS.

Hey Gino, no need to post pictures of Courtney, I just typed in Gino’s Courtney into Google images and she popped up! What an amazing invention. Unfortunately, when I typed in Rachel’s Dustin for you to see him, looks like he used to be a girl… oh well.

We are experiencing cell phone problems. To reach us temporarily, call 8 0 1* 🙂 * 🙂 . We will hopefully be back to normal next week. Thank you.

UPDATE: We’re back to normal again… a least with cell phones

Congratulations to TMom, who just started classes at Sonoma State University yesterday! I am just about to call her to interrupt the studying I know she’s doing…. Nope, no Book Club unless you’ve finished your homework, young lady! 😉 And also congrats to Gino, who (I believe) just started classes at Long Beach! All this talk of school makes me SO jealous (snicker heeheeee….)!

The other night Joy and I had the opportunity to go on a date (Thanks Dustin and Rachel for making out while Chase slept). We went to Color Me Mine, a local paint your own overpriced pottery place with Jason and some girl that we’ll never see again. Joy made a very cute gravy boat which she has already used and I made this amazing McBowl. I wanted to show it off to everyone. We recommend Color Me Mine for a nice relaxing date, I wouldn’t use it as a first date, but a second or third would be ok. What’s the best date you’ve been on recently?

I just wanted to tell about the exciting experience I had a couple days ago in the kitchen… I turned a burner on, on the “high” setting to boil water for some frozen corn. I knew it would take a few minutes to heat up, so I went over to the carpeted area to play with Chase since I had been “neglecting him” to make some food. A few minutes later when I glanced up at the stove, I realized that not only had I turned on the wrong burner, it also happened have a glass Pyrex pan on it, with cake in it and foil over it. Horrified, I jumped up, quickly put on an oven mitt, and picked the glass pan up off the burner so it wouldn’t heat any more than it already had. About two seconds after I picked up, the pan exploded into a thousand pieces, all over the kitchen. I stood there in shock for a few moments, then ran over to pick up Chase who had started crying due to the overwhelming sound of exploding glass. At that point I just turned off the burner and walked out of the kitchen. I had already been dealing with a pretty bad migraine, so basically I was a little distracted and just didn’t want to do any more damage for the day… Later, when Pace had gotten home and we were picking burnt glass out of our precious linoleum and removing burnt cake from the counters, I realized that it was a miracle that I didn’t have shards of hot glass lodged into my face. I was especially grateful that Chase wasn’t in his usual spot during dinner-making time, that spot being in the kitchen, exploring the drawers and cabinets by my feet. We were protected from the evil exploding glass, and I am very thankful for that!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Tyler got his braces off and has emerged from the metal as sexy as his older brothers.

There is a new album in McPhotos and some new ones on the hompage slideshow. Enjoy.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

We hope that you and your family are having a great holiday season!
Be safe an hope to talk to you soon!
