Titi's haircut

side view

now you can see my pretty face

i am too cute

So as most of you know Titi's hair was getting kind of crazy lately so we decided to take her to get her hair cut. While we were there they told us that in Asain culture they shave the babies hair for their first hair cut b/c this way the hair grows back quicker, thicker and even. SO of course I decided to go for it, adn now she looks so cute- she looks like a little baby again :) Love it titi!

Until next time...........

WE HAD A FABULOUS TRIP! THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH MOM AND DAD FOR THE GREAT TRIP AND FABULOUS MEMORIES! IT WAS SO MUCH FUN TO GO TO DISNEYWORLD WITH THE FAMILY. WE FLEW TO MY MOM AND DAD'S HOUSE THEN THE NEXT DAY WE DROVE TO ORLANDO FOR OUR 5 DAY STAY AT THE GRAND FLORIDIAN. IT WAS SUCH A GREAT HOTEL B/C IT WAS IN THE MAGIC KINGDOM SO ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS HOP ON THE MONORAIL AND THE NEXT STOP WAS THE MAGIC KINGDOM. THEN WHEN WE WANTED TO COME BACK TO THE HOTEL WE JUST HAD TO HOP ON THE BOAT OR GET BACK ON THE MONORAIL WHICH CAME IN HANDY WHEN TITI NEEDED A NAP.

WE WERE THERE FOR 5 DAYS AND IT WENT BY SO FAST. WE WENT TO THE MAGIC KINGDOM AND THEN TO THE WILD ANIMAL KINGDOM ONE DAY TOO. WE HAD A BLAST. THE KIDS BOTH LOVED SEEING ALL THE CHARACTERS AND RIDING THE RIDES. THEY BOTH LOVED THE TEACUPS AND DUMBO AND GRIFFIN LOVED THE RACE CARS. WE ATE LOTS OF PIZZA AND HOT DOGS AND CANDY AND IT WAS WORTH IT.

AT THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WE TOOK A AFRICAN SAFARI TOUR AND SAW LOTS OF ANIMALS ROAMING AROUND. BOTH KIDDOS LOVED LOOKING AT ALL THE ANIMALS AND WILDLIFE. WE TOOK A TRAIN RIDE AND THEN WENT TO A PETTING ZOO AND GRIFFIN GOT TO BRUSH A BUNCH OF GOATS. IT WAS SO FUNNY TO SEE HIM CHASING THE GOATS AROUND THE STABLE WITH THE BRUSH IN HIS HAND. THE ANIMAL KINGDOM WAS LOTS OF FUN.

ONE OF MY FAVORITE MEMORIES FROM THE TRIP WAS OUR FIRST NIGHT THERE WE WERE ON OUR WAY TO THE PARK AND TAKING THE ELEVATOR UP TO THE MONORAIL AND THERE WAS A MAN IN THERE AND GRIFFIN LOOKED UP AT HIM AND SAID, "I'M GOING TO MICKEY'S HOUSE NOW". IT WAS SO CUTE!!!!!

WE HAD A GREAT TRIP AND CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK!

THANKS MOM AND DAD....

The entire gang at new years dinner- so so good!!

Well 2008 is over and 2009 is here. 2008 was a HUGE HUGE year for our family. Titi was born ( no drugs mind you) , Jason took a new job, and we moved back to Dallas. Looking back it was a great year and I know that 2009 is only going to get better. I'm not going to bore you all with my resolutions b/c let's face it more than likely i won't stick to them, but hey one can hope.

I am so excited to be in Dallas with my family and all our friends and I can't wait to make this a great year.

I love all of you and can't wait to see you all and make lots of great memories in 2009.

Until next time...............
