Christmas!

What fun, what fun. We did the commuter Christmas again, and loved it! Tavi's Christmas eve, back to Tavi's in the morning, then Papi's for Christmas dinner.

This was Christmas eve-eve. But it cracks me up... Collin FELL ASLEEP IN THE MIDDLE OF A COOKIE! Its like we deprive him of naptime.


I was up all that night wrapping and getting ready. I was up really late and got a little silly...Yes I wrote this, and no this is not something Tim and Karen would write on Tim's gift.


On Christmas I got a BIG kiss.


And Collin got a Snowman!


We went to Papi's, and saw Papi enjoying Nani's slippers.


I'm sorry if you missed the video of Russel's proposal song! It was very cool.
Here are some of the newest developments: Yesturday we began Dress shopping. Doesn't she look gorgeous?
I know what you're thinking... "don't post those! The groom might see!"

Well she IS going to show him. And no she doesn't care! Go K!
The most important thing is to have the wedding you want, without other people giving you an unsolicited opinion!!!! (Does everybody get the point?)

KALLEN AND RUSSELL ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!

Sorry! I had to remove the video due to copyright concerns! But it was adorable!

My boy

He's so cute. We had a nice time tonight youtubing and just hanging out together. Timmy has to get up at 3am for work, so just Collin and I hung out. He wanted to see pictures of Papi. After looking at Papi for a while, we looked at some that Papi took.








He was walking on a curb, then....


Examined the damage...


Then, of his own volition, rubbed dirt in the wound. I don't know, I just work here.


Apparently the hurt.


So Auntie KK helped him wash it out.

Tim's and My Halloween weekend. Craziness. Fogey style.

First, my handsome hubby and I had some pomegranate wine with my Dad and Fernanda (aka Nani and Papi). Well 3/4 of us had wine. We went to a Russian/Georgian restaurant (Pomegranate) that is AWESOME!! We left full, and I, tipsy.
Remember how I said he is handsome? Proof...


Nani and I. (aw! we forgot to write on the wall!)


Quote from the Pomegranate bathroom that we all laughed at: "Women who strive to be equal with men are underachievers."


Day 2.

We went to a party, (yes, I actually badgered him into going) with Ashley and Robert. Tim was "scary pumpkin man who didn't wear his face most of the time," and I was Hannah Montana. Mine was scarier.

I took this one. I thought you should know.


We have some SWEET moves y'all!


And why not...


Again, sweet moves.


The girls



Don't stand so, don't stand so close to me! (they were a school girl and professor)


"Funniest face I have managed to catch on camera" Award.


Myth: BUSTED!!! He really does drink!(from blue cups)


He lost his wife on the highway


This is that photo that catches personalities completely.

I forgot to post the other videos.

Collin had to start off his own birthday song. Poor kid. I guess I could mention that this was the THIRD time we sang it to him that night!



Opening his presents from Grandma and Grandpa. Lucky kid! He REALLY loves those boots. They rate high enough to be paired with the spiderman costume. Trust me, thats a high honor.

THE birthday, continued...

He got some a SWEET costume from Tavi.


He was definately not shy about going for the good stuff.




But he crashed at the end.


The next day we went to Shogun with the Nani/Papi crew. Collin liked to decorate himself with the "chairs". You will also notice the "Stellaluna" book from Tanya. She knows the author!




THE VOLCANO!!!! It was awesome!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY COLLIN!!!!

~More from the rest of the day, will be coming soon. ~



Collin and I woke up a sang Happy Birthday to him and to Nani. He told me Happy Birthday, and when I said, "its not my birthday, its yours!" he replied, "your my mommy. Its your birthday too!"
The boy is wise far beyond his years...
Drum roll please....

All the fun we've had...

Sea World is awesome!







See the Polar Bear next to me?


You know You want skills like these!


After Seaworld we had dinner with Papi






A visit to the pumpkin patch with Opah!




Hay Ride












After the pumpkin patch...




Spiderman walks away with only a scratch, but you should have seen the other guy!
Collin is very proud of his band-aide





Beautiful Seaport Village! We played tourist and rode the carosel, and I'll admit it, I ate a carmel apple...and a covered cherry...and a turtle.


what a punk




American Idol...HERE WE COME!!!!


I can't cook...Thank goodness I had help!



You can almost see the Japanese sub-titles...



Silliness I tell you. Silliness!
