Improved
Synjin's skills have definitely improved.We just have to work on the securely fastening part.I forgot to check it and the next morning I was sure sorry I had forgotten- pee everywhere!!
Christmas Fun
My friend Kim invited us to her mom's work party.It was a blast!The funnest part- explaining why there were 2 Santas separated by a makeshift wall with whom to take pictures with.

And here we go!!
Okay okay okay...I've been seriously considering the six things i just know are sure to make you glad you know me.Here they are:
1.I can't remember things.All questions of whether I like something, or have eaten somewhere, or have seen a movie, my name,and so on and so forth have to be asked to Daryl.People think this is funny cause they think i am just messing around but those who know me best know that i'm serious.my excuse for it all is i was in an accident-at least i have an excuse!!
2.I have this thing about parking spaces.I feel much better about driving if i know there will be a parking space waiting for me.i think this fear stems from a time i was at costco and had been waiting like 5 minutes for a spot and when the car finally pulled out another car snaked the spot.this incident has scarred me for life.not only that but i just have issues about parking as in i can never pull in straight.i keep asking daryl to send me to parking school...
(I know a lot of you know this story but it is a good one)
One of my most embarrassing moments-
3.Years ago i dropped Daryl off at Long Beach State after i had finished typing a paper for him.daryl actually drove there and went straight to his class instead of the institute where i would usually wait for him.he then told me to drive to the institute and wait.the thing is- his car was a stick and i don't do stick.why didn't i just wait where we were you ask?well because daryl had stopped in the middle of a street.i was a nervous wreck.i got behind the wheel and was shaking.daryl had told me to just go straight and then left.well another thing you should know about me is that i'm not very good with directions.
still shaking i try to start the car and it is dead.gimme a break- i at least can start a car!well, these worker guys helped me get it started and showed me it was actually a problem with a connection and how to fix it if it happened again.So i'm off...well not quite.i go straight but there is no left.so i turn right and find a stop light.the car goes dead again and when i get out of the car to fix it it starts rolling.scary!i get back in and another car stops to help.ok, so now i turn left but there is no institute.i go straight for a while and find out my only options are freeway, freeway, freeway, or freeway.so i get on the freeway.you know but i'm ok so far because at least i don't have to stop and go.that is what my really problem was.on the freeway you just go.well i am totally lost at this point and decide to get off at the next exit.
i then find myself in front at a stoplight.when the light turned green i just couldn't get myself to go.i was just frozen so i turned on my hazards and waited there.not quite sure what i was waiting for.all the traffic was going around me and then i saw a solution.coming the other way was a police car so i got his attention and signaled i needed help.well, here is where the story gets good.he turns on his lights and flips a u turn.he talks to me to find out what the problem is and well, i told him the truth- that I couldn't drive the car!!he asked where i was going and them informed me i wasn't even close to my destination.
i guess he wanted to share the news with his friends cause pretty soon there was about 4 more cars on the scene and all because i couldn't drive the car.the policeman got in the drivers seat with me next to him and proceeded to drive the car to a safe place off the street and then dropped me off at a gas station where i waited for my future sister-in-law to pick me up.what a day!!!it's a wonder i wasn't arrested!heck-they didn't even ask for my license.the whole situation is just comical.i'm sure they talk about it to this day!
4.The night before my wedding i discovered that our dog had eaten part of my veil.i screamed so loud people came running from all over the house.i cried and cried.good thing for good friends.Natasha, who did all our flowers, and the veil and so much more and who is just a wonderful person stayed calm and reassured me it would be all right.And by the next day it was!!
5.This is an oldie but goodie too:
My mom had given me a grocery list and on it was cilantro with a 1 next to it.i had never boughten cilantro before.when i discovered the cilantro was in bunches i asked the worker how cilantro was sold and he told me individually.so i took out one piece of cilantro from the bunch, put it in a baggie and went to checkout.for some reason the cashier just stared at the cilantro weird.when i asked her what the problem was she told me noone had ever bought cilantro like that before.go figure!!!
6.one time daryl and i were going into a mcdonalds downtown l.a. and a couple was outside begging for money.instead of giving them money we invited them in with us to buy them something to eat.the guy asked us what they could get and assuming it would be just a burger and fries and drinks we said whatever.well did we learn our lesson.i think after all was said and done they ordered one of everything off the menu.yes, we paid!obviously they were hungry and who are we to judge...next time we will put a cap on the ordering!!!
And there you have it!A glimpse into the crazy life of mine!!I'm still not sure i should have admitted it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It took some convincing to get Chance to take this picture.He didn't want to get to close to the scary skeleton.

SO BIG
Sebastian is 6 1/2 months old.He is a cute little boy.Instead of just army crawling he has progressed to the real thing.He gets to a sitting position by himself.We have just started piano lessons with him and he is doing a fine job.We are so proud!!
SYNJIN TURNS 5
I can't believe he is 5. Synjin and I had a serious talk and I told him he can only get older if he will still be my little boy.He has agreed!!
He is so excited to have a "big" boy bike!
That night we went to Pirate's Dinner Adventure in Buena Park. We had a good time. We took Synjin and Chance and the leader of the pirates was Sebastian the Black so Sebastian was with us too.Daryl's brother and our nephew, Matthew, were with us also.Chance was terrified of the pirates but as long as they kept their distance he was just fine :o)
Synjin is being sworn is as an honorary pirate!

DISCOVERY CENTER
We just tried not to think about where the costumes had been...
A good little climber!
OUCH!!A bed of nails!!
Chance loves Elmo at home.Guess the real thing is kinda scary...
Up up and away

Reunited...
Chancie had disappeared. I could hear him breathing in our room. I was surprised to find him sleeping on the floor, in a corner, behind a chair with his blankie.That is where we would hide it when we were trying to wean him but we hadn't put it there for weeks.
A REAL SOUR TREAT
Mom gave him the lemon to see if he would react the same as our other boys when we gave them lemons to eat at 5 1/2 months. :o) Nope, he ate it all up and wanted more!!

IF ONLY ALL NAPS COULD BE SO EASY
We were at mom's house.Sebastian was soooo tired. My plan was to lay down with him until he fell asleep since he wasn't in a crib and is moving all over the place these days. He was still awake when we entered the room. I think he fell asleep as I was laying him down(from my arms to the floor). He didn't move from this position(until he decided he wasn't getting enough air and turned his head sideways).I was so thrilled!!
