John Mayer

October 17th, 2007

So I love John Mayer (his looks and his music) I love his style and he new album Continuum is FABULOUS!!! My husband got it for me because he knows how much I love John Mayer. The latest single is called “dreaming with a broken heart” which is a bit of a sad love song. It’s Hilarious because whenever I am in the car and it comes on naturally I turn up the volume a little. Aiden is usually in the car with me and he has picked up on some of the lyrics. He is quite the little singer. (He knows row row row your boat, and Old MacDonald had a farm) I never intentionally taught him this John Mayer song, but whenever it comes on he sings along, it’s is about the cutest thing ever. There is a line in the song that says “cause you’re gone, gone, gone, gone, gone” This is Aiden’s favorite line, he never misses the chance to sing “gone” and he always does it 5 times (which is right!) it’s so cute!

Brandon is now tracking the traffic our site receives which is actually kind of fun. We can look to see what kind of search will give them our site as a “hit” Many of you might remember my post early this year about pubic hair. If you have read it you most likely have not forgotten it, if you haven’t, give it a go, it’s funny!

That’s the link to it. Apparently our site gets most of it’s traffic because of that post, if you Google “Labor and Delivery shaving” My post is at the top! Crazy, huh? I didn’t realize how concerned people were, but trust me, if I can just raise a small amount of awareness about this important issue I will be satisfied!

New Look

October 7th, 2007

Brandon and I (mostly Brandon) are re-vamping our blog, so to speak. I am the main author on the blog, but Brandon is the main administrator, so he keeps things working, and I keep them interesting. I am going to be posting a new category of posts mostly all relating to finances, and saving money. I haven’t changed my career, but saving money is a personal hobby of mine, and my husband has been encouraging me to share my knowledge with the world, or the people who read our blog, both I guess:) I would love to draw the interested of strangers, it would be fun! You know like a fan club. Anyway when you see those posts that is what they are about, basically me writing about one of my hobbies. Having a life on a budget, not necessarily a budget, but basically how to do anything cheaper. But doing it well! Anyway read the posts as they come out and you’ll get it. Also we wanted to change the way the blog looked (when I say we, I mean Brandon) But I like it. I am mostly of the mindset of if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, Brandon enjoys renovations, so now our blog is prettier. Hope you all enjoy it, more to come.

New Pictures

October 6th, 2007

So I loaded up a bunch of new pictures, these were taken at Aiden’s Birthday party, which was held on Sept 22nd (his real b-day is Sept 15th, but mommy wasn’t organizer enough to have everything together in time, so we had it a week late) We had planned on going to this great park called Burton Chase park in Marina Del Rey (right on the Marina) but the day of the party we had this flash flood thing going on, so we wound up having the party at our dry home. Aiden had a lot of fun, you will see some of our guests in these pictures as well, there are several shots of Aiden with Brandon, and the little blonde girl helping Aiden open gifts is his bff Kaitlin. She turned 2 just a couple weeks before Aiden did. Her mom and dad are in some photos and they are Alona and Marc, there is also Madi, Laura, Laura’s mom, Chris and Lori, Claude and Denize, and Greg and Ethan. Aiden had a great time opening gifts although he seemed a bit overwhelmed. Holidays and Birthdays are a lot more fun with little ones though, they get so excited about everything!

Today we went to a portrait studio and had some posed pictures of Aiden done, I will have the proofs online in a few days, they turned out pretty cute, he had on a regular outfit and then a Monkey costume which was completely adorable! He hated it though, he was so afraid of the studio. He had to see his pediatrician recently and I think he was thinking he was back again, because he had a mini panic attack! You can see the leftover tears in some of his pictures, it about broke my heart. The photographer was great though, and so patient with him. I was very impressed. Brandon’s Grandmothers have been requesting “real”photos of Aiden, so I needed to get them done. So please enjoy these and check back next week, there will be more!
