--------------------------------------
1. What is the one thing that you reach for the most in a day (excluding phones and computers)?Nail file, I always chip my nails and I am afraid i will cut my little guy!
2. What is the farthest you have been from home? Hawaii, I went once with my parents and best friend in High School and then once with the family that I was a nanny for. Pretty cool huh.....I am a lucky girl!
3. What kind of cell phone do you have? Love it or hate it? iPhone! and I more than love it, I don't think I could live with out it now!
4. Coke or Pepsi? Diet Coke!!!! I can't live with out it....I think I would have to go to a treatment center! I limit myself to 1 or 2 a day:)
5. If you could go back and change anything about your wedding day, what would it be and why? First of all I loved my wedding day and I tried to enjoy every minute! The photographer commented at my wedding that " I was such a happy bride" me...aren't all brides happy? guess not!! So my advice to all of you is that if you are getting married don't get all wrapped up in the little things and ENJOY YOUR DAY!!
boy did I digress! Oh well it's my blog and I will digress, wander, go on and on, swear....(digressing again) if I want to!!
Any way to answer the question, I would make sure the staff at my venue would have kept all the guests out of the reception area so we could have gotten the pictures we were supposed to get in there without all of my guests there! We were planning on doing most of our pictures there because it was beautiful....see...
Oh well:)
Have Fun!

But now I am
Back to
Blogging!!!!!
I am finally getting around to second post in my formula feeding series! Hopefully you read the first post if not check it out!
http://aboymakes3.blogspot.com/2009/07/formula-feeding-how-it-all-started.htmlPre-made: At the hospital they give you little nipple ready bottles of formula, all you have to do is screw on a nipple...they are great!
Take as many if these simple bottles home with you then you might even want to think about buying more for the first week or two! They are 2 ounces each and perfect for the many many feedings you will be trying to get used to doing at all hours.
They are more expensive but some times you have to think about convenience!
Coupons: Once you know which formula works best for you go online and sign up for their mailing list, give you email address and home address! I get coupons online and in the mail from Similac regularly and they are big savings...like $5.00 off each!
- Bottles: Buy enough bottles and nipples so that you don't have to wash them but once or twice a day! I like the Playtex bottles with liners. You will also need a dishwasher basket!
To Go: Okay so this may be my best advice! When I get ready to leave the house I make up a bottle with everything but the water. You put the liner in the bottle with the amount of formula your baby is drinking and then put the nipple on with a lid. Then you take a water bottle (I use a bike water bottle) and fill it with your home water. Doing it this way I found is so much easier than using those little formula dispensing containers and much cheaper than using the "to go" products the formula companies make. You can even make it pretty warm/hot water if it will be a while until your baby is due for feeding, then it will be just right and not to chilled when the cutie pie is hungry! This was really important for Jackson because he would get tummy aches if I switched water on him. If you are going away for a couple days you can pick up gallons of distilled water when you get to your destination. Make sure you use distilled not spring if your child is water sensitive like mine!
I would love to hear your tips, tricks and products too...please share!
So.. I know I have been neglecting my blog latley but, I hope you will understand......
On Saturday August 15
th 2009, at 8 months and 3 days old "The
Punkin" (Jackson) went mobile! Life as I know it is officially over....but one look in those big blue eyes and I don't care about anything else!
See for yourself...
Could you resist this face...I can't
When did your kids start crawling....walking..?? I would love to know!
Bye Bye for now!!

Okay so I'm not really a person that likes long drawn out surprises! You know "I got you something but I'm not going to tell you what it is".....that kind of thing. I do however appreciate the unexpected!
So when I received this award I was thrilled!!
Jillian over at
http://itallbeganwithamaninablackjeep.blogspot.com/ gave me this "One Lovely Blog Award"! Thank you so much Jillian (don't you just love her name) that was so sweet of you, it is my first blog award! Jillian just had a beautiful little girl if you have never checked out her blog you should!!!
In accepting the award, you are asked to pass the award on to 10 other sites you love. This is going to be hard, I love so many blogs!!
Oh no the fun did not stop there! It's my "birthday month" as my husband teasingly calls it but with the little guy around somehow it just doesn't seem as important for things to be all about me, so I Really did not expect to come home more than a week before my birthday to a New Laptop on the kitchen table! WOW!! I was not at all expecting that, I had hinted that I would REALLY like to have my own laptop but I never thought he would just pop out and get it for me!
The moral to this story is..... be unexpected, do nice things for people for no reason at all! You might be
surprised by how much they appreciate it!
Check out these blogs and then please pass the award on!!

Welcome Hoppers!
I thought this recipe was appropriate since Fall is right around the corner. My mom made these cookies almost every year for Halloween and they are FANTASTIC..... not low cal but great non the less! I plan on keeping up with the tradition and making them for Jackson...Justin loves them too!
PUMPKIN COOKIES1 Cup Butter
1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Pumpkin (canned)
1 Egg
1 Tsp. Vanilla
2 Cups Flour
1 Tsp. Baking Powder
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Tsp. Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup Nuts (optional)
Mix ingredients well (I mix all the dry ingredients in a
separate bowl first then add to other stuff that has been
mixed) and drop by teaspoon on cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 15 minutes at 375 degrees.
This is KEY!!
