Saying goodbye to friends makes me sad.

Christmas Cookie Rules

1. If you eat a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven, it has no calories because everyone knows that the first cookie is the test and thus calorie free.

2. If you drink a diet soda after eating your second cookie, it also has no calories because the diet soda cancels out the cookie calories.

3. If a friend comes over while you're making your Christmas cookies and needs to sample, you must sample with your friend. Because your friend's first cookie is calories free, rule #1 is yours also. It would be rude to let your friend sample alone and, being the friend that you are, that makes your cookie calorie free.

4. Any cookie calories consumed while walking around will fall to your feet and eventually fall off as you move. This is due to gravity and the density of the caloric mass.

5. Any calories consumed during the frosting of the Christmas cookies will be used up because it takes many calories to lick excess frosting from a knife without cutting your tongue.

6. Cookies colored red or green have very few calories. Red ones have three and green ones have five - one calorie for each letter. Make more red ones!

7. Cookies eaten while watching "Miracle on 34th Street" have no calories because they are part of the entertainment package and not part of one's personal fuel.

8. As always, cookie pieces contain no calories because the process of breaking causes calorie leakage.

9. Any cookies consumed from someone else's plate have no calories since the calories rightfully belong to the other person and will cling to their plate. We all know how calories like to CLING!

10. Any cookies consumed while feeling stressed have no calories because cookies used for medicinal purposes NEVER have calories. It's a rule

Holy Cow...More snow

roof tops

Look in that backyard...it is sticking

Videos of lil Ed in the snow

It's Snowing...in Las Vegas

It is snowing here right now! Lil Ed and I went out to play Up close...He loves to see the picture right after I take it so sometimes he doesn't let me take it first.

SO EXCITING!!!! He is jumping out there

mommy look...snow.

How fun. It isn't sticking though. ah well.

Could this be our new house?

Oh, I hope so!!

So Ed is going tomorrow to find us a house! He had meetings all week and has tomorrow to check things out. I sure miss him when he is out of town. :( I got our boxes yesterday now my house is torn all apart. Pictures off the walls, Lil eds toys going in boxes for DI and boxes of stuff he is taking with him. We got our moving estimate today...Yikes! Oh, I talked to Ed a bit ago and it is SNOWING in Houston. Who knew?!

The wait is over...

...Houston here we come!

The wait is over...

...Houston here we come!

Punkin carving and Halloween

When daddy is away.

Last week ed went to dinner and to hang out with Heidi and her new beau and Melissa and don and cowie. Lil ed and I stayed at home. Camera time is fun! What funny faces.

While mommy wasn't looking

This little guy cracks me up. He got into my makeup and found a sample lipstick. I said 'lil ed what do you have on your face?' and he said 'makeup. pretty' Yes, Ed was a little disturbed that his son was so proud of his makeover. Heh.

Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday Ed, Lil Ed and I went to Irvine Park Railroad to a pumpkin patch. This is lil ed sleeping on the car ride there.


Lil ed eating burger fries and coke...and there were Bees everywhere!!!
This is lil ed dancing when he was done eating.
Ed and lil ed went and looked at those pony's back there. He could have ridden but he is just too small still.

Waiting in line for the train ride

The CHOO CHOO!
we were just taking off for a train ride around the park.

lil ed looking for the perfect pumpkin. There were areas of pumpkins all about. He ran from area to area trying to pick up pumpkins

This one was heavy
he decided he needed a rest.


and some ice cream!!! (again there were bees!)

The hay maze lil ed seemed to have a blast in here! He found daddy!!
and caught him!!

the perfect pumpkins
For dinner we decided to go to The Rain Forest Cafe. Lil ed loved the fishies, But was scared in the restaurant. The monkey freaked him out. We ate dinner with him on my lap and then on eds and he didn't even eat his food cause he was too scared. :(
