Knee Issues

In 2000 I had knee surgery on my left knee, and in 2001 I had knee surgery on my right knee. My right knee is still doing good, but for the past month or so I've been having some knee issues with my left knee. Where it just hurts constantly! Now I'm to the point where I'm taking tylenol in the morning, and right before bed for it )o: It feel JUST like it did before I had my first surgery! )o: So now I'm getting worried that I'll need another surgery on my left knee! It would be so much harder this time around! Being that I have a very active 2 year old to run after and all. Oh well, I made an orthopedic appointment for next week, so I'll just have to wait and see what they say!

Camping trip!

So we went camping this past weekend. It was so fun! (o: I love when David's family comes and visits! Even if Mark (David's dad) cheats and gives my HUGE winnings in blackjack to David because he lost all of his money! LOL We had a lot of fun! We were a little worried about the rain, or threat of rain. Last time we went camping it rained off and on all weekend, it was not as fun! But it never ended up raining. It did sprinkle like twice, but no biggie. It was pretty hot, so we decided to go to the River they had there. The water was soooo cold, and felt so nice to wash the sweat off lol Then I thought about it, and decided we needed to shower since that was probably everyone else's idea too! LOL So the water (even though it was running) was probably nasty! LOL We played games, and talked, and just had fun enjoying each other's company! My parents, sister Jenniffer, brother Mario, his girl friend Becky and 2 daughters Melina (9) and Katia (6), Mark and Sue (David's parents), Sam, her two kids, Edelweiss (5), and Godzilla (2), David, me and Alex (2) all went! It was fun! Thank you everyone for coming!!!!!!! Now for the pictures!!

I did it!!

So for the longest time I've been wanting to do something different with my hair for a long time now. I've been way chicken to do anything, so every time I go to the salon I end up just getting my hair cut the same wayLOL So Jenniffer and I decided to go for it and get it done lol So on Friday we went to Fantastic Sams, and got hair cuts and highlights! I love it! LOL





Oh well I guess you can really tell in these pictures! I'll have to take better ones later! (o:

Adventures of a 2 year old

I have been spending day and night with my overly active 2 year old the past few weeks, and let me tell you! We've had our share of adventures!

One day I was working on the yearbook in my dinning area, and noticed that Alex had something in his mouth. He was chomping away at something! I was like "What the heck did this kid find! Nasty!" so I asked him, "What do you have in your mouth?" and he told me "Blue cookie! Yum!" I was like "Gross where did he stash that cookie!! EWW!" And since he had already eaten it, I went about my business. Then like 5 seconds later I heard him chomping away again! So I kept my eye on him, and then I saw him go to the entertainment center, and pull out a little purple bowl and take a cookie out and shove it back in really fast! LOL I was like "What the heck!?! He has a snack stash?!?" LOL So when he went down for a badly needed nap, I took it out and saw crackers, and cookies, and chips and all sorts of snacks in it LOL They were stale I'm sure, so I threw his stash away! He hasnt noticed, and or said anything about the missing snacks yet! So maybe he hasn't needed a snack yet LOL Oh well!

A few days later I couldnt find my shoes! Like ANY of my shoes! I was like "What the hell happened to my shoes?!?" I was about to call David when I saw them thrown down the balcony on the stairs! UGH!!!

I had to keep replacing the toilet paper upstairs and didn't know why! I thought "Man, David has some bathroom issues this week!" LOL Then one day I heard giggiling from the bathroom, and there was my sweet boy flushing the toilet and watching the toilet paper unroll itself as the water went down! UGH! LOL Figures!

Yesterday I went to grab some chicken out of our freezer in the garage while I was talking on the phone with David, and I slammed into the door! I was like "Oh crap I locked the door!" then I hear Giggle giggle giggle "Mama?!" LOL Little jerk locked me out in the garage! He thought it was pretty HILARIOUS until he realized he was ALONE in the house! LOL So then he started to freak out! I thought I was going to have to try out our new doggie door and climb back into the house! LOL He finally was able to unlock the door and let me back in. David was rushing home because he heard Alex crying and me trying to get into the house! LOL Man the garage is a hot place to hang out in for 15 minutes LOL should have stood outside the freezer with the door open!

Later on yesterday that little menace decided he was going to hang out in the front yard throwing rocks at the bushes. Only thing is that I was washing dishes and he escaped LOL he unlocked the door and went outside. I thought he was playing in the front living room. He was being too quiet so I went to check on him, lol Then the front door was wide open and he was throwing rocks LOL So David put the child sensors back on the door. lol They let you know what door is opened so we could hear when he decides its time to play outside! LOL

Today he kept opening the door and telling me "Bye Mama!" LOL Little nerd!

So I've decided to put him on ebay! (o:

Who wouldn't want this cute boy? LOL

I suck at this blogging business lately!

My home PC has spyware! )o: So I can't even use my computer! I'm so frustrated with it! David thinks he's going to have to wipe everything out of my computer since he has no clue where to start looking for the spyware download! )o: Good thing this has happened to me once before and I thought ahead and got a portable hard drive, and put all of my pictures, and documents on it. So besides being a pain in the butt for David, I wont need to worry about loosing 7 years worth of pictures! YEY. Hopefully he doesn't need to do that, but if he does then it's ok.

We're going camping this weekend. David parent's and his sister Sam and her 2 kids are thinking about coming. They have already said they will come, but David doesn't believe it until they are actually here already! So we'll have to wait and see what they decide! My parents, sister Jenniffer, Mario and his family will be there too! It will be fun! I used to hate camping, but it's getting better now that we have more camping stuff lol

Customer Service

Sony definitely has the best customer service ever! We have a DVD player for our car for Alex when we go on long road trips. We haven't even had it for a year yet, and its been acting up! So I called Sony yesterday to see if I could send it back for a replacement or so they could fix it. So apparently they don't make that model anymore! )o: But since it was still under warranty the rep. told me she could replace it for another kind of portable DVD player FREE!!!!!!! I was so excited! So she sent me a website while I was on the phone with her, and I was able to pick a new one! I got Alex a "cooler" one! Since we're going camping next weekend, and my friend Brenda has a DVD player for each of her girls (last time they didn't want to share with Alex), I was excited that he could have his own if he wanted to watch TV! (o: Anyways and the best part is that the DVD Player JUST got here right now!!!!!!!!!! I mean I just talked to the rep from Sony yesterday morning!!!! Sony is awesome!!!!!
