great christmas gift ideas....

what great gifts... i found this on the United States Fund (unicef) website... they have some different gift ideas.... and this is one that i loved!!! a memory game of childrens faces from around the world... what a great thing for children...

... they also have some really fun stationary... i love cards, i always love to have fun and different cards around for when i need them... look at these ones... they are called "mexican doors"...

check it out, they have a bunch of different stuff that is so cute... you can buy from the website or go to the stores that offer unicef stuff... ikea, pier one... ect...

unicef...

... what?

... who?

english hothouse cucumber...

"Your baby now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber), from head to heel." babycenter.com

i had no idea what the difference was from a ordinary regular cucumber to an english hothouse cucumber... so here they are...

...96 days left... crazy how time flys huh...

some people said...

two new places i want to try...

first... TICOZ.... has anybody eaten there? ...a review i read used the words "latin fusion" to describe the food... the people that were telling me about it said that they have awesome "guacammus"... hummus and guacamole mixed... does that not sound amazing! next time we are in phx i want to check it out!!! it is on camelback and 13th... anybody up for it?

watch this clip and then you will definitly want to go there... or am i just really hungry right now... what is ticoz...

and then there is FEZ ... a middle eastern food restuarant that is owned by the same people... i found FEZ while looking up TICOZ... but i now i want to go to both places... brent and i love middle eastern food... yum!!!

baby stuff...

brent and i finally found a stroller after many hours of searching! we just ordered the maclaren techno xrl 2007 in tan and crimson and i cant wait to get it... for anyone else looking for baby stuff i would check albeebaby.com , babycenter.com and csnbaby.com... they have the best deals i have found so far! plus there is free shipping at all three of these, but be careful on babycenter... sometimes they have a fee that is added last minute for oversized shipping... oh, and we found our crib (without this bedding) on csnbaby too...

i guess i am picky when it comes to baby/crib bedding... this is the only set that i have found that i like... target.com

that is my most favorite... and this is one that i dont mind... same thing but different color... but i love the black and white so much more!!!

i also love looking at all the fun stuff they have posted on tangled and true... here are a few fun things...

crib bedding by Supernatural Baby

this is their urban collection bedding... and here is their diaper clutch to match...

and i just love these...

Chittypulga knit donuts... so cute...

and here is a puj sling...

simmer sauce...

i tried a new "simmer sauce" today and both of us loved it! i miss not having trader joes, sprouts, whole foods... ect... here, but this is one item that i bought while in the states not too long ago... so good! i just put chicken breasts in the crock pot then poured this sauce over top and went to work... we came home to some great chicken... all i had to do was shred the chicken and buy the tortillas and avacados... maybe tomorrow we will have some for lunch with black beans and rice!

oh.... and.... she is finally gone!!!! brents favorite billboard picture! the old lady that is coming out of the chilis ... so... now if you want to remember her, it will only be on our blog, i think it was the very first post i ever did.... haha...

fun kit

deodorant? check

minty gum...? check

rubbers?.... check

All you need for a night out on the prowl. I love these Mexican ofertas. The other day we saw one at the local grocery that had a combo of mayonaise and hot chocolate mix. Mayonaise always pushes products. Keep an eye out for the mayo, rubber mix.

thanksgiving...

of course i didnt take one picture (but marla did)... but we were in mesa to celebrate with family!!!

oh... and best of all... yes... we found out we are having a boy! we are both so very excited and cant wait....

this is the first thing i bought, but gap just emailed me and said, "we regret to inform you that we no longer have this item in stock and will be refunding you the full amount" i was so bummed out.... i loved this vest and it was only 9.99... uggg....

we hope everyone had a wonderful thanksgiving! and happy holidays!
