pooooooooooooooooooo

something to laugh about... something to write about...

so last friday i was doing a colorization for some clients that are interested in buying a house here...
i have never met them...
and i sent them an emailed with the subject line "pooooooooooooooooooo"...
how did i do this you ask... well brent and i play jokes on each other all the time, writing different things in the subject line... however this particular time i was so tired and ready to be done working that i completely forgot to change the forwarded message subject line from "poooooooooo" to something a little more professional.
i am sure they are very excited to meet me now. haha....

happy friday!!!

love thursday... 2 months... the many faces of me...

i like to call this the many faces of jones... he makes such funny faces sometimes, i wish i could capture them all... here are a few....





jones is now two months old... he is smiling so much and last wednesday... he no longer fit in some of his clothes. i know that this is supposed to happen, but it was a bitter/sweet moment... our little boy is already growing up.
oh... and he finally had his first hair cut last friday... doesnt he look so much older... i think he does!
the funniest part about his hair cut is that the hair on the back of his head is now the same length as the top... i did not have to take anything off the top to blend it with the back... no more mullet hair for jones.

the strangest conversation of the day: a random worker walks past me while i was waiting for the others to get off a ride that jones was too young for and strikes up a conversation saying,
worker: "wow, how old is your child"... me:"six weeks"... worker:"oh"... me: silence... worker: "and your other children, your sons or daughters?"... me: silence and confusion..."this is my only child"... worker: "oh, you are very brave"... then about 15 minutes later she comes back... worker: "you are still here"... me: "yep, waiting for the family to get off the ride"... worker: "oh, ok"... random...




...and... i cant leave disneyland without getting my fortune read by the famous esmeralda...

fools day


we hope everyone is having a most happy april fools day!!!

the last few days...


jones has experienced a lot the last few days...

...he is one month old today... yeah... he had his first doctors appointment just a week ago and was a whole pound and a half more and 3 centimeters longer making him 8 lbs and 20 1/2 inches.


there is a hill right behind our neighborhood that we have been wanting to hike and saturday was the day... he loved it and was very content to be in the sling that i had bought...






...last night for part of our family home evening we tried out his stroller... and he loved it... he was wide awake taking in everything at first... then quickly feel asleep from the ride...


... and today... jones is finally and officially a registered born mexican baby... what a process... you have to have copies of proof of identification, two witnesses must be present and sign the birth certificate (and they must be mexican citizens), a copy of your marriage license and finally the hospital issued birth certificate (this is different from the actual birth certificate).
here he is getting his finger print taken....



tomorrow we have an appointment so jones can officially be recognized as an american and have dual citizenship.
