Glasses update

I took Shay to the opthamologist again yesterday and since his eyes are still completely straight, no crossing or wandering, he is going to hold off a while before he puts him in glasses.  He did say that he still will definitely need them, but because his eyes are straight and he is so young it won't hurt to wait a little while.  We will re-evaluate in 3 months or sooner if they start crossing,  :)  Wish the news was "I was wrong, your son has perfect eyes..."  Ha ha, but alas...no.

Merry Christmas!

Too much computer time...

This is what happens when mom spends too much time on the computer......I took the hint. :)

Family

I am not very good at taking pictures when there are major holidays (such as Thanksgiving), but I did manage to snap a few a couple days before when my entire family (minus my little brother) got together. My sister was in town from AZ. 

These are ALL the cousin's on my side of the family (minus Shay who is being held by someone elsewhere)

there he is!

man you are lookin' hot!  LOL

I think my brother is going bald...

My Inspired Project

So I know I said I was going to paint my mirror first, but I got side tracked.  Here is the before, during and after photos of my new office chair!  total cost, about $25.  ($20 DI chair plus the cost of paint).  I am calling this my Cowboy Chair.

Inspired

I am so inspired right now....I think some of my furniture may be undergoing a transformation soon.  Check out this site http://www.allthingsthrifty.com/  (thanks Julie for the tip!)

First thing I am going to copy cat is this bad boy...although my mirror is totally different, the technique and color is perfect! Stay tuned, I will post before and after pics.

Eye Candy

Watch out world...pretty soon my adorable baby boy will be sporting some of these.

Turns out his eye dialation thing is fairly common, both eyes don't dialate the same because they are trying to compensate for not being able to see very well (see post below for pic). Turns out he is extremely far-sighted.   Basically he can't see things up close as well. 

Far-sightedness runs on my side of the family and poor Shay got the luck of the draw in our family I suppose.  He should be in glasses within a couple of months, so make sure to tell me how adorable he looks. :)

Halloween 2010

Baby Shay - 5 months

Happiest Place on Earth

A few quick pictures of our trip to Disneyland!  It is the happiest place on earth right?  Can I go back today?

Gotta love the teacups!

Cotton candy anyone?

Carter wanted NOTHING to do with any characters, I was sad, but this is as close as it got...

Tuckered out

Chris and Brady went on this ride 4 times - got soaking wet!

I honestly think this was Carter's favorite ride - The Golden Zepher at California Adventure

Carter is there by grandma...you just can't see him :(

The Tower of Terror in the background - Chris said "never again"  hee hee

The World of Color light and water show was pretty amazing

It's a small world....
