Christmas Day with the Haydons

We got home fairly late from Trevor’s parents house on Christmas Eve, so I was the first one to awake at 7:30 a.m.  We got up and ready as quickly as possible, but didn’t arrive at my parents house in Ukiah until almost 10:30 a.m. Our traditional breakfast of scrambled eggs with cheese and little […]

Christmas Eve with the Smiths

As is tradition with Trevor’s family, the main part of the Christmas celebrations takes place on Christmas Eve evening.  So, we arrived after the girls napped, around 4:30pm.  We had delicious dinner together followed by a CRAZY time of opening presents.  🙂 It has already become a blur to me.  I remember the MANY presents […]

Christmas Eve Afternoon

After opening our presents, and while Daddy and the girls were outside playing, UPS delivered Trevor’s last little gift.  It was perfect as we each still had one present to open.  His present was a bag with a little note in it saying what was supposed to arrive.  However, I was able to swap it […]

Christmas Eve Morning 2010

We decided this year to start celebrating Christmas with just our little family at a separate time from extended family. Trevor had Christmas Eve off, so I chose to work a different day of the week instead. We celebrated on Christmas Eve morning the way my family always has on Christmas morning. I stayed up […]

2010 Christmas Wish Lists

As requested, I am finally posting our family wish lists.  I have posted mostly clothing for the girls.  I figure most of you know what the girls are interested in these days.  Ama loves babies, ballerinas/ballet, princesses (No need to go overboard with Disney princess stuff.), fancy clothes and shoes, Bibles, purple is her favorite […]

If They Ever Decide Coconut Is Bad For Your Heath…

We would be in trouble. As I was showering and shampooing my hair, I began thinking about how much coconut oil is used in my and my family’s life. For infants, Vitamin D is often suspended in coconut oil because allergies are rare. We all take a few drops of Vitamin D, if we did not get […]

Adeliza Goes Potty

Adi has been so wanting to wear underwear like Ama. She loves to sit on the potty and wipe, but has never gone pee. I’ve told her many times that once she goes potty on the toilet, she can wear underwear. Well, today she did go pee. Ama and I cheered and hugged – so […]

iPhone Saga: Exploration and Resolution

So many (including Apple’s warrenty) would say liquids and electronics do not mix,  but I beg to differ. Sure, coffee has fried my PowerBook’s logic board. But I felt confident that if I allowed the acetone evaporate no harm would come to my iPhone. I till hold that statement to be true, unfortunately in this […]

iPhone Saga: A Calamity of Errors

We recently purchase a new (used) van, which as it turns out is two years older then our now second car. Our second car has a wonderful feature of having a dock connect for our iPhones integrated. The best our van has is an auxiliary in. An auxiliary cable will leave the iPhone headphone jack […]

Ear Infection

So, I have learned a few things with the first ear infection, that I remember getting. 1. SuperBugs are not joke, transmitted by Docs, kill more than AIDS, and were launched through misuse of antibiotics particularly for ear infections. 2. Vinegar is not only good to drink, but cleans the ear. Applied with 50% rubbing […]

Baby Girl #3: Why the name Avalina Lola?

So, as most of you know, Trevor and I take our time naming our children.  We put a lot of thought into it for many reasons.  We want our child to have a name that has significant meaning as well as familial significance.  With Amabella and Adeliza we waited until they were born to make […]

Happy Father’s Day, I love You!

6/20/10 Dear Trevor, Happy Father’s Day!  I love you!  You really are a great father to our girls and I have been impressed by that since the moment we had Amabella (if not sooner). When I think of what I appreciate about you, a lot comes to mind.  When I think of why I love […]

Ship Adrift, Sails Full (Rudderly Ridiculous)

When our love was first sprung forth, we were young, independent and buoyed to explore the world in her entirety. Your partnering up with me, whether those ambitions were yours or you just enjoyed my company I enjoyed yours and the adventures of love sailed me. But now that you are the mother of my […]

This Last Saturday (soccer, skeet, and poker)

When I use a day of vacation time I set out to get my money’s worth. So on Thursday I wrote out an itinerary of what I planned for this Saturday, not entirely convinced I would actually get to them. It would only have improved upon, but far for disappointing and activities saw action. The […]
