Cute, Cute, Cute




I had to take Duncan to the eye Dr in Scottsdale today and it was horrible. Waited an hour then had to wait another 20 min for Dr. then he decided to dilate Duncan's eyes and that was another 25 min wait all for him to see him for 5 min and say that he doesn't need glasses yet. Oh, and Duncan who isn't 2 yet yelled and screamed the whole time because he wanted to get into things he couldn't have. So a 9am Dr. apt ended at 11am. Yeah for me. So to relax we went over to Kierland. I like to go here and window shop and as we walked around I noticed these topiaries. They were all over and oh my goodness- So CUTE!

Fun Lunch

Chloe's Corner is Yummy! I had a chicken salad sandwich and it was de-lis-ous! They have a tone of sandwiches, hot and cold, soups, salads and they have breakfast. They also have food packaged if you need to dash in and go. So cute and good food.

Duncan had a grilled cheese. I took a bite and it was good. Oh, Chloe's Corner is at Kierland.

A trip to the Zoo

Two weeks ago Duncan and I went to the Phx Zoo with his cousins and friends. Heather brought Ava and Addie and we met Donna, Jon and Olivia there. We had a lot of fun. The kids really liked the Merry Go Round.


Can you see Addie? She has the back seat.

Guess what book came out this week?


That's right, the 4th book in this series came out. I just started it and it is good so far. Yes, I am a closet geek, but lets keep that between us.

Whose the Leader of the Club


That's made for you and me,
M-i-c-k-e-y M-o-u-s-e, that's who!!
We got the most important part of our trip planned-the hotel. Very excited that I used Priceline for the first time, I just hope all goes smoothly when we go check in. It was a great deal and the hotel is across the street!!
Can you tell I'm excited? I keep thinking, "I hope 3 days is enough." It will be, I remember last year saying that 4 days was too many, but Duncan was crawling and that was the biggest pain. He kept crying to get down. That boy only likes to be held for a certain amount of time and then he wants to walk, or crawl last year. My mom and dad are coming too so that will be a lot of fun. I wonder how long I can get away with calling this his birthday gift? Maybe he won't get wise to it, but he is a smart boy.

Must read if a Disney fan!





If you are a Disney fan, you need to-NO! You must read these books. The stories are set in Florida at Walt Disney World, and at first I didn't want to read them because I have never been there, but it won't matter once you start reading.
The Plot is that five kids have been hired to be digital guides in the Magic Kingdom and then discover that their job is much more than what they had thought. They must help stop the Overtakers, a group of villainous Disney ride characters lead by Maleficent, from taking over the Magic Kingdom.
Each book picks up after the next, so you will want to get all three, all in paper back now. The fourth book comes out in April and there is a fifth coming out in the future. These are easy reads, about 4-5th grade level.





Sing along and along and along and along. . .

I bought this DVD when I found out I was pregnant with Duncan. I think one of my nieces or nephews had it and it was cute. I found it the other day and thought Duncan might like it so I put it in and guess what? He didn't like it- HE LOVED IT!!! He wants to watch it all the time though. It doesn't really bother me because I have a high tolerance level for stuff like that. I used to watch movies over and over and over again when I was younger. Its cute because he really loves Mickey and Goofy (funny side note, he saw Goofy and said,"Dada" yes Dada is goofy) and the Haunted Mansion part does not scare him.

We are taking him to Disneyland in May for his Birthday and because we desperately need a vacation. Is it bad that I am already planning for it. Let's just call it being well prepared. I'm hoping that by showing him the dvd he will find it familiar.
