Happy Birthday, Mark!

Happy birthday to my wonderful husband! You are the love of my life and I love you more and more every day!

My Cute Triplet Nephews!

Here's Gage, Alec, and Colin on their first birthday:

300th Post...

So I have been doing this blog thing for almost 3 years, on and off. I was getting ready to put up a post and saw that the next post would be #300... AWESOME! That's a Blogger milestone of some sort, I think! Do I get an award? Does it really matter? Is someone really out there reading this stuff? Who knows... and who cares... I just love posting pictures and stories about my life and my family's life, so Shayna has a better insight about her early years.
































Today, we met Josh, Mindy, Baby Joey, and my mom at the L.A. Zoo. I usually take Shayna to the zoo during the week, but Mark has never been there, so we decided to go... on... a.... Sunday. It was pretty much wall-to-wall people. I figured that most would be home watching the NFL playoffs or NCAA men's basketball, but, noooooo, we had to have 80 degree weather and EVERYONE wanted to enjoy it! Seriously, Los Angeles needs a pro football team! This is ridiculous! Anyways, we made our way around the Zoo on the Tram... twice... it was fun! We saw a variety of animals so it turned out to be a great day with the family!

Shopping and a David Lee Roth Quote...

You would never know by looking at me, that I actually love to shop, since I own 4 pairs of the same exact jeans. Last month I was contacted by a company to check out two stores. I rec'd gift cards in the mail - two $25 gift cards - one for TJ Maxx and the other for Marshalls. I love shopping at these stores because I can buy name brand items at half the department store cost!

I am continuing on with my "get into shape" kick, which I started last June (30 lbs ago), so I needed some new athletic apparel. I bought 2 items at each store with my gift cards!!! How cool is that? I was going to take a picture of my fashionable gym garments, but they are in the laundry basket, which makes me feel good because I'm an exercising freak! I've got my 5k on Super Bowl Sunday to get ready for. OMG, I'm going to quote David Lee Roth, "It doesn't matter if you win or lose, it's how good you looked!"
