My Ken Doll

For last night’s date night we had planned to go to Disneyland, but with some upcoming things for Kevin’s work, we had to do some shopping instead. My husband was my personal Ken doll and let me play dress-up with him last night. He must have tried on almost a dozen pairs of pants. Then, even after we got home, I made him try on more things.

(This was the first Ken I had as a little girl)

All and all he made out pretty well and practically got a wardrobe overhaul. We bought 2 polo’s, a pair of khakis, a pair of cargo pants, 2 pairs of dress slacks, 5 dress shirts, gym socks, dress socks, undershirts, boxers, and a new pair of flip-flops! And all for a fairly good price, too. Thank you, J.C. Penny. He was so patient with me as I made him try on different styles and colors and combinations of outfits.

It was a good date though; we had Chipotle and See’s Candy. Mmmmm.

Brendan's First Birthday

I can't believe it's been a year. I remember heading to the hospital and waiting for him to come. Then there was the scare when he got so sick while being so small. But today you would never know.

Here he is with his first cupcake.

He really only wanted the frosting.

Wearing his fun-fetti goatee


Here is Brendan holding up his pointer finger to show how old he is.

But after everything was over we had a meltdown.

Happy First Birthday Brendan!

Raining Red Sox

So it wasn't raining Red Sox and much as it was raining on the Red Sox.

When Kevin was sent to Boston a couple of weeks ago for work I tagged along. We stayed out at Hanscom AFB outside Boston, but had a wonderful time. On Sunday, June 21 we saw the Red Sox beat the Braves in the rain. It wasn't quite as cold as Chicago and our seats we were protected from the rain. Tickets are hard to come by but we found an okay bargain on ebay. We sat in the old wooden seats and just soaked up the glory of this historic park. Bostonians are boisterous, but were very nice just the same. We met some very nice people on the T on the way to the park, and chatted it up with the Canadians-turned-New Englanders in front of us.

It was a great game and a wonderful ball park.
