Woo Hoo!!!

Yay for G.N.O. That's for you Erin. So I'm pretty stink'in excited to go make a complete fool of myself as I attempt to rock climb. Some girls night out huh? My left arm is "Wonder Woman" strong from hauling Liv around all the time, but I know that my right arm is gonna let me down. All well, at least I have dinner after to look forward to. Thank you Woodland Park girls for including a friendless me to play with you. So good luck to me, Erin Hoy, Christy Lalanne, and Collette Guerrero who, rumor has it, may not be climbing anything.For anyone who hasn't seen, this is my brother Stevens new baby Rainn.

A Whole Apple!

I forgot to put the daily picture of my little Liv-e-bug in the last blog so here you go!

Lost Cake

Okay! Two years later! Sorry Erin. You ask your self "why apologise to just me Melinda?". Simple. You are the only one who reads this Erin. And that's your right, you created the dang thing. It is Thursday morning and i have just lost 2 1/2 days of my life to a cake. and have nothing to show for it. I am taking cake decorating classes and have been working on the most detailed cake yet and when i brought it home last night. . . you'll never guess. The camera battery was dead and the charger was and is nowhere to be found.( told you you'd never guess.) So what else was there to do than cut into it and eat it out of depression. i did take a picture with my camera so there is a blurry record of the thing. On to happier things. Olivia is so cute! And maybe you think to yourself "Melinda, you're just biased. She's your daughter.". And I say, you are wrong! Well, not about the daughter part, that's right, but about the cute part. She is the CUTEST! She is so happy and fun and silly and she takes her naps and goes to bed without a fight. She doesn't like her green veggies but what little kid does? (If yours does, don't tell me). she has got four little gopher teeth, her is hair is curly in the back and chances are pretty good that if she is awake, she is smiling.

'till next time. Melinda Hoy

SO I GUESS I AM OFFICIALLY A BLOGGER. HELLO TO ALL. I AM STILL TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW THIS WHOLE THING WORKS. I JUST FIGURED OUT FACE BOOK AFTER SIX MONTHS OF USING IT. I'M NOT INCREDIBLY COMPUTER SAVVY.

SHANE AND I ARE IN A CUTE LITTLE HOUSE IN VISTA THAT WAS BUILT IN 1954. THE FLOOR SQUEAKS, THE PIPES ARE OLD AND THERE IS NO AIR CONDITIONER BUT SOMEHOW I STILL LOVE IT. ITS ON 1/2 AN ACRE WITH A SMALL VEGETABLE GARDEN, MATURE TREES, A PLAY SET AND TWO GOOD SIZED LAWNS. THE YARD WAS THE DETERMINING FACTOR.

OLIVIA IS ALMOST ONE. JUST ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF TIL I CAN TURN THAT DUMB CAR SEAT AROUND. I THINK WE'RE GONNA HAVE A PARTY HERE SO IF ANYONE OUT THERE WANTS TO BE INVITED LET ME KNOW AND CHANCES ARE GOOD THAT YOU WILL BE.

SORRY ABOUT THE SHORTNESS AND AWKWARDNESS OF THIS FIRST POST. HOPE FULLY THINGS AROUND HERE WILL GET MORE EXCITING.
