As I may have mentioned, Thelma is taking ice skating lessons and cannot get enough of it. She wants to go at every opportunity and likes to get there early so she can maximize ice time. We went for a private lesson today to prepare for a competition that is coming up. She had her [...]

SOCCER TIME: First Soccer Practice for Spring!
By Jane on March 11, 2011
It’s that time of the year and Thelma couldn’t be more excited. It’s SOCCER TIME! I take Thelma to her first soccer practice for the season. I opt to watch from my car today because I forgot my chair. And, today is crazy windy and cold. Plus, to keep myself entertained, I brought along a [...]

Dick went up on our roof the other day and I was pretty jealous. You may remember I’m up here from time to time blowing the leaves off our roof. Sadly, I’m currently not allowed to go up there. Not that my off-kilter, unbalanced preggar self would dare try this right now. I can hardly [...]

Huge fluffy snowflakes hit Metropolis!
By Jane on January 6, 2011
Out of nowhere and unexpectedly, Metropolis was hit with a HUGE, FLUFFY snow. The girls were so excited since we missed the big snow last year. Snowflakes the size of half-dollar coins were falling down on us like drops from Heaven. Not a great picture but this is the view when you look up. It [...]

Crazy Clothes Day at our Homeschool Co-op
By Jane on February 11, 2010
Our Homeschool Co-op always has fun things that we do. This time, it’s crazy clothes day. One day, Louise comes over to me and tells me that crazy clothes day is coming up and she can’t think of anything to wear. She complains that she never wins any of the fun day competitions. I tell [...]

Last day with cousins. Boo-hoo.
By Jane on June 7, 2010
It’s the last day with J Lo, Will and Carlton and we have had such a great time with them here. It’s always hard when people visit me and then they leave. You get used to having them around and it’s always supersad to see them go.

The Lexus is in need of new tires but I don’t want to buy brand new tires for a car I don’t plan to keep. Dick then remembers the place he would go to for tires back when I was in college….Reasonable Ron’s. Ron’s is on the “other” side of town and Dick described it as being run by a bunch of “biker dudes”.
Thelma writes Daddy a sweet note before he leaves town.
By Jane on September 22, 2010
Before Dick left to go out of town the other day, Thelma decides to write her Daddy a note and puts it in his bag before he leaves. Be careful? Upon closer inspection… Ahhhh, yessssss… She’s referring to the MOST UNFORTUNATE accident which has caused his 3-ball situation. Don’t mistake this with “THE SITUATION” from [...]

Louise Helps Grandma with the Dishes
By Jane on November 8, 2009
So we’re at the Grandparents house. I love coming here because there is always great Vietnamese food, compliments of my fantastic cooking Dad! Yes, my dad kicks ass at Vietnamese cooking. It’s the reason why I don’t cook alot of Vietnamese food at home. Since I live less than a mile away, it’s just too convenient for me to come [...]

WARNING! Smoking causes impotence, y’all!
By Jane on November 5, 2009
I lived in Canada for about 9 months in one of the best cities in the world…TORONTO. Because it’s Canada and they have massive taxes for everything, cigarettes are no different. I was shocked when I was there about a year ago and a pack cost $10. When I lived there almost 10 years ago, [...]

Depreciation is a bitch. I will never buy a brand new car again.
By Jane on February 10, 2010
Because we have somehow found ourselves to be running a car business, our ride changes constantly. It’s awesome because I get to drive all different kinds of cars and figure them out. Keeps my brain working since I have to remember how to release the trunk, how to turn on the windshield wipers, and how [...]

Getting Out Tea Stains with Oxy Clean
By Jane on February 15, 2010
We’re Persian, so we drink a lot of Persian Black Tea. We like to drink it hot and iced. My container for the iced tea is stained pretty badly. But, it’s impossible to clean and is only getting worse. How do I scrub this out with a sponge? I’ve tried and it doesn’t work! OXY CLEAN [...]

Your Daily Benz: Muscular Benz.
By Jane on January 15, 2012
Benz loves to stand and climb and gets quite the leg workout these days. He even goes so far as to stand on this tippy-toes. This is not ballet! Check out those swexy muscular calves! Daddy’s hoping these are soccer calves. -Jane, Mommy to Muscular Benz.

Recycling things I already have to accessorize the room.
By Jane on March 9, 2010
Most of the stuff I’m using to accessorize is stuff I already have. Like on some of those decorating shows on HGTV (I love those!) I decide to use stuff that is around my house because I have plenty. You remember I painted the tray. The picture is of Dick’s late Grandmother. The candles came [...]

Taking Benz outside for some Vitamin D.
By Jane on June 2, 2011
At only 5 days old, the sun was out and so I decided to take my sweet Benz out so he could get some Vitamin D. OMG, words can’t even describe how in love I am with this little guy. So dang sweet… He’s just tiny! Only 5 lbs 8 oz because breast-fed babies tend [...]

Toddler days: Fighting over a banana? And a kiss from a boy…Uh oh.
By Jane on November 8, 2009
I just found these old pics of when we were in Toronto visiting family and friends. The girls are probably about 3 and 4.5 yrs of age. They are so chubby and cute. Gosh I miss their baby fat.

Benz’s Bunz are the Best…a booty call I’m down for!
By Jane on December 11, 2011
Because the baby age flies by, I wanted to try to capture some of Benz’s nooks, crannies, rolls so that we could somewhat “preserve” this age. The softest part of his skin is his back and stomach. It’s so velvety soft. One of my favorite parts of his body is his neck. You may even [...]
