I don't listen to a word they say

With the passing of the King, mixed feelings have gone through a lot of people including myself. I, too, have heard and joined in on a of few jokes about how the creepy pedophile is gone and that he will have to be recycled since he's 80% plastic, but, all joking aside, he was still a person. A person who had talent for singing and, especially, dancing. He had some great talent even back in the days that he sang with Jackie, Tito, Jermaine and Marlon. Man, I still wish I could moonwalk like he could.

Speaking of moonwalking, there was once a video game that was made after his famous dance move. To honor the passing of this great singer/dancer I've decided to share the commercial for Michael Jackson's Moonwalker with all of you. Some of you might think that I'm mocking his death with this video, in fact it's the opposite. Hopefully most of you know of my likeing to video games and I feel that this is best way that I can honor him. I'm even thinking of downloading this on an emulator.

Like Father, Like Daughter

How proud can a mother be of her nearly 16 month old?


You tell me.
(No, she is not actually playing. Alex isn't even playing, they are watching other people play but Hailey wanted in on the action. AND it's Mario Kart Wii, which we own now.)

Just in case you didn't know

Happy engagement Tio Estaban and Amanda!
They got engaged June 18, I'm just a little behind.:)

HAPPY FATHERS' DAY!

I am grateful to have such a great Husband, to be such a great daddy to Hailey. I am also grateful for my own father and father-in-law, for all of the love and support they both show us. I am truly blessed to have such great men in my life. Happy Fathers Day!

I'm currently obsessed with...

Pandora Radio.
Go check it out. Hailey loves the Alan Menken Station we created. Alex and I listen to it a lot. In fact right now I'm listening to the Billy Joel station.

Carrie's Inspiration

In no way do I post this video to compete with Carrie's post of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" literal version (super funny, by the way). I've known of another video for a while and I realized that if you enjoyed Carrie's post you just might enjoy this.
(p.s. sorry about the couple of swears)

15 months!

Hailey hit 15 months yesterday but I was so overcome with excitement for the saved by the bell clip that I forgot to blog it. That probablly makes me a bad mom. I am trying to think of her new milestones but I am having a hard time remembering what was this month and what was the month before. Time has been a serious jumble ever since I got this cough that I have had for FOUR weeks now. ANYway, the milestones I can think of off hand are:
-She now can show you and name her nose, head, mouth, eyes, ears, elbow, bum, feet, toes, and belly button.
-She's up to over 50 words that she uses frequently and knows what they mean.
-She can say all of the colors but she doesn't know them by sight yet. We are working on it.
-She signs please, thank you, I love you, more, and milk.
-She has learned a few more animal sounds.
-Sadly, she has started climbing.
-She loves to dance, sing, read, go for walks, jump on the trampoline, eat, mimic sound, play with other kids, blow kisses, play peek a boo, (or as she calls it, "peek a ba!") wink, take baths, color, dance on the table, play with dry beans, and playing in her ten.
-She does not like to be taken off of the trampoline, be woken up early, or be carried by anyone. (she wants to , "walka walka")
