Road Trip Like No Other

State Department just called - it's official - we are driving to Mexico!

Wow.

One Week Until...

Now you know me - I think of any reason to celebrate (remember Fat Tuesday?) but this year's 5th of May has special meaning to us since we are moving to Mexico in 2 months!!! I told Danny that I was going to reserve our table at Guapo's for the celebration but after finding a whole section of recipes dedicated to the day on Martha Stewart online I might just have to play chef and throw my own fiesta!

.

My favorites from the website:

Classic Mexican Guacamole (pictured)

Cilantro-Lime Rice

Grilled Corn with Chili Powder and Lime

Chicken Fajita Tostadas (healthy)

Chicken Enchiladas with Creamy Green Sauce

Check out the yummy recipies yourself: http://www.marthastewart.com/portal/site/mslo/menuitem.3e37788aa306c4df62fc95103373a0a0/?vgnextoid=9d83ef87aab09110VgnVCM1000003d370a0aRCRD&vgnextfmt=default

Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Husbands & Blogs

Today I received an e-mail from my dear Danny telling me that he had visited our (ok, really just my) blog. He has visited my blog maybe once before and only because I coaxed him onto the website myself. His e-mail of course reminded me of my blogs inadequacies. The following is a excerpt from his e-mail this morning - I was on the blog and noticed you spelled the word "trimester" wrong in the paragraph just above the ultra-sound pic of our prince or princess. Also, I voted on the poll for girl...there really aren't that many folks that have guessed (we aren't that popular I guess).

.

Do your husbands look at your blog? I have seen husbands who even post on the blogs! Wow, what a thought.

To my Danny, Welcome! I am just so happy that you are visiting my blog once again. Your visits mean so much to me as they have increased my blogs popularity (by 2 hits now!). Maybe you can help me by being my blogs personal spell checker. Think about all the ways I have helped you in the past (see photo below) and consider it won't you sweetie? Xoxo. haha

It Is A...

No not mine ... I won't find out until early May.

The Wolfgramm Family just found out they are having a baby boy! Congrats!!! I have known Mama Wolfgramm (aka Joanie) Since I was a little girl. She is due a month before me with her first - so exciting. I was guessing it was a boy and so was she... we were all right... Way to go! Now lets guess what I am having (see Jepordy question to the right). Although growing up I always thought I would have a boy first (you know everyone wants an older brother) I am now starting to second guess myself. Danny really thinks it's a girl. We don't really care what we have just as long as it does not come late! Haha!

All New Office Tonight!

All I wanted for my birthday was a new episode of The Office - NBC was too kinda to make my wish come true. All you Office lovers don't forget to tune in tonight 9 EST and fill the void that you have been harboring for months! Relief.

What is Yummy?

Haagen Dazs' vanilla honey & granola frozen yogurt
a sweet twist on a classic combination. delve into smooth vanilla frozen yogurt swirled with honey, followed by crunchy, wholesome granola clusters for a one-of-a-kind, all-natural treat.

I can't say enough about this stuff. It has active yogurt cultures and calcium too.

What Does This Picture Mean?

It means...

We are having a baby...in Mexico!

Doctor said my due date is October 8. Here is the little squirts first photo. I have entered the 2nd tirmester which makes excited to know that we can find out the gender soon. Danny and I are so thrilled to be expecting a little Juan or Juanita!

Sorry the picture is kinda blurry and small (click on it and it will get bigger) - I can't seem to work a scanner very well. The baby seems to be chillin nicely at the bottom- one hand behind its head, the other in its mouth, and its little legs crossed. Danny and I joked that we hope the baby comes out this way and remains a very calm baby ... my mother just laughed and laughed when I told her this... Oh boy! Or girl!

Was this an April Fools Joke people?

***Late afternoon breaking news - My sources have confirmed that this is a hoax. See original photo used to photoshop the BOM. Sneaky.

Too bad.

Xoxo, L

Raw and in the Shell

Mei and I went to breakfast at a restaurant where the "seniors' special" was two eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast for $1.99.

"Sounds good," my wife said. "But I don't want the eggs."

"Then I'll have to charge you two dollars and forty-nine cents because you're ordering a la carte," the waitress warned her.

"You mean I'd have to pay for not taking the eggs?!" my wife asked incredulously.

"YES!!" stated the waitress.

"I'll take the special then." my wife said.

"How do you want your eggs?" the waitress asked. "Raw and in the shell," my wife replied.

She took the two eggs home. She made my day.

Reminds me of my dad. He is always trying to save or not waste. Except if this had happened to him he would just order the eggs and save it in an old margarine container for later consumption. Love my dad.

March Maddness

I am not really talking about the tournament people (little bitter since I picked Georgetown to go all the way - who has even heard of Davidson anyway!) rather I am talking about the eventful month it has been. Here is a recap of the month.

Cousin Kara came to visit w/ her husband Scott and little boy Will.

What a cute family! It was fun to visit with them even though we saw them for such a short time.

Babysitting the Bingham gang!

We even got to spend the night and take them to the National Aquarium in Baltimore the next day. I think Danny and I might have enjoyed the aquarium visit more than the kids but after 3 hours of walking can you blame them? I think we might be the meanest Uncle and Aunt! =)

Sadie with the BIG turtle who is missing a front fin.

I have decided that dolphins are so cool. Check him out swimming up-side-down.Daisy's face says it all.Can't take the credit for this one b/c Daisy was our rainbow spotter. I don't know that I have even been able to see a complete rainbow. It was pretty fantastic!

Danny turns 27!

It was a small celebration with lots of food at Fogo de Chao.

Vacation to Utah.

Danny got to ski and play golf while I mostly just ate. =)

Dinner at Jenny & D. Andrew's.

Food was awesome as always.

Allie and Tristan came along too.

Nathan has gotten so big since I last saw him. But sill remains ridiculously cute.

Probably not the most flattering picture of me you might think but do you see the resemblance between Nathan and me? Yeah, think again.

Visiting with Matt, Krissa, and Rylee.

Danny's good buddy from the college days has us over a few times although we could have spent the whole week with them we had so much fun.

Check out those baby blues!

This is a picture to capture the "good ole college days" (couldn't be that good if I wasn't around, right?) when Matt and Danny played FIFA Soccer into the wee hours of the night w/ Krissa cheering or sleeping. Now of course if this were a real soccer game Krissa would be kicking their trash. =)

Rylee and her Daddy.


Danny's High School School Fellas.

Thanks Gavin for the great night complete with a wide variety of virgin drinks and lets not forget the sugar coated drinking glasses. Yum!

Happy Easter!

Cami with her Easter basket.

Danny w/ the boys popping firecrackers.

Let the games begin. We has about a dozen rocket launchers and about a million rockets so it turned into an all out war on Easter afternoon.

Mya and Dan launch a rocket up in the sky...

Ouch! It's a hit!

Josh and Danny retaliate...

Success!

The aftermath of war.

Allie and Tristan got engaged.

Here is an official picture of the exciting night!

Hope everyone had a great March!

Congratulations!

Congrats are in order for my baby sister who got engaged last night. Even though she has yet to call me (she must have dropped her phone in the toliet or something) her now fiance Tristan did text me after it happened ... glad he remembered me. Anyway, I am seriously excited for this union. Are they not the cutest duo you have ever seen ...

<3 Tristan & Allie <3

Here Comes the Sun!

The temperature got above 55 today so I started thinking about bathing suits. =) I am happy to see that one piece bathing suits are actually cute these days!

Check out my online finds at Urban Outfitters...

Actually a tankini but lets be honest- that rocks when it comes to trips to the little ladies room!

Also comes in orange and white w/ brown ties.

Poor Southwest Airlines

My boss constantly uses Southwest as a metaphor to explain ways we can be more friendly and have a better customer relation feeling to our school. Seriously, the man should be the poster child for the company, he loves Southwest. Now, my sweet Danny he would be quick to liken Southwest to a cattle herding business because of the no assigned seating rule that leads to that massive blob of people trying to funnel into some sorta line - very annoying I will admit. Now, me I'd probably use Southwest as a metaphor for the Super Wal*mart in Orem, Utah (bless that place) it's kinda chaotic but it gets the job done and it's cheap! I just love the fact that I can always get such cheap flights to Salt Lake from Baltimore - a lot of times I am paying $99 each way! Now, this article I found on CNN.com it would more likely compare the airline to anything coming outta China these days - needs to be recalled/just plain dangerous....

Records: Southwest Airlines flew 'unsafe' planes(http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/03/06/southwest.planes/index.html)
Oh and not the kinda headline you want to see when you are about to fly across the country in a Southwest plane. =)

A Little Late...

We wanna wish all our February Boys Happy Birthday!

Luke turned 3!

So did George!
Dallin turned the big 11 (insane) and Aidan turned 5!


We loved being able to celebrate with you all!!!

Twilight Movie Cast

Eeeeek! I might just have to be a Jacob fan after seeing this ...



Nellie, I swear if Chris grew his hair out he look just like Papa Cullen in this pic - he should be so flattered! =)
