after the fact

i know this so SO after the fact - so 2002 - so 7 years ago.
but zach and i made the mistake of starting to watch season one of the show 24.


most of you have probably seen it...like i said.. 7 years ago.
last night we just finished the season and i am totally blown away. she really kills terri? are you kidding? i am so mad at nina right now.

unfortunately i am sucked in and want to watch season 2 asap.
i am so wrapped up in it..like it is so real.
why do shows do this to me?

anyway...
if anyone happens to own season 2 of 24 i would love to borrow it...so my emotional attachment to jack baur's life can continue. and so i can see what the heck nina is doing. grr...she makes me so mad.

friends + cabin = fun!

we had a blast this weekend up at the Croxford Cabin at Bear Lake with our great friends Kip and Alisha! wish the weekend would never end. we played games, watched a movie, ate too many treats, told lots of stories, and laughed really hard - like we always do! thanks for coming up with us, you guys. we are so lucky to have such fun friends.

sorry for the picture being crooked..our 'tripod' was the top of the car!

baby lilac

i have an amazing friend how has come out with the newest, MUST HAVE baby product! the business is called Baby Lilac and she sells baby eye masks.

have you ever tried to get your baby to fall sleep in the airplane, at church, or other noisy public place? there is lots of light, and many distractions. slip on this eye mask, and they drift off to sleep. also great for daytime naps when bedrooms are still too light! check out how cute the designs are...

i really love this fluffy pink one!

the masks come in the following sizes:
newborn-6mo
infant 6-12mo
child
adult

go to babylilac.com to purchase!

p.s. the designers preschooler and husband wear these also!

ultrasound

and everything looks normal!

...like my pancreas, kidneys, liver, and gallbladder.

did i getcha? nope, no baby inside of me, but all my insides are looking good! i had to have some tests after my body was not feeling quite right. the blood work, x-ray and ultrasound all showed i am normal and healthy.


...maybe i can have a more "fun" ultrasound in the future..

two christmases

we spent christmas morning with the croxford's. spoiled, as usual with some of these fun gifts:

and coolest of all...

a KEY to my parents brand new cabin!THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this with us!

then off for a quick trip to Arkansas to...

hug the patterson family
hang out in the new house
have christmas again - opening more presents!

where we got:


and again spoiled, we received this awesome video camerafrom mom and dad patterson! THANK YOU so much!

what a great (and way too fast!) holiday spent with family!
now, we welcome 2009...happy new year!


p.s. to anyone who has to fly somewhere for christmas, DO NOT pack wrapped gifts in your checked bag. you think when you check your bag that your things are safe...think again. the presents that we had packed to Arkansas were stolen by some airport worker. :(

cook!

what does jaci do when she is home alone all day? COOK! here are some of the things i tried today....

HOT POCKETS

CHICKEN NUGGETS

CHOCOLATE COVERED FROZEN BANANAS

yummy, huh!? i found this website that inspired me to make some things from scratch. i feel better about eating hot pockets and chicken nuggets that i made cause i know they are real food! (not some processed who-knows-what).

ALL three of these worked out so good. i am planning on freezing the hot pockets and chicken nuggets for a quick snack or meal.

g i n g e r b r e a d h o u s e

this is it. this is what you get when zach and jaci attempt to make a fancy gingerbread house. i like the roof. it think i'll go eat some of it right now!
