I LAVA You!!

Today we built volcanoes with the kids. They had a good time playing with the playdoh and seeing the vinegar and baking soda explode. While they are a little young to really explain chemical reactions to, it was still fun to watch them see them at work. I think it is fun to get kids excited about learning and show them something they haven't seen before.

St. Patrick's Day

I don't think my family has any Irish in us but, my mom never misses the opportunity to have all of us together for a party. She has made green dinner as long as I can remember. It is fun to get to take Zach and have him experience the things that I did growing up. My mom makes everything green and the kids to a scavanger hunt to find treasure. It is usually pretty laid back and everyone has a good time.

All the green food. Some of it is dyed but the veggies are all natural.

Feeling a bit nostalgic

nos·tal·gia: (noun) 1. a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a former time in one's life, to one's home or homeland, or to one's family and friends; a sentimental yearning for the happiness of a former place or time.
Whenever Zach goes to stay with Taylor for awhile I always think him and miss him like crazy. Even though I know he loves spending time with his dad. Today I was looking at pictures from when Zach was younger and thought I would post a couple just cause I think he is so cute! I can't believe he will be turning three in just a couple months.

About Us

Gordon and I dated a little over a year in high school and then broke up after we graduated. We both got married and had kids. Gordon's daughter is named Kimiko Lee and my son is named Zachary Taylor. We both seperated from our spouses and one day ran into each other. The rest as they say is history. Our kids started playing together while we hung out and caught up. It didn't take long before we fell back in love. Gordon is an electrician and as of late I have been a stay at home mom. I haven't given up looking for a job and lots of days staying home makes me crazy. But, I love spending time with Zach. He loves dinosaurs and learning. We spend a lot of time practing numbers and letters and writing. We play with bugs and make messes. When he learns something new I get the best feeling in the world. Kimi loves everything princess and is very much a daddy's girl. We also each had a dog from our previous relationships, Bugg and Brutus. So our house is pretty full and someone is always causing some sort of ruckus. But, there is also a lot of love and laughing and I wouldn't have it any other way.
