A Little of This and That

Here are some pics for you to enjoy.


The cousins cozying up together by the fire after celebrating Isaac's baptism and Chris' birthday. It's always fun to have the family around.

One of Parker's favorite movie's is Mary Poppins, and he loves the song, "Let's Go Fly a Kite." So that's what we did, we went to fly a kite. Parker had great fun...







...UNTIL he found the baseball field with a little league team practicing, and he had no interest in the kite anymore.

"Throwing signs" in the duggout.


This is the first, but I'm sure not last, black eye. I guess that's what you get for playing with a plastic drawer with your cuz.

How Do You Do That?

So just a quick note to my blogger friends...How do I get the cute backgrounds, and change the fonts? I finally figured out how to get music (yeah!), but I want it all! The cute banner at the top with my name, fun fonts of different sizes, and different backgrounds! Help me!!!

A Pinkilicious Party!

I had a great birthday this year! My niece, Lyndsay and I share a birthday. In the past I've been kinda selfish and insist I have my own party. This year I thought it would be fun to share a party together. Lyndsay and I had the idea when reading the book, "Pinkilicious". Its about this girl who really likes pink and eats pink cupcakes, and then becomes pink. So we decided to have a Pinkilicious Birthday Party with pink cupcakes, pink decorations, and everyone had to wear pink. Well, it was a blast. I had so much fun getting together with my family and the Navarrette Family. We played a matching game with words that described Lyndsay and myself. Then when someone would get a match they would get some candy that went with it (for example the match was "fun" and then the person got Fun Dip candy) Anyway, some of the candies were Dum Dums and Airheads. Can you believe that? I'll embrace the title of "Airhead", because I know I do some airheady things, but "Dum Dum"? I don't think so. Anyway, thank you Chris and Jenny for getting it together (and thank you also to Ryan and Troy for helping set up and Bob and Lu for helping cleaning up). It was Awesome!!!!! (The last sentence is to be said like DJ Lance Rock on Yo Gabba Gabba.)

Writer's Block

I know, I know, I have not blogged in a long time (about a month and a half), but I have an excuse...pick your favorite...(1)I've been to busy to blog. (2)Nothing has happened to report about. (3)I don't have any cute pics to show off. (4)I don't know why I haven't blogged.
Things are well at the Shepherd household. Chris was sick in bed for a week (literally). That was one of the most boring weeks of my life. I realized that I rely too much on Chris for entertainment. I did, although, go to a NDI Dance-a-thon that weekend to see old students and friends dance. I brought Parker and found out that he is quite the dancer. It was so much fun. I got a video of Parker dancing on my phone, but I don't know how to get that to my computer.
The weekend after Chris felt a little better I made him take me and Parker out. If was a beautiful day so we went to the duck pond over at the UNM campus. We fed the ducks (of course) and played baseball (of course). It was nice to be outside and play together.
February is my birthday month, and my teacher-partner' birthday in February as well. So a wonderful couple, Susanne and Grandpa Al, who volunteer in our classroom threw us a small get together last weekend. It was so nice and the food was SOOOOO GOOD! I've never had anyone throw me a party like that. What a memory.
So that's the latest news. Not much more to report about. Boring I know, but that's life sometimes. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for reading!

Here's a short something to laugh about. Lately when Parker is finished with his food, he will put his dirty dish in the sink. The other day Parker was eating some ketchup with his nuggets while I was getting ready for school. When he was through I heard him put his plate in the sink, then I heard the water turn on. As I walked into the kitchen, I asked Parker what he was doing, and he said, "I'm washing my plate." I thought, "Oh, how responsible of him." until he turned around and I saw his face. Then I just laughed.
