A couple days ago I was in the kitchen making dinner, very grateful to my son for entertaining my daughters. They were all playing stuffed animal baseball. Basically, Zo’s puma turned into a ball, I’m not sure what they used for a bat, and they had made the living room a baseball diamond. I was…
I have been meaning to post so many things lately. Everywhere I go I have a camera with me and I take some pictures just because I want to blog about them. Then I get home and start looking at everyone elses blogs and find I have used up all my time and it is…
I put a music player on the site. I just have to now figure out how I want to really incorporate this in the theme. And it only allows MP3 files, so anything I download from iTunes (which is evilly put in a m4p format) I can not put in there. But if you know…
I have no idea what you’re talking about… so here’s a bunny with a pancake on it’s head.
I’ve been paying SSBB alot, so I just want to tell you what I’ve accomplished. Here is my list of what I’ve done. 1. I’ve got all the characters and stages 2. I’ve also cleared the subspace emissary 3. I’ve made about 7 custom stages 4. I think I’ve mastered sonic 5. I also think…
12 years ago yesterday I saw the world upside down. The lights from Phoenix were so bright that they drown out all the stars in the sky. As my plane flew into Sky Harbor Airport it literally looked like the world had been turned upside down. It seemed like a nice metaphor for me coming…
We are having our book club for Breaking Dawn on Monday 8/25. Anyone is welcome to join us. We are meeting at Applebees on the corner of Alma School and Queen Creek at 8:30 (after FHE and bedtime so we don’t interfere with family obligations). Leave me a comment if you would like to come,…
So I am tired of Arizona, want to move, England would still be my first choice, but I do have a few people counting on me now. My kids like the Fulton Elementary school, my wife can not be further than 200 yards away from her parents house, and now I am stuck. Should I…
It’s been a while since posting so I just decided to put up some random stuff that I hadn’t gotten around to. Antoinette had her sixth birthday in June and all she wanted to do was learn how to ride a horse. She was so cute and really picked up quickly.
1. I’m good at drawing 2. I’m good at ssbb (super smash bros. brawl). 3. I’m good at Pikmin 2 (a video game). 4. I’m good at eating ( you know, eating,food). 5. I’m good at building stuff with legos. 6. I’m good at making friends. That’s just some of the stuffs I’m good at. …
Yes, I finally took the pictures off my new camera and so I will start filling my blog. (No promises though.) Well last weekend we were all wonderfully surprised by the rain that came down. Thank you to Merilee for bringing it with you. I always love it when you do that. Well Mer also…
I know everyone is posting about So You Think You Can Dance. I just had to jump on the boat. I’m not putting up any clips though. My sisters and I spent about 4 hours on Saturday watching our Tivo’d episodes. It was time well spent. Addie was almost in tears when she told me…
So I know I haven’t posted for a while. I think it’s a mixture of the heat, exercise (although I’ve heard that is supposed to increase your energy level), and the increase of children’s activities, but I am so tired lately. I have been going to bed at like 9 or 10 every night. Yes,…
So, as always, I am behind in writing. We have had lots going on so I am just putting up some pics to give you an idea of life around the Hird household. Also, check out ducklips photo blog on my links to the right to find out who the lucky winner is.
I put up a new photo blog. I am excited to have a way to work out all of my photo issues and share ideas. To start off I’m doing a giveaway. Check it out and tell me what you think. Thanks
The kids’ school is doing an amazing fund raiser. I usually hate to choose between Tredmill or elliptical but these things but this one I thought was worth my while. Plus half the money we collect goes straight to the Art Masterpiece program. The new Fitness Works on Queen Creek and Gilbert is offering…
So, I thought it was about time that I start posting again. There has been too much in the last month or so for me to think clearly enough to share with other people how I’ve been feeling. Thanks to my wonderful husband, who has been posting a bit, you all know most of it….

Gravatars are universal avatars that can be used on many sites, blogs, etc. You can get a new Gravatar at http://en.gravatar.com/ all you need is your email address. Since this is…
After I graduated, I was doing interviews all over the place. I was talking to many head hunters here in Arizona, a couple in Texas, and a couple back east, in South Carolina and Kentucky, a couple in Portland, OR and a few in California. My favorite in all of these, overall, was the job…
Yesterday Stephen graduated from University of Advancing Technology with a Bachelor of Science degree in Software Engineering. Despite everything else going on, I was on a high all day. I am so proud of him! This has been 7 years in the making. He has worked extremely hard w/ school and always working a…
Well, I haven’t been on here in a while. There has been lots going on and that doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon. As you all know, Stephen was down sized last week. Even though it has been very hard to see him going through the grieving process over this, I have really…
On April 09, 2008, I was taken into a conference room at work, and told that the company is restructuring, and that my position was not in the new structure. So I was escorted back to my desk, and hovered over while I packed my belongings. It was an embarrassing event. I was not allowed…
Ok, so it’s been awhile. this spring break has been crazy and we didn’t even go anywhere. I am definitely ready for some rhyme and reason to my days again (as I always am).
Tonight Zo was having a hard time falling asleep. She had growing pains and, remembering having them when I was a kid, I am always very understanding when my kids legs hurt. I put on the cd of primary music that the kids got to practice with. I Am a Child of God is Zo’s…
As you all know, I stopped working about 2 weeks ago. It has been so nice staying home with my kids and getting some other goals worked on. I think this change has affected Zo most of all. The whole time I was working she was lucky enough to have her grandparents watch her. On…
