Happy Birthday Faith!!!

Our sweet little Faith Alice is 10 yrs old today! I can't believe it! Faith is our 4th child & the 4th daughter. She was born at our home on East Pepper Place Monday, February 28, 2000 at 11:42pm. She was due on leap day, February 29th, but came just 20 min before. She is our only child that came right on time on her own. I wasn't even expecting her because I was always overdue. I remember the day clearly because I started to sort through all the old baby clothes thinking I still had a week or so to go when I started feeling mild contractions. Needless to say I was shocked.

She is a bundle of fun & a great big sister to Adam. Faith is a VERY organized person. Her school teacher is amazed at how perfectly clean her desk always is & she hates to have a thing out of place in her bedroom so it works out great that she shares with Madison bc Faith helps keep Madison organized whether Madison likes it or not.

A story we will never forget about Faith was when we went on a Disney Cruise 7 years ago. Faith was a quiet & shy 3 yr old at the time. My mom went with us & Maddie & Sara stayed in her cabin. Ryan & I were in a different cabin, a few doors down, with Ashley & Faith.

Early one morning our cabin phone rings waking us up. It's a the ships security asking us if Faith is in our room. I thought that was strange...of course she's in our room...silly me...I said "yes" thinking Faith was in bed but when I checked she was NOT there or anywhere in our room! Ahhhhhh!!!! I went & checked my Mom's room & she wasn't there either. Apparently Faith woke up on her own, unlocked the door & decided to go visit Grandma but couldn't find the right room nor could she find her way back to our room either & was found wandering around. She wasn't telling the Security her name so they were calling rooms of people with 3 year old girls to see who she belonged to.

Not only was it bad enough that she ran off without us even knowing but the cherry on top was she was only wearing a pull-up at the time. Yes, she was out roaming the halls in only a PULL-UP! It didn't even hit me she was only in a pull-up until I saw the Disney t-shirt that she was returned to us in, along with the stuffed animal they gave her. What an experience.

Faith loves softball, collecting stuffed animals, fixing her hair & color coordinating her outfits. She is a great help to our family.

We love you Faith!!!!

'Team Jacob' This One's For You

Once again I was doing a little too much You Tube surfing & came across this little gem that merges two of my favorite things Twilight & Taylor Swift songs. Personally, I like my men cold, dead & sparkly but for all my Team Jacob friends (wait...I have team Jacob friends?) this one's for you:



If you need the lyrics here they are in this video below:

Funny Super Bowl Commercials 2010

A lot of people just watch the Super Bowl for the commercials or DVR it so they can fast forward the game & go straight to the commercials. Well none of us here at our house even watched the game so I went online to check out some of the ads we missed...

Dave Letterman, Jay Leno & Oprah:



People are calling this one historic. If you know anything that's been going on in the late night wars the last few weeks it is pretty colossal.

The Green Police:



Ok this one totally reminds me of "no burn" days. Neighbors turn neighbors in if you are burning your fireplace on the wrong day. Seriously it happens.

Snickers Betty White:



Don't ya just love Betty White! She's hilarious! And wasn't that the guy that played Fish on Barney Miller?

Volkswagen with Stevie Wonder & Tracy Morgan:



Love the ending!

Mans Last Stand:



Nuff said.

Etrade:



Awwww...so cute!

Doritos - Weight Room:



This wasn't Doritos only Super Bowl commercial, they had 2 more that were also great but I really related to this one...hmmm...wonder why?
