Yeah, it snowed.

Just Do It!

*stepping on soap box*

Seriously people, what is so hard about recycling? I do not understand why when I drive down my street on my husband's favorite day of the week (trash day!) that less than half the homes have set out recycling bins for collection.

As previously stated, THEY ARE PICKED UP RIGHT ON YOUR FRONT LAWN. There is no having to drive to the recycling center with your used cans dripping all over your car's leather interior. Its simple: place recycling bin in garage, use can (box, paper, plastic, etc.), open garage door, throw empty can into bin, on aforementioned collection day kick the bin down to the end of your drive way, after collected kick bin back into garage. Then repeat. I need someone to explain to me which step of that was too difficult, I just don't get it.

Are we trying to deplete the world's resources so that our children have nothing but a barren wasteland left? If we truly care for our children wouldn't we want to leave them the best? I would assume that these people who don't recycle aren't likely to go to the Grand Canyon with a can of spray paint, leave the water running in the sink all day, or leave their car running in the drive way all night. Sure, I'm not changing to world by recycling, but if everyone did it, maybe it would could.

Mad props to all my homies that are trying to make a difference!

Our Holiday In Pictures by Salty

SO, Salty got a "real" camera for Christmas, and has been taking pictures ever since. (remember the blog post when I was readying the memory card, sheesh, that took forever) Here are a few of her better pictures :o) Enjoy, they are the only ones taken of our Holiday festivities. I think she did a great job :o)

This was Salty and Puppy's favorite past time, Tickle Time with Uncle Thanh. That and the "moon at noon" where they would wake up Uncle Thanh using lots of noise around 12pm. Hopefully it didn't involve too much mooning?! I should ask Thanh LOL

Here's Salty and Cousin E playing dress up. They had a great time playing together. Okay maybe E wasn't playing dress up, but he did like the little polly pockets and tea party.

This was taken New Year's Eve right after Salty yanked out her first tooth

Aunt Quyen and E playing. Not the best picture, but only one of Aunt Quyen. Salty had a great time playing with her during our trip.

Salty's Christmas Recital

So, Salty was a little put out that there wasn't a cute outfit for the Holiday show. She still looked pretty dang cute if you ask me. okay that took forever to upload, now I remember why I hadn't done this before. . .

Puppy's Christmas Recital

Yes, I know he forgot to dress up. It was a school night for goodness sake. Hey, at least we weren't late :o)
