Halloween and the Corn Maze

Miranda was a Hippie this year and Hayley was a Monkey! She obviously was not excited about getting her photo taken! Darn it! Miranda got a whole lotta candy (that she didn't need) and had fun doing it. Hayley was priceless..she would not let go of her candy bucket for the life of anything. She fell asleep with it! ;) The Corn Maze was fun as well this year. Hayley enjoyed the Corn box as did her sister. We made it out of the maze the right way this year and it only took us 1/2 hour instead of last years 2 1/2 hours!! UGH thank goodness! Enjoy the pictures.

Seattle trip

Well, let see what event should I post about....our Trip to Seattle. We took Miranda to her first (well and my first) Major League Baseball game in October. We went to a Mariners game and it was fantastic! Miranda got a foul ball at which she was very excited about and we went to the Point Defiance Zoo in Tacoma! It was a wonderful trip and it is beautiful in Washington! Not a bad place to move to either! ;) Enjoy the pictures. Well, let see what event should I post about....our Trip to Seattle.

Kids say the darndest things!!!!

Yesterday, Sunday, Dec. 13th I was on the computer doing our Christmas cards when I hear Hayley and Danny in the kitchen planning something (yes, I said planning) all of the sudden Hayley comes to the door way between the kitchen and the living room and yells, "Getta cookin'" clear as a bell!! I never laughed so hard! She is a character and keeps me on my toes at all times!!! Stay tuned I'm sure there will be more from where that came from! ;)

HP TouchSmart Computer Review and Give-Away!

this is a compensated review by BlogHer and HP.

Have you seen one of these? I had not, until one arrived on my doorstep last week, but now I am seeing the ads everywhere---it must be like when you’re looking for a new car and suddenly the car you’ve decided to look into is all over the place.

Anyway, the HP TouchSmart 600 is One. Neat. Computer. and I can’t believe that our family has one to play with. It works just like a traditional computer, and has anything and everything you would possibly need in a desktop, but with the added bonus of ALL of these great additions:

--Touch Screen technology (you can use your finger as a mouse!)

--Super large 23” flat-screen monitor (that can be wall-mountable!)

--the ability to use as a Television, DVR, and DVD/Blue Ray player

--You can TALK to it, using a Blue Tooth (so super cool)

--Webcam

--Wireless keyboard and mouse that can be used up to 30 feet away

--ONE plug. That’s it! and no computer tower, which I love. It’s so clean-looking!

If you’d like more information about all the bells and whistles the HP TouchSmart 600 offers, here is the official information from HP’s website.

I believe it has been about 5 months since I have updated this thing called a blog!! My New Year's resolution (well, one of them) will be to update this more frequently. A lot has gone on since my last post. Hayley was just starting to walk, now she is RUNNING full speed! She talks, she is full of ambition and a little quirky at times! She makes Dan and I laugh at the RANDOM things that she does. She is 18 months now! Wow how time flies. Miranda started 3rd grade and is doing well. She needs a little help with her attitude, talking back and thinking she is ALWAYS right or has to have the last word! Hmmmm....who does that remind you of......PAPA! We made a daily chore chart/behavior chart for Miranda about two or so months ago. It seems to be working a little but there needs to be something more! I just wish I was MAGIC!!! I have pictures to post and updates to give so be on the look out of what has been happening in the Sanborn family these last 5 months! Toodles for now!
