She Really Didn't Want To Be Snow White

This is a belated halloween post......

Why Aren't They Models?

Even with the Toy Story Mania glasses these two manage to take the perfect picture.

Getting Dressed Again

Multi-Purpose Strollers

Mom went on a major shopping spree before Christmas at Disneyland. She went alone but decided to take the stroller anyway. Good idea. LOL

Remember last time.........

The Fudge Rum Sundae At Northwoods Inn

I have never seen dessert at Northwoods Inn. This is because of the two salads, fabulous cheesebread, baked potato with cheese butter, rice and steak (or lobster, shrimp, etc.)

Tonight, Dora decided to skip dinner and go straight to dessert. Yummo, I want to go in for a nightcap sometime and try the Blackberry Sundae. The Fudge Rum Sundae looked fantastic.

Offshore or Nearshore?

This is the air conditioning unit in the rooms at the Hilton Pasadena.

Denver Dream vs San Diego Seduction

These were the two teams playing last night in the Lingerie Football League.

The Lingerie Football League plays every Friday night and who knew that there was a Football team still in Los Angeles, oh yeah, The Los Angeles Temptations. RO!

Let's Eat Food!

I think Sydney had a New Years Resolution, to eat. Since January 2nd Sydney has eaten more food than she has in the past month or any other month since birth. She is frequently saying "Food" and actually sitting down and eating her meal. (This is a major accomplishment).

The amazing thing is right before she started eating I was talking to mom and we both said "Starting Tuesday (This was the day the Braun's were leaving) no matter how painful it is she is going to sit down, eat her food and have all snacks taken away until she can eat normal food". Since that conversation she has eaten every meal, sitting down with no problem. I am chalking it up to Sydney's New Years Resolution. Way to go, girl!

No Disneyland During Bed Rest

I missed the Disneyland Christmas Parade this year due to bedrest. In fact I totally missed Disneyland at Christmas-something I absolutely love. Darn. Enter 2010:

This week I missed out on two Disneyland trips! The first was with the Braun's and the second was with the family. Here are a couple of shots of what I missed out on today. (BTW: Congrats to Becca for getting a pass, lots of Disney fun planned for this year!)

Week 33-PG Update

A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was on bedrest. Basically, at week 30 I started having some pre-term labor and the doctor imposed bedrest on me. This week he allowed me to return to work on a work from home basis so thats where we are at. This stage of the bedrest will probably last 2-3 more weeks and then we'll see what happens.

Katherine has been breach the entire pregnancy. The doctor thinks she turned last week because of where he picked up the heartbeat. That is fantastic news since I want to avoid the C-Section if at all possible.

The heartburn this pregnancy has been horrific. I've been doing the 2 Pepcid's a day and tums and it hasn't been enough, I have been absolutely miserable.

If she is born at 36 weeks, it will be Laura's birthday. If she is born at 37 weeks it will be dad's birthday and if she is born at 40 weeks it will be 2/22.

The Sees Candy Bordeaux

I had been wanting some Sees candy for days and so on my birthday Becca went and got me a half pound of my most favorite candy in the world, The Bordeaux. The Bordeaux consists of brown sugar and butter cream covered in milk chocolate. A half pound is 9 pieces.

Since my birthday, 17 days ago, I have eaten 6 pieces and my mom has had 2 of them. I have one left and will probably eat it over the weekend. How long would they last in your house?

Happy Birthday, Braun!

Love you!!!! Hope you make it home soon!

Randy Johnson Retires

This is notable for two (and only two) reasons.

The first one is that I find Randy Johnson (and I realize this isn't nice) one of the most visibly unpleasant people I have ever seen. This is because of his terrible stringy and nasty hair. The way it hangs all over the place and looks under his hat is just horrible, especially when it is soaked in sweat. CUT THE HAIR, Randy.

The second reason is that he is retiring after 22 years.

Happy Birthday, CEM!

We Love You!!!!!!

Pinnacle Peak Steakhouse

Tonight I took an excursion out of the house to my favorite steakhouse, Pinnacle Peak. The steakhouse is an old stagecoach stop on Route 66 in San Dimas and I have been going there for years. I have gone many times for my birthday and figured a western steakhouse would be a great place to take our east coast company.

It didn't disappoint! Great company, steaks, ribs, bread, salad and Sydney loved the western beans (Great). As a bonus, I got out of the house for a couple hours!!!!!!

Happy New Year!

I Missed New Years Eve

Lots happened while I was in bed on my second favorite day of the year (First being Christmas). Most of it is recapped on the Braun blog. I made sure Becca took a picture of Thanks to Mom and Becca for taking care of all of the food, it certainly looks VERY good. I was able to try everything yesterday (except the creamed spinach-darn) and it was all delicious.

Another special thanks to Becca who got here at 3:45AM on New Years Eve to ensure that everyone was able to watch the parade from the first or second row. And one more thanks to mom who prepared all the food for New Years morning as well!

Sydney's First In-N-Out

The Braun's enjoyed In-N-Out so much they wanted it again for lunch today. To celebrate the joy of In-N-Out we decided that Sydney needed to have her first one today. She looked really excited when it was first presented to her but......








Unfortunately, she was not pleased for long. She refused to try it proclaiming over and over "No Food", "No Food", "No Food". After the meal was over (and she had eaten ONE french fry) she decided she was hungry but would only eat the patty....and that was after she pulled off any scrap of cheese from the patty. I guess she enjoyed that but it's not really an In-N-Out is it?
