Might as well update on 2010.

Morning sickness and lack of sun in Wenatchee prompted Taro to send Reagan and me to Phoenix for some of this.

Back at home... I think this was my usual spot for the next couple of months. It's all really a blur. Me and pregnancy don't mix well.

I felt so good in Phoenix that I went back and we we able to celebrate Easter with my cute nieces and nephews.

Reagan and I also made a trip to Utah and I saw my good friends.

This one turned FOUR!

He still managed to stay cute

Someone decided to join the party a month early!

And he became a BIG brother.

Even with a new baby we still managed to have some summer fun.

And get some much needed rest...

...thanks to the visit from Abuelita.

And with her help we were even able to do a quick trip to Salt Lake.

Vero celebrated her first Halloween. A little embarrassed that this is the only picture that was taken.

Grandpa came for visit!

Daddy surprised Reagan with a trip to Disneyland.

These two stole my heart.

This one celebrated her first Christmas.

God blessed me.

I'm back??

2011-02-02T17:57:00.002-08:00

Do I even try to summarize what happened in 2009? Here goes, pay attention!

Reagan celebrated THREE

Both are still best friends

Tried to savor moments like this

Enjoyed the summer with friends

Took in some concerts with my best friend

This one started Pre-School

My Husband thought this would be a good idea. He was WRONG and she was gone by Thanksgiving.
Knee was feeling "weird" and had this done which meant NO SKIING
He kept getting cuter
and cuter
still managed to get stupid with ma friends!
and then THIS happened.

February

2009-08-02T23:54:00.000-07:00

What I can remember of February is that it was very cold so time was spent doing silly things like this.

Here I am with my friend Becky. Too bad she snowboards but I'll forgive her because she drinks Drop Top Amber with me in between runs. She is a dear friend and was also Reagan's speech therapist whom he started seeing in January. Reagan adores her and thought that their sessions were play dates. So thankful for her and her nature with him. His speech has totally improved and it is amazing to think that he ever needed it. Thank you Becks!

We attended a fun disco theme party hosted by our friends and was very happy to see everyone in attendance take the theme seriously. The ladies spent a lot of time on hair and make-up and getting the feathered look just right. We had THE best time and hope they have another themed party very soon. But next time I won't be wearing these.
OUCH!

A Summary of the Last Few Months ~ January

2009-08-01T07:47:00.000-07:00

Since I have not updated for many months I thought I would catch up with brief summaries of the past.

January ~ Man, I love winter! January was spent
sledding with friends,

celebrating my birthday,

skiing with friends

and getting Reagan on Happy Skis.

This month I celebrated hard for a whole week of me turning another year older. It also took me about a week to recover. We were blessed with awesome spring like weather at Mission Ridge so it made for a perfect time to get Reagan familiar with skiing.
Taro was very patient and spent a lot of time with Reagan on the Happy Skis. He loved it and we couldn't be more thrilled.

Book Finds

2008-11-10T21:28:00.000-08:00

On Saturday I went to a semi-annual used book sale. Last Spring I found some great finds and was excited to go again this past Saturday. I was a bit disappointed by the selection of adult books but the coffee and donuts cheered me up and the thankfully the children's books were pretty good. This is what I found.

This book goes through each letter of the alphabet and every page is full of cars and trucks. Gg is for Garbage truck, Zz is for Zamboni! The pages are really bright and colorful.

I picked this one up for Taro to read to Reagan. A simple book but Reagan is really into tools and helping daddy in the garage with projects. His current favorite toy is a toy power drill.

This book is my absolute favorite, I have always loved Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals and My Favorite Things is a favorite song. The illustrations in this book are GORGEOUS! I can't believe someone would want to part with this book. Lucky me.

Bedtime Story

2008-11-06T22:42:00.000-08:00

Has anyone read this book? Reagan and I checkout our first books from the library the other day and this was one of our choices. That night Taro read him the book. Afterwards he gave me some details about the book and told me he didn't like reading it to Reagan. At the time I didn't think anything of it. The next night we settled in for a bedtime story and I decided to read him the same story. HOLY CRAP! The man in the yellow hat is a bad, bad man. He kidnaps poor, innocent George from Africa. He lures George out of a tree then puts him in a bag and they get on a ship to the U.S where he plans to take George to a zoo. Once they get to the city, The Man in the Yellow Hat gives George a pipe to smoke after dinner. WTF? George accidentally calls the fire department and then gets taken to jail. Terrible! I need to do a better job of choosing books. Any recommendations?

Halloween Fun

2008-11-06T22:26:00.000-08:00

Halloween is beginning to be a favorite holiday (is it called a holiday?). It is like a kick-off to winter like Valentine's is a kick-off to spring. I love both days and we had a fun time celebrating Halloween this year.
The week before we went to a children's halloween party. The hosts did a fantastic job keeping the kids entertained and the setting could not have been more perfect.
Reagan's buddy is born on the 30th and we all went to his costume party. Toddlers in costumes. It does not get any cuter. Halloween was spent trick-or-treating downtown and riding the riverfront miniature train. We then put a very tired babe to bed and Taro and I headed to a halloween party. We left at 1:30am! It wasn't over! Taro and I partied again Saturday night too. I love Halloween but am happy it is over. I am still detoxing.

GAH!!!

2008-10-14T22:30:00.000-07:00

I bought a pair of Arc'teryx bottoms in black to wear under my ski pants. Tonight I saw the same website selling this.

Angry!

One to add to your ipod

2008-10-14T22:17:00.000-07:00

This is a lazy blog post but I have to share with you my love for this song. In case you haven't noticed I am a Pitbull fan.

Tumble Buds

2008-10-05T22:31:00.000-07:00

Reagan and I have been taking a tumbling class for toddlers each week. It is so exciting to see his improvements from week to week. The class is 30 minutes of structured tumbling and play. He surprises me at how well he can sit and follow instruction. His best event, the bars. 10!

Laughing in my oatmeal

2008-09-30T08:06:00.000-07:00

While eating breakfast this morning I came across this. For the record I am supporting McCain this election but I did see the humor in this.

Might as well face it, I am addicted ...

2008-09-25T21:30:00.000-07:00

To sunglasses that is. And the one of the best place to get them is another addiction of mine, Steep and Cheap. This website is fantastic and the best deals to be found always lat least 50 percent off and sometimes even 90 percent.

I had to hold myself back on these

Or how about these stunna shades?

This pair would be great for biking or apres ski but it looks just like a pair I already own

I can totally see myself in these sitting in a drop top.

I need this pair for my next beach trip

A girl can never have too many sunglasses

These are a few of my favorite things

2008-09-25T21:10:00.000-07:00

Here is a list of the things that make me happy

Nonpariels eaten with popcorn
Snuggling up with my husband and watching a movie at home
Rummikub – Garcia’s love them some Rumikub!
Nibbling dark chocolate while sipping mint tea
Movies: Love Actually, Footloose, The Greatest Story Ever Told, Parent Trap, My Fair Lady
Skiing with Taro and enjoying a fat lunch
Comet cleaner – it isn’t clean unless you use comet
Receiving texts from my niece and nephew
Riding the trolley to Red Robin with Reagan
Veuve Clicquot
Receiving my favorite magazines in the mail. InStyle, Domino, The Week, Allure, Conde Nast Traveler.
Receiving personal mail like notes and cards.
Pretty paper and stationary. This is my total weakness. My favorite is still the traditional Cranes Paper.
My Miggity Mac. It just has taken me some time to switch from PC to Mac.
Make-up! I love MAC and each time we travel I always search beforehand for a MAC Pro store.
Prime Rib prepared by Taro. Better than any restaurant. Hands down.
Pens! You must have pretty pens and markers to go along with your paper.
America’s Next Top Model. This is a guilty pleasure of mine. I usually Tivo the entire season then watch it all in one day.
Chips and Salsa. Oh gosh, how I LOVE chips and salsa.
Hugs from Reagan. So, so yummy.

Maaaaaaama!

2008-09-08T13:50:00.000-07:00

Yesterday while preparing Reagan's dinner I heard him calling for me at the back door. Standing very proudly, this is what he wanted to show me.

Yes, that is Henry's poop in that scooper. Reagan was so happy with himself that he had helped Mama clean up the pile that was outside.

FAGA BEEFE

2008-08-26T00:31:00.000-07:00

Who remembers this Oscar worthy movie? Midnight Madness was one of those movies that was on constant repeat on HBO when I was growing up. We watched it tonight.

Now we can finally send it back to Netflix. We've had it since April. One down two more to go.

Kiss the Cook

2008-08-25T20:31:00.000-07:00

The past week i have been a culinary force to be reckoned with. Well, in my case at least because i don't cook. i have never liked it. I don't care to have my hands dirty and and the thought of preparing a meal gives me anxiety.
People always ask me what i feed Reagan since he can't have wheat, dairy (even beef) and soy. We keep it simple and basic and we are at least blessed that Reagan loves vegetables.
Ground turkey browned with sea salt and sugar snap peas, black beans and a corn tortilla. mmm, there's a party in my tummy.

This is my mom's Charquicán Masuda style. Read; with steamed rice. Reagan licks the plate when i serve this.

Both of the above dishes is a nice change from the regular chicken and vegetables that he usually eats. He loves snacking on broccoli and cauliflower and we always keep a variety of fruit around the house for him. Trust me, he is not missing any meals.

Last week prepared chicken enchiladas...for the first time EVER. My friend Brianne gave me the recipe when she brought over the dish right after we had Reagan. Two years later I finally attempted to make it. What a dummy i have been to have waited so long. It was simple to prepare and tasted great. Thanks, Brianne.

And for the pièce de résistance. Taro's absolute favorite dish is lasagna. We have been together for nine years and married five and i am embarrassed to say i have never prepared it for him. Tonight i did the impossible.

Oh, yeah, baby. It was the bomb.

Mamma Mia!

2008-08-06T14:08:00.000-07:00

Each time I hear an ABBA song, doesn't matter which one, i remember of a trip my mom, brother, sister and her friend took to visit my dad who was working in a mine in New Mexico. We drove from Green River, Utah the whole time listening to ABBA.
My older sister was in town visiting last week and so we took mom to see Mamma Mia! As we were walking out I told her how ABBA always reminds me of that trip and she about fell over because she was thinking the same thing. It gave me a warm fuzzy to know that we share that memory. I have to say that my older sister and brother have always had a huge influence on the music i listen to. My brother is twelve years older and sister is almost ten and i have always enjoyed listening to "their music". I remember being excited and also jealous of them when they would travel to Salt Lake to camp out for tickets and go to the arena shows. My brother had the coolest Def Leppard sleeveless shirt of the British flag and a shirt that said, Love At First Sting with a scorpion on it. Oh, and Ingrid when you were gone I used to dance around in you Loverboy headband.

Aye Caramba! Forgot to Post Our Mexican Getaway

2008-07-02T07:28:00.000-07:00

A few weeks ago Taro and I jetted off to Mexico to attend a dear friends wedding in Cancun. Planning for this trip has been very stressful for me. One, because our dear friend is known to me as the Playboy and Eternal Bachelor. That is until I met his beautiful bride.

My mom came all the way over from Chile to watch Reagan while we were gone. Honestly she is the only person I trust Reagan with for that long of time and for those many miles apart. According to her Reagan was an absolute doll but Henry was the one that gave her the most grief. Next time we will kennel the beast!

Our trip was spent hotel hopping and visiting Cancun, Playa del Carmen and Cozumel and a lot of eating! BTW- I met my fitness goals and rocked the swimsuit as best I could.

All Aboard!

2008-07-02T07:05:00.000-07:00

This years birthday party theme was Thomas and Friends. Reagan is more than a little nutty for Thomas the Train these days. The party was held at the Wenatchee Riverfront Railway. I think all the little people enjoyed the train ride and maybe even some parents. Of course there was a Thomas pinata and the traditional American Flag birthday cake. Thank you to all that came and for the wonderful cards and gifts that Reagan received.

New favorite song

2008-06-20T22:40:00.001-07:00

I can't get enough. Move Shake Drop-DJ Laz Feat. Flo Rida

Happy Birthday Stinker Pinker Pumpkin Pie!

2008-06-14T00:33:00.000-07:00

My little man turns two today. I keep saying that birthday's should be a celebration for the parents instead. Each evening when we put him down I think, "Whew! We made it"! The first year of Reagan's life was not an easy one and this last year has been so much better. We are still dealing with his skin and food allergies but it is nothing compared to what it was like the first 20 months or so of his life.

Taro and I have really enjoyed this last year with him. His personality is that of an entertainer. Or a clown. Or Joker. The kid does not stop.

I can't say this enough, I am so blessed to be able to stay home with him and that Taro has a schedule where we eat most of our meals together as a family. Not a day goes by where I don't count my blessings. Days spent watching Reagan grow and change are precious to me.

Today we are celebrating by having a party at the Riverfront Park Railway. There is a miniature train that the kids can ride on so we have rented that out for a few hours. Of course I will post pictures later.

Happy Happy Sixth Birthday

This is my sweet, smart, lovable niece, Sofia. She was born six years ago today. This photo was taken a few days after Reagan was born in 2006 and of course she is a lot bigger now. I don't get to see her as often as I would like but she always has more than enough love to give me each time we do see eachother. We can't wait for her visit in a few weeks so we can properly celebrate her and Reagan's birthdays.

A little embarrassed to admit I like this song

I love this song. I want to marry it. You like?

Oh it's been a while

2008-05-16T13:49:00.000-07:00

I first have to apologize for not updating this blog in forever. I left for a three week trip to Phoenix and lost my momentum. I did not even blog about the trip which was fantastic.

Reagan was amazing on the flight both ways. Did not sleep but didn't make a peep either. My sister Ingrid and her husband warmly hosted me, Reagan then Nyssa and Evan, then my mom flew in from Chile, then my cousin Victor and his girlfriend. Add Sofia and Monica and we had a full house. Oh, and did i mention we were down to one toilet, the washer broke and the kitchen sink was plugged. For your information I did not break the toilet, promise! I think Reagan's favorite part f the trip was Marcela and her baa baa's. I know that Reagan is a flirt but he was totally taken by my cousin's girlfriend.

Oh, yeah, there was that one trip to the Emergency room too. Don't worry, i am fine now.

I started working out full swing once i got home. I have been working out with a wonderful trainer 3 times a week and taking a bike class the other two days. My trainer told me that biking is probably the best exercise you can do for your body. He told this to someone who HATES to be on a bike. You know why i hate being on a bike? Because this body has never been on a road bike. I am more comfortable and i can move more freely and faster too! I can even do it with those funny shoes that click in to the pedals. I think i have found a new passion. At least one that will hold me over until ski season begins. There is a women's bike ride that I joined that rides 15-20 miles on an evening to a restaurant or winery then you are driven back to your cars in a plush limo. Now that is my kind of riding. I want to ask Taro if he would like to do a tandem ride together but don't know if he will really go for it.

Super Saturday

2008-03-04T16:04:00.001-08:00

A few Saturdays ago I asked a dear friend of mine to meet me for an early breakfast. She declined. Something about training for a half marathon or something. But she did agree to meet for coffee and then pop into the antique shops next door. What could be better than having coffee with one of your best friends and her adorable little girl and then going antiquing?! She has this gorgeous collection of glass pieces that I have always admired and for my birthday last year she gave me my first pieces.

Thanks, Jen, for giving me the most wonderful Saturday and for the gorgeous treasures you sent me home with that day.

XM Thriller

2008-03-03T09:14:00.001-08:00

Anyone who know me knows how much I love XM. It has a station for all my moods and musical tastes. I usually listen to Good Morning America on 155 in the mornings and Broadminded from 9-12 on 155. And for the month of March XM added a new channel on 63 called Thriller. It is all Michael Jackson and I love it! I always say the my ass gets on fire when I hear Michael he had such great songs with the best beats. I think it all started when my was seven my dad gave my mom a Sony Walkman and Michael's Thriller. I wore the batteries out on that thing. Now the guy freaks me out. I don't know if someone that talented, brilliant and so much fame could possibly have all his marbles and lead a normal life.

Book Club

2008-03-03T08:07:00.000-08:00

The ladies met at my home last Thursday to discuss Water For Elephants. I tried to stick with the theme of the circus by serving popcorn and peanuts but of course I had to add chocolate and with chocolate comes wine! How is it possible to not drink the wonderful wines from our Columbia Valley? Our next pick is Under The Banner of Heaven by one of my favorite writers, Jon Krakauer. What are you reading? Any recommendations?

Let's Get Physical!

2008-02-27T11:59:00.000-08:00

After a very long hiatus from the gym, I finally went back today. I have been meaning to go back for months but things like skiing and a kid needing a nap have gotten in the way. I prefer to go first thing in the morning, it just sets the day right that way.
Taro and I are going to Cancun at the end of May for a dear friends wedding and I want to rock my swimsuit. That means I'd like to lose about seven pounds and 5% body fat. Ouch! With hard work and determination I think I can do it...I just need to get rid of all the dark chocolate that I have hidden around the house.

Sun Mountain Lodge Getaway

2008-02-26T23:23:00.000-08:00

This past weekend we loaded up the car and drove to Sun Mountain Lodge where Taro had a Cardiac Conference. This resort is located about 2 hours north in the Methow Valley. While Taro was in his conference on Saturday, Reagan and I set out on the trails and these are the photos that I took. I am so happy that our child loves the snow as much as he does. If he is cranky all you have to say is, mountain, snow or boots and his mood instantly changes. I love it, I hope that never goes away.

I don't like to get my hands dirty

2008-02-26T10:54:00.000-08:00

Reagan really enjoys the roasted chicken from Costco. So do I. It is yummy, cheap and easy. The only thing is that i really dislike cutting the meat from the bone/carcass. Grosses me out and I hate nothing more than greasy hands and fingers. I found a wonderful solution to this problem the other day during a visit to Costco. I noticed one of the workers preparing those prepackaged dinners of enchiladas. She had on latex gloves and was ripping and shredding the meat of the bone. GENIUS! So I grabbed a chicken and threw some latex gloves in the cart and came home. The key is to let the chicken cool just a bit, so you don't burn your fingers, before you start tearing off the meat. Don't refrigerate it and leave it for later, you won't get as much meat off that way. Follow these tips and you'll get more for your money and have clean hands left.
I re-heat it by putting the chicken on our Grill/Panini press. Oh, and you bet I am gonna blog about that fine appliance.

I thought about posting pictures but that is just gross.

Happy 27 Birthday JT!

My Bucket List

2008-01-25T14:28:00.000-08:00

I have not seen this movie (or any other for that matter) but hope to maybe once it comes out on DVD. I really like Rob Reiner's film's and enjoy Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. Since this movie has come out a lot of people have made their "Bucket List". Here is mine.

Visit the Galapagos Islands
Play with baby tigers
Play with baby grizzlies
Travel the Mediterranean by private boat
Watch Polar Bears by Snowcat
travel on the Orient Express
Lovely vacation with family (mom, dad, bro, sisters, in-laws, etc.)
attend a fashion show during fashion week in Paris
Visit all Seven Wonders of the World
Inspire someone
Karaoke
Drive a race car
Learn to cook and like it
make a quilt

I have another list of things I would like to do and places I would like to visit but I know that it will be completed sooner rather than later because Taro and I share the same passion for travel. I love that!

My Christmas Puppy

2008-01-18T14:28:00.000-08:00

I just snapped these pictures of Henry. Isn't he just yummy? Look at his cute lil' paws!

More Flowers

2008-01-18T14:22:00.000-08:00

I have to share another photo of my flowers that I received for my birthday. Taro brought me home the ones on the left and here are some of the cards I received. Don't you just love getting things in the mail?

2008-01-15T15:13:00.001-08:00

Yes, I realize our Christmas tree is still up. For your information it is the only Christmas item that is still up in our house. A word of advice: don't ever get a flocked tree. Although incredibly beautiful, the lights are impossible to take off and our city garbage won't accept flocked trees. We will have to pay a fee of thirty dollars, I think to take to the dump. I love the look of a flocked tree. I would do it again if it wasn't so hard to dispose of.

Happy Birthday to ME

2008-01-15T14:36:00.000-08:00

I just came home and found the most beautiful flower arrangement I have ever seen! The givers know me very well and they should, it's my wonderful family. Thank you so much Mom & Dad, Ingrid, Bill, Sofia, Toti and Marcos. I love it, fragrant too!

Tonight Taro is taking me to see a show called Trailer Park Musical. I'm very excited to dress up and have an evening out with my husband.

Happy Birthday

2008-01-08T19:57:00.000-08:00

Today is my nephew, Evan's birthday. He is turning 13 and I still can't get over it. A handsome boy he has turned out to be. Evan was a really adorable baby and so good too. Ah, my heart is melting just thinking about it. I remember I would always ask him to let me hold him like a baby even when he got to be to big and heavy to carry.
Happy Birthday, Evan. I hope you have the best day! I love you.

18 Month Well Check

2008-01-07T22:11:00.000-08:00

Reagan's 18 month (a month later) well check was today and here is his stat's.
Weight: 24 lbs
Height: 32 inches
Head: 48 cm

His pediatrician wants to have his hearing checked because he still isn't saying anywords. At this point I am not concerned. I have no doubt in my mind that his hearing isn't good but the Dr. feels it's best to have it checked.

In Case You Were Wondering...

2008-01-06T22:02:00.001-08:00

...how I spent my Saturday.
Had breakfast and coffee and watched, I am embarrassed to say, Newport Harbor and Real World Sydney.
Got my nails done (OPI Sweet Heart). I love pink shades.
Played fetch outside with Henry.
Had lunch while reading the Wenatchee Business Journal. COVER TO COVER!
Took a yummy nap.
Missed and thought about Reagan almost every moment.

Happy Epiphany of the Lord

2008-01-06T21:30:00.000-08:00

The Christmas Season this last year has been very special to me and I hope to continue some really great traditions. I have tried really, really hard not to get caught up in the stresses that come this time of year and truly focus and remember the reason for the season.
One of the things that I did this year was make an Advent wreath . By placing it on our dining table it helped us to remember to pray before every meal and and think about the upcoming birth of Christ.
Our nativity set was slowly put together. First the manger and animals were put up, then Mary and Joseph were added. We of course waited until Christmas to add baby Jesus. I can't wait until Reagan is older and he can understand all this. I hope to put the Three Wise Men somewhere in the house and slowly move them closer to the scene.
And to today we celebrated and went to an Epiphany Party at church and I plan to take down our decorations tonight. I can't wait until next year!

Freedom!

2008-01-05T09:22:00.001-08:00

What to do!? Today i have the day all to my self. Taro and Reagan headed up to the mountain for some skiing and Reagan is in the mountain childcare. I am in heaven right now. The house is clean and quiet, love it. Hmm, I am thinking of getting my hair and nails done, meeting a friend for lunch and then coming home and reading a book. A nap sounds good too! What would you do?

All my life I have wanted to wear glasses and I finally have my wish! I have always thought I had perfect vision but I have never been comfortable with driving at night. Especially in the rain. I went to an eye doctor and he told me I have a stigmatism and fitted me for eyeglasses with an anti-reflective coating. What do you know, I can see. Crisper too. There is a slight difference with my vision but brightness and glare does not bother me anymore. What do you think of my new glasses?

Christmas Morning

We went to Mass this evening, came home and put Reagan in the tub while Taro prepared a delicous feast. Reagan went blissfully to sleep and I had the yummiest prime rib dinner. Our busy s"elves" are assembling Reagan's toys for tomorrow. I can't wait to see his face!
Wishing you all Christmas blessings.

Introducing Henry Oliver Cole Masuda

2007-12-02T23:14:00.000-08:00

Yes, I am finally posting about our new family member. Henry came to us by way of the wonderful Festival of Trees. This year's festival featured a puppy themed tree called, Happy Howlidays. It was a beautiful flocked tree with a tartan plaid and black color scheme. Very sophisticated. The tree came with wonderful gifts such as dog obedience lessons, food, toys, vaccinations and check-ups for a year, etc. Oh, did I mention it also came with an adorable puppy?! Taro and I ducked out of the Gala to take a sneak peek of the puppy before the auction got underway and we couldn't resist his cuteness and puppy breath, we had to have him. It was a very excting auction and I became so confused but my wonderful husband would not be outbid! That's my man, I love auctions! Henry is adjusting fine to our home. He is such a good, well-behaved puppy. The best part is that he was already potty trained. Henry's gets his beauty from his mother who is a Golden Retriever and his father who is a Black Labrador. A hybrid dog, how progressive of us.

Goood Morning America!

2007-11-29T19:56:00.000-08:00

Yawn! Boy am I beat! Would you believe it if I told you I woke up at 2:30am this morning? Two friends and myself braved the snow and cold (with Starbucks) and drove to Leavenworth to watch a taping of Good Morning America. Hoping to be discovered, we chased down cameramen and shoved our way past kids with signs. I Tivo'ed the whole thing and if you have high-def t.v. you may be able to see a sliver of us.
If you look real close in the photo above, right below the sign that reads, "Hi Katie, Katie Liz, etc.", in the green brimmed hat, is my friend Brianne, thats MY head she is talking to. ah, well, I'm going to bed. you can see more photos here.

Vacation

2007-11-27T17:03:00.000-08:00

I am finally posting about our fantastic family vacation that we took in October.

This year we returned to the gorgeous Mexican Caribbean. We had such a great time at this resort last year so we booked it again. Normally when Taro and I have traveled we like to explore the location and do things on our own. Traveling with a child is another story and I feel that all-inclusive is the only way to do it. The best thing about this place is that childcare is also inclusive and boy did we use it. With Reagan's skin and his allergies the hot, humid weather didn't agree with him and it turned out he was the only child being cared for that week. So he was able to have two wonderful gals look after him and burn of some energy during the day. In the late afternoon we would bring him back to our palapa by the pool and munch on snacks or take naps. Ah, the life.

Set your Tivo!

2007-11-27T16:08:00.000-08:00

I know, I know. I promised details about our new family member and I'll get right to it as soon as I get the energy.
In the meantime, some girlfriends of mine and I will be headed to Leavenworth at the early hour of 3am in hopes to get on camera while Good Morning America is being taped. Tivo GMA for this Thursday!

Countdown to Friday evening has begun! Friday evening the three of us depart to Mexico. We are staying at the same fantastic place as last year. Yes, the one with childcare included!
I have so, so much to do before our trip. This evening I have two volunteer meeting with another one tomorrow evening. Yikes, I am not in freak out mode yet, that will probably happen at about 10pm Thursday night.
This is a picture of Reagan slumbering under a palapa last year.

This is me

2007-10-09T19:39:00.000-07:00

This is me. The past 48 hours I have felt like the cat in this photo and i have nobody to blame but myself. Once again I have bit off more than I can chew and overcommitted myself to too much responsibility and volunteer work. The real secret is that I kind of get off on it.
October and November are usually my busy months then comes December and the stresses of all that comes with that month. At least I have January to look forward to and celebrating my birthday with family and good friends.
I am involved with our valleys Festival of Trees which is held the weekend before Thanksgiving. I am the co-chair for the decorated trees, the whole reason for the event! I feel that I owe so much to the Festival, not only because it supports our Performing Arts Center but because this is where I have made great and wonderful friendships. My favorite part of the Festival is the Gala and Dinner Auction. I love auctions, live ones, silent ones, it don't matta'! The day after the Festival is over I fall into a bit of a funk because it has ended. But then it's full swing again come May.
I am also a member of a valley Guild here in town. It is made up of 50 amazing women where we support needy children and families in our community. Each October we sell live wreaths and garlands to raise money for a chosen charity. We are also planning a 60th anniversary gala in March and I have volunteered for the invitation and guests committee.
Recently a friend introduced me to another friend of hers who started a toybrary in Philadelphia (website comming soon). She plans on opening one up here and is looking for a committee. Taro is going to kill me. No, really, he is very supportive. He also enjoys telling me, "I told you so" when I am working until the early morning because my deadline was yesterday and I begged for an extension and I am still late turning in my designer profiles to the printer!

Eskimo Pie

2007-09-27T19:42:00.000-07:00

Today is my favorite older sister's birthday. She is almost 10 years older than but we have a very close and awesome relationship. Most siblings with such a huge age difference have more of a motherly type relationship but Ingrid and I are true sista's! I have the greatest childhood memories because of her. I went everywhere with her when I was a little girl and had always thought I had the coolest sister never knowing that she was really babysitting me, I just thought I was special and that she and her friends wanted to hang out with me. You can all thank Ingrid for my smooth dance moves too. I can't help but think of Ingrid and me dancing in her room every time I hear Funkytown.
The older we get the deeper and closer our relationship has become. We are now both wives and mothers and and I don't really see her as "older" than me anymore. She has a young spirit and I pray she never lets go of that. Ingrid, thank you for being such a wonderful sister and keeping me sane and in-check when I need it. I love you, happy 42!

Must have this!

2007-08-24T22:46:00.000-07:00

Oh how I love these cake plates. I would bake dozens of cupcakes and top them with yummy pink, yellow, and green cream cheese frosting then arrange them on these cake plates. I am really excited about Martha's new line at Macys.

Can't keep up!

2007-08-24T22:04:00.000-07:00

The Tacoma is gone. I had no idea I would have such a hard time letting go of a vehicle. We listed it on Craigslist and it sold within 48 hours. The first person that came to look at it I overheard him telling his friend how he wanted to make some changes to the body and bumper, NEXT! The second man that came by Taro and I both had a good feeling about him. He just matched the truck, literally. His whole color scheme that day even his hat and boots! I took the truck out for a drive before the buyer came by to pick it up and had a little cry. Ah, I miss it.

My mom came for a visit a few weeks ago. Reagan and I drove to Seattle to pick her up. We had some lunch, went to Nordstrom and got the heck out of the city and came home. Ay, I could never live in a city again. Traffic gives me anxiety! Seriously.
It was incredible having my mama here. She was such an enormous help with Reagan and preparing meals. We took advantage of it her mad cooking skills and froze some meals. mmm Charquican (made with ground beef!). Everyone knows I am a mama's girl so it was especially hard to say goodbye. We are all hoping that she can come back and stay with Reagan while Taro and I attend a wedding in Mexico this March. Oh, please, please!

Other than that our summer has been pretty quiet and uneventful. Reagan has kept us both very busy. The past few months have been so much fun and entertaining. He actually plays with his toys rather than just putting them in his mouth. He loves bouncy balls and trucks. Such a boy, this one. Garbage day is huge around here. We sit in front of the window or go outside and watch our container full of atomic diapers being dumped into the truck. He loves it.

I have been teaching him sign language and it is really exciting to have him communicate with us. So far he knows eat, drink, bye/ciao, rain (thanks to itsy bitsy spider), sleep (my favorite) and baa baa or milk (or breastmilk if you will). I would tell a funny story about baa baa's and a friend but this friend reads this blog and I would like to keep her as a friend.

I think it is important to mention Reagan's favorite things. Blankies and all things soft. In the morning when he wakes he holds his arms out for us then plops back down, grabs his blankie and demands out! He carries it all over the house and at times will suddenly cuddle with it on the floor for a bit then pop back up and chase us or the cat. He also does this with a stuffed puppy animal. oh, so cute.

Thanks for the memories

2007-07-20T19:05:00.000-07:00

Taro and I have decided to sell our beloved Tacoma. This was one of Taro's many vehicles that he had in college and I am guessing it was his favorite. When I first met him I actually saw this truck in a parking lot where we first met first. I had always liked guys with trucks and thought you could tell a lot about the person by the way it was outfitted. Well, this particular truck on this particular day was totally outfitted to my taste. It was nice and shiny with a lift (not too high) a hefty brush bar and a rack with a pair of ski's atop. I always tease Taro that I fell in love with the truck first.
The truck really hasn't been driven for about a year now. Reagan's car seat is too big for the cab and I don't feel comfortable putting him in the front even with the airbags turned off. It does make me very sad to be selling it because we have had some really great trips in it. Hopefully we can find a good home for it.

Hallelujah!

2007-07-12T20:06:00.000-07:00

This morning Taro and i woke to the joyful sounds of Reagan wanting to be picked up out of his crib. It was 7:30am and i had realized that Reagan had, OMG!, slept through the night! Twelve and a half hours of uninterupted sleep! Reagan has always been about going to sleepand being put down for a nap. He understands that the crib is for sleeping only and doesn't really put up a fight when we put him in there. Fact is he LOVES his crib and his blankie. I can't remember the last time i sung him a lullabye while patting him on om shoulder because he always lunges for the crib then attacks the blankie as if saying, "where have you been all my life". Staying asleep is another story. His naps rarely push past an hour and a half and he usually goes to bed at 6pm, wakes up around 1am demanding to have his diaper changed, nursing at about 2am and again at 5 or 6 am then finally waking at about 8am and still taking 2 naps during the day. I pray and pray that last night was not a one time thing. Lord, please hear my prayer.
UPDATE- Reagan took two naps today! The first lasted two and a half hours (unheard of!)and the second was 2.

WTF?!

2007-07-11T22:45:00.000-07:00

I have wasted many precious hours trying to figure out why my posts of YouTube, Pictobrowser and Scrapblog is being chopped on the right side. If anyone knows, please help a girl out.

I am loving this song. I even have it as my ring tone. I know, I am 15 years old. Everytime this song comes on Reagan and I break it down! I think I even caught Taro singing it.

Reagan's Jungle Safari Party

2007-06-27T20:56:00.001-07:00

Last Saturday we held celebrated Reagan's First Birthday Party at a local park. I will admit I went against everything I have ever said about children's parties (especially those who are too young to remember) and went absolutely nuts. I chose Jungle Safari as the theme and had so much fun decorating and finding different items for the party. We even had animal print ballons and a lion pinata!
We had about 15 "little guests" along with their mom's and dads to wish Reagan a happy birthday. Thank you to all of our wonderful friends and family for all the nice cards, phone calls, and gifts.

2007-06-17T15:34:00.001-07:00

My Taro has been gone 16 nights and 17 days. That is 16 times I have had to put Reagan to bed by myself and been woken by him and 17 days I have had to race while eating and showering and keeping Reagan happy. Taro comes home this evening and I couldn't be more happy. Taro and his dad have such an amazing relationship, I've never seen anything like it. The love and respect that the two have for eachother is beautiful and inspiring. The moment we found out we where having a boy my first thought was Taro's dad and I knew that Reagan and Taro would share the same thing. Happy Father's Day, Taro. I love you.

We've Come A Long Way Baby

2007-06-14T13:07:00.000-07:00

A year ago this morning my little 8 7.5 oz frog baby came into my life smelling like waffles with yummy maple syrup. He was born around breakfast and that is what the hospital was serving so now I think of his birth when I smell waffles and syrup. Lovely.
This year has been more than tough but the reward has been so great. A wise friend told me that with a baby your life doesn't change, you get a new one. Boy, was she right! I love my new life and wouldn't change it for anything. I have a sidekick that laughs at my funny faces, enjoys my singing and dancing and he loves to shop! What more could a mom ask for? Reagan, you melt my heart.

Scrapblog

2007-06-12T20:57:00.000-07:00

This is a fantastic website that I just discovered and have been wasting all my precious sleep time on. I have never been very creative and not much of a scrapbooker but they make it so easy and fun to do. Everyone should try it, I know you'll be hooked too.

Happy Birthday Sofia

2007-06-12T19:21:00.000-07:00

Today my niece Sofia turns five. I hear that she has really been looking forward to this birthday because apparently five is when you start loosing your teeth. Yeah, I don't think that will last very long.

Reagan and I visited Sofia in April for a few weeks and I am truly amazed at how intelligent she is. She was reading all sorts of books to Reagan, difficult books at that! She sure has a great sense of humor and was a good sport with all my teasing. Happy Birthday Sofia, I love you!

I found this picture in my files and just melted when I saw it. I think it was taken in December of 2004.

I Have Trick-a-nosis!

2007-06-10T21:27:00.000-07:00

Reagan loves, loves his blankets. If I need to distract him or keep him entertained I just throw a blanket where ever I need him to be. He lunges and tackles it and cuddles with it. It is really adorable.

I have been trying to lure him with toys to get him to walk on his own and nothing has worked. Then today I had a brilliant idea and grabbed one of his beloved blankies and wouldn't you know it, his eyes get huge and he takes about five to six steps before falling. I am a genius. He is so going to be walking for his birthday!

First Steps

2007-06-08T22:26:00.001-07:00

My little stinker pinker pumpkin pie took his first steps this morning at the park...on the grass. Reagan was holding on to my leg while I was talking to a friend and maybe he became bored and decided, "hey, I'm outta here" and took three steps before falling on his hands. He did it again once we got home. Ofcourse this has to happen while Taro is out of town.
This year has really gone by so fast and it makes me sad at times. I would do anything to hold his tiny little frog baby body again or have his tiny hand grasp my thumb. I have to remind myself to savor every precious moment.

Happy Birthday Mommy

2007-06-08T00:00:00.000-07:00

Mommy, I love you and miss you more than you will ever know. If you were here with us we would eat Village Inn Strawberry Waffles, watch Singing in the Rain and eat cheesecake with tea.

Reading

2007-06-07T15:42:00.000-07:00

This book was chosen for one of my book clubs and I am so glad that it was. It is a true story told and written by two very different men. I don't want to go into detail about it because I think everyone should read it. It's that good.

The next book we will be reading is Barack Obama's Audacity of Hope. I hope I like it.

I'm Your Boogie Man

2007-06-06T23:07:00.000-07:00

Growing up my parents always had the stereo on and I have always loved dancing. I have great memories dancing with my dad while I stood on his feet, swinging to Glen Miller with Toti in the kitchen and going to Funky Town with Ingrid upstairs in her room. Marcos sort of danced while doing air guitar. Does that qualify? I have made it a point to always have music on in the house and I've grown very tired of our collection of CD's so I listen to the local radio station. Husband, we. need. XM. at. home! Reagan has started to kind of sort of dance now. Sometimes it is a bounce a wiggle and while sitting it is a squirm but he only does it when he hears music so I believe he is dancing. His favorite song? Avril Lavigne, Girlfriend.

Guilty Pleasure Flavor of Love:Charm School

2007-06-06T22:44:00.000-07:00

Holy crap, I love this show! My Tivo has a season pass. Tonight I sat down with non-buttered popcorn, chocolate chips (couldn't find Non-Pareils) and coca-cola and watched the first two episodes. My favorite person so far is Becky "Buckwild". She reminds me so much of a friend of mine who also has the best sense of humor and says the most outrageous, hilarious things. I hope Becky makes it to the end and Schatar goes down!
What is your guilty pleasure?

Family Outing

2007-06-02T23:02:00.000-07:00

Last week the three of us went for a day hike and broke in our kid carrier backpack. In the three years we have lived here I can't belive we have never visited Ohme Gardens. Beautiful place with gorgeous views of our wonderful town. What an inspiration for our own garden too.

New Year 2003 was the second best (how can anything compare to New Years in Vina del Mar, Chile on the water?!). My dream came true when we were snowed in in a warm and cozy cabin in the the Lake Tahoe area with dear friends. I wish we would have planned better and brought along more junk food!
This year we may celebrate in a different way. A baby sure does change things. Here's a toast to a most fantastic 2007 and that we may never forget our many blessings.

Taro and I went skiing today for the second time in a LONG time (thanks a lot Reagan!) Santa gave Reagan a day care pass at the ski area so mommy and daddy can have more dates like this. Sure feels good to get back on the mountain, especially on my brand new skis!
