Cousins
This past Sunday, our cousin Leah and her little boy Caiden came over to visit us. Caiden is a about 2 and half months younger than AJ. We took them over to the park to play and they had alot of fun. They got to ride over to the park in AJ's two seater wagon, that he got last year for his birthday. It was so cute to see two little guys riding in that wagon! Here are a few pictures of there fun at the park.

Awesome new product!
This stuff is awesome! I recently started using these products on AJ, because I noticed his skin was getting really dry and he was getting some really dry spots. I read about it on another Mom's blog and she was right, this stuff is great! In just a few days I can tell a huge difference!
Check it out: California Baby
I found it at a much more reasonable price at Target, but they of course don't carry the whole line of products. I specifically have been using this on AJ's diaper rash over the last couple of days and poof it healed it up fast! And it smells way better than most products! And it is very soft on his bottom.

We are also using this and he loved the smell of it the bath!

AJ has a new friend!
We decided, well I decided that AJ should have a Goldfish like Elmo does. You know Elmo has Dorothy, his pet Goldfish on Seasme Street, so I though it would be fun for AJ to have one too. Gilbert really wasn't on board with this whole idea, but he caved in anyway and off we went to take AJ to his first trip to the Pet Store last saturday. So here is our new family member
"Bubba Albert"
And if your wondering why we named him Bubba, it is because AJ can actually say Bubba! I haven't taped him saying yet, but when I do, I will post a clip.

10 Things Happy Couples do!
I came across this list and I found it pretty interesting. In a couple of months we will be celebrating our 8 wedding anniversary and we have been together now 11 years almost. I am thankful everyday for having such a good partner, and friend in Gilbert. He loves me for who I am and I love him for who he is. This list really does make sense!
10 Things Happy Couples Do
by Teresa, The CuteKid™ Staff
Some couples just have to seem to have that extra something that makes their marriage great. But exactly what are those secrets of happily married couples; what they do that others don't? Read on for 10 activities that happy couples do.
1. Go to bed together. Going to bed at the same time shows that you want to experience the closeness that can only be found in bed. I have found that some of our best conversations occur with my head on my husband's shoulder lying in bed. My husband likes to stay up later than I do. But he also likes to cuddle with me in bed. So sometimes he will
go to bed with me and then get back up after we've had our cuddle time.
2. Have shared interests. Sharing your interests & ideas with life partner is
one of the activities of happy Couples. Stay together find things that they both enjoy doing. Before we had children my husband and I enjoyed four-wheeling in my husband's jeep
3. Hold hands. Holding hands shows that you are still in love. That you cherish just touching your partner and need that connection whether you are walking through a store or just sitting on the couch. Holding hands and walking side by side shows that you feel it is important that you are together in the things that you do
4. Focus on the positive. Remaining positive is one of the important secrets of happy married couples.. Everyone has something that they dislike about their spouse whether it is that he bites his fingernails or she spends too much money on clothes. But couples that are happy focus more on the positive things about their spouse than the negative. They look not at the few things their spouse does wrong - but all of the things that they do right.
5. Forgive. One of the hardest things to do is to forgive. But couples that are happily married forgive freely forgive each other. Not only do they forgive each other, but they also do not bring up past mistakes. Once the misdeed is forgiven it is also forgotten.
6. Say I love you. "I love you," is a very important sentence for happy married couples they like to tell each other. When you say the words you are reminding your spouse and reaffirming for yourself of the love that you feel.
7. Communicate. Commmunicate to stay connected with spouse. Communication is a secret to remain a happily married couple for years. Couples who can talk to each other stay together. Being able to communicate means that you can share the good things and discuss problems without getting angry. It also means that you probably talk to each other throughout the day. My husband and I communicate through email and phone calls during the day then always take time to talk to each other every evening.
8. Compromise. Sometimes you will disagree and that's when compromising comes into play. If both spouses learn to give then both will be happy.
9. Share affection. Giving affection through hugs, kisses, and touching, is important. It creates a bond and keeps the romantic feelings alive.
10. Show respect. Each spouse needs to respect the other and their desires. Mutual respect means that consideration is taken for the others feelings.
If you don't already do all ten things try incorporating some of these ideas into your own marriage.

Getting back into the groove!
Well I know I have been lazy about blogging lately but I am going to get back into the groove! This past month has been kind of uneventful, plus the hard drive in my iMac died, so it was at the Apple store for about a week and half getting a new one. Thank goodness it was still under the extended protection plan or it would cost me a pretty penny! Well I was at the Apple store I made my final decision, I am definitely upgrading to an iPhone when this contract ends on my Motorola Q. I was going to get a Blackberry Storm, but they really don't compare to an iPhone and well after all " I am a MAC not a PC"!!!
Well here is my little tater tot, being his usually super cute self!
