Wish List Wednesday



Can't believe it's been a week since I last posted already. Ok, so here are my wishes this week...may seem silly to some but I don't think they are:

A little FL getaway with my boys!! I think we could really use a little down time but unfortunately right now that won't be happening for a while but that's what a wish list is for right?
A nice golf getaway for my amazing hubby. He truly is the best man I know and I think he deserves this plus a million other things more than anyone out there.

And this is the cutest/coolest thing that I would like for Jack right now. He loves thinking that he is helping everyone and I think he would relaly get a kick out of this:

Wish List Wednesday

Ok, I've seen this done on many other blogs around, mainly this fellow Bumpie and figured I would play along. Here is my wishlist...there aren't many things that I really want these days but if I could wish for them, this is what they would be:

A new Macbook, preferably the MacBook Air, it's so light and just smooth looking. Our current MacBook needs a new hard drive and even though we don't have the money for a new one and it's cheaper to just replace the hard drive than buy a whole new computer, one can dream right:

Another thing I would love, but wouldn't everyone, is a money tree, a real one, one that grows actual money off of it without a limit:

and lastly for now I guess I would love a new camera, there is nothing wrong with mine and I honestly do love it, it's easy to use and small but I do love the Nikon's and would love love love me a Nikon D60:

So...there you have it, all my wants for right now...what are yours?

Coupons, Coupons, Coupons

Ok, so one of our resolutions this year, I'm sure just like a lot of people, is to try and save as much money as we possibly can! I am starting where we spend a big chunk of money and that is groceries! I am hoping to get as much help from every one as I can so here is where you all come in...if you can please leave a comment here and let me know what is your favorite and most useful coupon site to get coupons you can print off line and any other tidbits that would be great! I look forward to reading what everyone has to say!!

Choo Choo, Choo Choo!!!

This is what I hear most of the day that I am home with Jack. He has acquired this new obsession with Thomas the Train, or actually any kind of train or car really, but he is showing a big preference for Thomas these days. For Christmas we...I mean Santa...got him some Geo Trax that are trains and train tracks, a few Thomas trains that either go with batteries or are just for him to push around on his own and also some dvd's. Well...now the dvd's have become a bit of an obsession! Jack will now take the dvd case bring it to you, point to the TV and say Choo Choo, chugga chugga, Choo Choo until you give in and put the dvd on. If you are lucky you might get to divert his attention to something else for a little but but usually he is pretty determined to have the dvd played! So, we now have a dvd in the player upstairs and downstairs just so that it's ready to go when his majesty (haha) requests it!

I thought i had a while before he was old enough to have a character preference/obsession but I guess not. I guess I need to start looking in to Thomas Live or something like that! Here are a few more pictures to go along with this post:

Our Year in Review

2009 was quite the year, we reached many many new milestones with Jack, experienced the world in a whole new light through his eyes and just really enjoyed watching him become the toddler that he now is (how did that happen by the way?!?!?!). The year itself had it's ups and downs and we have all grown and learned from all of that has happened.

Here are a few pictures to review our year:
January - Our first pictures of 2009:
Jack turned 7 months old & met curious george for the first time :o) -
February brought us Jack's first Valentine's day, turning 8 months & meeting his Great Great Aunt Anna:

In March we tried Gymboree for the first time, Jack wasn't a huge fan, we also went in a swing at the park for the first time and that was a hit! My friend Kelly also came up from TX and we got to meet up & have our boys meet each other, it was so much fun!

In April we introduced Jack to Grandma & Grandpa's new puppy and they are now BFF's :o) We also had Jack's 1st Easter, a Yankee game, tough guy faces in the boogey down bronx!
May was another good month, we started 'walking' (with the help of toys & furniture mostly), became part of a band (well Uncle's band let him use their tambourine a little), had more play dates with Jack's BFF Matthew, and just enjoyed the nice weather:

Finally June came around and Jack turned the big 1. We celebrated at home the day of and then had his 1st birthday party the next day. We also got to take him for his very first haircut:

In July we took Jack on his second trip to FL. We had a great time, relaxed, played at the pool and Jack got to meet some of his cousins again :o)
August was full of fun, we had our first playdate with a girl!, a trip to the zoo in NJ with Cindy & Matthew & cousin Ryan's Christening:September was a rough month, we started it off by Jack falling on labor day weekend and knocking out most of one of his front teeth and then having the rest of it removed. I think, well I know, I was more shaken up about all of it than he was but luckily after all was said and done he was back to his regular self. More pay dates with Matthew were even had, the boys have so much fun together!
Joe turned the big 3-0 in October and we headed back down to FL to celebrate. We took Jack to see the Yankees play Tampa Bay in Tampa and even though the Yanks lost we had a great time! Jack also got to see his Gram again and his cousins, it was a fun trip. Oh, let's not forget that Joe & I had a great night out at the Yankees ALCS game 6 where they won to bring themselves to the World Series!!!


























We started the Holiday season off in November with Thanksgiving with family which is where we started to see Jack's 'stranger anxiety' come in to play where it never really showed before. It took him a little while but he warmed up and had a great time! We also learned this month that he is a big fan of Frito's corn chips just like momma :o)

































Last but certainly not least we bring you to December. Jack got to meet Santa, had his pictures taken with mommy,daddy & his cousin Ryan too. We also had 2 snow storms so Jack has gotten to play out in the snow with Grandpa and his buddy Cosmo. Ohhh...Jack also turned 18 months this month, Santa brought him lots of presents and he even got to spend some of Christmas day (well night actually) with his BFF Matthew :o)












































































































So that was our year, long post I know, but a lot went on and we had a good year (for the most part). Here's to a happy & healthy 2010 :o)
