We hope that you have heard from us personally, but in the event we have been unable to reach you; Kristi passed away suddenly early this morning while visiting family in Arizona. Our entire family is grief-stricken at the loss of our beautiful and kind-hearted wife, mother, sister, cousin and friend. <br />
<br />
<br />
At the same time we wish to express our deep love and appreciation to all of those who have touched her life and continue to bless her and her family with your outpouring of love and concern. Thank you for the support you have given Kristi as she shared her challenges, goals, and dreams with you through her love of blogging. <br />
<br />
I will update with information about memorial services as soon as they are finalized. Please feel free to post a comment here or send a private message if you would like to be contacted directly by a family member.<br />
<br />
Sincerely, <br />

We had a great time looking at the beautiful- AMAZING displays of nativities and then spent time doing crafts and games. One thing I didn't expect was that I would be dressing up as Mary before the night was through. But I guess that's what happens when you have a 4 year old. Zorro saw the people dressing up and getting photos taken and wanted to join in. We completely encouraged it until we realized that he wanted us to be a part of that photo too. Well, I wasn't about to spoil that moment for him so I let them dress me and D let them dress him- OMG I can't believe D let them dress him!!!- and we set out to be Mary, Joseph and a Shepherd. The shepherd insisted I hold the "baby Jesus" doll.<br />
<br />
Just doing this dressing up made Zorro so happy, and I mean SO happy that he talked about it for a week several times a day. I LOVE that I didn't allow the fact that I was makeup free and hadn't showered in 2 days or even being too self conscious in general stop me from dressing up and smiling for a camera. To make my sweet boy that happy thrills me and I didn't miss our on that moment.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd share the photo with you for a little chuckle. and I must say for being make up free I looked pretty good! Don't let Zorro's lack of smile make you think he isn't just about the happiest kid in the world that moment. They just didn't get a good pic of him dang it!<br />

We loved it then and we love it even more now!<br />
There's not too many online games I let Zorro play, in fact there's only two and this is one of them.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://s413.photobucket.com/albums/pp214/JumpStart3D/Blog%20Pics/?action=view&current=firefox2009-02-2717-10-21-77.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Story Land - D" border="0" height="240" src="http://i413.photobucket.com/albums/pp214/JumpStart3D/Blog%20Pics/firefox2009-02-2717-10-21-77.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<a href="http://www.jumpstart.com/">JumpStart</a> is a virtual world with areas that are made for kids of different ages and learning is the name of the game. Our favorite StoryLand which is not a new addition but one that Zorro always goes back to because he loves it so much. There's games and activities galore and the graphics are really cool. There is honestly so much to do it's mind-boggling and a little overwhelming at first until you learn how to maneuver through. <br />

<a href="http://www.jumpstart.com/">JumpStart</a> is loaded with fun for kids of all ages! It's packed (and I mean PACKED) games and activities and they are constantly developing more, your kids will never get bored! OH! And a side note one membership account allows for 6 different logins so each of your kids has they're own world that they can save and go back to and not have to share. That's always a bonus!<br />
<br />
Don't miss out on the learning and FUN! <br />

This cute boy is officially 4 today! I can't believe it!!! I know we as moms say that all the time but I truly can't! Time flies, and frankly I don't like it. I love my sweet little munchkin, I want him to stay little!!!<br />
<br />
Today he's been saying all day long, "It's my Birtay!" I love how he says that.<br />
<br />
He is the most loving little guy. Today as we were driving home from the park (I KNOW I took him to the dreaded park!) he said, "You know what I am thinking about?" I said, "What are you thinking about?" He said, "I'm thinking about if I can hug you." SO SWEET! He also hugs and kisses me randomly through the day and tells me he loves me just because. Of course I do the same.<br />
<br />
I love this little dude!<br />

I know some people line up every year for a flu shot and take all their kids. I don't personally have a problem with it, but I honestly don't see the need. My thoughts are that it's not life threatening and it's fairly quick to get over. I'd rather not inject myself or my family with chemicals or the flu or both - whatever is in them.<br />
<br />
So why is that this year more than any other year they are PUSHING and I mean <span style="font-size: large;"><b>PUSHING</b></span> for people to get their shots? Maybe you haven't had the experiences that I have, then again maybe you got your shot so there is no reason for it but let me tell you I am SICK of the emails, calls and CONSTANT badgering by my health care professionals. <br />
<br />
Let me tell you about an experience:<br />
<br />
I was at the Dr about a month ago and the nurse says, "Have you had your flu shot?"<br />
"No"<br />
"Are you planning on getting a flu shot?"<br />
"No"<br />
"Well watch out Dr. A is going to push you she's really adamant about getting the flu shot."<br />
"Great"<br />
<br />
Then I go in the see the Dr.:<br />
Dr. A. "I see you haven't had the flu shot"<br />
"Nope"<br />
"Well I'll have my nurse get you one"<br />
"No thank you, I'm not interested"<br />
"Why?"<br />
"I don't want one, I don't feel the need for it."<br />
"Well, it's very important, I've seen quite a few women in the hospital hooked up to IVs because they chose not to get the flu shot."<br />
"OK, I'll still pass."<br />
"OKaaaaaay."<br />
<br />
EESH! And if that wasn't bad enough, I went back 2 weeks later:<br />
Nurse "I see Dr. A didn't convince you of getting the flu shot last time."<br />
"No but I'm sure she'll push again for it."<br />
"I'm certain of it, good luck."<br />
<br />
Dr. A "So you still haven't gotten your flu shot"<br />
"No"<br />
"Why not? What are you scared of"<br />
????? WHAT????<br />
"I'm not scared of anything, I don't want the flu shot, I don't feel that there is any need for it."<br />
"OK well I really think you should consider it."<br />
"No Thank you."<br />
<br />
SERIOUSLY! I have witnesses this is what happened!!! THEN they marked my profile as a non flu shot patient or something and EVERY Dr I see asks if I want a flu shot! Even the freaking Ophthalmologist!<br />
<br />
And why is she trying to "scare" me into getting a flu shot? <br />
<br />
-BTW I have Kaiser it's an HMO with an entirely interconnected system so every Dr. can see things and they can mark your profile with updates like this. <br />
<br />
So then I get an email from Kaiser saying that I have health reminders:<br />

Then yesterday I get a phone call with a message from Kaiser saying that one or more people in my household has not received the flu shot blah blah blah... <br />
<br />
SERIOUSLY?<br />
<br />
I have NEVER been so bombarded with "Must get your flu shot" messages. It's well past ridiculous now.<br />
<br />
So here's what I'd like to know: Is there something going on that I don't know about? Or are my Dr's getting kickbacks? Are the insurance companies getting government kickbacks? Are these shots funding something?<br />
<br />
IS THERE A CONSPIRACY???<br />

I just learned about these super cute and totally helpful little sox that are out called EZ Sox. They are made with little loops on the top and a cute picture that goes on the top of the foot so your toddlers can easily learn exactly how to put the sock on and have a much easier time of it!<br />

<br />
EZ Sox are also used at occupational and physical therapy centers for children younger and older who need a little extra help.<br />
<br />
I think this is such a fabulous idea! And they are super cute to boot! We were given a pair of the T-REX sox for Zorro to try out. He LOVED them!<br />

If you've been reading my blog for a while you know where I stand. Totally minivan mom with ONE child, mind you, and PROUD to rock my van everywhere I go. That's right. <br />
<br />
Let's just ponder just a few of the attributes of the fabulous minivan for just a second here:<br />
<ul><li>Sliding Doors- Shoot AUTOMATIC sliding doors. Need I tell you the many wonderful reasons for this fabulousness? OK since you asked...</li>
<ul><li>No kids slamming the car door open into the parked next you.</li>
<li>always able to open a door if someone parks so close you only have a sliver of room to get into your car.</li>
<li>Hands full of groceries and kids and only one finger will open the car. Beautiful.</li>
<li>What am I missing?</li>
</ul><li>LOADS of room and everything is easily accessible!</li>
<ul><li>These puppy's are made for families. There's tons of room and you can easily get to things (even when you're on a road trip and need to jump over to the back of the car-which I don't recommend but lets be honest here we all do it). </li>
</ul><li>Seats the fold and tuck away so once again everything is accessible and there's room for an entire house. Or at least room enough for when I go on a trip which is pretty much like bringing the whole house anyway because I DO NOT travel light let me tell you.</li>
</ul>So that's just a few things that make it brilliant. Among other things which aren't necessarily exclusive the a minivan but add to it's fabulousness are dual air system to kids don't fry or freeze because they aren't next to the air. Dual sound control, DVD players, plugs all over the car, a billion cup holders and more.<br />
<br />
So why on earth would you actually buy an SUV? Well there is the fact that you sit higher up. That's always a plus but when are start buying really large SUVs they become claustrophobic. They are beasts on the outside and all the room is taken up by the 2 & 3 rows of seats with about an inch of foot room. They are difficult to drive and guzzle far more gas than minivans.<br />
<br />
Really, I think SUVs are just minivans on steroids without any of the benefits. That's too bad. All for the sake of not wanting be "that" mom. I say embrace it! You're just fooling yourself if you think that massive beast is really any better than a minivan.Fresh Squeezed Orange Juicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11495190457884873075noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300076094657237560.post-35647885045270154422010-11-23T17:14:00.000-08:002010-11-23T17:14:46.239-08:00The Art of Zen- New Necklace Design & Black Friday SALE! {AND GIVEAWAY!}This little stamp arrived in my mailbox today out of the blue...someone was thinking about me....<br />

The cool way was just on one shoulder. So we'd walk around with out 30 plus pound backpacks and on one shoulder hunched over to keep it on and continually hiking it up back over our shoulders. What a pain! And how bad is that for your back?<br />
<br />
I was looking at these <a href="http://www.luggage.com/Sling-Backpacks-C55463.html">sling backpacks</a> and thinking what a better idea because you can distribute the weight evenly on your back. Now if they had one that would actually fit massive text books into.<br />
<br />
But they do have some really cute ones if you're into backpacks rather than purses. I love this one:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://common1.csnimages.com/lf/1/hash/708/1725762/1/Fashion+Avenue+Three-Zip+Hobo+Sling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://common1.csnimages.com/lf/1/hash/708/1725762/1/Fashion+Avenue+Three-Zip+Hobo+Sling.jpg" width="200" /> </a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I think its a more sleek take on the double shoulder backpack purses. Very cute.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I also think sling backpacks make a great diaper bag for dads! So much cooler than a flowery bag and easier to handle since it's on his back. Unless you have a regular Mr. Mom I bet he's appreciate something like that.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I absolutely MUST share with you this really exciting program that NASA is doing. Homeschooling and other awesome parents listen up!<br />
<br />
NASA has a program called <b><a href="https://faceinspace.nasa.gov/index.aspx">Face in Space</a></b> where you can send a photo of your kids...or you if you so desire into space on the next space shuttle launch. There are actually two missions left for this program. One space shuttle launches November 30, 2010 and the next February 27, 2011. <br />
<br />
So here's why it's so cool (although I know some of you homeschooling mommy's are already giddy with excitement and know exactly why it's so cool):<br />
<br />
First of all you get to pick a mission and decide which space shuttle launch you want to be a part of. Each mission has a different purpose. Next, you get to read and learn all about that mission! Then when it launches you can know that a picture of YOUR kid is going up with that space shuttle (how fun to pretend that you're actually in it!). I can imagine all of the super fun and majorly exciting things you can do with you children on the day it's launching including making a pretend ship out of a large cardboard box. And while you prepare for your mission you can include days full of books about space shuttles and astronauts and <a href="http://iheartfrutopia.blogspot.com/search/label/Space">CRAFTivities </a>galore! When you shuttle has landed you get to print out a certificate from the web sight which you should probably frame because I mean HELLO your kid was just up in space! <br />
<br />
Are you excited yet? Are you even still here?<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Check out my<b> <a href="http://iheartfrutopia.blogspot.com/search/label/Space">Space CRAFTivities</a></b> I'm sure you'll find a cool one to try along with this little program! </span></div><br />
Now get out of here and SIGN UP!<br />

Each participant also receives a free apron, goggles, a project themed patch, and a certification of merit upon completion of their project</i>."</div><br />
If you haven't heard of Lowe's Build and Grow or have just not taken the time to go yet, you really need to head down there ASAP! They currently offer clinics every other week and each week is a different craft with a different theme. While the clinics are geared towards ages 5 and up they certainly accept younger children as parents can easily put these projects together for their little while they assist in the tasks. Even as a parent doing most of the work your child still feels like they created the project since they have a hand in it and is so proud!<br />
<br />

Zorro is nearly 4 and we've been going since he was 3 1/2. I set up the project, read the directions to him while he helps me locate the correct parts. I usually start the nail then he finished hammering it in. At this point he is learning to understand the assembly process, follow directions, locate the correct parts, put the pieces together the right way and his hammering skills are awesome! Eventually he will be able to do the whole project on his own!<br />
<br />
As stated in the quote from Lowe's, they are given an apron that they can take home and patches once the project is complete that you can sew on the apron. I think this is such a wonderful program that Lowe's offers and it's FREE! 100%!!!<br />
<br />
In my area you have to sign up for the clinics FAST because they are so popular! So head over to the <a href="http://www.lowesbuildandgrow.com/">Lowes Build and Grow website</a> and sign up! You don't want to miss out on these fabulous events with your kids! <br />

I would tear them up and even still I had a long list of books. After I had Zorro it seems my reading hours dropped drastically. Then I started blogging and it dropped to the point that I rarely read anything accept my massive list of blogs. <br />
<br />
A few months ago the reading bug bit me again and I am thoroughly addicted to my favorite pastime. And such a good one too. For my birthday (in August) I was given a bunch of Border's gift cards and I was in HEAVEN! I have used up almost all of them now<br />
<br />
I've said it before but my fave genre on books would be "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chick_lit">Chick Lit</a>." You know those pink covered books with high heals on them, lipstick or other such nonsense. What I love about them is that they are simple brainless reads but somewhat like real life but usually more grandiose and nearly always have a happy ending. Kinda like a romantic comedy. <br />
<br />
My favorite Authors are <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/9212.Jennifer_Weiner">Jennifer Weiner</a> and <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/12915.Jane_Green">Jane Green</a>. Jennifer Weiner is absolutely amazing and with each and every book she writes her writing style changes and you can see how much she is growing as an author. Her stories are written almost to reflect the progression of life and books also have a little bit more substance than most "chick lit" books. Oddly enough Jane Green and Jennifer Weiner tend to write similar books at the same time altough they are quite different. Still Jennifer Weiner is my TOP fave author.<br />
<br />
Enough of that though. I think I will start writing reviews on the books I read. I really should. I'd also love to hear what you are reading! I can always use a great book suggestion. :)Fresh Squeezed Orange Juicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11495190457884873075noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300076094657237560.post-38723885081825282042010-10-27T16:24:00.000-07:002010-11-07T19:06:04.670-08:00Taco Tuesday!

Even better, I used lean ground turkey instead of beef and no one had a clue! </span><span style="font-size: small;">The meal was quick and easy to prepare, fun and everyone loved it that I can guarantee that I will be adding it on the menu at least once a month if not more often. </span></div><div style="font-family: Times, "Times New Roman", serif;"><br />

<br />
When I bought my couch set it came with this awesome and HUGE ottoman that I loved because it was safe because it's squishy and there are no hard corners. It's also steardy enough that you can place a tray on it and use it as a coffee table as needed. Brilliant, I thought. Then a short time later I realized I missed one huge and important thing...THERE'S NO STORAGE! Bummer for me.<br />
<br />
I often love looking at different storage options and <span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.allcoffeetables.com/" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">console tables</span></a></span></span></span> even dream about replacing my current ottoman with a fabulous storage piece. <br />
<br />
I was taking a look today and I fell in love <a href="http://www.allcoffeetables.com/Skyline-Furniture-8602STGRBCHRY-SKY1987.html">this piece</a>:<br />

I like how you can flip the top over to make it either a coffee table or squishy bench/foot rest and of course storage! I think I would get this next time with these <a href="http://www.allcoffeetables.com/Loft-Concept-218814-PD1336.html">console tables</a>:<br />

<br />
So, you can imagine my surprise when I woke up and I look like this:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixGrG2T2ujHaP3islQT3Mvv9Y8WTogL8wYEyB4D5EAGy0CFpYe0-euzNodGve3dZ4_rMm-JIY5zNt-kY8ddIT7V4qJx5An7F02JVBXJ1uoQXKF7YyhpyLrLa1ppJGFNC1cJJ-wQbedRRU/s1600/CIMG0123.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixGrG2T2ujHaP3islQT3Mvv9Y8WTogL8wYEyB4D5EAGy0CFpYe0-euzNodGve3dZ4_rMm-JIY5zNt-kY8ddIT7V4qJx5An7F02JVBXJ1uoQXKF7YyhpyLrLa1ppJGFNC1cJJ-wQbedRRU/s200/CIMG0123.jpg" width="149" /></a></div><br />
I was not too happy. And actually this wasn't even the worst of it, I was so miserable I didn't even think about a photo. But my eyes were practically swollen shut and my face and lips were a great deal larger. This along with my hands being psycho swollen not to mention itching and burning like a muther. <br />
<br />
All I have to say is thank goodness forjust happening to be staying with a Doctor or rather a doctor's wife who in actuality, as we all secretly know are pretty much doctors too- at least if they have gone through med school with said Doctor. <br />
<br />

</div>Let's just say whatever it was was that did that to me, I do not want to be a part of <em>that</em> again! After racking my brain forever, I realized it was not something I ate especially since it was located only on my hands and face. I'm thinking it was the liver of sulfer chemical for jewelry that I spilled and cleaned up with my bare hands because I am BRILLIANT! There's a reason they tell you not to touch it. Now I know.Fresh Squeezed Orange Juicehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11495190457884873075noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300076094657237560.post-88414047160779266682010-10-01T00:00:00.000-07:002010-10-01T00:00:02.135-07:00CRAFTivities! Slime'Tis the season to celebrate scary and gross right?<br />
<br />
I thought a great way to kick off Halloween month might be to get a little <i>SLIMY</i>! <br />
<br />
Here's a fabulous and increadibly simple recipe for slime ala Martha Stewart:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/5101_5200//5114_031610_slime_l.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://images.marthastewart.com/images/content/tv/martha_stewart_show/show_photos/5101_5200//5114_031610_slime_l.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />

The new line upHave I totally regressed? I can't believe it. My ever "mature" Grey's Anatomy has been replaced. I'm so over it. Once George and Izzy left along with the general feel of the hospital with the new group of peeps etc.... I just kinda went blah. I have been a hard core Grey's fan for-ever. Sad.<br />
<br />
But ya know what's really really sad? I'm totally into teenybopper shows. Did I just say "teenybopper?"<br />
I have fully regressed from "life in your 30's" to "life in college" heck high school too. Maybe it's because I'm pushing the big 3-0! <br />
<br />
So here's what you'll find on my DVR <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://laurenmessiah.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/gossip-girl-gossip-girl-1694739-1024-768.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://laurenmessiah.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/gossip-girl-gossip-girl-1694739-1024-768.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />
I am so addicted to....{OMG}I can't believe I am saying this... Gossip Girl. Last season I happened to catch an episode and it was all downhill from there. I have now caught up and seen them all. I LOVE IT!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.watch-glee.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/glee_logo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.watch-glee.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/glee_logo.jpg" /></a></div><br />
No surprise here but it's back to high school I go with GLEE. LOVE. Just love. <br />

</a></div>My newest add on as in starting this season, a friend turned me on to Big Bang Theory. SOOOOOO funny except the annoying sitcom "fake laughs" they throw in when something is funny as if I needed a reminder to laugh. lame. <br />
<br />

This little boy melts my heart. His latest thing to say is, "I love you more than me." When I heard that the first time I almost started crying. I told him that's what real love is. When you someone more than yourself. <br />
<br />
Where he got that from? I don't know. But it is just so sweet. It melts my heart every.single.time.<br />
