What's the big deal?

This is a picture I took from my phone while I was at the mall with Jonah. I could not believe my eyes. This is worse than Disneyland! If you look really closely you can see that the line of people extends from the left side of the picture and makes a "u" over to the right side. That wasn't even the full line. What is going on? Then I realized that today was the day that the new iphone came out. They started at the apple store and that is the line! Come on people!! I don't understand why people can't wait for a few more days or even a month to buy it. I've always favored pc over mac anyway, but am I missing something? Does the phone come with a genie that grants you wishes or something? If I'm going to stand in line for a phone it better come with a maid, nanny, and a trip to Europe! Didn't the first iphone come out not too long ago too? Really if someone could explain to me why apple has such an effect on people I would like to know. I'm truly baffled.

What? A coyote in our front yard?

This is a picture of our front yard at 4:00 am that was taken by our neighbor on her way to work. Yep. That's a coyote! It looks like it's eating something. Braden and I went outside to the front yard as soon as we saw this picture to see what the coyote was munching on. All that was left was a few tufts of hair and a small bone. We thought it looked like cat hair. We were just glad that our cute little Bandit stays in the house! Well a week later there was a posting for a missing cat hung right outside our house on the lamp post. It said that the cat was missing the day before we got the picture of the coyote. We gather all the evidence and put it in a plastic bag like they do on CSI--we've seen a couple episodes. We examine the hair and then compare it to the picture of the lost cat. The hair looks like it came from a tabby cat and the picture was a tabby cat! So sad! Now we have to make the dreaded phone call to the owners of the lost cat. Braden called and let them know the story and invited them to come look at the evidence to come to their own conclusion. Poor little Leo! He was only a year old and mostly an indoor cat. He was just going outside because they didn't have him neutered yet.

We have the cutest video of Jonah walking that Braden did, but I'm waiting for him to upload it to his computer. In the meantime here is another on that shows him walking the first week he knew how. He's been walking for two weeks now!! He's a pro!

Cute Cats

I was talking with a bunch of girl friends about how we love cats and especially how cute mine is.

I thought I'd break up the monotony of only posting things about Jonah. Here is the cutest picture of our cat Bandit. He's a persian, so his hair gets really long and he sheds a lot. We shave him about twice a year, but he gets cold when we do that. I decided to buy him a sweater, and I think he looks so cute in it. He kind of looks like a monkey. Most people don't even know he's a cat. I took him for a walk once when he had all his fur. We accidentally walked into a swim class at the swimming pool in Burbank and the old ladies in the pool couldn't help but ask, "What's that?" We love Bandit!

Jonah and his Maracas

After all these years, I finally got to meet my pretend boyfriend. What a nice guy too! I'm not sure Jonah was as excited.

Ok. Now I need to keep this thing updated. I don't know how well I'm going to do. This Saturday is Jonah's 1st birthday. We were just going to have a little party, but it's turning into quite the celebration. I just hope he can handle all the people and kids. He just started walking, and we are the annoying parents that think our kid is the cutest thing ever and that he's the only one that's ever learned how to walk at 11 1/2 months.

This was the funniest thing. Jonah just got in a really giggly mood and was laughing at me when I made his book make noises.
