Drum roll please...

Marisa's FIRST word is......

HI!!!!!


I LOVE IT! SOOO CUTE!! The cutest time she says it is when she wakes up from a nap and I walk into her room to get her. She just stands there, smiles at me, and says "Hi!"
AHH! SOO CUTE! Did I mention Marisa is the CUTEST?!

Marisa being cute, as always!

Happy New Year!

Well, another great year has come and gone and I am greatly looking forward to what 2008 has in store!

2007 ended with a great laugh for us. We sang High School Musical Karoke at Kari's house, played "Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader" (and Sara is not by the way...haha), and watched Marisa eat like this.

Marisa has never done this before.haha I think she was showing off for Uncle Matt who was feeding her.

Also, I have given myself some time to really think about my new year's resolutions and here is my list.

-Every night before going to bed, write down one thing that made me happy that day.
-Learn to be a healthy penny-pincher. (I love shopping and I love new things, but I really want to learn to be creative with money and budgeting without being stingy, a cheap-skate, a free-loader...you get the point.)
-Start on my Food Storage/Emergency Preparedness stuff.
-For one month, no JUICE! AHHH! (I really don't know why I want this as a goal. I think I just want to see if I can do it. And for those of you who don't know, I'm literally obsessed with juice. Gotta have it like a coke addict needs their caffeine.)
-And lastly, LIVE in the moment.

Happy Birthday hubby!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I just want to tell my amazing husband Tim that I hope he has a wonderful birthday. I love you, I love us, I love our marriage, I love our beautiful daughter and the little family we have created. I LOVE YOU!


P.S. I hope you liked your "Lakers"...=o)

Rome, Here I come!

You Belong in Rome

You're a big city soul with a small town heart Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better?

What City Do You Belong In?

The funny thing is...I've been telling Tim that he needs to take me there for as long as I can remember.

Go Lakers!

My Mom, Dad, and I decided to surprise Tim and get him really good tickets to a Laker game for Christmas and his birthday. Tim is no ordinary Laker fan. He is THE NUMBER ONE LAKER FAN! No exaggeration. So I was really excited about his gift and so was he.
We had a parking pass to park in one of the VIP garages, we had to enter the Staples Center through a separate VIP entrance and the entire area of the side we entered was for only VIP ticket holders, we had access to the Royal Room which was for VIP only, and we had in-seat service where we had a waitress bring us our Giant Pretzels and Sobe drink. Basically, we were VIP. haha
The Lakers were up by 20-30 points the entire game against the Jazz. The final score was 123-109. And the funny thing is, my family are HUGE Jazz fans. =o)

Peach Yogurt

Marisa had yogurt for the first time. Organic peach yogurt! It was absolutely hilarious. As you can see, she didn't really like it. She made this face after every single bite. She still opened her mouth for more though...barely. haha

Christmas at The Harts

We spent Christmas with Tim's parents and Sara. It is always fun for everyone to be at Grandpa and Grandma's house! It was extra special this year because Marisa had her first Christmas. She got lots of toys, clothes, and books!

So excited!

Marisa's first Webkinz!
