What we love these days...

Our weather is mostly 70's and 80's now but we still have a few cold days and lots of rainy days! Mill loves her rain puddles, her quick little legs always make a B-line for the big muddy puddle that collects at the end of the driveway. We've had to change many outfits from the times we weren't on the ball enough to get to her before she got to the puddle... these cute rain boots have helped with that problem She loves to just wander around in her rain boots, always carying around a little doll, and loves to wear hats...

Below: Josh's birthday was last week and we splurged on this ice cream cake. I must admit, I felt the same way about it as millie did, it just really hit the spot. Mill would get SOO excited when we'd pull out the cake. Josh was cutting the cake and millie was on a chair next to the counter, and we look down and there she was, face in cake. Guess she just couldn't wait any longer!

Photo Tag

So my sis. Kelly tagged me for this Terrible post- Apparently whoever i tag is supposed to take pics of the below things exactly as they are...no cheating and cleaning up. (this is embarassing)

Self Portrait

I was obviously just doing this one to be dumb but wasn't really going to use it and then josh peeped around the corner (see him in the back ground?) and i thought that made it funny. can you do this with your lips? It really is a special talent i think.

***I Tag Melanie, Megan, Roseanne, Jami, and Both Jennas (Jenna R. and Jenna J.)

And now I'm an Asian...

I read on a friends blog about this site where you can find your celeb. Doppelganger (look alike). Hers worked out really well and it chose an accurate look alike. Several years ago (back when I used to shower, and do my hair and make-up) LOTS of people told me I looked like Kate Bosworth. So, I went to this sight http://celebrity.myheritage.com/FP/Company/try-face-recognition.php uploaded my photo and prepaired/hoped to be flattered... But no such luck, the results... I'm an Asian, Sammy Cheng.

I entered in a different photo but didn't realize I'd accidently checked the box saying that I was a male. So, my male look alike, Clarke Gable. Tell me it's not true!! sad : (

Spring Break

We kinda had to multi-task for Josh's spring break this year. He had to go to a Dr. apt. in Indianapolis (about the running injury he's been having) so we decided to make a little trip of it. Besides Millie taking 3 hours to go to sleep each night and waking up 3-5 times during the night we had alot of fun!

We stopped in Nashville on our way up to meet some friends at a DELICIOUS place called the Pancake Pantry. I got pecan pancakes with cinnamon syrup and josh got sweet potatoe pancakes with carmel syrup. Try it if you're in the area.

We love chocolate (naturally) so we looked up some places and heard about a store/factory called, "The Best Chocolate in Town" it was SO AMAZING! they had a cute little shop where you could watch the confectioners making truffels, and they had amazing flavors like: Asian spice, wasabi ginger, cinnamon basil, amaretto, malt ball, cheesecake, and even one with gouda cheese. I got the Cinnamon basil and had to savor every bite- strange combination but tasted just like christmas would taste if it were a flavor!

Next we hit a local toy store. A place I would have gone nuts over when I was a kid! all the nice toy brands like kathe kruse (german toy maker) and those bears that stephanie from full house had etc. (Kelly- you would have DIED.) oh to have a store like that near me... We had to pick up this amazing little guy for millie (made out of material like a ball, so he's bouncy and fun) I couldn't resist this kathe kruse tooth fairy doll. (I use to collect dolls when I was little, I think i'll take it up again!)



We had to hit the local spaghetti fac.- I have a goal of visiting ALL locations. (love their creamy pest, vinagrette, and spamoni!)
We also went shoping at H&M. Lucky me because Josh is always encouraging me to get what ever I want and to go shopping etc? (crazy huh?)

Indy has a GREAT childrens museam that just happened to be free the afternoon that we visited it. Millie of course didn't want to leave... neither did I for that matter. 4 LARGE levels of different exibits.

we couldn't get millie away from the dino exibit! must get that from Grandpa C.

Ceeling in the basement was filled with different blown glass containers- you could lay back on this revolving chair thing and gaze.

lod chong

Any one up for some Lod Chong? Looks Nasty huh? This was a dessert Josh loved on his mission in Thailand. He tried several times to make it but just couldn't get the noodles to solidify... poor guy. In the end, we just bought a mix to make them. Despite the fact that they look like worms (and have the texture of worms, ha ha) it was good!! Of course Millie loved it- anything "noodle" is fine by her. We just thought the picture was funny because it looks like we are feeding our child slugs!)
