Happy Birthday Greggy!

Greg made it to seventeen yesterday! Hurrah! In a quick short little sentence I'll add him all up for you:)
Greggy's a charming man who likes to make a fool of himself most of the time by saying and doing silly, loud, annoying things; but he's great to hang with and definitely has a big, big heart underneath that largeness:)!! tadan!!
Happy birthday Greg! xxx I hope your birthday was a chilled one with lots of laughter and fun! I dunno if you can earn the title of Godfather...but just maybe...if there's NO ONE on this earth who can make my son laugh and feel loved more than you can;)
LOVE YOU BRO!!

and to end this one-day-late-birthday post, I'm gunna post some photos from my NEW cam from Greg's b-day! I was planning on posting other photos of the last week or so, but that'll come after this one!
after one hectic day of basically standing in the kitchen, the evening ended with a real nice relaxing outside food party. there were tortillas, chips, BEER, CHU-HI, Lixy's goodies, and much much more! and even though Dandan and Megu ended up coming one hundred years later, it was good to have em!
so all in all, I think it went pretty well!! ooh, and the boys had a fun time playing with the new little toy both me and Joe bought for Greg. I think you'll get the whole idea of it by seeing the photos;)

the whole crew is back now, making the house back to one big, loud...house? ehe. it's nice to have them home though, of course, since it's been a while that they've been gone:)

my parents gave me a cute story of my five year old sister, Annie, who was in the bathroom with constipations, and with a worried/curious look asked my mom, "Mommy, how is Cha going to get her baby out?"
I had a good laugh.
but then thought, how true. I am in the same situation as her, since I myself have never been there nor experienced it. I too don't know how hard or tiring it will really be. So that's a real good question! hahaha, pray for me!! it is only just around the corner! eek!

so recently..it was just me and Joe alone in the house for two days since Greg took off with mika to somewhere..haha. no they went to visit Noda, so me and Joe had the WHOLE house and EVERYTHING in it to ourselves! *cheesy grin* nyaaha, it was quiet and no we didn't do evil things, we actually just made use of our time to get everything together for the baby:) i'm actually liking his little set-up! hee hee.
anyhow, I would post photos but haven't the card reader yet...and i'm too interested in my new camera to go back to my old little one when it comes to taking photos...so...summer photos of the recent will have to wait a bit! BUT i did find these photos, which are a bit old, but I thought were kinda funny... seems as tho the whole world could be crashing down behind him but as long as he's busy watching something interesting he won't notice a thing. of course not to mention with a mouth busy with munching on ice-cream...every thing's good:) bahaha...

















he's so cute...how I love my husband. TEE HEE!!

it's real quiet around the house now, since my parents & Elena & down are in kyushu for two weeks. Mika and Ivan are here for a week or so, so it keeps me company..somewhat!...i've been finding myself basically sleeping all day! just too tired and hot to do anything in this weather! please pray for me, I'll really need it to keep up with the rest of this month! ehe!
but I can't complain! it's a nice relaxing summer, and I actually am finding myself enjoying the sounds of the billions of semis in our trees! me and joe usually despise those things, but this year they're kinda friends...:)
last night Greg held a little BBQ in "celebration" of our legal marriage. haha, such a sweetie pie! bought some shrimp, chips, beef, made hamburgers and hot dogs--of course not forgetting the best part of a chillen summer bbq--BEER and Chu-hi!..and fruit juice for me! grin! it was a fun relaxing afternoon with weird toasts from weird-but cool people! so all in all, other then this humid weather, summer of 2008 is pretty sweet:)
..and that's all I have to say for now...just a little update on what's been going on here! cheers!!

Shiner Prize!

my parents & Joe were so sweet in giving me money to buy myself a new camera! sort of a congratulation and "award" for finishing up school & grabbing that GED diploma:)
it's a Sony A300, with a tamron 18-200 lens...the perfect little camera that makes me very happy! now I can do billions of photo shoots of my son when he comes along! yay! Thank You Jesus! it's a very happy day!
