Your Majesteve.

Hannah has been calling me, "Your Majesteve". (majesty)

It's often accompanied by a bow or curtsey.

I support this behavior. I like being queen.

What's Better Than Being On Local TV?

If you live in Utah, you may have seen this on Studio 5 news channel.

Yup, those are my husbands apps. #3 and #10 on their favorite list.

ABC Wildlife and ABC Go are two iPhone and iPad apps that my husband's company Peapod Labs created.

They worked hard. And it shows.

Those apps are awesome.

Good job Jared, Guillermo, and Jun.

People like your stuff.

The 20 Minute Gamble.

I often abandon my children for 20 minutes so I can shower.

I don't rush it too much, because I don't believe in rushing my shower time.

It's precious to me.

Whilst in the shower, I often hear screaming, moving chairs, crying, and the occasional thud of a body dropping to the floor. But so far no one has bled or died, so I continue this gamble of life.

Today I came out to this...

And this.

And this.

And more not pictured. And all the clumps I'm still pulling off her head.

Me: Hannah, WHY did you cut your hair?!

Hannah: Because I wanted to. I look pretty.

Me: You can't cut your hair! I will cut your hair! Someone else always has to cut your hair! I don't cut my hair. I have someone else cut my hair.

Hannah: Okay. I'll cut your hair Mommy.

Me: Um... No thanks. Your missing the point...

Hannah: Mommy! There's hair in my mouth!

Me: Good.

For the record, this is Hannah's 3rd time cutting her own hair.

We have a important meeting today with a preschool teacher to beg to get into the school.

It was important that she look good today.

Oh well. That's what bows are for.

Lots of bows.

A Little Deformed Kind of Fun.

I love technology.

It's Hannah and Jared's thing to play with Photo Booth.

Me and Asher just tagged along this time.

Peak Cuteness.

"Peak Cuteness" is the age of a child when they will no longer be getting cuter.

They are as cute as they can get.

Asher has reached peak cuteness.

He will no longer be getting cuter. It's just a scientific fact.

Let me explain...

Asher is just starting to talk and communicate.

It's the cutest thing any human has seen.

We've figured out that once a child's verbal skills are no longer considered cute but just normal life, that's when they are passing out of "peak cuteness".

Sure, as your child ages you will still describe them as cute. But it's almost a sure bet that they aren't as physically cute as they once were.

I mean c'mon. Is Asher going to be this cute when he's 9?

No.

He'll be handsome, or a little stud, or a sweet young boy.

And people may still call him cute.

But if you're being honest, a 9 year old will never be able to compete with his 2 year old self in a cuteness contest. He'll lose.

I guess what I trying to say is...

2 year olds are the cutest humans ever.

This was Hannah during her peak cuteness.

I rest my case.

Picture of The Month - January

Us slipping into a food coma.

Jared planned a whole day of surprises for our anniversary.

It was special and sentimental.

We ended the night having dinner at The Melting Pot.

It's on my Bucket List to have a fancy fondue dinner date with Jared there.

It was 4 course kind of fancy. And I'm proud to say we ate it all.

We didn't eat much the next day.

Jared, it was my favorite day in history.

Love you for another six.

*When we lived in Tempe, AZ there was a billboard for the Melting Pot with shrimp on a skewer that I had to drive by everyday. That's how The Melting Pot made it onto the list.

Billboards work apparently.
