Jaron's 2!

Well, he actually turned 2 last week, but today he had his 2 years old doctor's appointment. It went as well as can be expected for a 2 year old who does not like being confined. His stats were 31.2 lbs and 35.5 inches. Yup, he's almost 3 feet tall! He's in the 80th percentile for weight and 75 percent on height. I did the "find out how tall you're child will be" thing on BabyCenter.com. It says he will be approximately 6 ft tall at 18 yrs. We shall see in 16 years. He is talking as well as any toddler. He has somewhere over 70 words and has put 2 word sentences together like, "sit down," and "let's go!" He loves being outside and right now he likes watching Pixar's Cars, Finding Nemo and Wall-E. Cars is his number 1 movie, he watches it almost every morning when he wakes up. When he grows up, he says he wants to be a Doctor...just kidding...a mother can dream can't she. He's favorite item is my hair, and has been since he could grab it. The Paci and Teddy are fine, but in the end he must play with my hair. He now has to play with my hair before he goes to sleep. Sometimes I wish he would stop, but I know that when he does, I'll miss him doing it. I have not uploaded the pictures from his party, but when I do I'll get them posted. Here's a picture we took a couple weeks ago of him eating his kid sized hamburger at BurgerHut.

He's so cute! We love this kid!

Obama a Sith Lord?

I liked this and the author gave me permission to copy it into my blog. I have not edited it in any way:



Okay, so I'm kind of homebound today and so I am watching the Star Wars movies. Anyway, I realized that Life might be imitating Art imitating Life. Here's the reasons I believe that Obama may be a Sith Lord.
5. He has an apprentice... her name is Lord Clinton
4. He knows and understands the principle of balance. (and consistantly fights to unbalance the force.)
3. He doesn't have a problem with stepping on the people who got him where he is.
2. He has a plan that no one knows and his plan was not truely made known to the people until after his comming into power.
1. His entire goal is control and power over others. He has no problem with taking away agency from those he has power over... infact the less power others have... the better.
"So this is how Democracy dies... with thunderous applause."- Senator Amadala.

I guess we're waiting for our Luke Skywalker to defeate the evil menace!

Lately, I've been ruminating on this very question. With the state of the economy and Obama making it worse, tonight's "Earth Hour" when everyone was supposed to turn their lights off for an hour to conserve energy, or reduce carbon emissions, or some such nonsense (btw, I didn't), Obama's total disregard for human life ("Freedom of Choice Act" repealing the Mexico City Policy, pork barrel spending to Planned Parenthood, trying to make veterans pay medical bills for injuries received while serving the country, and the list goes on), attempts to take away our second amendment rights, current discussions on a worldwide currency (see: the poached frog)(by the way, the guy who recommends a worldwide currency is from Communist China, and Tax-Cheat Geitner (the incompetent) thinks its a good idea), and a plethora of other topics, it feels like the bullet train headed there is accelerating. I feel like throwing my hands up and shouting "Jane! Get me off this crazy thing!"

are you serious?!

they are trying to ban black cars in the state of california because black causes you to use your a/c more. really?! are there studies to back that up, or is this just more of their hippy liberal, tree hugging propaganda? I think you can guess which I think it is.

on a side note: linux in mountain view was checking out my w.o.f. typo post again. are you sure its not the gov't? :)

another mobile blog

to my loyal readers, forgive me for not posting in a while. no, the gov't did not shut me down :), the wireless card in the laptop broke. sitting in class just now, I heard a student talking about the new presidential dollar coins she just received as change. she said that she thought they were fake. she also said that pres. martin van buren was on the coins and said "i didn't even know there was a president van buren." and since this is a spanish class ppl started talking about cesar chavez and the same student said "they say he (chavez) did more than any president." what kind of liberal hippy crap do they teach here?!

Lara's 4 Month Appointment Update and Pictures

Oop! I made an error with her weight. I fixed it. Kind of funny that I didn't catch that I put a weight that was less than when she was born =)
We had Lara's 4 month appointment on Tuesday. She is weighed 16 lbs 8 oz and was 27 1/4 inches. She is in the 99th percentile for height and 92nd percintile for weight. This is the first time she has been less than the 99th percentile for weight. If this is any indication that she is going to be tall, she has grown an average of over 1.25 inches a month. She is working on crawling already, we'll see when she finally accomplishes it. She is drooling and gnawing like crazy, but the doctor said she does not feel any teeth coming in. I'm really not in a hurry to deal with biting anyways. We find Lara is sensitive to over stimulation. We can go only one place a day and she is done. If we overdo it, she has a hard time settling and she will scream for an hour or two at night solid. She is trying to slow this fast paced mommy down =) I'm not sure how well she will do the next time we travel to Sacramento to visit. We'll find out in a couple of weeks.
We had Jaron's 2 years old pictures taken and we also had pictures of Lara and Jaron taken together. I've posted them below. Enjoy =)

Jaron was not into taking pictures

Still no smile...but still cute

This one makes us laugh every time

Lara loves to chew on the hems of her dresses

Jaron loves his sister!

He patted her back all on his own. It was soooo cute!

Lara's on her hands and knees already

New Virus

I just wanted to drop a quick note of something that's been trying to attack our computer so y'all can avoid it. I think its gotta be a virus, but I don't know what its called or what it would do if it successfully infected. Listen to the chain of events and I think you'll agree that its suspicious. The last couple nights while Corrina has been working on the computer, a window would pop up saying that our computer may have been infected and that "Antivirus 360" (or some other program) would do a thorough and free scan to fix it if we hit continue. RED FLAG: we already have NORTON 360 installed on our computer, so any scan is free and it never calls itself Antivirus 360. Corrina was smart and clicked cancel, then its starts popping up all these othewindows warning you that if you hit cancel your computer will be infected and crash, etc. The browser window then makes it look like it is scanning your hardrive and identifying multiple trojans, etc. and asks you to run an application to install it and fix the viruses. Corrina was smart and immediatley closed all windows, without installing anything, and ran our own antivirus software and, sure enough, no trojans, just a couple low threat tracking cookies. Last night it happened while we were investigating (cautiously) a suspicious website, so I wasn't surprised. But the crazy thing is, the night before it happened while Corrina was facebooking. Once again, fortunately Corrina realized it was suspicious and immediately ran our own antivirus. I just wanted y'all to be informed so you don't get tricked either.

P.S. does anyone know of any government installations in Mountain View California? :-) I was looking at the Feedjit gadget that tracks hits to my blog and approximately 2 days ago someone from Mountain View running a Linux OS visited my Wheel of Fortune Typo post several times and now I'm paranoid the government is keeping an eye on me and that I'll be labeled an enemy of the state because of my posts about Obama. :-) I'm just kidding, but it is kinda strange to see someone running Linux. :-)
