My Favorite Thing Right Now

This is what I love right now. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. It's an oil burner from Bath and Body Works. Works better than candles in my opinion. With one burner you can scent the whole house. I love the PUMPKIN frangrance the best and I already used up sensual amber in 2 days. It does go fast if you dont watch it. But Im also in a new house and Im trying to get a good smell going on in here. Just to let you know the fragrances are on sale right now for $4 dollars. Good deal, I need to go get some more.

My Lil Composer

Rami loves this song by coldplay and the kids love to dance and move to this song. Here is Blake in the car conducting the music. We love to groove in the car with the music playing.

The Lip

This is the look Blake gives you when you have hurt his feelings. In otherwords he was being naughty and got in trouble. He gives you the lip and then his eyes well up with these big crocodile tears. It melts my heart and I end up swooping him up and kissing him.

Look how far this sucker hangs out.

What We Did In Sept

We moved into our home and we made our first brownies.

Sydney loves her room. And is reading a story to Blake.


Rami had a Birthday, so we spent the day as a family going to Bonnie Springs, eating out at a buffet( rami's fav) and watched a movie at home.

Bonnie Springs was fun. There were llamas, goats , ducks, donkeys, and chickens just roaming the place. W e got to walk right up to them and feed and pet them.
And we saw this cool pond that had tons of turtles swimming around with the ducks.

What We Did In Aug

Blake had his 2nd birthday and we celebrated it at home with Melissa and Marlies. I made him a cupcake cake just like I did for Sydney's second birthday. And he got lots of toys.






We went out to Cottonwood Cove with some friends from Rami's work at B of A. And they all played in the lake. The kids loved playing in the sand the most. Rami took Blake out into the water in the boat but got stuck because he couldnt row himself back in with his wrists that have been hurting him (tendonitis or carpal tunnel who knows).

A Day in the Life of the Fakhouri's

This past WEEKEND Rami, Richard, and Robert were fixing holes in the walls and preping the house for the primer. It was alot of work. It took them 2 whole days to fix all the holes the crazy woman made who lived in the house before.

My sister Chelsey had a birthday SUNDAY. Sorry I wasnt able to be there. I love ya anyways, hope you had a good birthday.

Then Rami primed the house on MONDAY and came home looking like the abombable snowman. Even his eyelashes were coated. It was funny, we kept wanting to pick the paint off his leg hairs and then hearing him scream at us afterward.

It was also Melissa's birthday MONDAY. Happy birthday, hope you had fun. We love ya.

Blake is coming out of his shell more and more. We are making him say a word when he wants something. Like a toy car, he has to say car before we give it to him. And he has been repeating the words everytime. He still loves to say NO and wave his finger at you.

TUESDAY Rami is back at work. Blake peed in the potty today. We have left it sitting on the floor for awhile to see if he had any interest. And today out of the blue he sat down and peed.
Sydney will be going to swim lessons tonight. Last week she even went down the big slide.

Tomorrow is a busy day. Rami will do the last of the primering, Syd has Kidde Kollege and Blake has a doctors appointment. So WEDNESDAY will be a day of driving around for me.

FRIDAY The carpet is going in the new house

and SATURDAY we are moving in. YEAAAAAAAAA.
