Well, I must truly apologize for not posting very often. I’ve let almost a whole month slip by without posting anything. So here’s my month in review:
Wohoo!!! The Steelers won the Super Bowl!!!!
There were so many sub-plots to this game, and all of the contreversy surrounding the officiating. I’m a homer through and through, but some of those calls were a little weak. I’m just glad we came out on top since it was one of the worst games we had played all year.
I picked Mom and Dad up from the airport on the 8th( or was it the 7th?). It was good to see them. I’m also glad that Dad decided to leave early and go home the same time Mom was coming back. Especially with the mudslide tragedy that is currently being reported on the news.
Valentine’s Day came and went. Amy and I didn’t really do a whole lot, but February is a very busy month in our household and can be very expensive for a month to be so short. She did, however send me off with a very nice card. Me, being the big loser I am, gave her a Happy Valentine’s Day wish….
The 17th was Brian’s 7th birthday. He seemed very excited to be a year older! We actually had 2 parties for him. On Friday, we all went to McDonald’s and met Nanny and Papa. We all gathered around and ate fast food and some cake, and then the boys went outside to the playground to run off all of the sugar they just ingested. All in all, it was a fun day.
Then on Saturday, we had an all-day celebration starting with me taking Will and Brian to Mike’s Place for some lunchtime pizza. The proprieters of Mike’s Place are members of our church, and when Nicole found out that we were celebrating Brian’s irthday, they made him his own dessert pizza with candles and frosting! What a great gesture! Afterwards, we packed everyone up to go to Broadway at the Beach to meet Mom, Dad, and Tita Angie and catch the new Curious George movie. We arrived early and Justin and I took the boys to their favorite 2 stores, The Discovery Channel Store, and the Christmas and Trains Shoppe. Later, we met up with the rest of the Palomares clan to watch the movie. Everyone loved it! William didn’t take a potty break througout the whole movie! I was really glad to see that the boys enjoyed the movie as much as they did. Curious George is one of my favorite childhood characters and the film did a great job of intertwining a number of HA Rey’s books in to a single movie. Afterwards, we all went to Chik-Fil-A for some chikin and some playtime, and lastly, we took everyone across the street to Toys R Us. Brian got Madagascar for the xbox(fun game for kids), and Mom, Dad and Tita Angie gave hime a couple of kites and a junior set of golf clubs! The kid really racked up!
Of course, yesterday was my birthday… no real big pomp or fanfare. I got a few well wishes from work, and we had a quiet celebration at my parents’ house. I mean, what is a filipino birthday celebration without some torta or pancit?!? Anyway, we had fun, but left before 8 so the kids wouldn’t miss their bedtime. My B-day booty included a couple shirts and a nice pair of slacks. Aahh… life is good…

Happy Birthday…To you and Brian. Had we not been slackers here in TN, we would have done more… like given the old man a call or at least an eCard!
Superbowl was okay. I loved the trick play to Ward… that was the highlight of the whole game. Now it’s a waiting game for Favre, I guess.
And you are LIAR!!! There is NO WAY that Brian could be SEVEN… no freakin’ way… I mean, we JUST had celebrated his 2nd birthday, errrrrrrrrrrrr, 5 years old. Um, never mind.
