I love my boys.

James is the best baby ever. He is super cute...cutest boy not named Jason that I know.

Today we went and got him circumcised and had his first well baby check up. I was nervous about the circumcision. However, it went great! The doctor took him into a different room and gave him a little local something and some sugar water and then did the snip. When he left the room he was crying and when he came back from he was happy and hungry. Since leaving the doctor he has slept for three hours in his car seat and is currently for the FIRST TIME EVER sleeping in his crib. This is such a relief because it may mean he will start sleeping in it at night a little bit and both of us could actual get a little sleep at the same time.

Everyday he amazes me because just when I think he can't get any more cute or I can't love him any more he does and I do. I love his little faces that he makes and sometimes I can't sleep because I would rather just look at him.

Alright, enough babbling...here are some recent pictures: Best Friends alreadyNap time

Yay foam finger!

James Michael LaFavor

First here is the adorable little guy:



I wanted to make a list of things I am excited to do with my son in the future.

1. Buy him a fake razor bathtub toy so he can use bubbles from his bubble bath to pretend to shave like his dad.
2. Wrestle.
3. Play with toy trucks.
4. Watch baseball and football. Have Father-Son sports day.
5. Watch little league games. (Molly will totally be the Mom who gets really really mad at the umpires, but won't yell at them, just complain to the other Moms.)

I think have failed as a teacher

My sixth grade students were asked to do a research paper on economic and geographic factors that led to a group of peoples need to immigrate. Here is my favorite sentence from one of the papers:

"Most cans have immigrants to get away form fiddle casters communist regime in eBay as my as 78,000 arrived in me united states in 1962."


Sometimes spell check on the computer is a bad bad thing.

Jason and I will totally be parents in two weeks...hopefully. Three weeks at most!

Yipeeeee!

Mariners Opening Day Pictures♦

We went to Opening Day today and I took a ton of pictures using Molly's new camera, here are the highlights. These were all taken from the 300 level also. Click the pics for higher quality:

Griffey coming out on the red carpet, he got quite the intro standing ovation.

Rare time Mariners flag is in first place.

Griffey Swinging.

Guerrero fouling a pitch back

Guerrero diving back to the bag, Branyan had to jump up to catch the ball on the pickoff attempt.

Ichiro watched from the dugout.

Gutierrez dropping down a sacrifice bunt.

Silva pitched a great game giving up only 2 runs in 7 innings.

Here is Phil Carlo and I.

Lopez catching a key late game popup.

Aardsma pitched a good inning in relief of Silva.

Morrow came in and had some control issues (when does he not, really?) but shut down the Angels anyway.

Gutierrez led off the bottom of the 10th with a double, scored on a sacrifice bunt by Yuni that Shields threw away. Yay the M's are 6-2!

I need a nap.

I have a LOUD dehumidifier in my house... it is the size of two big suitcases and has to run all night. I have a mold spot growing at my window. I have a strip of wet ceiling. I have two VERY wet towels in my sink.

I am lucky though because we control the water for the two units above us and not just ours.


Last night a pipe in the unit above us broke (my guess is around four) around five I noticed a large amount of water flowing around my window and at six I noticed water dripping out of the ceiling.

Now construction workers are coming and going as the decide the best way to fix the problem. Luckily we don't have to pay for any of it and they are replacing our already broken faucet right away instead of when they get around to it because they feel bad.

Now if I could just get them to pay the electric bill next month which will go up from the 24 hours of dehumidifier.
