What do I want?

So my husband, asked me what I wanted for my birthday coming up in Dec. He asked me to make a list then he would surprise me from off the list. So I went to the computer, ready to make a bookmarked folder of "Things I want" and i was stumped.

I can't think of ANYTHING. Seriously, I kept thinking of things we NEED for the house, Yo'sea, or the new baby. I couldn't think of something for me. This has NEVER EVER happened to me before. It's weird. So i started thinking of things I USE to want. Like electronics, yea I wouldn't mind a cool new camera, or computer but we have a functioning camera and computer so what is the use of getting new ones? I thought of clothes, but i'm pregnant, I am honestly just waiting to have our other child, then I will focus on my own body. I thought of hair color or cool hair cut, but again I'm pregnant, and I just cut off all my hair (hormones? its hot here? Who knows why.) Software? I woudl love the Adobe Photoshop & Premiere Elements 8 but that is $160.00 not really in out Birthday present budget. I was even trying to think of my hobbies. My hobbies, have narrowed down to making stuff Yo'sea. Which isn't a bad thing, and i enjoy it.

Anyway, I don't entirely think it is awful, that I can't figure out something I do want for my birthday. But the Feminist in me is say, "YOU HAVE LOST YOURSELF!!" she is throwing up red flags, saying I am so absorbed in my family, that I have disconnect with myself to the point that I can't even think of a good birthday present for myself. While the maternal side of me is saying, You know we are happy, we have most everything we want. It isn't awful that I am thinking of my family, they are the focus of my life right now, and that isn't bad.

So, I am pretty sure there are things I want, I have just stopped thinking about them for so long, that I am now stumpped. My question to you all is WHAT DO YOU WANT? Maybe if I see what you want, It will jump start my brain into things I may want. THen when Joseph asks the same thing at Christmas, I won't be stumpped yet again!

Go head tell me, what do you want?!

Drunk on Candy

Our Halloween was a busy day, we first drove out to Peach Springs, to have a Halloween Picnic with the Hualapai church branch out there. Then back here at home we went to the Church TRUNK or TREAT. There were soo many kids, all of them dressed up. Yo'sea had so much fun
just watching all the kids, run around in there costumes. At the church, they had tons of games, food, and even a Haunted house. Afterwards they had all the kids go outside for a big Trunk or Treat, Joseph took Yo'sea around with her Pumpkin Pail to get some candy, then the rest of the time he scared the kids, that came by our car for candy. We had tons of fun.
This Holiday, is totally a kids dream come true. In the words of Jerry Sienfield, "what? EVERYONE we know is gong to be giving out candy!?!" I think it was a little to much for Yo'sea, I slowly watched her become Delirious with candy, She even cried when I took her Pumpkin pail away. I may have to take her to Candy Anonymous after this. Or do my parental duty and hide all the candy from her, so I can eat it myself. HA!

Yo'sea's Drunkeness, pictures say a thousand words.

Hello, Everyone
Joseph and I FINALLY have a Sealing Date, we are VERY excited. We feel like we have been waiting a long time for this. We are getting Sealed in the Las Vegas Temple, on Oct 17th, 2009 at 4pm. We thought it was fitting to send out this Digital Invitation, on Joseph's YEAR date of being a Member of the Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have enjoyed the blessing of the Gospel for most of my life, and I have truly enjoyed watching my husband grow in the Gospel. Once Yo'sea showed up we couldn't help but want to be an Eternal Family. What a blessing the Gospel of Jesus Christ is in our lives.

We would love to see all of you on our special day. Since it is a day dedicated to Forever Families what better way to celebrate then to be surrounded by family and friends. Also, if you are available, Joseph is getting his Endowments on Friday Oct. 16th at 1pm. Please, let us know if you will be able to attend, the Temple would like an approximate number on those will be in attendance. Again, we are eagerly looking forward to this day and it would be great to have family and Loved ones to celebrate this special day in our lives!

Much Love,
Romo Family

Pinewood Derby Isn't just for kids

This month at church we had an AWESOME activity.

We had an ADULT Pinewood Derby. A month before the activity they handed us our kits, told us to use our imagination, and go for it.

Joseph and I were busy all month, so as time ticked away, our AWESOME idea's had to become less awesome. There just wasnt' enough time to make what we wanted. Before you know it, it was a the night before and we had our dremel out, paints and things. Joseph, ended up breaking his wood, ha ha ha!

I started with the idea of making an AWESOME lowrider El Camino, but I ended up with a REZ TRUCK. ha ha! Hey, I did my best. When we got there, my Rez Truck was too light to go down the tracks, so we had to improvise (Thus the Salt shaker). The salt shaker helped but, after each of my races you they had to sweep the track. Every one was a good sport about it.

We had such a fun night. I loved seeing how creative everyone was. The coolest cars, were the BATMOBILE looking car, and the car's that had were Remote controlled with larger engines. They blue us all out of the water when it came to speed.

The activity was a hit, I would love to do it again next year!

Love her.

Love her, Love her Lover her.

This lil'one makes eating breakfast,
seem awesomely adorable.
I have honestly have the best
time hanging out with this kid. Being a
a mom is pretty fun. :)

D.I.Y.- Hair Clip Organizer

I have been making hair clip's for Yo'sea. Which I am proud of, but I have no place to store them. I have tried a drawer, but they get all thrown together and it is hard to find the clip I want, when I want it. I saw this frame idea online, and I decided to make it.

Here are a few pics, of the process.

Step One- Find an Old Frame,
cut some material to fit, and then
Mod Podge, the fabric to the frame.

Step Two - Turn the frame over,
Mod Podge, the fabric to the back too.

Step Three- Let the Fabric
dry, on the Frame


Step Four - Add fabric, to the
Cardboard backing of the Frame.


Step Five - Position the Ribbon.


Step Six - Turn the cardboard
over, and glue, the ribbon down.


Step Seven - Finished Product.

Just hang it up, and add some clips!

This is Yo'sea at three months.
Just her and Mahonri chillin on the blanket. They would actually stay put if we put them there. But now Yo'sea is all over the place. She still has that awesome smile, and she laughs alot more.
What a joy children are.

Man,where has the time gone? Seriously!
