Waldo randomly wrote on our shopping list the other day “Lily: cute factor 10 to the 10th power”. I thought that was really cute.
I felt like there was a serous lack of Lily pictures lately.

Memorial Day weekend
I was waiting to post about Memorial Day because my friend was suppose to be uploading more pictures. Oh well I’ll just post those some other time. I need to get this out of my head before I forget about it.
On Sunday we had lots of help cleaning our old house. I was in charge of Lily (like usual) so I was very little help. Waldo and our friends did a great job, if it weren’t for the spiders and the smallness of the place I would have reconsidered moving.
After cleaning was all done we went to another friends house and had a little bar-b-q. Let me just say that its so nice having chefs for friends. We had amazing spicy chicken and steak sandwiches. And of course all the sides.
But really its about the pictures. So without further ado…
This is my friend *Jack (I forgot to ask if I could use real names so I’m using nicknames, I did remember to ask if it was ok to post the pictures, Yay me). I took what I think is a much better picture but he made me swear to use this one.
Jack is a chef at one of the local famous restaurants. He made mean steak sandwiches (I hear, I don’t eat steak).
This is Big Mac. He is a chef at the golf course restaurant.
He made the amazing chicken.
This is my man (Waldo). He cooks for us but for a living he is a geek.
This is B and R. B works with Jack and R is Jack’s girlfriend.
Here’s Jack’s dog Apollo
Chicken. Yum!

Aloha Friday 5-29-09
In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So Kailani thought that on Fridays she would take it easy on posting, too. I like the idea, therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response.
What is your go-to easy quick dinner?
Ours is a salad and soup (canned) but I’m always looking for better and more healthy ideas.
Girl Talk Thursday-Make up
Mommy Melee started Girl Talk Thursday. Go show her some love and check out Mr. Linky. This week we are talking about lingerie.
This week we are talking about our make up regimen.
Before I had Lily I had a very simple routine and I did it everyday. I had used Bare Minerals for about two years and I loved the lightness of it. I used the base foundation kind of thing, the Mineral Veil finishing powder, light blush, eye shadow, liner and mascara. It sounds like a lot but it only took about 7 minutes or less.
Since Lily was born I think I’ve worn make up twice. I just don’t have time to deal with it.
My Manly man part 2
After the grass was mowed we needed to eat so what do we decided to do? Break out the brand spanking new bar-b-q grill. We hadn’t even taken it out of the box yet, so Waldo spent like 20 minutes putting the thing together.
Who knew the thing has so many parts?
(Sorry for the blurry photos, its hard to stand still and take a good picture when you have a wiggly infant in your arms)
All done. Its a thing of beauty, or something like that.
We used lump charcoal which I didn’t get a picture of and a charcoal chimney. Which were both my suggestion, Waldo was against them at first. I mean what’s more manly then briquettes and lighter fluid? Nothing that’s what! But I won because I had Alton Brown on my side. We even watched the grilling episode of Good Eats before we started.
Waldo was very impressed with the chimney. It heats up the charcoal in like 15-20 minutes and its ready to go. Of course I was in the house nursing Lily so I didn’t get a picture of the hot coals in the chimney.
These burgers were great, they were seasoned with salt, pepper and little garlic flakes.
Our side dish
Cut grass, yummy food and hanging out as a family. It was a great family day.
