Thanksgiving 2007 video

It snowed in Lubbock for Thanksgiving. And personally I loved it. After all the heat we've had this summer, I welcomed it with open arms. Ava too!!!

Thanksgiving 2007

California Baby

Here are a few video's from our trip to San Diego....I have nothing but great things to say about our day at Sea World. I spent the entire day in awe of the relationship between the animal and their trainers. It's amazing to me the love and respect they have for each other. We arrived early so we got to watch a lot of the pre-show warm up and all. Truly a day well spent!! I think I may have enjoyed it more than Ava, and not once did we have to wait in any lines. That helps too!!!

Max's newest trick!!!!

7 Foods to Keep You Young

1: Olive oil

Four decades ago, researchers from the Seven Countries Study concluded that the monounsaturated fats in olive oil were largely responsible for the low rates of heart disease and cancer on the Greek island of Crete. Now we know that olive oil also contains polyphenols, powerful antioxidants that may help prevent age-related diseases.

2: Yogurt

In the 1970s, Soviet Georgia was rumored to have more centenarians per capita than any other country. Reports at the time claimed that the secret of their long lives was yogurt, a food ubiquitous in their diets. While the age-defying powers of yogurt never have been proved directly, yogurt is rich in calcium, which helps stave off osteoporosis and contains "good bacteria" that help maintain gut health and diminish the incidence of age-related intestinal illness.

3: Fish

Thirty years ago, researchers began to study why the native Inuits of Alaska were remarkably free of heart disease. The reason, scientists now think, is the extraordinary amount of fish they consume. Fish is an abundant source of omega-3 fats, which help prevent cholesterol buildup in arteries and protect against abnormal heart rhythms.

4: Chocolate

The Kuna people of the San Blas islands, off the coast of Panama, have a rate of heart disease that is nine times less than that of mainland Panamanians. The reason? The Kuna drink plenty of a beverage made with generous proportions of cocoa, which is unusually rich in flavanols that help preserve the healthy function of blood vessels. Maintaining youthful blood vessels lowers risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.

5: Nuts

Studies of Seventh-Day Adventists (a religious denomination that emphasizes healthy living and a vegetarian diet) show that those who eat nuts gain, on average, an extra two and a half years. Nuts are rich sources of unsaturated fats, so they offer benefits similar to those associated with olive oil. They’re also concentrated sources of vitamins, minerals and other phytochemicals, including antioxidants.

6: Wine

Drinking alcohol in moderation protects against heart disease, diabetes and age-related memory loss. Any kind of alcoholic beverage seems to provide such benefits, but red wine has been the focus of much of the research. Red wine contains resveratrol, a compound that likely contributes to its benefits—and, according to animal studies, may activate genes that slow cellular aging.

7: Blueberries

In a landmark study published in 1999, researchers at Tufts University’s Jean Mayer Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging fed rats blueberry extract for a period of time that in "rat lives" is equivalent to 10 human years. These rats outperformed rats fed regular chow on tests of balance and coordination when they reached old age. Compounds in blueberries (and other berries) mitigate inflammation and oxidative damage, which are associated with age-related deficits in memory and motor function.

Preview of our California Trip!!!

Ava has been dying to get to the beach, so we tagged along with Matthias for a weekend while he was out there for work. The water was BURR BURR cold and the weather was a bit chilly, but we made it work. Lucky me, some of my most favorite peeps live in San Diego and we got to spend some time with them. Have I mentioned I LOVE CALIFORNIA??? The same way I LOVE NEW YORK. If I could go back in time I would move there when I was 20 something...oh well maybe I'll go with Ava when she turns 20 and be her personal assistant....or maybe not, Ha! More pics coming soon!

Milestones....

Max is slowly becoming such a big boy. Some of his new tricks are pulling up, waving bye bye and mocking you if you cough. Which is really cute, he does the whole fake cough over and over.... He's just getting over a bad ear ache and croup, so we were home bound for a few weeks. But so far so good we're back out and about...

Ava also has something to brag about....She's completely diaper free....YIPEEEE! We had been wearing diapers to bed for a while now, but last week she woke up dry for 3 days in a row so we went with it. Now 3 nights with no accidents! Fingers crossed.

More Halloween!

Ayden and Julian are Jessica and Anthony's two babies.....Ava the fierce supergirl! All of this was before the big Hayride!
