Here is the mug that I got from the Harry Potter Exhibit last night. They had several mugs there to choose from and of course this was the most expensive at $14.99. But I bought it anyway and thus far I LOVE it. It has a secret Marauder's Map on it but it doesn't show up until you put hot liquid into the cup! Sorry the pictures are proportional!

We just got home from the Harry Potter Exhibit at the Pacific Science Center in Seattle! It was a BLAST! Sadly, Warner Bros. prohibited any photography, so I was unable to capture even a single photo. But the Space Needle and Science Center sure were looking beautiful tonight! So I present them as my photo of the day:

I love how the fog looks among the evergreen trees. The pacific northwest is such an amazing place to live!

Crazy pic I know. It was late in the day and I hadn't taken a photo. I happened to see the horoscopes while I was at work and took a pic of this one, intending on texting it to my SIL since her birthday is January 21. I never did text it! But here it is anyway.

I saw this tree while we were out on a family walk. Something about it just sang to me.

My 9-year-old took it upon himself to clean off the dining room table (and you should have seen it before... utterly disgusting mess), scrub it clean, put down a clean tablecloth, and set it. He's such an awesome kid! (Like I said... he took it upon himself... didn't have to be asked or anything!)

I took my kids into downtown Tacoma with some friends today. We walked through the Washington State History Museum and then across the bridge towards the Museum of Glass. Part way across the bridge is a "ceiling" made of glass. When you look up, it's filled with Chihuly glass! I just had to capture a picture of this piece of beauty!!

The dog will ONLY sleep this comfortably in my husband's arms. He won't relax like this with anyone else. They definitely have a special bond.

It's my first baby's birthday today! This was the view I had when I pulled into the school parking lot. I was there to drop off 30 cupcakes and a huge bouquet of balloons. The cupcake box was soaked by the time I got it across the lot. Thankfully, the cupcakes themselves survived!

It's my son's birthday tomorrow and he has requested that I make and bring cupcakes to school for his class. Let the baking begin!

The Seahawks won the first round of the playoffs today!! It was an absolutely amazing game... totally exciting... a nail biter to the finish! They beat the Saints (last year's Super Bowl champs!) 41-36! Yeah! As I have several Saints fans as contacts on Facebook, I couldn't help but stop and take this picture when I saw it pop up on the television screen! GO HAWKS!!

For Christmas 2009 (or maybe it was his birthday last year), Ethan got a book called Ed Emberley's Complete Funprint Drawing Book. He had a little bit of fun with it but it quickly found its way to the bookshelf where it has lived ever since. Well he found it again and got out the inker and went to town. I think he's at a better age for it this year and has had a BLAST creating al sorts of fingerprint creatures! I have to say, I think he's talented! Now I want to get him the rest of Ed Emberley's books! This is what he drew on the way to school this morning. Yes, I'm a crazy mom... I pulled the car over to the side of the road and took a picture of it before he took it to school to share. I love that kid!

It's our friend Stephanie's birthday today! A bunch of us friends showed up to her house with a cupcake, a gift, and a loud rendition of the "Happy Birthday" song. Then we kidnapped her and took her to Menchie's for a birthday dessert. It was fun! In the Menchie's, there is a chalkboard that people can doodle on. I've actually walked in before and found messages from people I know! Stacy left a message for Stephanie on the board. I think it turned out cute!

I love this little baby bracelet. It belonged to my father. My grandmother relayed to me that this was the bracelet he wore in the hospital he was born in, in California in 1941. This is much cuter than the standard variety we give out today. I tried to do a little bit of research on the company listed on the box, Slavick's Los Angeles. I dug and dug and couldn't find too much. There were a couple of things I did discover. Apparently the company was founded in 1917 and was quite famous in Los Angeles. They were sold to Zales in 1964. I'm just glad I still have the bracelet and the box it came in!

This is a mug that belongs to someone I work with in the birth center. How appropriate for a birth center. I absolutely LOVE it. I love that it celebrates the beauty of a woman's pregnant body.

It was soooo snowy when I got out to my car this morning after a long night at work. I took tons of pictures but I thought the flakes looked best in this one. Pretty!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Okay... after getting a late start last year and then giving up halfway through, I've decided to give Project 365 another go this year. I have set a recurring alarm on my phone to help remind me to get a picture each and every day. Most days I don't need a reminder, but sometimes I do. Anyway... here is my first shot of the year. These are my boys and the significant thing about this photo is that it was taken at exactly at 1111 on 1/1/11!

A picture of a picture. This is my beloved Tutu. I miss her so fiercely. She would have been 85 years old if she was alive today. When I say I miss her, it's really an understatement... I can't even put it into words. She taught me SO much and yet I feel like I missed out on SO much. What I wouldn't give for even just 24 more hours with her. She's been gone for nearly 16 years. This is a picture of her as a little girl on Maui. I can't wait to be reunited with her someday!

My sweet birthday boy. This is his made-from-scratch yellow cake with cream cheese vanilla frosting. (Don't let the number of candles fool you... he simply wanted the whole box of candles on the cake. Why not?)

This is my son's cherry tree. All he wanted for his 6th birthday was a cherry tree, so we bought him one. It was no taller than the lowest branch in the photo and had just a handful of leaves. In 2-1/2 short years, it's gone crazy! I'll have to prune it this fall for sure. It's really brought us a lot of happiness watching this little tree grow so well!

This is a little bear that hangs out in my car. I have a very specific reason for buying him. One morning we went to breakfast at the Black Bear Diner and they were selling these guys. I had just come off shift at the hospital and had done the death care for a baby that was nearly exactly the size of this bear. The baby fit in the palm of my hand the way this bear did. I fell in love with that little baby. All life is sacred, regardless of how small. And that baby was no exception. I bought this bear to help me remember that always.

This is another desperation shot. Late in the day, forgot to take a pic... what can I say? There is ALWAYS something Twilight-related to take a shot of! So here it is... I took a picture of the Twilight Saga Eclipse soundtrack cover art right after downloading my digital copy of the music!

This is one of those cheater photos. Not taken with the camera exactly, but a screen shot on the iPhone. I was excited about this... it's the official Eclipse soundtrack and I couldn't be happier to have it... it's awesome!! Note that the date on this is June 7. I know, I know... all you Twihards know this soundtrack didn't actually release until June 8. But it was already midnight on the east coast so iTunes had it available for early download. Lucky me!

Okay this is a really weird shot. Unfortunately, it was the only one I got on this day. It's a picture I took in the nursery. You can see the nursery reflected in part of it and the outside parking lot in the other. Odd...

Nothing in the world like good, grade B, pure maple syrup! I am lucky enough to have a Trader Joe's very close to where I live. Despite its $14 price tag, this stuff is worth every single penny!

I got to spend the day in Seattle with an amazing group of friends... 12 of us altogether! We were blessed with sunshine, blue skies, and warm weather. We ate downtown, shopped, rode the monorail, enjoyed one another's company. Couldn't have asked for a better day!
