e-bay Addiction, You decide!

Answer "yes" or "no" to the following statements:

1. Do you need to bid with increasing amounts of money in order to achieve the desired excitement?


2. Are you preoccupied with auction houses (thinking about being online when offline, anticipating your next online session)?


3. Have you lied to friends and family member to conceal extent of your online bidding?


4. Do you feel restless or irritable when attempting to cut down or stop online bidding?


5. Have you made repeated unsuccessful efforts to control, cut back, or stop online bidding?


6. Do you use auction houses as a way of escaping from problems or relieve feelings of helplessness, guilt, anxiety, or depression?


7. Have you jeopardized or lost a significant relationship, job, or educational or career opportunity because of online bidding?


8. Have you committed illegal acts such as forgery, fraud, theft, or embezzlement to finance online activities?
   

e-bay addiction is a growing societal and mental health problem. Review the quiz and if you answered "yes" to any of the above questions, you may be addicted to online auction houses. These are signs that you have lost control, lied, or possibly stole money just to support your bidding behavior. Lucky I answered NO to all questions,lol, heheheheheheheheh!

Baby Dylan - 48 wks (11 mths) old today

OMG, Dylan will be 11 months old tomorrow! It is so hard to believe. I find it mind-boggling that in just 11 months (almost a year, sniffle, sniffle,) Dylan has transformed from this tiny, helpless baby into a handsome, brilliant, bubbly little person.

Everyday we go upstairs and he plays and watches Playhouse Disney on his TV in his playroom. He really enjoys hanging out with his toys and having an occasional play date with friends.

Bad to the Bone Hair Day!

Dylan has recently started to finally get some hair, YIPPEE! It is really blond, but getting thick. Here he is sporting his rock star look!

Dylan's Family Tree

Tax Time!!!!

Dylan is the spokes model for Tax Pro in Saraland, Alabama. This is their ad currently being used. The photo of Dylan was taken last summer! So all you folks in Alabama who haven't gotten your taxes files, go to the professionals @ Tax Pro!

Mr. Funny Face

This photo was taken a few weeks ago in January and it was never posted. Anyways, here it is!

Wood Floors are Installed!

Baby Dylan - 47 wks (10 mths) old today

Everyday Dylan is becoming more and more independent. He is so into feeding himself snacks. Today I found him in the floor eating his puff snacks, and he was talking away. Then I happen to look down and see him feeding himself in all his glory with a puff snack stuck to his head, LOL! He is a mess!!! (no punt intended)

Musical Valentine's Day Balloon!

Yesterday Matt woke up early and went to the store to get Dylan a Musical Valentines balloon. Dylan has always loved balloons, so we just knew it would be the perfect gift. Dylan was doing real good with it for a while. Then he developed a fear of it. Click on the image to play the video. It is 7 mins long. Enjoy!

Dylan's first, "Valentine's Day!" These are his cards!

Baby Dylan - 46 wks (10 mths) old today

Here is another photo taken of Dylan from the other night. At first I wasn't too crazy over the backdrop, it kind of looks like the spot were NASA faked the moon landing, JUST KIDDING! After I saw the photo I really loved it.

Dylan is becoming such a daddy's boy. Anytime Matt walks through the door, Dylan is like, "See ya later Mama!" He is Matt's shadow. Still to this day he only wants his daddy to put him to sleep. Although I have to say, he really likes me to feed him. I guess he has made these little decisions all on his own.

Baby Dylan - 45 wks (10 mths) old today

Mr. Dylan had his 10 month pictures made this week. It was suppose to be his 9 month, but we were a little late on it. We are a part of a milestone club, so we had some free pictures we had to take or we were going to lose them. Dylan didn't feel well at all during his session. After we were done he threw up all over his daddy. Poor Dylan, ummm poor Matt too I guess. So there weren't a lot of smiles going on. Actually, the second photo shown (Dylan in the chair) was the only time he was happy, and then he wouldn't even look up he was too tickled. The photography was playing peek-a-boo with him. I love how he swung his legs out with excitement. To some people it might not be picture perfect, but at that moment he had us all laughing and it is perfect to us!

Dylan's First Mardi Gras!

"Laissez les bons temps rouler!" That is by far one of our favorite Cajun expressions, meaning "Let the good times roll!" It strongly conveys the "joie de vivre" ("joy of living") attitude that pervades south Louisiana especially during Mardi Gras Season. We traveled to Louisiana to celebrate with family and friends for this wonderful event and had a blast. The Monday night parade seemed to be a little scary for Dylan. The whole idea of masked strangers riding these monsters (also known as floats), slinging beads at you does sound a bit scary to me too, and I am 25 yrs old. Dylan had a much better time in the daylight on Fat Tuesday. He could see everything much better. The weather held out for us with no rain until our car ride back to Houston.
