What happened the year Matt and I were born (1980):

In 1980 (the year you were born)

Jimmy Carter is president of the US (Boo! What a mess!)

Ronald Reagan is elected the 40th US president in a sweeping victory (Yes! Much better!)

Hewlett-Packard announces release of its first personal computer (Good for Matt the computer nerd and for me the blogging, board surfing addict)

Microsoft announces their version of UNIX, Xenix

Christina Ricci, Chelsea Clinton, Jessica Simpson, Macaulay Culkin, and Jake Gyllenhaal are born (Who is Jake Gyllenhaal? I just Googled him...the Brokeback Mtn, Zodiac, Jarhead guy)

Philadelphia Phllies win the World Series (Who cares?)

Pittsburgh Steelers win Superbowl XIV (I bet I can't even name one player from this team. Maybe Matt can name a few.)

The Empire Strikes Back is the top grossing film (I am not a Star Wars fan.)

"Lady" by Kenny Rogers spends the most time at the top of the US charts (Good song)

Steven's Words of Wisdom

Steven said "I wish that I was a dog so I could poop outside. That would be great."

6-17-10

I was talking to Steven about our upcoming vacation. I told him, "We are going to drive far away for our trip."

Steven replied, "Like to Castle Rock?"

6-16-10

Steven took off his shirt, looked at Matt and said, "I don't want to wear my shirt anymore. I just want to wear my tummy."

4-29-10

Today when I sternly told Steven to finish his cereal, he replied with "You don't talk to Steven that way! I'll be mad at you if you talk to me that way! You be nice, Mommy!" I guess I learned my lesson. :)

4-28-10

Steven was singing "Where is Thumbkin," only when he said Thumbkin, the TH is an F sound and the MB was missing. Oops! It was funny. :)

4-7-10

I asked Steven if we lived in Highlands Ranch. He answered, "No. We live at HOME." Then he pointed to the houses around ours. "THAT is Highlands Ranch!"

4-6-10

Steven was watching Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs. In the movie, Diego leaves the herd and says, "I'm losing my edge." Steven watched that part and said, "Hey, Mommy! Diego is leaving. He needs to find an edge."

4-4-10 (Easter)

We were driving to church and we went over some serious bumps on the dirt road. The Durango bounced and slid a little. I gasped (because I am a terrible backseat driver). Steven asked, "Mommy, did you fall?" I said, "No, I'm okay," but then Steven replied, "I fell! Be careful Durango!"

3-29-10

Steven and I were painting Easter eggs. He kept saying, "Hey, Mommy, let's put some Easter on these eggs!"

3-28-10

I was explaining to Steven that eating healthy foods helps him grow up big and strong. He said, "Okay! Come on food... Grow me up!"

3-7-10

Matt was working on a project, and in frustration he yelled, "Son of a gun!" Steven heard him and replied, "Mmmmmm. I'd like some gum."
