Crazy.


The day started out so good. Scott got a call saying that YGG got a Day time Emmy nomination!!!!
And I half to say it is just an honor to be nominated! I'm so proud of Scott. They also won an award called the Fred Rogers award(as in Mister). So I had my own little celebration with Harper. We went to Fashion Island where I made a couple of purchases.(We will see if I keep them)Then I went to Sarah's house to sew. While sewing we heard a loud noise and a scream. A little boy on his bike got hit by a car. It was horrible. We knew him and his mom. It really shook me up. I just kept thinking of my boys and what would I do if it were them. It's easy to take for granted your kids health.  So give your kids a big hug and kiss today and then talk to them about bike safety.

DIY

If you have been to my house lately you've might have notice that my kitchen chairs are dieing off one by one. They were nothing fancy just an Ikea set that I got 3 years ago. I realize that now is not a good time in my life to invest in quality furniture. 3 boys + nice furniture = Mommy Meltdowns. I was going to go back to Ikea and just buy some more cheapy cheapies. But next door to Julia's house was an estate sale and there were these 5 gold metal folding chairs for $20. So I bought them and spent $10 on spray paint and VOILA!(that's french) I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results. We will see if they hold up. But for $30 who cares right? I guess I should have taken a before picture, oh well next time.

Saturday with Ollie


Scott and Max left for Idaho today to get their teeth fixed by Dr. Matt. So that means Max got to ride on an airplane with Daddy (WOO-HOO). And Ollie got to stay at home with  Mommy (BORING)! So I told Ollie we were going to do whatever he wanted to and I would try not to say no. The key word was try.We started off going to Target, yes Target. We bought 2 new toys,  a pokeman ball and Ash a pokeman trainer dude. We ate rice krispie treats and coke. Then we went swimming at the Demkes. Where he had a Hotdog, coke and cake. Then we went to Beths and went swimming.....again. There he ate tons of various snacks from "the snack drawer". He got to play with Grandma and Grandpa Vegas and their dog Duchess. I believe he also battled Uncle Charles Super Mario style. Now he is currently in bed with his two new toys and some chocolate milk. After the day we had i think he will be needing a trip to Dr. Matt too.

take flight

Thanks to my friend Lance I was able to see Flight of the Conchords perform at Amoeba yesterday. It was a really good and funny show. I have a wee crush on Jemaine so I was giddy like a school girl. And I haven't been to LA in ....forever. So just being in LA in the daytime made me happy. Originally Heather and Ryan were going to come with us, but Heathers water broke and she had a baby instead. They named her Wendy Louise(after me!). She is 8pounds 2 ounces and REALLY cute. If you want to see more about her check out my sister Beth's blog.

My BFF


      Now It's Time to say A Happy Birthday to my BFF Heather!
Heather is my new Best Friend now that James Is Gone. It's been really hard for her, but great for me. I'm totally benefiting from her loneliness. Even though there are no pictures in her room of me I know I'm her best friend. Here are some great things about Heather.
1. She has always been a great Weight Watcher buddy
2. If you haven't seen her dance to dream lover your missing out(Shes really talented)
3. She always orders the larger diet coke cuz she knows I'm going to drink some
4. She let's me read her emails. It's replaced my Twilight addiction
5. I trip out that she is only 21. I never feel like I'm 11 years older than her.
6. I love that she never seems to have enough bathing suits. Seriously how many do you think you have?
7. She really is the Best Aunt, My boys Love her. Max has Rated her number 3 on his list. (She takes him to get Slurpee's)
I feel very lucky to have a Heather. I hate sharing her. So please don't ask her to visit you anymore.
