Cutest Entrance to a Wedding Ever

2009-07-24T09:25:00.000-07:00

This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. It will be all the rage for weddings this season, I think. If you're having a bad day you have to watch this and it will make you smile from ear to ear.

How Hot is This (w/o actually being hot)?

2009-06-02T08:21:00.000-07:00

I didn't watch the MTV movie awards (could not bring myself to waste that much time that I would never get back). But I heard so much about this I couldn't resist seeking it out and posting it (ignore Sandra Bullock and Ryan Reynolds acting like retards. I love them but...GOD!!!). This is the hottest thing w/o actually including anything sexual I have ever seen. Enjoy!!

MTV Shows

Dueling Pianos

2009-05-18T14:32:00.000-07:00

OMG!!! I had the best time on Saturday night. It was my sil's bday and we went to a dueling piano bar. I have not had that much fun in a long time. We reserved a table (a must because it gets crowded and standing is so not fun) and bought the bday pkg so she got in free and got a bottle of champagne and a free beer glass. We dedicated crazy songs to her all night and got her up on stage. They had about 10 guys from the audience get on one knee and sing "You've Lost the Lovin' Feelin' to her. It was the best. I didn't bring my camera but my sil and her friend did and they promised to send them to me. I will post as soon as I get them.

Board breaking, jumping over your sister and winning a sword (in that order)

2009-05-06T12:48:00.000-07:00

Are you saying "WTF?" Well, let me "'splain Lucy". On Saturday, the kids Tae Kwon Do school had a Grand Re-opening (they recently moved to a new very spacious studio). Activities being what they are on the weekends, we were split up between soccer and bball practice but met up at the grand opening around 12:30. After some drama with gee's and such S showed up just in time to participate in a board breaking competition. Unbeknownst to him, he was competing for this really cool sword. He ended up in the top 5 so his instructor told those 5 kids that they needed to break again and it needed to be pretty spectacular. D. motioned to S to take his sister out there and jump over her. She did as she was told (that's her in a ball on the floor. LOL). The judges were making their deterimination and all the kids started chanting S.'s name. It was pretty cool. So he won the sword pictured. Not that I'm proud & bragging. LOL

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

2009-05-04T10:27:00.000-07:00

I never really thought of myself as an "X-Men" kinda gal, but Hugh Jackman turned me into one. HOLY COW!!! He is soooo hot in this movie. And the movie itself is surprisingly good. Kept my attention for the almost 2 hours that it was on the screen. LOL. Didn't hurt that a for few of those minutes Hugh Jackman was naked!!! I think I may just go back and rent the others now that I know the "origin" =0)

Furture Black Belt in da House

2009-04-23T12:02:00.000-07:00

J. tested for and received her Blue I belt in Tae Kwon Do on Friday. We were a little nervous as to whether she was ready but she passed which was pretty cool. Following in big bro's footsteps on the path to Black Belt. =0)

Fresh back from vacay

2009-04-13T12:43:00.000-07:00

Good lord, am I tired!!!! Once again I need a vacation from my vacation. We had an action packed week. We went to Magic Mountain, the movies, Sea World, Legoland/Sea Life Aquarium and ended the week with an Easter celebration at D.'s brother's house. Magic Mountain was a hoot. I have discovered that my 8 year old baby girl is a crazy rollercoaster queen. We rode the most intense roller coaster I've ever been on. I'm pretty good on roller coasters but this thing scared the crap out of me. SHE LOVED IT. They took a picture when we were coming down the first drop and I was literally crying and she had a big ol' smile on her face. I so should've bought it 'cause it was hysterical. I was hyperventilating by the end. The only reason she was a little scared was 'cause she was worried about me. LOL. She is hardcore. Seaworld was nice. It's always cool to see those huge whales doing everything that the trainers tell them to. Legoland was ok. It was super crowded but we went with some friends who have kids the same age as S & J so it was good for them. Easter was great. Way too much food but all of it was good and great times with all the kids & family were had. Hope you all had a great Easter as well.

Headin' off for a little R & R

2009-04-03T13:03:00.000-07:00

Today is my last day of work before vacation. The kids are on Springbreak for 2 weeks and we try to take at least one week off with them. Last year at this time we were on our Mexican Cruise (sigh...God, I can't believe it's been a year). This year is a little more low key. We're just doing little local things here & there. so I probably won't post this coming week but I'll be sure to have lots of details and pics when I get back.

A Fond Farewell

2009-04-02T08:04:00.000-07:00

Well, after 15 years (& I have been faithful for all of it) ER is leaving me. I am so sad. I was there when Doug & Carol had their babies, when Mark found out he had cancer, when John & Kem lost their baby and when Luka and Abby got married. I've seen people come and go and loved every minute of it. Thursday nights just won't be the same for me but I guess I'll get over it. I guess I still have Grey's to get me through my hospital drama withdrawal. =0)

Good-Bye ER, I'll miss you.

J.K. Living (the shirt)

2009-03-31T17:17:00.000-07:00

As promised, here I am in my J.K. Livin' t-shirt. It's sooooo comfy. Thanks Matt for making them available, FINALLY!!!!

Sony Classic Soccer Tournament

2009-03-31T16:40:00.000-07:00

This past weekend J. participated in the Sony Classic Soccer Tournament. Sony Pictures is here in Culver City and they sponsor a soccer tournament every spring. The best part was that J.'s games were right here at our local park (right behind our house). They played 1 game on Saturday and 2 on Sunday. Saturday's game ended in a 0-0 tie (sensing a pattern here?). Sunday's 1st game was a blowout. Our girls (the Culver City Sparks) won 7-1. The 2nd game was soooo intense but unfortunately ended in a 0-0 tie. Those girls were on fire I tell you. The were aggresive, shots on goal were high and so was the energy. It was so fun. Unfortunately, at this age they don't keep standings but it was a great chance for the girls to get more playing time in. So a good time was had by all.

Have Mercy!!!

YOU will be tired after you read about my weekend...

2009-03-23T14:40:00.000-07:00

A great weekend but soooooo damn tiring I'm still tired. =0) Saturday J. had her second spring league soccer game and the girls did so much better. They dominated the whole game but just could not get the ball in the net. It ended in a 0-0 tie again but they had so many shots on goal I couldn't even count.
S had a cool experience through his baseball team. They got to meet Team USA and Team Japan at the Urban Youth Academy (where he practices). These are the teams that are playing in the World Baseball Classic. The only name & face that I recognized was Derek Jeter but I thought that was pretty cool. He was also interviewed by ESPN & a Japan sports news channel while he was there.
Then I went out with a friend for a girls night out. It was her sister's birthday and she had gotten a limo and a hotel room. We went for an awesome dinner at a steakhouse called Mastro's and then went dancing. A great time. Got home at 2:30am then had to get up at 6:30 to go to S's baseball games. The first game was supposed to be at 9:30 but the opposing team didn't show (got up at 6:30 for nothing). Next game was at 12:00. Good game. They won but we didn't get home until 3:00. Then J had a meeting with her science project partners, I had to go to the grocery store, finish laundry make dinner and finally got to sit down and relax at 8:00pm. Out of breath yet? I am just thinking about it. All in all a good weekend but boy am I tired.

The Big 4 - 5

2009-03-20T08:14:00.000-07:00

No, I'm not turning 45. I'VE LOST 45 LBS!!!!! Today is my weigh-in day and I'm at 45. 19 more to go. Ok that's it. Just had to brag a bit. =0)

J.K. Livin'

2009-03-19T13:13:00.000-07:00

Nearly three years ago I blogged about my obsession with Matthew McConaughey and the fact that I wanted to get a J.K. Livin' shirt (his motto) that he had on in an interview. Well, he has finally opened his online store and is selling them. Guess who's gettin' herself one. If you guessed MOI that would be correct. I'll post a pic of me in it once I get it. The insanity continues. =0)~

J.K. Livin'

Damn, Camila is a lucky girl!! Look at that face would you please! =0)

Spring Sports at their finest

2009-03-16T17:29:00.000-07:00

Well J had her first spring league soccer game this past Saturday. The girls are really strong defensively but really need to work on their offense. The game ended in a tie 0-0 hence the work needed on ofense. I think we have a strong team and with a little work they can be great. (That's her...ponytail a flying' in the black shorts and blue & white striped shirt. #9) =0)

S's baseball is in full "swing" (pardon the pun). The Rockstars participated in a tournament this weekend and came in second. I didn't get to go but according to D they really could've won the whole thing but they made some really stupid mistakes in the finals that cost them the game. The pic to the left is of them after one of the wins (obviously). S just barely made it in the picture on the far right. =0)

"Apple Bottom Jean...Jeans...."

2009-03-16T15:03:00.000-07:00

"...boots with the fur...with the fur." Ok, I'm a 'tard. But I am sooooo excited that I was able to get my very first pair of Apple Bottom Jeans and better yet... for 45% off. I can't wait (CAN'T WAIT, I TELL YOU) to wear them. Last year at this time I would not have been able to fit my big toe in a pair (even tho' I think they are supposed to be for exactly my body type.... chicks with a bit o' junk in the trunk. LOL). Anyways, that was my excitement this weekend. Also, J started her Spring League soccer season but I couldn't download the pics yet so you'll have to get a post about that tomorrow. =0)

Weight Watchers Rocks

2009-03-11T13:12:00.000-07:00

Ok so it's been a looooooong time since I posted but I do have some awesome news. I started Weight Watchers back in September and so far I have lost 43 lbs. I had gotten RIDICULOUSLY FAT and was just miserable. I feel so much better about myself now. The really cool thing is that once people at work really started to notice, a lot of them got on the band wagon as well. I still have about 20 lbs to go to hit my goal and the loss has really started to slow down but I'm pluggin' along. I've gone down 6 sizes in clothes. Luckily I kept alot of my smaller clothes but even those are kinda big now. =0) A good problem to have I guess, but D is gonna kill me 'cause soon I will need to start buying new clothes. LOL. Anyways, I hope to keep up better (not making any promises) if only to update on my weight loss.

Tootles!!!

Movin' on Up

2008-10-14T13:26:00.000-07:00

Well, J. is totally following in her Bubba's footsteps. She tested for and passed to get her blue belt in Tae Kwon Do last Friday. I was nervous for her all week because one of the main things that she had to do was break a board with a side kick. She struggled with it in class all week but did end up doing it twice in class. In the pic, Bubba is helping to hold the board while she broke it. GIRL POWER!!!!!

"Stay at Home" Week

2008-09-24T13:31:00.000-07:00

I am so happy and bummed all at the same time. My favorite shows are coming back with new episodes about which I'm thrilled. BUT...some overlap and D is having a cow because I am monopolizing both T.V.'s. Dancing with the Stars started on Monday with a 3 night 2 hours each night extravaganza (really...3 nights?). SVU started last night overlapping DWTS. DWTS is on AGAIN tonight for 2 hours. Then tomorrow night Ugly Betty premieres then a 2 hour Grey's Anatomy and ER overlaps that. What's a girl to do about DVR'ing all these vices. =0) I'm also trying to DVR old House episodes because I got on that band wagon late in the game. I don't think I can handle anymore shows cause I think my DVR will explode. =0)

I must comment on DWTS. I love this season. Poor Jeff Ross. He was soooo out of his element. I think they rightfully put him out of his misery by voting him off first. Toni Braxton is a little on my nerves with her "condition". Hello, it's a heart condition. Maybe being on a dance show wasn't such a great idea. I'm bummed that Kim Kardashian isn't doing that well. I think she is sooo beautiful but maybe she should stick to "accidently leaked" internet porn and controlling her out of control family. Ted McGinley I have heard referred to as this season's Guttenberg. =0) Cloris Leachman will probably be the next to go cause the "crazy old lady" routine will only get her so far. I'm in LOVE with Warren Sapp. I just want to hug his teddy bear self. And he's so light on his feet. Lance Bass is full of it when he says that he was the worst of all the N'Sync boys at dancing. He looks great and I really like that new girl they paired him with (except I think she thinks she going to bring him back over to the "straight" side). I'm still a little up in the air about Misty May-Trainer. She looks kinda manly but she is definitely better than Monica Seles was last season. Brooke Burke is the odds on favorite to win in my opinion. She is beautiful and clearly has what it takes (including some dance training that she's not telling anyone about). So those are my opinions about this seasons DTSW. I'll post more as the season goes on.

Owed to my Dad

2008-09-19T07:27:00.000-07:00

Life has been a bit chaotic lately. About a month and a half ago my Dad broke his hip. He had hip replacement surgery and was moved to a rehab hospital for therapy. Unfortunately, after about 2 weeks there, he contracted an infection and was taken to the emergency room. He was admitted to ICU with sepsis and a dislocated hip (having dislocated the hip he had replaced). He hadn't been eating almost since he broke his hip so he was very weak and frail. He was in the ICU for about a day and a half when his little body sucummed to the infection. My Mom and I were both with him when he passed telling him it was ok to go. He is at peace now and for that I am grateful.

My Dad was great, hard working man. He worked 2 jobs for a good part of my childhood so that my Mom didn't have to work and they could send me to Catholic school. He loved to laugh. If he pulled you aside at a party, you could guarantee he was going to tell you a dirty joke. =0) He & my Mom were married for 42 years (they just celebrated their 42nd anniversary right after he broke his hip). He had 3 sisters and is survived by 2 of them (Gerry & Wilda). My grandparents and his older sister preceeded him to heaven so he is there with them now. I will always miss him but know that he is my guardian angel now.

Baseball is over already

2008-05-30T15:19:00.000-07:00

I can't believe baseball season has come and gone and I only posted about it once. To the left are their individual team pics. They, of course, had a great time but unfortunately, both were eliminated in the first round of playoffs. S is completely done but J still has a "King of the Hill" tournament which starts this weekend. If they lose tomorrow, then they are completely done, but if they win they play through the week until they lose or if they win all games they are deamed King of the Hill. =0)

Cruisin' '08

2008-04-07T14:58:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,

We are fresh back from our Carnival Cruise to Catalina & Ensenada. It was the 4 day cruise (we left Monday and returned on Friday). We had such a great time. The kids FAVORITE part was the pool on the boat. Every spare moment that they had was spent in it. =0) This is a precursor to the Hawaii one that we want to do next year. The weather was pretty good so we came back a little darker and little more tired than when we left (I need a vacation from my vacation).

Easter 2008

2008-03-27T10:52:00.000-07:00

We had such a great Easter. D's Mom came in from Colorado and stayed with us. We went to Benihana restaurant on Saturday night to celebrate D.'s brother's 40th bday. That was so fun. The kids really loved it.

Then we all celebrated Easter on Sunday. D's aunt and cousins joined us so all the kids got to play together all day. That was great.

Then to cap off an action packed weekend, our sister-in-law got tickets for a suite at the Staple center and D., his brother, his wife, D.'s Mom & I went to the Laker game. That was a blast. Hope you all had a great Easter too!

Tae Kwon pics

2008-03-24T11:26:00.000-07:00

Just had to share and brag a little on my "babies". S & J's Tae Kwon Do school had a photographer come in to take pics of all the kids. If I do say so myself I think my kids look pretty darn cool!!!! =0)

"Batter up!!!"

2008-02-28T15:15:00.000-08:00

Well, baseball season has started and we have 2 little sluggers in the family now. J is playing AA with the Dodgers and S is back on the Major Cardinals. He's considered a veteran now and he's the starting pitcher. I think J has learned baseball just from osmosis of being at S's games so she's doing well. AA is also known as 5 pitch. The coach pitches 5 times to each hitter and if they get a hit in there somewhere they do what is normally done in a game...run like hell. =0) If they don't get a hit in those 5 pitches, then it's the next hitter's turn. In her first game, J got a hit and made it to 1st and the next hitter got a hit and J made it 2nd then she got out. But she had the best time and feels like such a big girl now. =0) The schedule is crazy with 2 playing. We have a least 2 games during the week and sometimes 4 on the weekends between the 2 of them. Will hopefully update more often as the season goes on.

Happy New Year!!!!

2008-01-07T13:30:00.001-08:00

Holy crap!!! I haven't written in four months. Time goes by way tooo fast. Hope everyone's holidays were great. Ours were. We did the Disney Christmas Eve thing again this year. It was way more crowded this year than it has been in the past. We still had fun but we stood in line a lot longer. J. is still hardcore so we didn't have to waste our time in line at the "baby" rides. =0) We were pretty pooped out by about 7:00pm so we didn't get to stay to see the snow or fireworks. I think we might give this one more year and then if it's even more crowded next year we'll find a new tradition. =0)
Christmas Day was pretty mellow. My Mom & Dad came over to see the kids open their presents and then came back later for dinner. We just vegged and let the kids play with all their new stuff.
New Years was pretty boring. J, S & I were all asleep before midnight so D celebrated the new year playing Guitar Hero. =0) My Mom & I took the kids to see the Rose Parade floats on display on the 2nd. It was cool and luckily we got there early because by the time we were done the crowds were getting big. Well, thought I would just give a brief update since I hadn't written in so long.

Happy New Year to everyone!

1st Day of School

2007-09-05T14:44:00.000-07:00

Well, I officially have a 1st grader and a middle schooler. S & J started school yesterday. J.'s first day was pretty uneventful but poor S. We dropped him off at the gate per his request. My Mom & I then went on the hunt for the afterschool care room. We asked a security guard and and found it right away. As we were getting ready to take J on to school I heard "Mom!!!" I turned to see my little boy with eyes as big as saucers asking me "Do you know where 301 is?" He was still looking for his homeroom and the 2nd bell had already rung. I directed him to the security guard who had just given us directions. When I picked him up I found out that his schedule had the wrong room # on it so he was running in circles looking for the wrong room. He made it to homeroom just as it was over. =0( Luckily, he did see the teacher and told her that he got lost and she was understanding. So we are off and running with school and activities again. Both soccer teams start games this weekend so life will be hectic for quite a while. Wish me luck. =0)

So funny I had to share

2007-08-09T15:23:00.001-07:00

I'm sure you all have seen or heard the uncanny impression that Matt Damon does of Matthew McConnaghey but if you haven't, you have to see both of these. It's hysterical and impressive. If you just heard it you would swear it was Matthew McConnaghey. There are 2 clips below from the David Letterman show where Matt displays his talent. Even if you don't like Matthew McConnaghey, you have to get a kick out of this dead-on impression (and Matt Damon isn't too hard to look at either. =0)

Following in her brother's footsteps

2007-08-07T07:44:00.001-07:00

J tested for and received her yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do last Friday evening. We've been waiting a while for this so we are very proud of her. And an additional bonus was that S was on the panel of judges for her test.

Graduations Galore

2007-06-13T10:55:00.000-07:00

As of next week I will be the proud Mother of a 1st grader and a middle schooler. J graduates from Kindergarten on Thursday and S graduates from 5th grade on Friday. I cannot believe it. I remember S's first day of Kindergarten like it was yesterday. And J was only 7 months old when S started Kinder. Amazing. They grow way too fast. I'm looking forward to summer and not having to stress about getting homework done before activities. S is starting a club soccer team and he also made the baseball All Stars. J will continue with Tae Kwon and gymnastics and both will be going to day camp. I'm trying to plan a fun vacation for the end of summer, something tropical and beachy, but we'll see. I hope to post often but don't be surprised if I don't. =0) Ta ta for now.

Long time no post!!!

2007-03-27T14:47:00.000-07:00

I feel really bad. In the last post I bragged all about S's black belt test and I didn't even mention our celebration of J.'s bday (the weekend before). We all went to Disneyland (her choice) and Cal Adventure. Bdays for kids there are always so fun. We've done it the last three years because she loves it so much. The picture you see is all of us (and my friend Courtney) on Space Mountain. This pic is so great because all the other times we rode Space Mountain you couldn't even see J cause she's so teence. =0) And I love the look on her face and Courtney's face (classic). We stayed the night at the Paradise Pier and then went to Cal Adventure on Sunday. I think this might be the last year we do this. Now that J is in school and she's been invited to quite a few bday parties I think she is going to want her own party next year. =0)

We've been going like gang busters since the beginning of the year. Between S's black belt test and his baseball season starting and he's still on the All Star soccer team we don't even know what weekends are anymore. It's fun, though (but very tiring). J is also doing gymnastics and Tae Kwon Do so just call me the taxi driver. =0)

Then on top of everything else my poor Mom broke her arm. Really bad (in 4 places). She's doing better now but still not able to drive which is totally driving her nuts cause she is soooooo active.

A Black Belt in the House

2007-02-14T11:27:00.000-08:00

Holy moly!!! It's been almost 2 months since I posted. Life has been just a little hectic lately. The most important thing that has happened is that S. test for and received his Black Belt in Tae Kwon Do. It was a grueling 2 hour test which he did alone (no one else tested with him). He had to jump up and break a board with both his feet, he had to break a brick with his fist and had to spar with 2 other boys at once (those are just a few of the things he had to do). There were 8 other black belts there judging him (including his instructor) and he passed with flying colors. This is a major accomplishment for a 10 year old. He had to do all the same things a grown man would do if he was testing for his black belt and we are so proud of him.

MERRRRRYYYYY CHRISTMAS!!!!

2006-12-29T09:20:00.000-08:00

What a fantastic Christmas we had (I hope everyone did too). As you can see we went to Disneyland on Christmas Eve. We had the best time ever. J is now hardcore. She rode all the big rides (Space Mountain, Matterhorn, Thunder Mountain, Star Tours) with us. She would've ridden Indiana Jones too but she wasn't tall enough. =0) We even stayed late enough to see the fireworks and snow. So Christmas Eve 2006 is now officially the best time I've ever had at Disneyland. Christmas day was awesome too. We got S the Nintendo Wii so of course that was the hit of the day. There is no vegging out infront of the TV on that one. You really get a work out. =0) Santa brought J Baby Alive which is a crack up. She eats and poops and she tells you when she does "a stinky". Totally hilarious. D & the kids got me a beautiful diamond circle necklace which was totally unexpected. We got D a cool speaker for his IPOD so he can play guitar along with it. That's about it for now. Here's wishing everyone a very Happy and Safe New Year. Look out 2007, here we come. =0)

It's an obsession

2006-12-18T10:20:00.000-08:00

I believe I forgot to include the lovely gentleman in the photograph when I listed my "addicitons". My God!!! The man is perfect. He's gorgeous, sweet, down to earth, funny and as you can see not to hard too look at. I have my DVR set to record anything and everything that has his name in it. It's really bad. =0) I am now in search of a way to get a t-shirt that he was wearing in an interview with "J.K. Livin'" on it. Not necessarily the one he was wearing (although that would be the best). So I'm on a mission. Anyways, I just realized that I forgot to include this fine example of the human form in my addicitons and, for now, he's at the top of the list.

GOOOOOOAAAAAALLLLLL!!!!!!! (or no goal as it were)

2006-12-13T08:14:00.000-08:00

Well there he is. My little star goalie. This is a picture of S defending the goal at the 2006 Myles Standish Soccer Tournament at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, CA. It took place the Fri., Sat., & Sun after Thanksgiving. A very long weekend indeed. S had 3 shutouts out of 5 games. They ended up coming in 4th out of 16 teams. Which I thought was pretty darn good considering they had only practiced as a team twice before the tournament. All in all a fun but stressful and tiring weekend. Thank goodness this little boy takes after his Daddy in the athleticism department. He just takes naturally to any sport he plays. I love it. I was never athletic as a kid so it's so great to watch him and cheer for him as he does so well. He has another tournament this weekend. This should be interesting because D's family is coming to celebrate early Christmas with us. There are 3 games throughout the day on Saturday. Luckily, it's a little closer (Torrance, CA) than the last one. I hope everyone is having a great holiday season and I hope to post again before Christmas.

Time flies when you're having.....fun?

My gosh, it's been almost a month since I posted. The days just become a blur after awhile. Between soccer, baseball and Tae Kwon I'm running like a chicken with my head cut off. The first weekend in November, D & S went to Dallas to the NASCAR races and they had a blast. Then last weekend D took both kids camping in Ventura so Mommy had a weekend to herself. I can't remember the last time I had one of those. I was a little torn between looking forward to it and thinking I would miss the kids alot. But it was great and boy did I need it. I had a horrendous week last week and just needed the break. Thanksgiving is next week and then time just flies to the end of the year. We're spending Thanksgiving at my parents and then S has a soccer tournament all weekend starting that Friday. So we'll be busy bee's next week. In case I don't post again before the holiday

HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO EVERYONE!!!!

Dancin' with the Stars & other addictions

2006-10-18T15:17:00.000-07:00

Ok folks, I am as addicted to the following shows as it gets (in no pariticular order):

Dancing with the Stars
Grey's Anotomy
Nip/Tuck
ER
Lost
Days of Our Lives

By the end of the regular TV season I am exhausted. Thank goodness for DVR. Oh, I'm addicted to that too. =0)~

For the love of God, Mario Lopez is soooo HOT!!!!!! I have always loved guys that can dance & that boy can dance. Very easy on the eyes as well (note pic above) so Dancing with the Stars has my attention on Tues & Wed. Grey's Anatomy just sucked me in against my will. I DVR'd the season finale last year for my Mom and ended up watching it and I couldn't wait til this season started (can't remember why I didn't start watching from the beginning but I'm hooked now). Nip/Tuck is just this side of porn, I swear, but I love it. =0)~ I've been hooked on ER since the beginning 150 years ago. And they just keep bringing in the cuties. =0) Lost is the one & only show that D and I voluntarily watch together. We love it. And last but not least Days. I have been a fan since I was in elementary school but have only watched on & off the last few years. Somehow I got sucked back in early this year and it's like I never left.

So those are my TV addictions for now and I reserve the right to add to or delete from this list at will.

Hip Hoppin' & baseball

2006-10-16T10:40:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone (assuming there is more than one person out there),

J had her 1st hip hop dance class on Saturday. Too darn cute. I was busy taking video so I didn't get any pictures but she has 5 more weeks so I'll try to get at least one good one to post here. It is held at a local gymnastics school and she watched a little bit of the gymnastics class that was going on after her dance class. We'll see if she wants to do that too.

S had a baseball game yesterday which I missed because I was at a bday party with J and he hit a triple and although he got out he brought 2 runners in. He hasn't done much with hitting during this fall ball season and of all days for me to miss it. Oh well. =0)

Well, not much else going on so I'll post again soon.

It's been a long time

2006-10-12T09:33:00.000-07:00

Well, I haven't been so good at keeping this thing up to date, huh? Let's see, I'll try to give an abbrieviated update of the last 2 months.

S passed his Red II test with flying colors so he's on his way to his Black Belt.
The kids started school & are doing great. J is loving being a big Kindergartener.
S is a busy boy. He's playing AYSO soccer,Fall baseball, and still going to Tae Kwon Do three times a week.
We had a parent/teacher conference for both of them this week and they are both doing great.
J is still taking Tae Kwon Do and loving it.
Not sure if you can tell in the picture but S got his highlighed tips on his spikey hair do. He's been wanting it for soooo long. He looks so darn cute if I do say so myself. =0)

Mine and D's lives are pretty boring as far as activity. It's all about the kids. =0) Hope to be better at updating.

TGIF

2006-08-11T15:06:00.000-07:00

This week sped by. Especially considering I was fresh back from vacation. S has his Red II stripe test in Tae Kwon Do tonight at 5:30. I know he will breeze though but I always have my fingers crossed just in case. =0)

I can't believe there are only 3 weeks left until the kids start school. This summer has flown by. S starts 5th grade and J (my baby) starts Kinder. It's incredible how fast these kids grow. I still remember both pregnancies and births as if they were yesterday. (sniff, sniff).

Well better go.

Back from the Rockies

2006-08-09T08:20:00.000-07:00

Well, we just got back from visiting D's family in Colorado. Great trip. The kids had a great time horseback riding and going down the Alpine slide (the pic is of S, D & J going up the lift to the Alpine slide). They were sad to leave but I was glad to get home. I think a week is all I can handle of being out of my own bed. We had a great time but I think I need a vacation from my vacation. =0) Glad that we had a day to recoop before we had to go back to work.

Is it only Wednesday???

2006-07-26T12:28:00.000-07:00

This week feels like it's already been 7 days long. Thank goodness we leave for vacation on Saturday. We're going to Colorado to visit D's sister & her family and his Mom. Should be a fun trip. We've never been to Colorado. The kids are really looking forward to it. Tried to start packing last night. I am so not good at packing. I want to take all the clothes we own just so we have choices. We'll see what I end up with once I see how much doesn't fit in the suitcase. =0)

Hey y'all

2006-07-21T11:57:00.000-07:00

Howdy,

Well, here's my second post and I'm shocked that I am doing it the very next day. =0) TGIF. What a crazy, hectic week. I worked late 2 days this week and had to stress about child pick up and drop off at various practices. Thank God for my Mom (what would I do without her). Nothing much planned for the weekend. S has an All Star bball game Saturday evening but that's it. Hope everyone has a good weekend.

1st post

2006-07-20T12:51:00.000-07:00

Good morning all,

I can't believe I'm actually giving in to this blog thing. I saw that it was free thru Google and thought, "What the heck." I can't say I will post a ton since my life is pretty boring (LOL) but I think it's cool that I can. I inserted this picture of me at my company party just to see if I could do it. =0)

Hope you all will check in every once in a while to see what's up. =0)
