Our Little Boy is Growing Up....

I know I know Bear is not really our child, but for now he is pretty darn close. I love him like he is my kid. Tim and I decided to take Bear to the beach on Memorial Day for his 1st beach adventure. The closest he has ever been to the beach is taking a bath after rolling in sand at the park.....so we knew he was in for some major excitement. We went down to Dauphin Island because we knew it would not be super crowded so we would be able to let Bear run around and play. We had so much fun! It was awesome to have the day off and just be able to hang out with my hubby and my boy! Bear was a bit aprehensive of the water at first, but then I jumped in and started screaming like I was drowning and he with a very scared look in his eye, ran into the water, swam to me, and then clung to me for dear life. Ha Ha I have the scratches and bruises to prove it. He would not let go. It was hilarious. After that, he would jump in and swim around when Tim and I were in the water. He loved digging in the sand, chasing his frisbee, and just being the crazy puppy he is. Here are some pictures of our fun day!

WTF

What the?!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe its just me but apparently the American Public is deaf. Ok well atleast everyone who votes on American idol. Jason Castro and Brooke White were definitly not up to par last night, yet both of them remained safe tonight while Carly and SaYESha were in the bottom two?! What is going on? Carly and Sayesha were really good last night....this is unbeliveable. AND THEN CARLY goes home? She is pretty much the best one on the show. I am freaking out, if you can't tell.....


In other news....

My older sister, Mary Lee, got married to a wonderful guy, Matt Bush, on April 11th. It was an awesome wedding. Matt has two sons Chris and Jonah so I am excited to have two new nephews as well. Con grats Matt and Mary Lee! Please give me a niece soon! My poor parents have had 3 out of their 4 daughters get married in less than a year! I am pretty sure they should be in the Guiness Book of World records! They have put up with alot from us and I am sure they could write a book on wedding planning. Thanks mom and dad!

My Mom and Dad and I on my wedding day

June 2, 2007

Well I guess I am getting old...

My sisters Elissa, Mary Lee, me, and Julie Anna and Tim in the background

I have come to the realization that my body is aging and not as agile as it used to be. How did I come to find this out? Well this weekend I had the privilege of going to my 12 year old nephew's birthday party at the Skating Rink!! I used to be quite the roller skating queen, so I thought I was gonna blow everyone out of the water with my awesome skating ability. I had not been on skates in about 10 years....so whenever I put on those roller skates (not Rollerblades) for the first time...I thought I was gonna kill myself. My sister Mary Lee, asked me to help serve cake and ice cream WHILE I WAS IN MY SKATES. A couple kids almost got cake in their face and me in their lap. It was funny to watch the kids faces as I came stumbling towards them, I could tell they too were scared I was going to crush them. I realized my balance has definitely waned since my elementary years. Not only that but within the first 10 minutes of skating...my legs, ankles, and butt all began to hurt. I have huge bruises on my knees from my many tumbles to the ground..it was sad. Not as sad as my sister Julie Anna skating though....she is 17 and most of the 4 year olds out on the rink were better than she was. It was so so sad. She went around the rink about 3 times total in the three hours we were there with her arms out to the side slowly moving back and forth, that is if she didn't tumble to the ground. Which she did on many occasions.

Example #1 of Julie Anna about to fall (with a little help of course)

Example #2 of Julie Anna about to fall (Notice the flailing arms and we aren't even moving)

Despite the fact that I am sore and bruised, the party was fun and I decided Tim and I should go skating more often to improve our skills and maybe we can join a couples skating league (yes they really have them...).

unbelievable....

I am afraid to say it but...I think KLC (Kristy Lee Cook) might be staying around....her perfomrance last night on American Idol was in my opinion totally cheesy and her hair looked retarded but, the judges seemed to like it, so I think she might be around a bit longer. I was just sure she was going home after last week's God awful performance and didn't so, I have a feeling she won't go this week either. Hopefully I am wrong. I CANNOT stand watching her performances. Something about her gives me the heebie-jeebies.
(BTW whoever dresses KLC should be fired.)



In other news, I loved Carly's performance, Michael's rendition of "We Will rock you/ We are the Champions" took me back to my days as a soccer player, and I just LOVE Brooke! I hope she wins, she definitly has my vote.

Im gonna be famous....I think.

So a few weeks ago, Extreme Home Makeover came to Mobile. The house they were building was literally like 2 blocks away from ours. It was cool. Anyways my friend Deborah and I volunteeered and helped on the house and stuff, (ok we didn't really do much but we did walk around and accidently go into the VIP tent and have muffins and coffee, it was only when people started looking at us weird that we realized maybe we weren't supposed to be in there)...so because we "volunteered" we got to go back for the reveal when the family came home and everything (which BTW was SO COOL!) So anyways...Deborah and I decided that we were going to stand leaning up against the side of the house when they came home so we would get a good view and so we would be on tv and become famous.

So last night, the show aired. I was convinced I would have millions of people spot me on tv and call me telling me they had seen me as well as numerous people calling offering to make the next big movie star....ok not really but I was hoping I would see myself on tv b/c that would just be cool. So Tim and I made popcorn and sat down to watch the show that I have been anticipating seeing for so long. They get to the part where they pan the house after the family has seen it...and we were no where to be seen! There was this huge group of people standing there with us that they apparently cut out!

I was like what!!!!!!!!!! I was standing RIGHT THERE! Whatev, but the house is really amazingly cool. you can go to www.abc.com and watch the episode of the Gaudet family, and you will see it. I love that show!

Fashion Tips...

My wonderful husband told me yesterday that mullets were now "in style". Hmmm not sure what fashion magazine he has been reading, but I have yet to hear that. He said thats because I was no longer "in" on the current styles. "So are you saying I am a nerd?" I said. "No. No. You just have older taste and mullets are in for the younger crowd." He is such a sweetheart. :) Tell me please...how can this possibly be fashionable?
