Chi-Town

I spent the last weekend in Chicago with my friend Sarah. We had such a great time. What didn't we do? Theater, Cubs game, great dinners, the spa and awesome deep dish pizza!!! This is such a great city. I can't wait to come back. Here are some pics from my trip. Met some great people (except one......if you see a guy that looks like Adam Sandler, kick him in the nuts and tell him he is a big douche!) We saw Billy Elliott which was wonderful. The kid was so talented. The Cubies lost but it was still a really fun experience. On Sunday we were off to the Bliss spa for a day of pampering. What a treat! To finish off the weekend, we had Chicago style pizza at Lou Malnati's. Thanks Sarah for such a great weekend. Can't wait to show you Cali one day.

Happy belated 4th of July!

Happy 4th everyone. I started to create this post on Monday but I seemed to have come down with something (I think it was the ever so popular stomach bug that our entire family has had.) Oh well, all better now. We spent the day at the pool and took some cute pictures. Wish I got more. Our original plan was to go to Folsom Lake and set up camp at one of the beaches. Well let's just say I was a bit naive with that idea. We took off before noon and all of the parking lots were full. It was a madhouse. Luckily the pool at the gym (sounds hokey but it is pretty nice) worked well. Got to swim, BBQ and hang out. All in all a good day. Happy Birthday America!

The kids are alright!

I am not sure why I named this post that but it is what came to mind. I have been telling Paul the last couple of weeks that I need to get a picture of Adrienne with Sam and Nelly. Especially the big guy (if you haven't seen him in a while, he is getting pretty old.........sigh.) Since Paul had munchkin next to Sam, I decided to grab my camera. I thought they were pretty cute but I cannot explain why same looks like the guy from Saw ( I really need to start using the red eye option on my camera.)

Walt Disney World 2010

Well we went to see the big mouse last week. I will spare all of the details, most people who read this were on the dern trip, so why bother? We did have a good time. Probably will not go back to WDW in the summer time. Hot, humid and a ton of people, ick! I do love Disney, so we will go back one day. I have a few pictures but I know that the fam has all of the best ones. Once I get those, I will post more. Here are the ones that I have. Ta ta for now!

Doggy Dash 2010

We did the SPCA Doggy Dash on Saturday. It was a much bigger event than I expected. Lots of fun. So many dogs were there so that was fun to see all of the different poochies. We brought Nelly along with us but the big man stayed home. He can't quite do a long walk anymore. Here are some pics from the day.

Fall down and go boom!

Yesterday was an interesting day. Paul fell in the gym locker room and split his forehead open. The people at the gym helped him and he seemed fine (other than the 2 1/2 inch split in his head.) He called me to come and pick him up and we would probably need to go to Kaiser. As we left the gym Paul was talking to me and was just fine. He got quiet and as I looked over, he was falling asleep in his seat. I yelled at him that he needed to stay awake. It was then that I realized, I was not driving him the entire 30 minutes to Kaiser. There was a Fire Station right in front of us so Paul said I better pull in. I ran up to the back door and could barely get a word out (the reality of the situation caught up to me.) They were great, they took care of him, put him on a board took his vitals and called an ambulance. It was pretty scary, I must say. Luckily, the paramedics from the ambulance got there and determined that he did not need to go to a trauma unit and he could go to Kaiser. Paul is just fine. He got 7 stitches in his forehead. I was pretty worried about him but he was in good hands. Thank you to the Folsom Fire Department for helping me when I spazzed out at your station (I do not do well in panicked moments.) Love you Paul!

Oh man those banana puffs are strong!

I just started giving Adrienne those little Gerber puff snacks the other day. Her face is too funny. Thought I would get some pictures of it. I have to say I couldn't quite get her best faces on camera. She was even funnier off camera.
