Memorial Time

We had a great LONG weekend which was much needed. Memorial day thank you for a paid holiday! Big shout out and thank you to all those who serve our country!


"We" did Portia and Gracie's hair on Saturday for their family pics.  Tony was a champ and tried to entertain Gracie when we lost her attention and he held the curling iron etc.  He is great.  And Gracie says the funniest stuff.  We could listen to her all day. .

We didn't get any pictures of Saturday night... ReAL had a great game followed by amazing food with Tony's friends from high school.  We were spoiled with some good food... as that is not part of my repertoire. I did make some good cookies though this weekend.

Sunday we had a crazy primary class as two of the kids were visiting from Brazil and did not speak a lick of English.  It was pretty funny trying to communicate with hand gestures and we had to crack up when one girl just kept trying to say stuff in a spanish accent. And Tony got to wear the very stylish "huggy bear" hat during singing time.  What can I say- the kids LOVE him.

Sunday my parents had us over for dinner and then we went to visit my Grandma Ruby and Grandpa Bob's graves.  We miss them so much!  Can't believe they would be 94 and 93!  Really sad that Tony didn't get to meet either of them because they were amazing people and the best grandparents ever.

Monday morning we got to have the traditional Memorial day scones with the Messam fam.  YUM!  I love these and wish we could eat them every day.  Then we spent some time watching Total Blackout which Amanda introduced us to.  We die laughing at this show.  It's on the SyFy channel for anyone who wants a good laugh.

Then we headed home for a nap and then BBQ with some of my family in the backyard...dad's prized possession.  Even though it is small it is a little piece of heaven.  So pretty back there.

Hope you had a fabulous weekend.

train of thought

So I have this really crazy train of thought.  I will just be thinking and get to a really random question but then want to ask someone about it.  For example... when we were in jr high at one of my friend's soccer games (tony was on his team and I had no idea at the time) four of us friends were on the sidelines.  I got to thinking to myself and then out loud said "is Michael Jordan really bald?"  They all looked at me and started laughing wondering why I was so crazy.

Last night Tony and I were watching the Clippers/ Spurs play and after just a few moments of not talking I asked "Do you think Rosie O'Donnell really ever had a crush on Tom Cruise?"  "What?"
I have no idea how I got there.  If anyone has an answer though: I'd like to hear it.  Was it all just a hoax Rosie? Did she lie to us all? IDK

Good Times

While our disney trip was fun we have very sore feet and backs and know which shoes not to wear.  Tony was an excellent sport and so was I might I add as I did not try and make us stay open to close every day... you know i'm getting old.  The first day we had to wake up super early to get to the airport and my dad was a champ and drove us.  Naturally we thought it was a good idea to walk over a mile each way from our hotel and then around the park.  The walk home was very sad and I fell asleep at 6 until 5:30 the next morning.  It's a talent. 

One of the best things about disneyland is the treats!!

Then we pulled our one and only open to close day on Thursday. 

Yep we wore these.  Since my head is huge I had to keep taking mine off but Tony was a champ and kept his on for a good amount of time

We had dinner at the blue bayou in the pirates of the caribbean ride

Tony thought it was quite silly as adults to get our picture taken with characters and get in a line so we just tried to do it the fast and not as embarrassing way.

Eeyore caught us and was a sport

We live for rollercoaster photo opps

 

 Then being pooped we showed up around noon on friday and were checked out after fireworks at 10... and we were smart and decided to pay for the shuttle instead of walk again.

 Yesterday we had an early mother's day celebration for my mom as she decided she'd rather be in costa rica next week.  After dinner we went into the playroom with the kids and I put some dress ups on the babes and they were cracking us up.  Granny played too and it was chaos in a tiny room.

and great news!!! our jumpin' jammerz came in the mail.  I discovered them when Ryan Gosling appeared on the Ellen Show and brought them for everyone.  Tony said any time he wants to buy something he just needs to find a way to get it on the ellen show and then I will be ok with buying it.  They are great.

It's that time

we are going to disneyland in the morning!!  We haven't been for exactly two years and the last time was rough... since I had pink eye and threw up in the world of disney store.  I was really quite a mess.  Luckily we were with my sister Danielle and her family and he had someone to hang out with while Danielle sat in the bathroom with me.  Tony and I had just made our relationship "official".... and I can't believe after seeing me like that that he still married me.  Not Tony's best first adventure to the California Disneyland.... he won't let me forget that I made a comment that the Tokyo Disneyland that he has been to wasn't the same as the "real disneyland".  Tokyo disneyland counts ok!  I'm not really one to talk as california is the only one I have ever been to.

left eye swollen ... so sad for me

so sad tony will probably not let me ask a stranger to take pics til we get a good one of these somewhere

But very excited that Tony and I can have a fun vacation together without worrying about school work or anything else!  Stay tuned for pics of places you have seen a million times.
