We're on vacation!!! LOLLLLLL

Fancy pants hotel, Andaz in downtown San Diego. When I say fancy, I mean, not once did I ever have to open a door or even push a button for the elevator (ok that was just at night but still...).

Nice and freezing in the sun on the rooftop of our fancy pants hotel except...NO JACUZZI! BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Robyn the photo below is for you - - :)

Dinner at Rei de Gado or something... DELICIOUS! Next time I go, it will be on a day that I dont have to get in a skimpy dress so I can really do some damage to this butt of mine. YUMMMMMY!

Monkey man walking back to the hotel. FUNNY!

James' wife - Kate, and some other brunette I see every now and then...and Robyn :-) 

(Ah ha yes, I feel like I barely see myself anymore! LOL)

Woot woot who's dude? You would think he was 18............

Mother's Day

For Mother's Day our plans were pretty last second - to none really.  We woke up, talked about what we were going to do for about 5 minutes and boom it was done.  We went to church at 10:30 and had to do some birthday shopping (we found out Derek had to go to LA for work at Tyson Chandler's house this week - and I dread doing any kind of toy shopping with the kids so I forced us into doing that as a family) and we needed to pick out a new dining room table so we could figure out where our chandelier will be electrically wired...or kitchen table - whatever you want to call it. Anyway, it was an OK day - the only reason I say OK is because Brooklyn is a ferocious monster when she doesnt get a nap. 

AGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH 

But it was nice because we did pick out a new table fairly easy which I cant wait to receive, our other rink-a-dink IKEA $100 table did the job, but I am looking forward to finally having a nice big family table. We didnt want to have it delivered until the drywall was completed so we held off on delivery for now.  In anticipation of the new table, and other things we will have to pick up, I'm trying to figure out a way to organize a yard sale. We have a ton of junk to get rid of, so I'm starting to plan for that.

Other than that, thats all thats happening over here. Derek is gone for the week - we are hopeful he returns on Friday but possibly expect him to have to stay til Saturday. We shall see...

Have a great week everyone!

The Great Wall of Roed

I think I scared Derek the other day - either that or he was in disbelief and was not about to let me break down a wall. HA That afternoon he snook out of work early and came home to tear down our front wall (that was previously part of the front of the house). Its amazing how much bigger everything looks. We joked about not making a 3rd bedroom because the room is massive, we love having the space. Despite the holes, broken drywall, the fact that it is freezing in the morning and feels like we are camping I'm so excited to be where we are at with this remodel. I have had to take pictures off walls, our fax machine is down, wires are all over the place, the floor is NEVER clean, but it doesnt bother me in the slightest. Here are a few pictures of our temporary living arrangements. So dirty.... but so happy!

Our living room

Where the couches were/drywall that the kids colored on last year - LAST YEAR! Sheesh

The empty wall in the back is where one of the walls to the new bedroom will be - Bobby's room.

Where Brobee is hanging is the window that Mrs. Superman herself took out (that would be moi lol)

Derek, Bobby & Great Granny (Derek's grandma)

Brooklyn's 18 month stats, she weighed 25lbs & I forgot the ounces. I'm not sure her percentile but I rather, let's say, BLUNT nurse (whom I believe hates her job) assured me little Brooklyn could have NON FAT DAIRY. What????? Excuse me? Did you just tell me my 1 &1/2 year old needed NON FAT? Hey lady, suck it. She might be drinking non fat milk but grandpa feeds her a donut to wash it down - chill out. Me and Derek are far from obese, do not worry lady, we will try our hardest to prevent our kids from showing up here at the age of 10 with diabetes. LOL That nurse needs to RETIRE!!!!!!! LOL

Til next time, have a great rest of the week. We will be "camping" over in our neck of the woods for now.
