I love technology

I love technology!

I love technology. I took this picture last night with my cell phone and just sent it to my blog-how weird. Anyway this is a picture of my monkey (daughter) alivia. She climbed into this position all by herself

What did you say to me?!

I swear my mother runs across some of the weirdest people. Here are some of her stories:

A few years ago her and my dad were at a concert at riverport and I guess there were some kids behind them being obnoxious. Someone said something to the kids about the way they were acting and the kid responded with
"Why don't you go throw up on yourself or something" Everytime they tell that story we all crack up laughing.

A few months ago my mom went to a gas station near her house to get some coffee-nothing else. She went up to pay and the kid that was working there had a button on that said "If I don't offer you the rain-x carwash-it's yours for free" or something like that. So he rings up her coffee and says see ya later. She then says "You didn't offer me the carwash-so I get it for free right?" He says to her "Well, ugh, I didn't know that you were going to pay with a dollar" Not really sure what he meant by that but she got the free carwash. Those are like $14!!

Last night she went to Jack in the Box and ordered some ice tea (They have THE BEST ICE TEA-I'M DRINKING SOME RIGHT NOW!!) Anyway-they handed her the tea and said "Would you like any cream or sugar with that?" She said "Um, no thanks"

geez!!

Mall Rats

Amber, Bryan, Brayden, Alivia and I went out to dinner and to the mall last friday night. Not sure why we thought that would be a good idea to go to the mall on a friday night. Anyway, Bryan was in a wedding on saturday and Amber needed something to wear (as usual!). So we walk into the mall and it's much worse than I expected. There were LOTS and LOTS of teenagers with black clothes and bad haircuts walking around. There were a few girls walking around with those stupid child development baby dolls AT THE MALL, one of the girls actually had her fake baby in a STROLLER!!!! Amber says "When I had that doll it spent the week in the trunk of my car" Nice-luckily her real mother skills are better than that!!

So Bryan and I are about done with the mall and Amber wants to go back and look at a shirt she saw. Outside of this store were a few couches and a few chairs. Bryan walked over and sat down and I followed him. Next thing we know about 6 of these punk kids came running over and were laying on the couches and about 3 of them were sitting in one chair. They were wrestling around and dropped their overly large can of jolt. It spilled all over the floor and they thought it was hilarious. As people were walking by one kid (that looked like a girl) was asking people to give him money to lick the jolt off of the floor. He didn't get any takers. I looked over at Bryan and said "Hey, Bryan, do you have a dollar?" He grinned and said "Yea" so he reached into his pocket and said "Hey, I'll give you a dollar to lick that off of the floor" So the kid went over and PULLED HIS HAIR BACK and licked away. He then came running over to Bryan for his prize. Then another kid said "Hey, I'll...I'll, Um, I'll snort it through my nose for a dollar" So Bryan said "Ok" Then he did. Bryan paid him off too. The kid kept sniffling and his nose was bright red. It was cheap entertainment for a few minutes.

I forgot to mention that when amber was trying on something she came out of the dressing room without a shirt on-she forgot to put one on-I was outside the store when it happened but I thought that was pretty funny!!

Everyone loves a blue eyed girl!

Brayden's Mohawk

As promised:

Here's are pics of brayden's mohawk and alivia's pretend mohawk that daddy gave her in the bath!

Open House

My house was a crazy place this weekend. I can't complain though I love it. Friday night, I took Alivia to my mom's so that I could hang out at the bowling alley for a few hours. Saturday Rob was playing golf (this happens once a year!) Alivia and I hung out for awhile until the madness began. Amber and Bryan came over around 11. They are getting ready to move back in with us. Amber didn't care for the birdhouse decoration that was going on in the bedroom they would be living in so she took it upon herself to repaint it-whatever-one less thing I have to do! Amber and Bryan began painting so Alivia, Brayden and I were playing in the living room. That was going ok and then Jenny, Anthony and Jack came over. I was going to watch the boys for a little bit. So now Alivia, Brayden and Jack were all playing. They played really well together and took turns taking naps all afternoon. Anthony is such a great helper!!! We ordered pizza for lunch. Rob got home and I felt so bad for him. All he wanted to do was come home and watch football in peace and quiet!! We have three tvs in our house. Amber and Bryan had the basement a mess from painting, I was in the living room with the babies and there was a baby or two taking a nap in our room at most points of the day. At one point I went downstairs to check on what was going on down there and when I came up rob was yelling "Amy, there's babies crying all over the place" It was pretty hilarious!! We went to St. Charles and walked around that night at the mosaic fair-it was a beautiful night. On Sunday I had to work at the diner. My mom calls around 4 and says "Amber invited us over to look at the room" So we had a replay last night. My mom, dad, Ashley, Amber, Bryan and Brayden all came over last night. We hung out for awhile and Amber gave a bunch of hair cuts including Braydens (pictures of his new mohawk should be ready soon!) When Amber got to my house last night she says to my dad "Grab a piece of paper" He didn't so she continued "Bryan's car needs new shocks and a new battery and my car needs new brake pads" Later that night Ashley says "Amber can I have your old shocks" Me and my dad are thinking "She surely doesn't mean car shocks" She didn't, she was talking about nike shox shoes. We all had a good laugh about that. Tonight I guess I have to go grocery shopping because yesterday when I asked Rob if he was hungry he said "I have been hungry all day, we haven't had any food for two weeks" He exagerates a little.

End of the Fad Diet

Tuesday was the last day of my diet (which I haven't exactly been sticking to!) BUT, I went to the doctor this morning for my final evaluation and I lost another 2 pounds. The grand total of weight loss is 16 pounds. I would like to lose a little more but I think that's a good start. The main goal was to get to pre baby weight and I did that about 4 pounds ago so my goal was achieved!!

Random thoughts and comments....

Toys R US

Amber and I went to Toys R Us Monday night looking for halloween costumes for the babies. We didn't really find anything but I did find an outfit for Alivia and I needed batteries for a new toy that I bought her last weekend. So, we are checking out and AS THE GIRL SCANS MY BATTERIES she says "Do you need any batteries today?" I looked at her and I said "I think the batteries you just scanned should do just fine" This would have been a valid question if I had bought a toy or something that required batteries-but I didn't-I bought a onesie, jeans and the cutest velcro corduroy shoes ever for $2. Needless to say, she felt pretty stupid.

New Car

I accidentally put regular gas in my new car that is supposed to take premium gas. I remembered that I wasn't supposed to do that about 15 minutes after I did it-oops.

Rob's "New Job"

Rob is a "gamble-a-holic" from way back. He still hasn't found a job-it's been about 5 weeks now. He's been playing $30 poker tournaments at the boat during the day. ( Because this is what you should be doing when you don't have a job?!?!) Anyway, yesterday he won first place and it paid $700. Last weekend he was betting on football and won $1,300. He is calling this his "job" now. And the scary part is that he is serious. If a job doesn't offer a 401 K or a weekly paycheck where taxes are taken out then IT'S NOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!! Lord help me......
