FREE CONCERT!!

Tuesday night Jer got free concert tickets to The Police, I much prefer just sting to the Police, but it's free and hey, who doesn't like The Police? Too bad it was way short notice and we didn't have a babysitter, so what do we do, yeah that's right, just take her along. So here we are with our almost two year old hanging out at The Police. We did leave a little early since it was way past bedtime and the walk back to the car was so long, I thought for sure my feet were going to fall off. I really did get blisters from it. It was an outdoor event so it wasn't too weird to see a toddler running around on the grass, but honestly I have never before seen so many people crammed into an amphitheatre. It was like seeing it at the Delta Center, but outside. I know Mers is totally Jealous right now, but even though sting sounded great, his new 80's lumberjack look was kinda throwing me off. As you can see from the video, he's sporting an old man beard/mustache combo with a black T-shirt, no sleeves. I was not impressed, he did however sound great!! Mers, too bad you don't live here, we had four extra tickets that went to waste.

Ahh, the perks of summer interns.

The Artist

OK, so I wasn't fully paying attention to my child today, (so really it's all my fault) but here's what she did to occupy herself.

Lucky for me it was done with a beautiful shade of pee yellow highlighter, so it was quite easy to clean off with a little Windex. Also, thanks to the leather, our chair is back to it's original color of brown. This little girl did quite the job redecorating pretty much my entire living room from every wall to the shutters and even the direct TV box. She even managed to color her potty...inside and out. As I opened her potty to examine the damage on the inside, she let out a long and drawn out "Ah Ohhhh" Almost in a taunting sort of way. I guess that was pay back for being on the computer. Nice one Iz. Later, after just getting this mess cleaned up, I found her sitting on her potty, taking large sips of milk and spitting it onto the floor. I guess today was a time out day!!

I must add that she snatched this highlighter right out of the office while I was on the computer, now that's one sneaky kid or one zoned out parent. From now on all computer time will be spent at night or during naps....lesson learned. Oh and these are only a few of the walls, it was everywhere, including all over her legs and shirt!

Grandma and Grandpa!!

(I think those are the whitest legs in the world)

Here's gangsta hill, we decided that only the coolest people ride in limos and everyone was going to be dissapointed when we got out of it.

Grandpa's gangsta signs, he actually just looks like he has bad arthritis.

We got to spend this past week this Grandpa and Grandma, it was a ton of fun and although we were very sad to see them go, we know that we'll see them again in two months, so it's not so bad! They showed up on Mother's Day and we had a great dinner that night. The next day, Jer and I surprised them by taking everyone on a limo ride and then out to a fancy dinner. It was so much fun and I think they were really surprised. We spent the end of the week hanging out in San Antonio. It's a really pretty city with a lot of culture and history. Although the Alamo was much smaller that I thought it was going to be, it was still really cool to see a 300 year old structure. I also love American history, so I loved it. We also saw the river walk, some IMAX shows, the temple and body worlds. It was really fun to watch Izzy go crazy with all the attention. She is talking more than ever and I swear she talks more when Grandma's around. She was a really good traveler and we only had one freak out, so I'm not so scared to take her places anymore. I even think that she could handle a movie with us. As long as she has popcorn a drink and her blankie, she's good to go. That's a good thing, since all the cool movies are coming out and I don't want to get babysitters, one bad thing about not having family around. Anyway, it was a really fun week, thank you so much Mom and Dad for coming to see us and taking us on vacation!! Can't wait to see you all again in July!!

A Southern Shower

I've been really busy lately, but it's been a ton of fun. One of my good friends from NH who is like a little sister to me is getting married this weekend. Since she is getting married down here in Houston, we decided to throw her a shower yesterday. It was a little twist on a Southern Belle theme. Other than the food not being ready on time, it was a really great shower. Instead of mint julip, we had mint lemonade and we also had some of the most amazing desserts. I would have liked to have done more with magnolia's, since they are blooming right now and Houston is known as the Magnolia city, but most of the trees are in other peoples yards, so I didn't want to steal from them...plus, that's just weird. Anyway, thank you so much Bartletts for letting me go crazy with the party, Tessa is going to be a beautiful bride!!
