I have most certainly been saddened and moved by the death of celebrities but for some reason...this one is different. Maybe its because I feel like I grew up hearing his voice in our house. Mrs. Doubtfire shouting "helloooooooo!!" with his cake covered face, Genie (aladdin) saying "the exits are here here here here here here here"...Hook, ( Read more... )

We had a really great 4th of July yesterday. Spent the morning with Shonna and her boys at our house and then the 6 of us headed over to Josh and April's house to meet up with the rest of the crew for bbq and fireworks. All the kids swam in the pool and Teagan continuously ate everything under the sun, and literally started throwing up in her ( Read more... )

Sorry I have been slacking on the updates, I have done much better in the past on doing them regularly but I think I will be continuing with the sporadic updates because its just.....easier ( Read more... )

It's been crazy busy life as usual around here. Richard sold his car last week (yes, this is our vicious cycle that is Richard's inability to keep a car for more than a year...the subaru made it about 5 months in our family. so long subie!) so we have been on a hunt to find a replacement...this means we have been getting by with 1 vehicle and with ( Read more... )

Teagan start swimming lessons this week and so far, she is doing so great. The last time she took lessons when she was 3, they were parent/toddler classes so we had to be in the pool with her. Now that she is older (and a better listener) she is able to take the regular preschool swim classes. It's fun being able to watch from the side, tho still a ( Read more... )

I had the most TERRIFYING ordeal yesterday on the freeway coming home from a photoshoot. I was driving on Hwy 512 and was directly behind a little truck with a truck canopy on it. All of a sudden I see the canopy start to lift up in the wind and before I knew it, it was all the way up in the air flying right towards my car...it went OVER my roof ( Read more... )

WHYYYY me. My ankle is STILL swollen and still hurts. the plus is that I can walk on it and after an xray on Thursday, it is DEFINITELY not broken. But I was hoping that after a week and a half the swelling and the pain would be completely done. But nope...still hurts, still swollen, still bruised. I've been doing my best to keep off of it, keep ( Read more... )

Thursday when I went to pick Teagan up from preschool, her and I were walking back to my car and when I stepped of the curb I somehow stepped on the side of my foot (I swear I didn't just learn how to walk) and completely rolled my ankle. I have done this so many times before and I have never hurt myself doing it but this time was a different ( Read more... )

I'm sure I've said this before in the past, but when I say the past year has been the hardest year yet, I'm not exaggerating. In the early part of 2013, I was faced with the fear of losing my mom to cancer. She was diagnosed in the later part of 2012 and we learned the gravity of her illness quickly. We were later told that it was unlikely that ( Read more... )

Christmas this year was great. we opened presents here in the morning first....teagan was excited to see that not only had santa been here, but that the reindeer were fed the carrots and spinache we left for them as well....she seemed more excited about the fact that there were reindeer here and that they ate the food that SHE left for them.
