I started watching it when I was on maternity leave and I couldn't get enough. I have all the DVDs and I've read Kate's book. Now.... I'm debating whether or not to watch tonight's episode. Kate has obviously gone Hollywood and Jon appears to resent his family. The show just isn't what it used to be. Like when Emeril shows up at your house to cook with you, you are no longer just your average American family. Not to mention all the product placement which when I watch with Brandon we have to point out to each other by quoting Wayne's world "Little. Yellow. Different." Then there's Jon totally cheating on his wife or "making poor choices" whatever he's doing. He's not even really ON the show anymore. Like he needed a break so he didn't help plan the kids' birthday party. Anyways I feel sorry for those kids. It makes me sad what that family has become.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488915289140110062.post-50583583828295874272009-05-31T20:28:00.000-07:002009-05-31T20:37:15.626-07:00Got MILK?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9BzxUBXPvuGwsSvkNJxMRQ54JtU_O69GWW-lRqmOPFsWeP42tFAXSfp8ygL2xbyLdejYQCyGUB30SjNJdl5MOh95JowXkxHRgzcebtxKmt-d2sZao_sFc19Y0Uu5aLVVkqqDeieHSqg/s1600-h/milk.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5342198093145312834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 124px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 93px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC9BzxUBXPvuGwsSvkNJxMRQ54JtU_O69GWW-lRqmOPFsWeP42tFAXSfp8ygL2xbyLdejYQCyGUB30SjNJdl5MOh95JowXkxHRgzcebtxKmt-d2sZao_sFc19Y0Uu5aLVVkqqDeieHSqg/s400/milk.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>Last night we watched MILK.

The weather is already hot, hot, hot! My mom flew in on wednesday and stayed for the weekend. we went to the shark reef at mandalay bay, let's just say if it wasn't for the locals discount I wouldn't go. On Monday we took gracie to mission hills park. They have a huge splash pad... and yes I was the only mommy that made her child wear her tevas with her bathing suit!!! I don't trust the ground there :) On another note, gracie is growing so quickly. Weighing in at 30lbs, her pediatrician says shes the average size of a 3 year old. She knows tons of animal sounds, including owl and sheep and loves to drink out of a straw. She also enjoys throwing things at you and saying "uh-oh".

So i haven't updated the blog in soooo long but I felt this was entirely blog worthy!!! This may be the only thing I like about living in Vegas.... the celebrity sitings. I ran into Michael's crafts tonight to get a button for my shoe. Brandon and Gracie were waiting in the car so I was in a hurry. I turn around and see this guy wearing a huge clock around his neck and its Flava Flave!!! At first I was like no way... Michael's in Henderson??? Why??? So I ran out to the car and I'm like " I think I just saw Flava Flave in Michael's." So Brandon gets Gracie and comes inside. We turn the corner and he's dancing in the isle. He was so everything I thought he would be... The funny thing is that he was going totally unnoticed, then again we were in a craft store.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488915289140110062.post-33572071821675809972009-01-20T19:15:00.002-08:002009-01-20T19:27:44.919-08:00Once a stoner... always a stoner..So the day after christmas i went to the emergency for severe side pain and it turns out I have a 4mm kidney stone... which i guess is huge in terms of it being a stone in your organs. The pain was unbearable, but because we were at the emergency room i had to wait it out for an hour before they called me in. Anyways it still hasn't come out yet and because i haven't been at my job for 90 days yet (feb 11) it's going to have to stay in there until i get my insurance. I keep picturing it doing major damage... like scraping at my insides. Anyways i guess my body just makes stones because i also had gallstones which i had major surgery for in 2006.

I wore my <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Uggs</span> to work and changed into heels when I got here. Yesterday I was wearing heels in the snow and it sucked. We got5 inches of snow last night. Up the hill from us they got 8 inches. The news said it <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hadn't</span> snowed like this for almost 30 years!! More branches on our tree broke, schools are closed today.. can you believe it, a snow day in <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">Las</span> Vegas!?! Last night was so peaceful... it was almost creepy. We built a snow man in the front yard... a naked snowman... our neighbors' had clothes and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">Brandon</span> was jealous. But I think we're addicted to snow now... I love it!! Everyone was in a childlike good mood yesterday, but I guess that's because it's so out of the norm here, if there were snow everyday I don't think It would have been as exciting.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488915289140110062.post-26549834994500559202008-12-17T17:01:00.001-08:002008-12-18T08:32:46.983-08:00Snowing in Las Vegas!!!!It's snowing in vegas tonight... not just a little snow, it's sticking to the ground!!!! At lunch time today there were snow flurries, so when I came home Brandon drove me back to work in case it got worse... and I'm glad he did. I have never in my life seen snow like this... probably because I've lived in the bay area and vegas. Both are not places known for snow. I came home a little early to play in it because all I was doing at work was standing outside taking pictures with my co-workers anyways!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilEhZ2USkz6rN88uW9qZXp52ETMkNg5Ksk7txjlZl_PPBpaJCHOiWPdaicILi5STTg-CYgYLXkdF6asVbNoX3oLVh7jYz-eGN78UJ-W1LgoAeJVGFcZIgJrONOQFouEZYqYqeAAZ7AmZs/s1600-h/113_0924.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280931898240833970" style="DISPLAY: block;

Our move was so quick and unexpected that my parents didn't have time to make travel arrangements. We will definitely be seeing them at christmas. Our day was really nice and quiet. My new job asked me to come in for any 4 hours I wanted. Which was fine because I live literally 2 minutes from work ( if i catch the green light). I guess they needed someone from social services there in case any holiday drama popped off, which it did but I was gone by then :P<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXzEQbPLGmidHzh4hUfn4DzqceC_GnJldYy6vs_Kv23cstO7j3PPHLQWonP0qruobrEBLE6C-mb2M-sVgug5oFIRpwCPHI0mJFexwo1u-HtdZiKc6UrbE7x6Z-F1PhXgmxpkqXWpKE-iQ/s1600-h/113_0871.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5274677592457791330" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXzEQbPLGmidHzh4hUfn4DzqceC_GnJldYy6vs_Kv23cstO7j3PPHLQWonP0qruobrEBLE6C-mb2M-sVgug5oFIRpwCPHI0mJFexwo1u-HtdZiKc6UrbE7x6Z-F1PhXgmxpkqXWpKE-iQ/s320/113_0871.jpg" border="0" /></a> Brandon cooked dinner this year... with gracie's help of course!

Everything in vegas that you would want to take your kids to is either in a casino or attached to a casino. Anyways.... the cool thing about this aquarium is that they have these chicks that get in the water every 15minutes who are dressed like mermaids. They swim around all mermaid like and put on a little show.

It's for a social worker at a 244 bed skilled nursing facility. I just can't pass it up, it's literally less than a mile from our house there so I kind of have that "it's meant to be" feeling about it. It's like my last job but a lot better because I won't be the only licensed social worker and I don't have to drive 80 miles one way to be there. The hours are better, 7-3:30pm. Since we still have our dawn crossing house and there's no possible way of selling it for any kind of profit right now, and the rental competition is strong we made the decision to move back. It just doesn't make any sense to pay the mortgage on a house that's just sitting empty.</div><br /><div></div><br /><div>With that being said, when the market turns around and we sell our house... because we are eventually going to out grow it ;)...

On one hand, I love being home with Gracie on the other hand, it just seems like it's a much better fit for me to go to work. Plus my hours are a good fit for me to rush home and have time with her before bed, oh and I can come home for lunch too!</div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div><br /><div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488915289140110062.post-55992730462895213892008-11-06T13:46:00.000-08:002008-11-11T11:43:06.231-08:00halloween weekend & gracie's birthday<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mdDIK3PCbsyGLPVnycjbWkzVxQrNT2uoa7LTQlidwxIKX1c0tPnH7ca5sjjPKlnLbYulLnGJ7dhhLv55octovjq4zJs7onfc7FB1VQaeGClhDM89SUz9_TR_RxKtAXmeiFwoFk6-BnU/s1600-h/113_0815.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265666892120894610" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8mdDIK3PCbsyGLPVnycjbWkzVxQrNT2uoa7LTQlidwxIKX1c0tPnH7ca5sjjPKlnLbYulLnGJ7dhhLv55octovjq4zJs7onfc7FB1VQaeGClhDM89SUz9_TR_RxKtAXmeiFwoFk6-BnU/s320/113_0815.JPG" border="0" /></a> We woke up the morning of halloween in our halloween pajamas ready for all the fun we were about to have.<br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9kpJuMOaePw5QNun6bQhdLQs33FlemJtiJVd3naQYvx1py9Y8asyJ8cc8K2GZk_9uve9aCr-nTSaBwAusPl2CRo9qtFfdNKk5yhsZw66Kx6TV5cSRg8ypjTQebtya56Zt6mOV58HwDbE/s1600-h/113_0782.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265666888614440706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9kpJuMOaePw5QNun6bQhdLQs33FlemJtiJVd3naQYvx1py9Y8asyJ8cc8K2GZk_9uve9aCr-nTSaBwAusPl2CRo9qtFfdNKk5yhsZw66Kx6TV5cSRg8ypjTQebtya56Zt6mOV58HwDbE/s320/113_0782.JPG" border="0" /></a> After a long morning of grocery shopping for gracie's birthday party that was scheduled for the following afternoon, we went to grammy's work to show off our costume!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnYKlMvoj-P-4y_x_ATdr_bkUiyrH8rIbdqw_4jTi95GZvjSbD0kDgPwSFRjV5S2M9lNWxf4eEo0jSZjwOiZg1cLDDhE0eUipbXQYuKAI0o1OpOHeLKjR7RsQ1QiYINd1aDdhMAa5DaVQ/s1600-h/113_0812.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265666880913028866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnYKlMvoj-P-4y_x_ATdr_bkUiyrH8rIbdqw_4jTi95GZvjSbD0kDgPwSFRjV5S2M9lNWxf4eEo0jSZjwOiZg1cLDDhE0eUipbXQYuKAI0o1OpOHeLKjR7RsQ1QiYINd1aDdhMAa5DaVQ/s320/113_0812.JPG" border="0" /></a> After everyone got home we carved pumpkins and ate pizza for dinner.

It's an indoor place with lots of tubes and balls and nets to climb on. You have to be 1 to go there so we thought it would be a good way to celebrate... kind of like buying smokes on your 18th birthday. LOL!!! We started her off in the toddler area but she seemed kind of bored , so we tried out the "big kid" area and she loved it!!! Her climbing amazed both of us, she would crawl behind me in the tunnels, laughing and screaming with excitement. She must have really got a taste of adventure yesterday because this morning she climbed up onto the back of the couch using brandon as a ladder!

There is this commercial on TV urging you to vote yes on prop 8 because if you don't gay marriage will be taught in schools and then it showed a children's book entitled "The King & King". Umm what??? Is that the best they can come up with?? When are you ever taught anything about marriage in school? </div><br /><div></div><div>Then my mom told me today there was a huge group of people standing out on deer valley road with signs reading "Yes on 8 protect marriage" or something.</div><br /><div></div><div>Then to top it off some old man called ( yes I could tell he was old from the sound of his voice) the house and left a message urging us to vote yes on prop 8 and I was so upset that I wasn't here to talk to him.</div><br /><div></div><div>Here's the thing. When I first moved to vegas, I didn't have ANY straight friends. My gay best friend stood on my side at my wedding in spite of comments that were made. I find it horrible that these people are not legally allowed to be united with the people they love. Aside from that, as a mother, I have to consider that I may have a gay child and want them to have the same civil liberties that the rest of Americans have. I don't get it, don't parents think about that when they are supporting prop 8??? </div><br /><div></div><div>I can't stand it anymore. It doesn't make any sense to me and I'm tired of everyone trying to push their beliefs of on other people. Everyone just needs to police their own morals instead of policing those of others. Someone sent this to me on myspace. I love it.</div><div> </div><div>10 Reasons Why Gay Marriage is Wrong**read carefully**</div><div> </div><div>1) Being gay is not natural. </div><div> </div><div>And real Americans always reject unnatural things like eyeglasses, polyester, and air conditioning, tattoos, piercings and silicon breasts...</div><div> </div><div>2) Gay marriage will encourage people to be gay.</div><div> </div><div>In the same way that hanging around tall people will make you tall.</div><div> </div><div>3) Legalizing gay marriage will open the door to all kinds of crazy behavior.</div><div> </div><div>People may even wish to marry their pets because a dog has legal standing and can sign a marriage contract. Lamps are next.</div><div> </div><div>4) Straight marriage has been around a long time and hasn't changed at all.</div><div> </div><div>Hence why women are still property, blacks still can't marry whites, and divorce is still illegal.</div><div> </div><div>5) Straight marriage will be less meaningful if gay marriage were allowed.</div><div> </div><div>And we can't let the sanctity of Britney Spears' 55-hour just-for-fun marriage be destroyed</div><div> </div><div>6) Straight marriages are valid because they produce children.</div><div> </div><div>So therefore, gay couples, infertile couples, and old people shouldn't be allowed to marry because our population isn't out of control, our orphanages aren't full yet, and the world needs more children.</div><div> </div><div>7) Obviously gay parents will raise gay child​ren.</div><div> </div><div>Since, of course, straight parents only raise straight children.</div><div> </div><div>8) Gay marriage is not supported by religion.</div><div> </div><div>In a theocracy like ours, the values of one religion are imposed on the entire country. That's why we have only one religion in America. (Did I miss the lesson where Jesus says He hates gays?)</div><div> </div><div>9) Children can never succeed without a male and a female role model at home.</div><div> </div><div>Which is exactly why we as a society expressly forbid single parents to raise children.</div><div> </div><div>10) Gay marriage will change the foundation of society; we could never adapt to new social norms.</div><div> </div><div>Just like we haven't adapted to cars, the service-sector economy, or longer life spans.</div><div> </div><div>**Love makes a marriage**</div><div>Vote NO on Prop 8...Our country needs a little action anyway.</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488915289140110062.post-73799408396860593522008-10-24T10:58:00.000-07:002008-10-24T11:07:05.354-07:00hard to believe...<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTa7RqAH3qp9Li7NG9UxJBQPa3Yurd82HytSl571DBm2ZwRzZiCzuN-im6Tw0c6xW3SCmAFoMmH8495nHzSHmAimuHgZD4Fv_H3a8tEXq7NWcPyQdziteJoEUBuvLSeu1p_yWzAwLyak/s1600-h/l_513f600bf77d4e113e4da304cb281738.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260783127165282226" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuTa7RqAH3qp9Li7NG9UxJBQPa3Yurd82HytSl571DBm2ZwRzZiCzuN-im6Tw0c6xW3SCmAFoMmH8495nHzSHmAimuHgZD4Fv_H3a8tEXq7NWcPyQdziteJoEUBuvLSeu1p_yWzAwLyak/s400/l_513f600bf77d4e113e4da304cb281738.jpg" border="0" /></a> It's hard to believe that<br /><div>we're already gearing up for my favorite time of year, Halloween!!!

It is my favorite time of year. I love Halloween so much I got married a week before it and had a baby less than a week after it (not in the same year LOL). Last Halloween I was gigantic pregnant and on bed rest. It was the first year ever in my life I didn't carve a pumpkin. However, I was able to lay on the couch and watch brandon grudgingly carve the pumpkin for me!Gracelyn has a handful of festive Halloween clothing that she's been wearing lately. This one in particular is my favorite! She's cruising furniture live a champ now, and stands for a few seconds without holding onto anything.

In the beginning I was a huge Hillary supporter. I love me some Hillary Clinton!!! However, unfortunately her time is over as Barack Obama is the Democratic candidate. I was so discouraged by this I almost turned my vote over to Mccain, but then two things happened. First, he chose that horrible women as his running mate, who stands for everything I hate. Second, I pulled my head out and remembered I am a prius driving, anti-fur wearing, gay marriage supporting, right to choosin', organic baby feeding, member of the green party since 1998. I have never voted republican and this is not the election to start. So Obama it is. And I think I'm starting to love Michelle Obama, she seems pretty hip. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4488915289140110062.post-38242326811618890622008-09-17T13:09:00.000-07:002008-09-17T13:38:43.026-07:00dylan.... you ARE the father!!!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXcPDi1nwPURbuQCcMQyz5pTjaLqkHXGA9CXH1GiAUId96LcNaK0AuDejoDhRUAUH9BNHi7jtvs7tPjyURW46YJJMT39opG1ocdWC_FVO_UAEsJJVVgAzBTRZV9M-fsHB47w7_XeWNez0/s1600-h/mauryweb.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247087375034576178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhXcPDi1nwPURbuQCcMQyz5pTjaLqkHXGA9CXH1GiAUId96LcNaK0AuDejoDhRUAUH9BNHi7jtvs7tPjyURW46YJJMT39opG1ocdWC_FVO_UAEsJJVVgAzBTRZV9M-fsHB47w7_XeWNez0/s320/mauryweb.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div>On 90210 they revealed Kelly's baby daddy, but not before they kept us on the edge of our seats by constantly referring to him as "he" the entire episode. Brenda finally spilled the beans while chastizing Kelly for still being in love with "him". Jesus Brenda, are you still jealous??? Brandon (knight) thought for sure the baby's daddy would be Brandon (walsh) thinking that Dylan would be "a little too on the nose" as he puts it. Brandon (knight) also figured since he didn't see Luke Perry doing any interviews pertaining to the new show and he <em>had</em> seen Jason Priestly talking about it that it would be Brandon (walsh). Yes, my husband is that into the new 90210. I really feel like I've come full circle. Back at my parents house with my junior high boyfriend watching 90210. We were dorks for watching it then, and we're dorks for watching it now!</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1
