Sorry

Lot's to say, not enough time. I promise a big update this weekend. MWAH

What's That......

...in her head you ask?

Oh go ahead, click and make it bigger and you can count them for yourself! 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 STAPLES! Yep that's right, I said it, staples.

So, what happened?
That is exactly what I asked when I saw her head!

Yesterday our neighbor Heather watched Ambria and decided to take both her and her daughter swimming at the local pool. Well, at some point Ambria decided to do a flip in the water, and hit her head on the side of the pool cutting it open (it was quite the gash about 2 inches long).

After she hit her head she said it hurt but she soon forgot about it and kept swimming for another couple of hours. Later, at Heather's house, she reached back to touch it and saw it was bleeding at which point she freaked out! Heather washed her up and had her put some ice on it until I got home. Once I looked at it I knew it needed stitches.

So we spent the night at Instacare getting staples. Joy. Although they did put a numbing gel on her head she still felt the staples go in and cried pretty hard. I felt so bad for her. The process made me very nacious and I had to sit in the office for a minute to compose myself before I left. UGH. Ambria's dad came down to see her at the doctor and took her to icecream after.

The worst part about this whole ordeal is that in two days we leave for North Carolina where we have a gorgeous 6 bedroom beach house with our own private pool! Not to mention we are right ON THE BEACH. Ambria can't soak her head for 10 days until the staples are removed which will really limit what she can do on our trip. What a bummer. I am just glad she is ok. She is a tough little girl.

Rush City Rodeo

We took a drive down to Cas and Dave's and went to the Rush City Rodeo! It was awesome. Kayden and Ambria had a good time. Cas was sick and didn't make it out, but Dave still came. Here are some pics.

A Night Out

Nick and I had a night out alone with no kids on June 27th. This night was awesome because our good friend Simon who stopped DJing 3 years ago decided to come back and play again. It was a blast! It's nice to get out sometimes and just dance and enjoy yourself!

HOTTIE ALERT!

This is Simon aka "Sektor 7"

Dave, Cas and Me

In the works!

Getting crazy with it!

Crushed

I am crushed. I am still getting over the shock of it all really. I just can't believe it. For those of you who know me from childhood, know that Michael Jackson, was, and still is- my hero in so many ways. My heart is broken.

My phone rang off the hook the day Michael died. It was like everyone called me first thing when they found out because they knew it would be hard on me. I am just so incredibly bummed out. Couldn't he have had the chance to do at least 1 London concert to remind the world why everyone fell in love with him in the first place? This was his chance, to prove to the world how incredibly talented he always has been.

Yet he has spent the last 15 years hiding in the shadows because people have painted him out to be this horrible monster. I don't know, but I think I may go a little cooky if the world turned their back on me after being loved by so many for so long.
I just can't believe he would harm someone. Not after all he did for the world. It just doesn't make sense to me and I never believed it.

What I'm still scratching my head over is how odd it is to me that the world is celebrating him now. You know. What about all the other years they made his life a living hell, but now they celebrate him when he isn't here to see how much support he really had? This whole thing just doesn't sit right with me. I am just so bothered by it all.

Mostly I am so bummed that I never got my chance to see him perform. It was my dream from when I was a little girl. I took so much flack for it growing up! People would tease me big time for liking him, but I always stood my ground and was proud! He was just way too cool. :(

Butter Knife

Ok this was too stinken cute not to blog about.

On Saturday Nick was fixing something for Kayden and asked Ambria if she would please get him a butter knife. She agreed and headed for the kitchen. As the minutes passed we started wondering what was taking her so long.

Nick called down the hall to her and asked "Ambria did you forget about my butter knife?" Ambria replies "No daddy, I'm coming hold on."

As she rounded the corner into the bedroom we burst out into laughter! She couldn't figure out what was so funny. In her hand she held a butter knife that she had so carefully dipped into the tub of butter in the fridge!

Looking confused she asks What daddy, didn't you asked me for a buttered knife?". We just smiled.
