Waiting up for Dad


Joe has been traveling a lot lately for work. He has been to Florida three times already this year! California twice and countless times up north to our company. This has always been going on in our lives, and the kids love to stay up late to wait for dad to come back home. This photo was taken on one of those occasions just a few weeks ago. Joe's flight was delayed due to weather and the kids fell asleep in the theater waiting up for him. We ended up leaving them there for the night. They loved it!

Jacob's reading


Jacob came home today so excited to share the new book he checked out from the school library. As we sat down to read it, I always read the books to him, he surprised me and said he could read this book all by himself! Sure enough he did it. Every word. Here he is ready to read it again just before bed tonight. Can't you just see the excitement?

Early Valentine's Celebration




My girlfriend and I decided to surprise our husbands with an early valentine's day gift, sense my husband was going to be in Florida on the 14!. We took them to Las Vegas to see the broadway hit "The Producers", starring Tony Danza. Not only was the show fantastic, we were able to go back stage and take a quick tour of the actors areas and meet some of the cast, including Tony. I was thrilled to say the least, but held in my excitement so I wouldn't embarrass myself or my friends. I shook his hand and let him go on his way. One of the most exciting moments of my life! Meeting a celebrity is so much fun. I don't even know why! Its not like they are better then any of us. Its a mystery I guess.
We stayed at "Planet Hollywood", right next to " The Paris Resort", where the show was playing. It was a super fun night and a great surprise for our husbands.

Hair Issues


As most of you know, I went thru a crazy one week stunt with extensions that I hated! They broke off a ton of my own hair and left me with a mess to fix. My poor hair, as you can see in the photos has had a lot of cuts. Because of the breakage I experienced I kept cutting my hair to fix the health of it. I went from long to major short in a two week period. My husband actually asked me if I was suffering with some internal problems and did I need to chat about them! The sad part is, I have been growing it out now for 5 months and as you can see from photo 6 it is growing very slow!

So for all of you having "bad hair days" just refer back to all my pictures here!

I will take any sympathy you can send my way to make me feel better! LOL

More white stuff!


What a night! Our friends came over to watch the big game , but our plans got changed thanks to mother nature. I could not believe that the rain turned into snow last night. The snow was falling in big white flakes and all the kids were screaming that it was sticking! Our satellite dish went out during the second song of the half time show and never turned back on. I did hear that my Patriots lost at the last minute, there goes the perfect record! I still love them and know the next season will be just as great, as long as my superstar quarterback stays with us. Oh well. Our food was yummy and we had fun still. THis morning it is a bunch of ice. Jacob thinks all our plants are dead and it is very cold! Crazy weather we are having.
