Budding Photographer


 This past week when Aiden wasn't stripping down and running around naked he was playing with our digital camera. He got some very cute pictures and even managed to change the setting to record a video.
He took this silly picture of G!





And one of himself, too!


I didn't know he was recording this video - So please excuse the bedhead!

Party It Up

This weekend was something special. I went out 2 nights in a row! Can you believe it?!

It started on Friday - When a few friends and I met up at Lava Ultra Lounge. An old friend of mine offered us bottle service to celebrate my birthday, and how could I say no?! The DJ was great, the look and set up of the bar was great, and the service was impeccable. We had a great time - I just wish it would have been busier. Nobody was on the dance floor, so that made it hard to get out there. In fact, I didn't dance at all  :o(  Would I go back? HELL YES! But maybe on a Saturday night instead.

p.s - If you have never tried Ciroc Vodka, you should. It is really good. I don't drink vodka......ever. But this was a light, no after-burn, smooth experience.  Thank you so much Elliott & Lava Ultra Lounge. I will be back!

Saturday was mostly normal. Getting up with the kids, playing around the house, teaching my fitness class. But Saturday night was completely out of our realm. The kids went to stay at LoLo & PopPop's house! This is the very 1st time G has ever stayed over night......And the last time A did was 2 years ago! So this was a treat for us. Phil and I went to dinner at 7M Grill. The martini I had was mouthwatering, the food was commendable, but the service was less than impressive. Would I eat there again? Yes. Would I go out of my way to get there? No. We then met up with a few people for drinks, then went home.

The best thing about having the kids stay with Gma & Gpa was being able to wake up on my own terms. They had such a good time, but we both received colossal hugs upon our arrival.

The weekend was so nice, and almost like a mini vacation. But it is Monday Morning and I have already been to the dermatologist for my forth round of treatment on my foot. Nothing screams "The Fun Is OVERRRRRRRRR" like anti-cancer drugs being pumped into the bottom your foot.

Short & Sweet

Last night we are all playing on the living room floor - cars, trains, trucks. Graham (who doesn't have the best balance, and likes to run like a wild man) was Going, Going, Gone and face planted into our brown chair. Of course it was followed by screaming and crying. Phil & I both held our hands out (he was 5 steps away from us) and so did Aiden! He was copying what we were doing and then started saying what we were as well. So cute, he was telling his brother "Come Here Baby" and what do you know.......Graham bypassed mom and dad and ran to Aiden for a reassuring hug. Well, more like he tackled Aiden. But it was so sweet, and with tears welling up in my eyes I couldn't have pictured a better way to end the day.
