Fun Bits for the Week...4.4.11

Fun Bits for the week of 4.4.11...

* Lily (dog) started her new meds this week and seems to be doing fine.  The funny thing is the meds come in the form of treats and she's hesitant to eat them.  Before we had to stuff her pills in a treat and half the time she would spit them out!
* I lost 6 pounds but quickly gained half of it back with my trip to Wisconsin.  Hopefully this weather can get me back in gear!  I'm supposed to be in a bathing suit in 2 weeks (indoor waterpark).  Yikes!!!!!
* Kami told Eric today that her boyfriend Decon "broke up with her because he has a different girlfriend"...she's 4!  I can't wait to see Decon's Mom on Wednesday to see what happened! ;)
* Brooke said we were eating at Max & Sunday's tonight ...it was a combination of Max & Ermas and Ruby Tuesdays. ;)
* I'm looking forward to a women's retreat with our church this weekend.  I could really use some spiritual guidance these days.
* Eric is filling out paperwork for a second set of school pictures for Leah...I don't understand why they take them twice a year now?  Yes, I know, to make more money....  Seems crazy to me.  They have digital backgrounds to choose from and I choose none of them!
* I really enjoyed my trip to Wisconsin this past weekend. The Scrapbook Store in Greenfield was beautiful...thank you Beth and Angie!  My students were very friendly and well behaved ;).   Love seeing Stephanie from Bella and I visited her offices.  Jen and I had a good time too! We just giggle and it makes me feel young again!  Here are a couple of pics...

Jen is absolutely giddy about being published for the first time - her first try at applying!!!!!  Congrats Jen!  Way to go!

One side of the classroom...there's Stephanie in the middle...notice she and Morgan are talking.  I had to keep a close eye on them to make sure they were following directions! ;)

Cupcakes by Beth!  Yummy!  She even made the cute sugar pics on top out of Jillibean paper!

Some Jillibean goodness.  They had a cute banner and pinwheels hanging up for me. 

What I don't have a picture of is of the Thrift store that's right next door to the Scrapbook Store.  They had hundreds (maybe even thousands) of 2nd had Barbies hanging up on peg boards in the entrance on on the walls - oh my, it was quite creepy!

That's it for me!  Have a great week!

Fun Bits for the Week of 3.28.11

Fun stuff going on at the Yeg house ...the week of 3.28.11

* Brooke yelling "who dranked out of my Jesus cup"...one of her older sister's VBS cups...made me giggle.
* Leah finally started soccer - she's been ready but the weather has not been cooperating.
* Lily (dog) and hubby have been fighting over snoring time at night - they go back and forth...dog...hubby...dog...hubby.
* Brooke and Kami making their babysitter laugh until she cried with their singing of Katy Perry's song "Firework".
* Saturday morning I found myself watching Yo Gabba Gabba (which I can't stand) but only because Jack Black was on the episode and I couldn't believe he would wear that orange suit!
* Thoroughly enjoyed game night with the neighbors and friends.  Nice to have some non-Jillibean fun!
* Happy Birthday Uncle Jeff - 4.4.11
* This is how kids get dressed in our house without supervision...

Have a great week!

CHA - Los Angeles Style!

Come on Down!!!!  We arrived in California around noon on Wednesday, 26th.  We headed straight to the Price Is Right studios to try and get into the 4:00 taping.  Kimber had registered us online and we were one of the last ones to be admitted into the taping.  Sorry to say that none of us got called up on stage but it sure was fun watching!  Drew Carrey took Bob Barker's place a couple of years ago and he's pretty cool.  It's fun being in the studio and seeing things from the other side!

Some interesting food we ate at a modern Mexican place.  It was good but expensive - as in everything else in LA!

Ahhh, Hollywood! Kimber and I were "stuck" in LA an extra day because of the weather so we made the most of it.  Actually, Kimber knew for awhile that she was going to be stuck, I didn't learn until I went to the airport that my flights were cancelled.  She was very happy at my misfortune. ;) 

The infamous Hollywood sign.  This seems like dejavue for me...Jen and I did the same tour when we were in LA for the "Ellen" show.

Someone famous lives in this house...can't remember who though.

Ah yes, someone famous lives here too...I guess I should have taken notes. ;)

Cupcakes from Crumbs Bakery - see I can remember the name of the bakery!!!  They were delish!

Steven Speilberg's home...I did remember this one!  You can't tell from the pic but he has the most amazing views from this house! 

Chateau Marmont Hotel!  All I know is I read about celebrities partying here in my People mag.

The "Pot House" man's car...he owns a store here on Rodeo Drive.  His house is called the "Pot House" because he loves terracotta pots and has hundreds of them around his house.

The Sunset Strip - Kimber and I should have hung around here!

Thanks for stopping by!

They're Bathroom Books, Mom...

We're potty training Miss B.  As most of you know, she has a mind of her own.  We've been trying since the beginning of the summer but haven't pushed it.  When we got the tuition bill for Preschool, I realized we only have a couple of weeks get this done!  So, we started hitting it hard last week.  We went straight to Dora undies and it hasn't been so good.  I spent the other night searching the internet for tips about potty training.  Leah and Kami were done in a week...not Brooke!  Soooo, with the help of microwave timer, Nick Jr's Dora potty chart, lots of suckers and books...we're on our way! 

By the way...according to Brooke, those are her bathroom books. ;)

Have a good one!

One tooth, two teeth, no teeth...

All I want for my birthday is my two front teeth. Ahhh, another visit from the tooth fairy!

Have a great day!
