we are off to see fred claus in 45 minutes.

update: we are back! the movie was awesome the movie going experience not so much. in front of heather sat the biggest guy i have ever seen, he took up 4 seats. he could have picked any of the other 4 but instead sat right in front of heather. on the side of me 3 teenagers were texting the entire time. a cellphone light when the room is dark is like a spot light. every 3 minutes all three of them had their damn phones out. damn, im old

this has been a busy week. it started off last saturday where we celebrated my 32nd birthday. i started drinking about 1 in the afternoon and was passed out about 11pm. lots of fun, thanks to everyone who came.

sunday was spent recovering.

monday, my actual birthday. joey was still a little sick so he stayed home from school we layed in bed most of the morning watching tv. about 4 we all left for downtown disney. i promised the kids that we could have my birthday dinner at the rain forest cafe. i thought if we went early enough we could have them save us a table for 10 at 6:30. i was surely mistaken. i got in line a 4:20 and by the time i got to the front i told host that i had a party of 10 and we would like a table at 6:30, he said unfortunetly i can't hold a table for you but if you want to eat at 6:30 you should come back at 6. i called all that were coming to tell them to be there by 6:30. will and christina backed out, will was too tired from the night before so it would just be 8 of us. Heather, the Kids, Kat, Shaun, my Mom and Me. we hung out at downtown disney for a bit and about 5:45 we walked back to the resturaunt. the line was HUGE, so i got in line. by the time i got to the front it was 6:15, no joke 30 minuted in line to ask for a table, it was the same guy that told me to come back at 6. thank God, i proceed to tell him that i am back but with a party of 8 instead of 10. he said, im sorry sir but its going to be 2 hours. i couldn't believe it i pleaded my case told him that he said to come back when i did to get a table for 6:30. he said if you have everyone in your party here right now i can sit you otherwise you are out of luck. and of course, i was out of luck. we went to a couple different places but everywhere at downtown disney was a minimum wait of 1.5 hours. we finally redirected everyone back to wood ranch after all the frustration we finally sat down and had a good dinner.

tuesday, vicky had a test so she went to school as the rest of us sleep in a bit and then start packing for vegas. this year, we are spending thanksgiving with heather's mom. heather's sisters family naomi, mike and their two kids were also coming out. after vicky took her test i went and picked her up as heather and the boys finished packing. we finally left about 12:45... traffic was HORRIBLE. we finally arrived around 7 and were exhuasted. (for my birthday my mom rented us a house in vegas so we had a place to bring the dog and a place to go back to so we weren't all so crowded at heather's moms) after we settled in cameron and i went searching for a food place. we found jack in the box. we all ate and went to bed.

wednesday, we slept in a bit laid around the house and then headed over to heather's mom. after visiting we all decided to go to excalibur to eat at the buffet. holly cow, buffet's are expensive when you have 5 people in your family. $89 for food that is somewhat ok and i know the kids will only eat one plate and then be full. oh well. joey actually loved the buffet which surprised the hell out of me. he must have went back 4 or 5 times!

thursday, thanksgiving! we went back to heather's moms about 11:45 where the house was already smelling of turkey goodness. while the girls cooked the kids, mike and i played soccer and with the dogs outside. we all finally sat down about 6 and had a fabulous dinner. we were all thankful that we were finally eating! after dinner and desert we all sat around talking, watching tv, napping. we finally said our goodbyes about 10 and went home.

friday, we got up did some last minute cleaning and then headed back to california. all in all it was pretty fun, very stressfull at times (traveling with three kids will do that to you).

saturday, just lounging around today with no plans. i took off monday as well so hopefully the next 2 days are relaxing with nothing to do. if the kids can calm down a bit we might take them to the movies.

Where oh where has my little time gone? Today my little mini me, the 2nd of my 3 (no longer) babies, turned 10. Double digits. The past 10 years with him have been so many things, amazing and humbling and full of excitement and frustration but through it all I am constantly awed at this boy who is the embodiment of me. He is so smart and quick witted and sarcastic and totally loving, and I am proud to be his mother. For the party, we took him and some friends in a limo to the block and downtown disney to hang out. In the words of one of his friends: "Pizza and soda in a limo?? Best party EVER!" Happy Birthday Bamma. I love you.

to my wife heather, 10 years ago, our wedding song:

I will never find another luva sweeta than you, Sweeta than you
And I will never find anutha luva more precious than you
More precious than you
Girl you are
Close to me you're like my mother
Close to me you're like my father
Close to me you're like my sister
Close to me you're like my brutha
You are the only one my everything and for you this song I sing

And all my life
I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life
I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too

I said you're all that I'm thinkin' of.....baby

Said, I promise to never fall in love with a stranger
You're all I'm thinkin' of, I praise the Lord above
For sending me your love, I cherish every hug
I really love you

And all my life, baby, baby, I've prayed for someone like you,
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you, baby
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me

You're all that I ever known
When you smile, on my face, all I see is a glow
You turned my life around
You picked me up when I was down
You're all that I ever known
When you smile on your face all I see is a glow
You picked me up when I was down
You're all that I ever known
When you smile on your face all I see is a glow
You picked me up when I was down
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes I pray that you do love me too

All my life
I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I've prayed for someone like you
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
