No matter what kind of drama, or assholes try to fuck with our lives. We have each other. I am so very thankful for that.

I woke up the other morning and this was the first email in my inbox:

I'm a successful man. Everything i worked for in my life lead to you.

i can't wait to see u again.

I love him so very much.

Dan and I filmed our friend Andreas at our place singing and playing this song. IN order to get him onto you tube.... check it out and pass it on if you like. :)

Heat wave! Holy crap.... the whole global warming thing is starting to freak me out more than it did before. It's never been this hot here! The last two days have been meltingly warm. We've been in the high 30's which is HOT for here. I usually would complain and be miserable but for some miracle I have managed to survive. The pool makes a world of difference.

I came home on my lunch yesterday and swam around to cool down! We don't have AC in the office at work and I swear it was at least 40 degrees in there the last two days! After work, Britt and I had sandwiches for dinner and swam around in the pool making whirl pools and banging into one another and laughing our heads off. I think our neighbors think we're crazy. We were BACK in the pool at 9:30 and stayed in until almost 10:00. It kept me cool until bedtime at 11:00... at which point I stood in the shower under COLD running water so my feet would cool down and stop throbbing. Then laid in bed with a WET towel over me. Yikes.

I am home alone with Britt this week. We get the boys on Friday night for the weekend until Monday evening. Britt leaves Sunday for her trip, and Dan is home Monday night. I am OFF work all next week. So effin' excited. Cannot wait!!!!!!!


Hope you are all having a wonderful summer thus far...

Brittney won first place in the Figure 8 race this weekend! She won a trophy too!

Her little NEMO car that took first place. :) 


Proud little Brother Jake & our winner!


The breathtaking sunset on the way home. :)


Mom and I went down with Jake and had a great night. It ended earlier than usual but was so exciting to see her WIN! YAY Britt! Not too bad for a 13 year old driving a standard!

Holy thunder and lightning!! It kept Britt and I up passed 1:00 AM. SOOO tired today. Brittney caught some lightning on video though. Pretty neat. So shocked that my two boys snored right through it. The house was shaking!! Gotta love beautiful west coast weather!

Amanda, Brittney, Summer and I went to Vancouver for a Fall Out Boy concert. Metro station, Hey Monday, and All Time Low played as well. It was awesome!! Best trip in a long time. It was so much fun hanging out with just the girls and getting to see a wicked show, live.

<3 More later.. I am about to head out to lunch.

Happy Easter to all, too by the way!

Last ER.............*sobs*

My new favorite song... totally stuck in my head!

My Mom wrote this email to myself, my two Sisters and our old Nanny, Penny.. It actually brought tears to my eyes. :)

Hi all,
I just had to share this little story about Griffen. Stacey had asked me if I could pick Griffen up at CRRS, and keep him until she got off work. She had picked him up from school, and Brittney was going to a basketball game after school.

I told Griffen that we would go over to Dollarama, so that he could pick out something, seeing as how he had so generously let Jacob have the little stuffed dog that Eva had given to Griffen for his birthday.

We went in and started looking. Well, there really isn't much to choose from that isn't crapy, but he naturally settled on a gun, with hand cuffs etc. He actually asked how many things he could get and I said a couple. So picked out two and that way he could play with Jacob, I suppose.

I wanted to look around for a couple of things so he tagged along with me, during which time he exclaimed that "Grandma you are the best Grandma". I said "oh that's nice, but your other Grandma is nice too". He said, "yea but she yells at Jacob and I when we turn around and around on the chair". I assume a swivle rocking chair. Oh well, far be it from me to talk him out of his ideas.

As usual, Griffen talks non stop, so it is really a good idea to just spend some one on one time with him.

We got to the car and he said "Grandma, when you get old and live in Yuculta, I will come and see you everyday". I said, "oh, that would be wonderful, that would make me so happy". I said, "maybe you could even take me shopping at the Dollar store sometimes". He said "yea, and I could give you a hundred dollars". Trying to keep a straight face I said "wow, I'm some lucky to have you as a Grandson".

I didn't know he even knew about Yuculta. Too funny. I said to him "I wonder where you will live in you are an adult?, hope it's not too far away from Yuculta".

Anyway, I just had to tell you this little story.

Cheers
Doris
