Mommy:What did you do with auntie jill today?

Grace: "saw puppies, I petted them and they lickted my face!"

Mommy: what did you do with Nana today?

Grace: "went to kizone (kid zone) and went down the slide"

Mommy: what else?

Grace: play wit da kitchen (play kitchen) and made a hotdog!

Every morning I wake up to "MOMMY!!!!! MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY" until I get her out of bed. Then we snuggle and watch disney for about an hour and get up. Each morning she asks me "mommy...dada workin?" and I saw yes he is working. "aww.. come home soon?" 

did you know that Auntie Jill actually means "Zoo and McDonalds"? At least that's what Grace thinks. 

did you know Nana means "go to see goats"? thats how grace translates it.

Gabba Says

"Gabba Says No Pushing!"

Grace says this with a very stern look on her face and her hands out as if to say stop. It's her new thing, she says it when no one is pushing her.

Grace's Dress

Auntie Jill came over tonight with her bridesmaids dress and tried it on, and she looked gorgeous! Grace told her it was pretty dress and we asked grace if she wanted to put her pretty dress on (flower girl dress). She actually said YES. This was surprising to me since the last time I asked her I ended up wrestling her to the ground, she screamed, cried, and kicked me. finally got it on and she threw herself on the floor screaming "Don't Like It!" That lasted about 20 minutes. 

She was running around for about 20 minuted with it on tonight, spinning around, making s spin around, dancing in it. It was so cute and SUCH A RELIEF!!!!!!

Jobby Job

So.... As many of you know I work at the Comcast Center now for Delaware North Companies. And I really love it. Such a change it atmosphere, I work outside in a trailer with 4 other people rather than my previous 5 years in a cubicle wanting to stick a pen in my foot to escape! Although I have made some of my bestest friends at work (Lisa Amy Peter Sue Stacey etc...). 

So, my goal is to be next years "back stage catering manager" The job is just as it sounds, you get the Artists Ryders, set up the dressing rooms, go food shopping, work closely with the head chef (Ozzie has a plain baked potato before every show, Stevie Nicks has her dressing covered in tapestry etc...) and work crazy strange hours such as 5am-5am. However, you only work a few days a week. I would absolutely LOVE this if given the opportunity! 

So in my discussion with my boss today AKA the GM. we spoke about what I want to do next year, during off season etc... And I told her that I am really interested in Back Stage. She was so excited! She said she was glad I told her and that now she has some thinking to do! She set me up to work backstage on Saturday for the S.N. double O. P snoop doggy dog! She said this way I can see what its all about and let her know if I am still really interested! 

WISH ME LUCK!!!!!

It's ALMOST official

Chris and I received our Marriage License today! We had to drive to Newport in order to get it. So, we made a day of it, we met with the cake place, dropped off some stuff with the florist, met with the regatta on last minute worries, had dinner on Thames street, did some shopping... All in All...awesome day!

Grace's Pick

Sunday morning I was woken up by Grace and Chris. Grace ran in the room and said "Mommy surprise!" and I was told that I needed to go downstairs. Chris and Grace made me chocolate chip pancakes (my fav.) and set up breakfast in our sunroom! We had a nice family meal and we asked Grace what she wanted to do that day. She looked sideways and said "Um, go to da zoo? See the animals?!" So we got dressed and went to Southwicks Zoo. We had never been there before, it is so nice! We had heard great things about it. Grace was able to pet goats, feed deer, see monkeys, ride on a pony, and go on a ride. This place is insane! Here's the pics. they are a bit out of order! whoops!

Fourth of July

We went to Jelly Stone park in Wareham for the fourth of July with Michele, Tony, and Shannon. It was so fun! When Mike and I were kids we would go camping at Jelly Stone in NH every Fourth of July, so now Chris and I are going to do the same with our family. Michele Brought James and her man Johnny and Shannon brought her little man Andrew. Enjoy the highlights!
