A couple of things.....

Another Alyssa story......

I had put her in the tub and was going to let her play a little. Brett was going in there to watch her as I was hanging up clothes. Brett and I passed each other in the hallway. As I get to my room I hear "Alyssa, what did you do to your knee?" I was thinking oh another big bruise. Then Brett says "Lisa, get in here." I slowly made my way into the bathroom thinking that Brett was probably over reacting. There was blood coming from her legs. Apparently, little Miss Sunshine decided that she wanted to be silky smooth and SHAVE. She had attempted to shave her legs. A razor had dropped from the tub and she had found it behind the shower curtain. I was thinking that she would start hollering any minute, but she never cried. I think she was more worried about getting in trouble. I just said "I bet you won't do that again."
Trent is learning the value of money. And he loves to earn it. He cleans his room, Alyssa's room the play room, helps clean up the yard and takes the trash to the street. His eyes light up when I hand him his earnings. He is to save half and do whatever with the other half. Yesterday his teacher at summer camp stopped me to tell me what they will be doing these last few weeks that they are there. She said that they would be having a pizza party and are asking each child to contribute $4.00 towards the party. Sounds great to me. As we were leaving the school he said "Mom, I don't want to go to the party." "Why, I asked." He replied "I ain't paying $4.00 to go to no pizza party!!" I just started laughing. He thought that we wold make him pay his way into the pizza party. If he only new what a great deal that is....

My grandma bought Alyssa a shirt that was so cute. It says..... Friends Are Forever.... Boy Are WHATEVER. She says this all of the time now. And so Valley Girlish. Like Whatever.....

So did anyone catch the "Singing Bee" last night. I had fun playing along all by myself. I wish they would come cast in Atlanta. They couldn't have gotten a better host. Joey Fatone was great But tonight on Fox is one with Wayne Brady. I love that guy. He is always on his toes, especially on "Whose Line Is It Anyway?"
An Alyssa Story.....
During the summer Trent has ball practice on Tuesday nights. Last Tuesday the parents decided to cook out for the 4th. We had a great time. We even let Alyssa put on Trent's helmet, hit some off of the Tee and run around the bases. She had so much fun. After we ate we let the kids play in the sprinkler. Alyssa was the only sibling there and the only girl. After a while I walked back to the car to get a towel for the kids to dry off with. As I was walking back I heard the boys giggling and shrieking with laughter. I looked over at the sprinklers and my little darling was butt-naked running through the water. She was having a ball. She had no cares in the world! Brett was so busy talking to the coach he hadn't been paying attention. Trent was mortified.

Code Orange

Who says Alyssa's not a little terrorist. This proves my theory......

Just kidding.............................................

I cleaned out some cabinets and found Brett's mask and when I turned around I was greeted with this.... Even though this may be disturbing to some people, in the moment it was really, really funny.

Keith Urban Rocks!!


I decided to take Brett's Aunt to see Keith Urban in concert.So last Saturday we headed up to Atlanta. She is from south Georgia and has a major "thing" for Nicole Kidman's husband. Kinda of like my relationship with Klesko )~ haha. I don't think she had ever been to Phillips Arena and has never walked the streets of downtown Atlanta. I couldn't have gotten better seats!!! He is clearly the best i have seen in person. From beginning to end the entire show was great. Here are some high lights.......
