Look What Bret Did...

I said, "Hon, could you give George a haircut?"

This is what I got. Bret said he could only find

the #1 and the #6 for his razor.

So he went with #1.

I am currently going to the store for #'s 2-5.At least now I can see the bumps on his head. (see above picture)

He falls and/or hits his head at least 3 times a day.

He has also learned to say "Hep Me" instead of whining when he needs help.

I will try to get a sound bite because it is so stinking cute.

Bellagio....like Formaggio

So last night I took my girls down to the strip for a

Friday night of crazy Las Vegas fun.

Actually we just went to the Bellagio to see the atrium and the water show. I was trying to explain to them that Vegas is a very famous town. And most places don't have a 10 mile stretch of road filled with elaborate themed hotels. They never really got it. The Atrium was of course GORGEOUS!

Bella does not enjoy having her "picture made."

These two enjoy it a little too much :)

But the water show, which is my favorite thing, was

SPECTACULAR!

Even though there were a gazillion people.

***And BONUS!!***

There were a couple guys dressed like Batman and the Joker.

These were the best shots I could get.

They were more popular than the smut handlers!!

Complete with full make up and persona!

Scared the crap out of Bella.

I really wanted to get a picture with them,

but Bella burst into tears so no picture.

But all in all, a good night.

Lizzy says, "Awwwwww, Yeah!"

IT'S VEGAS BABY!

Baby's Got Baby Back

*Separated at birth?

Tonite my hubby channeled his inner Guy Fieri and cooked me some AMAZING ribs!

They were sticky and sweet and fell right off the bone.

I will tell you how he did it because it was super easy and you can impress all your friends.

p.s. Guy Fieri went to UNLV

Preheat oven to 200 degrees.

Put a couple racks of ribs into an oven safe pan. Bret used a 9 x 13 glass dish.

Pour a cup or two of water into the bottom of the pan.

Cover the ribs with brown sugar then cover the pan with tin foil.

Cook for about 5 hours. Your house will smell like Lucille's BBQ restaurant for at least 3 days.

Remove from oven, smother with BBQ sauce. (We love Sweet Baby Rays Honey BBQ)

Throw on the grill for a few minutes each side so sauce and sugar turns into sticky goodness.

So effortless! And if you use paper plates, clean up is a SNAP! Unless you have kids, then you must bathe them.

Use for your next event.

You're welcome.

Utensils!

These are my step daughters with their cousin. Lizzy, Emily, and Emily. And Bella, who does not actually participate in the jump but looks on longlingly as little sisters often do.

And yes, I did say two Emilys. That is an interesting story for another time.

They are always looking for new ways to jump into the pool.

With this jump, each one announces their apparatus: "KNIFE! FORK! SPOON! UTENSILS!"

SPLASH!!

They are a crack up.

Additions to my already super cool jive...

So these are the things I want to incorporate into my daily nomenclature... 1. "Loo" in lieu of bathroom. 2. Brilliant!! **Can you tell I just saw Harry Potter? 3. You Ponzi-Schemer!! (use only if you are really, really mad at someone) That's all I have right now. I guess I didn't really need to make a list.
