She's Here!!!!!

Last night at 9:03 PM, Anna Mae Acorn came into this world. According to her Aunt Kris, she is the spitting image of her mom Drea. She is 7 lb. 6 oz. and 20 inches long. I talked to Daddy Brad this morning at 10 and Drea was in the shower!!!! His baby girl was in the bassinet beside him. They are VERY HAPPY. Welcome # 21 grandchild to Fritzi Honey, God Bless Her Soul.

Me Again

Now that I have 2 minutes to myself, I can tell you about Saturday. We went to a wedding. Vicky's son Brock got married to Kaleigh. She was absolutely the most excited bride
I have ever seen. She was literally jumping up and down while the minister was doing the ceremony. They got married on the beach in Dana Point. The weather was perfect, even a little too hot for my taste. They had butterflies to be released after they were introduced, but half of them were dead, so sad. The reception was nice, I got to see a lot of people that
I haven't seen in a while. The food was very good, unusual for most receptions. Erik suffered a lot because he had hurt his shoulder on Thanksgiving day playing football. EVERYONE who came up to him grabbed or hit that shoulder, poor guy. Maybe next year Erik will be the timekeeper for the annual game. Well, that is all of my interesting life.

Mystery Woman

Remember how I needed to get my mom and dad's marriage certificate so she could get a photo ID?? Well, I got it and now the fun begins. Robin says that she still can't get one and if you want to know why, call me. It is hilarious. Let's just leave it at we still don't know her very well. It would take up way too much space to get it all in. We had a very nice weekend and hope you all did too. Today I am making turkey enchiladas, what a surprise. I have to go because Payton has decided that because I am busy she needs to get busy too. Hope to see you all soon!!!!!

Finally Over

After so many false alarms, Plaza is NO more. The new owners had the nerve to take out OUR back room and put in a bar. We were planning on moving to Tony's anyway. Last Friday we were there for the first time, and will continue to make that our Friday haunt. The only complaint is that it is too bright, now we have to look decent, I for one felt safer under the muted light of Plaza. I have, and I am sure it will be said by the "others", that we are going to Plaza or Guada, too many years of the same name. But, it is Tony's. I am trying to figure out what I am going to do with Tyker's dog on Saturday. We have an all day affair that will run into the night. We have found out that even the drugs don't last long enough to keep her in the yard until nighttime. I have checked with Club Mutt and they want $40 to keep her overnight Saturday. I am not sure about that. I hate to freak her out like that. I am hoping that Tyler can get his girlfrined to come to the house and "doggie sit". Corey did it for me last week and he said he wants to keep doing it, but he will be gone on Satruday. DAMN. Easy money for him and he gets to play WII. Well, I have to go and take care of lunch for the kiddies.

No Title

I couldn't think of anything clever for the title so there it is. It is Saturday morning and I just came in from throwing tennis balls in the backyard for Payton, it was either that or have her bark at me while I was trying to watch the Tivo of Heroes, so much for having time to myslef at 6AM. My kitchen is partially done, the tile is down. The next project will be the wood flooring. I wish Rick would hire someone to do it so that it doesn't take 2 weeks. He has the ability, but not the time. Demo is not the problem, it is the act of finishing that is not happening. Tonight I get to see Alex play soccer, I can't wait because Aiden and Jamie might be there to. I wish they lived closer. This Thursday is Thanksgiving and on Wednesday I am going to cook a turkey, some taters, and a couple of other things for my mom. She can't go to my brother Steve's house because she can't gt a photo ID. It is amazing, because she doesn't have a current drivers license, I have to get a copy of her marriage certificate to get any kind of government photo ID. Birth certificate, social security card, no problem, just not anything from the DMV. Thanks 9-11. Good luck getting the certificate, she can't remember when she got married. I have sent away to the clerks office in Las Vegas to start a search, so now I just have to pay for each month they have to search. It is so maddening because the phone number they give to call will not allow you to talk to a human. So, it is a 2 week wait for each search, what a pain. If only she would have kept important papers in 1 spot. Well, I better go and try to work on a baby blanket for a shower on December 1. See ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yea! It's Friday

I feel red today. It has been a decent week. I have been able to use my kitchen, there are no fires and it isn't 90* outside. Tyler is on vacation, so he has been bonding with his dog. She is really going to freak when he goes back to work. Alex played in a game last Sunday and there is a picture of him defending David Beckham. We didn't get to see the game, which is crushing to me as a mom, but there will be other games. I never get tired of watching Alex play. I hope that the construction in the kitchen area is done so I can decorate for Christmas without worrying about cement dust on everything. Aiden is going to have a blast this year, I can't wait. For anyone who knows Russ Frear, there is bad news about his brother Randy. After radiation and chemo, Randy's tongue and throat cancer is at stage 4, not good. Russ is getting info from Oasis of Hope Clinic in Mexico. Pray for Randy's success in beating this. Well, I have to go and work on some stuff, see you all later.

Halloween Night

Well, last night was pretty good. It started out crummy, but thank goodness for my GREAT neighbors. I gave the dog, per instructions from the vet, 50 mg of Benadryl to calm her and keep her from jumping the fence and go freaky with all the kids and costumes. We weren't going to be home. We no sooner got to the 71 freeway and 1 of the neighbors called me to tell me that Payton was out and running. Sam finally corraled her and put her in Eddie's yard. The benadryl NEVER took effect, Payton played with Duchess until we got home at 9. We went to our nephew's house, Tyler T. and Brooke, to see Aiden and Caleb for Halloween. There was a little party going on for the little ones. The house was full. They were all so adorable. We weren't the only grandparents there, Tom and Kim were there . As always, it is so good to visit with them. Christianne was also there, she is so darn cute. The "group" went and followed the little guys trick-or-treating. We looked like stalking paparazzi, cameras and flashes every step they took. Ryan joined us as we were on the route. He REALLY looks good, I was so glad to see him so healthy. He truly looked and sounded happy for the first time in a long time. Keep up the good work Ryan, it shows. When we got back to the house, Rick got a call from Tyler. Our boy that is trusted with a gun apparently can't carve a pumpkin without stabbing himself. He is home for a few days with stitches in his calf. It will be a long time before he lives this down. Well, I gotta run, ha ha me run, right.
