Poor Brutus

It has been a while since I have been on here, I have really had nothing of interest to anyone that has happened. To get to the "Poor Brutus". Vicky's dog got attacked by a hawk at their new home in Temecula. Vicky was getting ready to go somewhere and couldn't find Brutus and Sophie led her to him. After a hawk apparently tried to take off with him, he managed to get away and found his way to his crate in the house. He was tore up pretty good. He is on the mend, but it is going to be a process. I guess Brutus and Sophie look too much like small rabbits!! I have not had much going on, it has been complete dullsville since the wedding. Tyler and Shelley got back safe and sound from Costa Rica, they LOVED it there. Then yesterday afternoon, Shelley got tagged on the freeway, she didn't get injured, but is stiff and achy and the car is probably going to be totaled. They will be going to Lake Havasu for a few days if she is up to it. Erik and Jamie will be meeting them there this weekend. Alex, Jamie and Aiden are going to Las Vegas for a mini family vacation. The Gold Nugget has a shark tank inside the pool, sounds awesome and CREEPY. So, if anyone has anything planned, keep me in mind!!!! After the daycare goes home, I am bored shitless.

It's Over!!!

This last Saturday was Tyler and Shelley's wedding and it was beautiful!! Tyler was so handsome and Shelley was a beautiful bride. The ceremony itself was so wonderful and the reception was amazing. Everything seemed to go off without a hitch and everybody had a great time. My good friend OPEN BAR was there. Alex and Erik were in the wedding and they were so good looking in their tuxedos. Alex was the best man and he gave an awesome speech, very well thought out. I wasn't asked to say anything this time. Jamie, Jamie and Aiden sat at our table, so it was a win - win for me. Aiden was a dancing machine, sooooo cute. He slept until 10 the next morning. I am not really looking forward to seeing the video, I got on the dance floor and dancing queen I am not!! I was so happy to see everybody who came and enjoyed myself so much. There are the usual stories about some people being over-served, but that's ok. I am just glad "he" didn't get hurt falling down a couple of times as "his" daughters were trying to steer him to our car. We ALMOST had a couple of wedding crashers, but Jamie had seen the 2 girls following her and Alex earlier and when they came in and sat down, she started over their way. As soon as the girls spotted Jamie, they took off. Tyler and Shelley are in Costa Rica now (thanks Kim and Tom) and while I was typing this I got a text message that they are there safely. So, now it is back to my boring life. At least I have Rick's birthday party, on August 15th to plan.

Remember this name!!

We got to listen to our nephew Travis Bengard sing and WOW!!!! It was from an attachment that Kim sent me. If he doesn't make it to the top, there is something wrong. He missed out on the American Idol try-outs, got there too late. I hope you are able to click on this attachment so that you can hear what we heard. This is in a garage, not a studio. Amazing voice. Crazy Lov...mp3 (2.4 MB) If you can't get this, email me at sccermom1@hotmail.com and I will forward it to you, if I haven't already.

Countdown

Geez, 6 more days until the wedding of Tyler and Shelley. Where has the time gone?? I am so happy for him to begin this chapter in his life, but I hate not having anyone here. Yesterday, Tyler, Alex, Erik , some cousins and friends went out on a half day deep sea fishing trip. What a great idea! I am sure there were quite a few beverages consumed on the boat and elsewhere later. Today they are all playing golf, nice time for them. While the boys were celebrating the end of Tyler's single life, we went to Vicky and Greg's new house in Temecula. WOW WOW WOW To say it is an amazing house is not doing it justice. It is a "fixer upper" and when it is done it will equal any house you will see in a magazine or in a movie. Vicky has added so many new state of the art stuff. I lost track of the number of rooms in this place. There is a complete living room, fireplaces and all, at each end of the massive kitchen. From the front of the house there is a complete view of the valley that can be seen from every room in the front of the house and the balconies. I told Vicky if I had that view I would be out there all the time. The pool has a wide "staircase" going down to it. There is a lot of work in progress and when it is done it will be unbelievable. They are on 2 1/2 acres and need a golf cart to go get the mail. It brought a tear to my eye when I saw Vicky, in the middle of all the splendor of the decor, had a sewing table set up facing the TV in one of the living rooms. My Girl!!!!

Happy 4th

Well, today is the 4th of July. We are going over to Jerry's house. He has a full on view of the fireworks show from somewhere and we are going to bbq there. I am REALLY worried about Payton. After I went to bed I could hear the boom, boom, boom and I looked out my bedroom window and I could see aerial fireworks and Payton was going crazy. Hopefully the fact that she can come in the house will help and she will just go hide somewhere and not fly over the fence looking for me. Last night was great!!! Erik, Jamie, Alex, Jamie, Aiden, Gary and Shira joined the rest of the usual suspects at Felipe's. I was so happy. We have 2 weeks to the day before Tyler's wedding. He called me last night to tell me that they are doing the table seating arrangements, I was hoping that I would be able to help with that, but I guess not. I got my dress, very plain and I will be able to wear it again anywhere. Well, I am going to go and make a couple of desserts that I have never made before. This is the good thing about family gatherings, I have testers!!!
