Tball

So Austin started Tball like 2 weeks or so ago and I totally forgot to post all these pics!! Austin even told me to take pictures so I could put them on my blog and I totally failed!! So, they have had one game and Austin is doing so much better this season. I think a growing a year really helped him. He loves it. Here are some pics. I am sure there will be many more to come. Oh, when Austin was playing first base he TOTALLY caught the ball in midair like a pro! He was totally shocked. It was cute.

Yeah, so this kid was totally not looking when Austin threw the ball to him.

The team.

Then, of course, Travis had to have some fun of his own. He is the Assistant Coach by the way.

Old and Gray

You like this new picture of me? No I am not kidding, this really is me. I am officially an 80 yr old person. Prepare yourselves for a most bitter and depressing venting session, courtesy of Moi.

So remember the whole year and a half after I had Zoe I had some back pain, then it got even worse, and I was going to the chiropractor everyday for 3 months until I quit because my chiro guy was psycho?? And remember how I couldn't walk, sit, stand, live, sleep, or pick my nose without enduring CONSTANT irritating pain? Then, remember how the pain miraculously went away for about a year, and I was able to start living again?? Well, I am 80 again. Last wednedsay I just woke up with the same dang pain, and it just keeps getting worse! I have been going to the chiropracter every dang day for a freaking week, spending too much money trying to fix it, gotten a very expensive massage, taken tons of crap that are supposed to help me, and it is just getting worse! I am back to constant pain, all day, all night, awake or asleep. I look like an old lady. Can't walk, stand, sit, lay, or live. Forget the freaking gym membership we just got, forget fun volleyball every Friday night, forget fun at DISNEYLAND!!!!!!!! Forget freaking getting pregnant next month!!! Can you see the problem here?? I am 25 and my body is 80!!! My body wants me to live like a freaking old lady!!!! This is so not cool, and I curse my back all day long. I am constantly grouchy, irritated, on edge, and not fun... and don't even THINK about asking "how is that any different from Amy on a normal day?"

So, this is my excuse for lack of blog posts.

Countdown to Cali with Travis!!

So remember that awesome present Travis gave me for christmas?? The Cali trip?? Well...... it is next week!! Yay!

My Favorite Things Austin Said In The Last 2 Weeks

"Mom, you look pregnant."

"I am pretending I am in a "torMado", and I feel "Bizzy"!

"Mom, are boogers dairy??" ( This is funny because he only asks if something is dairy because he wants to eat it.)

"Can I watch the Transformers Movie where Sam Awhiwicky (Whitwicky) buys his first car?"

Me: "Austin, you are doing such a great job not eating Dairy. I am proud of you!"

Austin: (very seriously) "Well, last time I was at your Mom's house, I had Cheetos. And that had Dairy in it. I didn't know Cheetos would have Dairy in it."

Me: Laughing hysterically.

Austin: " Mom, I'm seriously."

I almost died laughing after all these comments from him. Guess you had to be there.

To Quote Zoe....

This is what Zoe calls both of these movies and it makes me crack up! She knows it too, that is why she will say it just to make me laugh. But she is so serious. She thinks that this is what they are called. And we have always said that the way she talks reminds us of "Boo" from Monsters Inc, you know the little girl?? And she does talk just like her, so imagine her saying that "shakadooey" word like "Boo"would. It is so cute!

Austin and his Imagination

Austin has developed quite an imagination since Christmas. Since Transformers and Star Wars came into his life, that is ALL HE DOES ALL DAY. And to play those, you have to have an imagination. It is so fun to watch him and listen to him pretend he is an Autobot fighting some Decepticons. And yes, he uses those words. The last 2 weeks he has been obsessed with his blocks and building them into transformers. Here is a picture of the Autobots he built. He was SOOOO proud! One of them was Optimus Prime, the other was BumbleBee and the other one was Ratchett. And it is so funny because to HIM they actually look like Transformers!

Tu-Tu Cute

So Zoe LOVES this Tu-Tu that Kristal made her awhile back. So I thought I would take pics of her. She loves to get dressed up, and looking like a princess. It is so much easier to take pics of her when she thinks she looks pretty. I can't wait till she is 3 so I can put her in Dance classes! She will love it! And I am sorry there are so many pics, but I can't ever just pink one or two. So I always end up putting a million on! Oh well.

The Cast

So they have cast the entire Cullen Family for Twilight the movie. Do you like??? Tell me.

I am just SOOO excited to see this!

I Love ENCHANTED!

Here is one of my favorite clips from this movie. Watch it!!! This is the BEST MOVIE!!!

See?

K, watch this short videos of my boy singing on AMerican Idol. I love Jason Castro!!! He is so awesome!

My Little Model

I was just looking on the internet and found this. This is a magazine in Italy, and Austin is in it. This was his little modeling job he had a while back for Boon Inc. He is the one on the orange bag (it is kinda smallish). Anyway, here it is. There is also a link on the right side of the page where you can see his picture closer in Boon Inc.com, it has been there for awhile, but in case you never saw it, now you know. Cool huh???!!!

Update on my bad day

My ever curious and questioning cousin Jana reminded me that I did not provide you all with an update on the truck. Ok, so the dealership that ruined our truck is taking full responsibility and fixing everything. We had our insurance adjuster come out and look at it so that we had a second opinion on the damage, and they agreed with everything the dealership thought was wrong. SOOOOO, they are replacing the entire braking system, one of the rims, and I can't remember what else. Travis????? You should comment and help with this update, cuz me so dum bout carz.
Anyway, they put us in a brand new rental car, and are taking care of the insurance on it. So far so good.... stay tuned for more updates.

This month on the cover of Vogue magazine.....

My friend Shannon said she loved to get her pics taken..... so she let me practice on her!!!!!!! Good thing she is sooo photogenic. Oh, and Austin took the one of she and I- pretty good huh???

Austin and Zoe's friend Addison took a Hip Hop class, and taught my kids a trick or two. Check it out.

Don't send a lame eCard. Try JibJab Sendables!

Boston is Awesome

A couple weekends ago we babysat The Mulders kid's and it was so much fun! Boston here, loved our little dog Tink. He would sit outside the screen door and smash Tink up against the window to show her to us. It was HILARIOUS!!! Tink loved the attention, let me tell you. Tink has gone through a little rough patch in her short life!! She has had issues with her fur and poop, and now she has eye problems that probably won't go away. We have to put eye drops in her eyes twice a day and eye ointment in 4 times a day! That is a lot of work for a little dog. But she is cute! It was really funny to see her with a cone on her neck. It was bigger than she was!

Diesel

Here are some pictures of my cute little nephew. He is almost 4 months old now and is pretty much the cutest baby alive.

Happy Birthday!

Today is Jon Bon Jovi's birthday! He was born March 2, 1962, and is now 46 yrs old. Happy Birthday!

How to know when you are having a BAD DAY!!

How do you know when you are having a bad day???? When this happens....Yesterday, while I went shopping with my friend Shannon, I took the truck into Power Chevy right by the mall to get the oil changed and the tires rotated. I then picked it up at 4 when they were closing and started to drive home. I got to Power and Guadalupe, a mile from the dealership, and all of a sudden my truck falls to the ground and starts grinding on the road as I try to brake to a stop. Then I see my tire fly across the intersection! It went rolling all the way down Guadalupe while I sat holding up traffic on Power! I had no idea what happened. Then this old lady started chasing down my tire, and found most of the lugnuts for me even though there was traffic all over the intersection. It was really weird. She brought me my tire back somehow. Some other lady called the cops to come and help, and I called the service department that did my tires and they started freaking out! SOMEONE THERE DIDNT DO THEIR JOB RIGHT BECAUSE MY TIRE FLEW OFF MY CAR WHILE I WAS DRIVING!!! Now, my truck needs all kinds of work.

Then Power Chevy sent a tow truck for my truck, and took me back to the dealership to get me a rental. Well, the rental place closed before we got there. Then you know what happened? They guy driving me BACKED INTO A SIGN AND BROKE THE BACK WINDSHIELD OF THE COMPANY CAR!!!! There was glass falling EVERYWHERE!! Oh, and it was the guys first day by the way. Ha!

So, Power Chevy is sweating in their boots right now because they are liable for all this. I was in danger, my truck might be broken forever, and the drivers around me could have been seriously hurt if that tire hit them in that intersection. All I have to say is that is a good thing I didn't take the freeway like I always do, cuz this might have been an even worse story. So we are going to the dealership tomorrow at 9 to discuss what will happen to our truck. P.S. Does anyone know any good lawyers???

Here is my truck in the middle of the intersection.

Here is a look at the other side of my truck. The wheel is all bent to crap and it was MISSING A LUGNUT!!!

This is the guys company van that he busted while I was in it. And did I mention that it was his first day on the job???!!!

Here is our poor truck being towed.

This is the cop that was helping me. He was also making fun of me and my AWESOME liscence plate!

I am lucky that there were so many people there to help me, that I didnt take the freeway, and that the guy at the dealership was still there because they had just closed at 4. So I will keep you all updated about the truck tomorrow.
