I went to the Michael Jackons memorial!

It's true! I went! It all started when my friend, Reagan, asked all of her friends to enter their email addresses into the lottery for the memorial tickets. I did and thought, that would it would be fun if I won. After 1.6 million people also entered their names, I was pretty sure that there was no chance of me getting picked. But sure enough, Sunday afternoon I check my email and I had scored tickets! I ran in an told Andrew, who thought it was a scam! I took Reagan because she was the reason that I won the tickets and she's also an MJ superfan. I flew in Monday night, It was so wonderful to spend the evening before with my sweet, handsome, amazing brothers-in-law, Spencer and David! Thanks for having us you guys! Then the next morning we were out the door by 7am to make the memorial. That part was crazy! Helicopters and media were everywhere! Lots of lines and hoards of people. The memorial itself was really neat. Entertaining and classy. People were bawling all around me. I didn't. My favorites were Stevie Wonder and Usher. They rocked it! It was cool to be there for that moment in history and to hear personal stories of a man that was so bigger than life. In my opinion, Michael Jackson was the greatest entertainer of all time and I'm sad that his life and creativity were cut short. Mostly I'm sad for his kids. I know what it's like to lose a parent and I can only image how much harder it must be to lose your only parent so young. His daughter was the only one in the memorial who brought me to tears. A big, huge thanks so those of you who watched my kids so that I could go!

Mommy Confessions #2

I just felt like it was time for another one.(:

1. My kids bite their nails! Both of them! They are one and three and they already have a bad habit! I have no idea where they got the idea from, but Parker started it all and of course Makenna has to do everything Parker does.

2. I have never made jello. I'm a little afraid to. I cook a lot, but for some reason, jello really intimidates me.

3. I let Parker watch a Saturday morning cartoon that is rated TVY7. I think that means you are supposed to be seven to watch it, but it's about dinosaurs. What am I going to do, it's his favorite show? It's also one of those dumb japanese animae shows where the words don't really match the mouth movements and their mouth pretty much take over their face anytime they open it. I can (and do) regualarly sing the theme song from the show (at Parker's request of course).

4. Makenna put her tootbrush in the dogs mouth. I did buy her a new one, but apparently I forgot to throw the old one away because I found her chewing on it yesterday.

5. You pretty much can't see the bottome of the backseat of my car. If we ever got stranded in the car we could live for weeks on the snack food scattered all over the backseat. Not days, weeks. Then when that ran out, we could just shake out the stuff in the carseats and make it a few more days. It's gross. I'm going in with the shopvac tomorrow.
