Update for family and friends keeping tabs on our little family here in California. I haven't updated the blog in quite some time, but wanted to get this post up for the out of staters in our lives.</div>

I went in on April 28th for my scheduled c-section. Everything was fine with me, and in theory, the baby. I got one last belly pic before I went in.</div>

My surgery went well, but Harper was unresponsive when she was born. I remember waiting for her cries, and never hearing them. I got to see her for a brief second before she was whisked away to the NICU, and I could tell something was very wrong. Thankfully, my surgery went well this time (I had complications last time when I was on the table--never a dull moment in the OR for the Jacobs family) and I sent Lance away to be with Harper. The doctor came back after a few hours, and told us some potentially bad news--her blood gas levels were showing high levels of co2, and low levels of oxygen. This can cause brain damage, and serious long term complications. I remember hearing the words, but not processing them. It began a scary game of wait and see, and I couldn't get into the NICU to see Harper myself. Lance would bring pictures back to show my our little girl.<br />
<br />
First picture I saw of her in the NICU. She was fully intubated, and given morphine. We opted for a therapy that puts them on a cooling blanket for 72 hours, lowering their body temp by 10 degrees. This is to slow down/reverse any damage that has, or would, occur. Kind of like when kids fall in cold water for extended periods of time but emerge okay after the fact. The morphine stopped her shivering, and made her as comfortable as possible. It's simply horrifying to see your baby like this, and not be able to hold them. She was a substantial weight, which definitely helped. She clocked in at nearly 9 lbs, which was amazing since I only gained 14 lbs this pregnancy. <br />

The next morning, I was able to be wheeled in to see Harper in the NICU. It was so comforting to be able to hold her little hand. Again, it's hard to see your baby like this and not be able to do anything. However, I knew she was in good hands in the NICU, and they were doing all they could. Each baby has a nurse assigned to their pod, and they keep a watchful eye on them 24/7. The nurses were all amazing and kind. Harper was in with all the preemie babies--she looked 2-3 times their size!<br />

Meanwhile, Beezie was living it up across town with Colin, enjoying a little one on one time with her bestie.<br />

As the 72 hours progressed, Harper was making great strides. All of her gas levels were back to normal, and her coloring was improving. All of her major organs were functioning, and she was finally taken off the respirator, so we could see her cute little mug.</div>

Pretty soon, more cords were removed, and we caught her a few times with her eyes open. She was dazed, but aware we were there.<br />
<br />

<br />
After 72 hours, they removed her from the cooling blanket, and started the gradual warm up process. She was so happy to be warm and snuggly--she looked 100% better as her temp improved. We were hopeful that she would have a solid outcome.<br />

At the end of the day, she was feisty enough to require the mitts of shame. She had tried to pull the electrodes off her head, and pull the tube out of her mouth. She was also moved from the preemie pod for being too loud, and disturbing the other babies. She gets it from her Mama--what can I say?<br />

<br />
The next morning was her MRI, and the outcome was the best possible news: excellent long term prognosis, no signs of damage or issues. She's 100% fine, and will have no longstanding effects from the incident. This is us right after we received the good news--and the first time we were able to hold her, nearly 6 days after she was born.<br />

We spent hours visiting her in the NICU, snuggling her, holding her, and feeding her. She was on the barfy side, which could have been a result of the mucus in her tummy from the lines into her stomach. In any case, she couldn't be released until she got the feeding down solid, and was gaining back some of the weight she initially lost in the NICU.<br />

She was still working on eating issues, and wouldn't be released on Sunday. We were dismayed, but hoped that we would have some good news by Monday.<br />

We went in on Monday morning to check on things, and they surprised us by releasing her! We had no clothes or blankets, so we had to borrow this heinous little onesie someone had left behind that said "My Mom doesn't want your advice." A little aggressive for a baby, but that's just me.<br />

Everything since coming home has been smooth sailing, and totally uneventful. She's healthy, a strong eater, and a fabulous sleeper. So far, she seems to be much more mellow than Beezie--even at this age, B seemed to be a silly little charmer. This one is content hanging back and watching things unfold. She LOVES Blakely, and definitely lights up and seems interested when she's in the mix. It will be interesting to see if her personality changes over time, or if I do indeed have a mellow kid on my hands.</div>

<br />We're eternally grateful for all of the love, prayers, and help that we received while Harper was in the NICU. I've said it a million times, but we felt the love, and it really helped us stay strong. Happy one month anniversary, Harper! We're so excited to have you here as a part of our family. </div>

May as well keep up the good work. 19 week ultrasound looks good, and confirms one more <s>future Blockhead </s>adorable baby girl on the way.<br />
<br />
On the plus side--I can keep the rug, bedding and curtains! Plus, unless this kid is a tiny waif or big fat chunker, most of the clothes taking up my entire closet space (Space Bags be damned!) should be usable.<br />
<br />
On the minus side, B insists we're having a baby brother, and tells everyone this factoid. She wants a little brother. Specifically, she has requested Ari Andersen be our baby brother. So, there's that.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to meet little lady #2. Sisters are the best of times, and the worst of times. I would know!<br />

November flew by this year. In fact, this whole pregnancy is flying by. When I was prego with B, it seemed to drag on and on. Not with this one. I finally started to feel better in November, so I made up for lost time and packed in adventures. It was great to be feeling good again.</div>

B is definitely her own girl. A princess she is NOT. Whenever people call her 'princess,' she looks at them like they're insane. I tell them to try pirate if they want her attention. It's no surprise she chose a Jake/Pirate theme for her 3rd birthday. She loves all things pirate--treasure, scallywags, ships, and drama with a one handed villain.</div>

We started off with a little celebration at school. We had taken a field trip to the local park that day, and got to bring sack lunches with snacks for the crowd. She loved that her celebration took place at the park instead of school.</div>

On her actual birthday, we started the day out right with a doughnut from Stan's. She requested one with "sparkles," so I obliged.</div>

She was SO excited for her party. I had been able to leverage the impending celebration for all sorts of things--pottytraining and/or behavior in general. She talked about it for months beforehand. The big day finally arrived!<br />

As you may know, October is my favorite month. It's spooky, creepy, and magical. I know this is probably blasphemous to say in relation to Christmas, but I love a creepy good time. Deep down, I'm a weirdo with creepy sensibilities. Here's what we got up to this year!</div>

Inger and I foolishly took B and Colin to a pumpkin patch to let them drive the Gators. My friend Alyssa made it look like a blast, so I thought she was on to something. It was the worst money ever spent. These two have NO driving/steering/turning skills whatsoever, and repeatedly ran into us and the hay bales.<br />

Busy baking what appears to be an angry leprechaun based on his/her facial features, and curl toed shoes. Surprise-we're not even Irish! But you get what you get, right?<br />
<br />
This bundle of joy will be gracing our family and cracker box house at the end of April, right around my birthday. Yeah, leprechaun thinks he/she is going to steal my birthday thunder by arriving on my special day. Nice try, baby. I have c-sections, and you will arrive when I say you arrive.<br />
<br />
We are so very thrilled. Not B, she's indifferent. She's insisting on a brother, usually baby Ari, who is now a solid one year old, and more importantly, already has a family of his own. Things are looking good so far. We find out the sex in 5-6 weeks. I'm certain it's a boy, because I've had my boy name picked out since I was 20, and I have a whole lotta nothin in the girl name category. It's not a real feeling, but more the result of laziness. Have I mentioned I'm tired these days? Like bone achingly tired and sick from about 3pm on every single day?<br />
<br />
I've also turned into a vegetarian with this pregnancy. I can't tolerate animal protein, but waffle fries and a chocolate shake are vegetarian, so I'm set. Thanks, CFA drive-through. You're helping a pregnant lady move along in this harsh world.<br />
<br />

Do you watch the Mindy Project? You totally should if you already don't. Trust me on this one.<br />
<br />
The best part? I'm 93% sure she reads my blog and lifts my best bits. In season one, she refers to friends in tiers. Are you kidding me? That's a Mostess original. I was shopping that biz around when she was in diapers.<br />
<br />
This season, someone refers to Ms Kaling as the Kool Aid man, breaking down walls and yelling "Oh Yeaaahhh!" Clearly, we know this is a reference to Farts Magee.<br />
<br />
So, Mindy--just ask me to come and write for your show. I'll bring Farts, and we can create hilarious characters with worldwide appeal. May I suggest a lady in her mid to late 30's who mildly stalks boybanders and has a creepy and tiny Halloween village, and an early 30's extroverted introverted Mathlete with a penchant for tater skins and roaming malls alone. You can pay us in candy and Diet Coke.<br />
<br />
Sounds like must see <span style="color: #0000ee;"><u>TV</u></span> to me.<br />
<br />
PS--totally flattered. You/Me are hilarious!<br />

I can drive around until the wee hours of the morning, listening to XM radio, and turn my new awesome car into a one woman karaoke machine.<br />
<br />
I can pick friends up, and road trip like nobody's business. This baby fits 8 (!) people in it, so hitting the road in search of endless adventures is a cinch.<br />

The best part? IT SLEEPS A QUEEN SIZE MATTRESS IN THE BACK. You know what that means, right? No more popped mattresses. No more windy nights camping. No more glare from the stupid moon. We'll be cuddled up cozy and snug on our mattress in a bug free zone with blackout windows. BAM.

Blakely started preschool in August. I was conflicted about doing a co-op, or a drop and run. I love the idea of being involved in her school, and working in her classroom, so I decided on a co-op. It's been great! I'm on the board, which has already been a lot of fun. We organized our first ever silent auction, and raised nearly $1300. Our school is a non-profit, so all of the money must be raised within the school community.</div>

Here's little lady--that's a true face of pride. No accidents, no hitting, and no fussing earned her a doughnut with 'sparkles.' Nice work, B! She had the same little backpack last year, and I asked her if she wanted a new one. She said she already had one--so she vetoed it. Thrifty gal she is.<br />

Well, it tried to ruin the whole summer, but it really only took out July and August. I was met with a bevvy of cries whenever it came time to use the potty. I'm still slightly traumatized by it all. Things are going well now, but it seriously tried my patience. And it limited where and when we could travel for fun. But little lady had to be done before preschool, so I had to be firm!</div>

We had a great summer, but I wasn't super sad to see it go. I hit every season super hard, and relish all of the fun things each season has to give. We partied, swam, scooted, traveled, ate, partied, and relaxed in style with our amazing friends and family. So long, summer. We had a blast!</div>

WHY? WHY? Why do I insist on going camping year after year, only to be sorely disappointed? What is wrong with me? Let's take a quick look at our fine history with camping.<br />
<br />
The year that I brought hot dogs instead of hobo dinners and it caused marital discord: <a href="http://themostess.blogspot.com/2008/09/camping-dobbie.html">http://themostess.blogspot.com/2008/09/camping-dobbie.html</a><br />

The year that we forgot the tent: <a href="http://themostess.blogspot.com/2008/08/camping.html">http://themostess.blogspot.com/2008/08/camping.html</a><br />
<br />
The year we had no poles and left at 1am after being hounded by foxes: <a href="http://themostess.blogspot.com/2010/07/im-not-meant-for-camping.html">http://themostess.blogspot.com/2010/07/im-not-meant-for-camping.html</a><br />
<br />
The year that Lance had a bad back and couldn't come with: <a href="http://themostess.blogspot.com/2012/09/summer-wrap-up.html">http://themostess.blogspot.com/2012/09/summer-wrap-up.html</a><br />
<br />
Let's just call this the year that our mattress deflated, hurt our backs, and caused us to pack up and head home at 4am.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
B laughed at us. Fools, fools I say! </div>

I kinda thought this year would be different. I had the tent with the built in poles. I checked the Coleman lantern to make sure the battery was good. I got ice for the cooler so we wouldn't die of botulism. I brought jackets, bug spray, my glasses, the portable potty....I had it all! I totally packed the car all by myself, and all Lancer had to do was come home and hop in the car.<br />
<br />
I even did cute Heidi braids for my great outdoor adventure. I figured I could sweet talk the foxes out of eating my smores with this cute little do.<br />

I created and packed up amazing hobo dinners. Hamburgers with carrots, onions, and potatoes just waiting to be cooked with the tasty juices coaxed out by the fire. Slam dunk!<br />

It was all fun and games until we retired to our tent and discovered 2 large holes in our mattress. We tried to patch them up with Scotch tape (me), and duct tape (Lance). Neither held. As the night wore on, I was trying desperately to fall asleep with a large boulder parked in my ribs. At 4 am, Lance and I called it, and packed up furiously. I wrote a note explaining our predicament, then we tore out of Camp Lehi, leaving behind a trail of dust and tears.</div>

But wait! We have found a solution for next year. I can't tell you what it is just yet, but I promise it will be mind blowing, and life changing. I just <i>know </i>that this will break our bad streak. Stay tuned.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
At the very least, we enjoyed a night under the stars with our good friends. They got to hear all about my eternal optimism, and how I always think things are going to be mind blowing and life changing. Just like that awesome sandwich maker I bought in 7th grade!</div>

Farts Magee is hitting the road, and hauling the reds to the, er, great state of Utah. I feel like a tribute is in order since she did such a fine job of roasting me on my birthday.<br />
<br />
I call her Farts Magee because I'm convinced this has to be her college nickname. Her roommates were Bird, Seabass, Bozo...and yet, she's never given up her nickname. Know why?? Cause it's Farts Magee. <br />
<br />
She's a fun, yet decidedly wet blanket. When I convinced her to go camping, while pregnant, I knew that she really, really, really really liked me.<br />
<br />
When you try to get her to break out of her shell/wet blanketness, she squeals "you knew what I was when you picked me up!"<br />
<br />
I feel strangely invested in her family. I want to know who Brooke is dating, what her mom is serving at Easter, and whether her brother has had his baby or not. <br />

I suspect the NSA flags and reads our texts for entertainment, and cry with laughter every single day.<br />
<br />
We started using hashtags as an obnoxious joke, and now we can't stop. #anotherwaytobefunny #wearehilarious #icantstopusinghashtags.<br />
<br />
Her worst nightmare is several going away parties that linger on for weeks and/or involve costumes, dancing, and prolonged small talk.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not her idea of a party, but she plays along for friends. </div>

<br />
Speaking of--she has...<i>interesting</i> dance moves. Plus, she likes to watch herself in full length mirrors when she dances. You would think this would be a deterrent for her, um. <i>moves</i>--but it's not! She soldiers on!<br />
<br />
She can always be counted on to bring a tasty dish. She's known for her 7 layer dip, but still toots her horn about these loaded tater skins she hawked at a Halloween party 2 years ago. I won't lie. Those were tasty tots.<br />

<br />
Before I even met her, I read her blog and thought I HAD to get to know the girl who was <i>almost</i> as funny as me.<br />
<br />
She does not drive for fun. Anything beyond 10 minutes is branded as being too far away, and she balks. The one exception is Gilroy Gardens, and I suspect it's because it celebrates family friendly fun in a cool setting. 99 cent DC doesn't hurt either.<br />
<br />
She keeps wishing multiples on me for some cruel reason.<br />

<br />
I thought the corn mush from Nob Hill was my little secret (weapon) until we discovered--in mutual horror--that the other one knew about it, too. Everyone BEGS for the "recipe." <br />
<br />
She gets her hair done more than anyone I know. Roots be damned! That woman is in the chair every 6 weeks on the dot. Plus, she always gussies up before seeing Tyler. <br />
<br />

<br />
The woman can diet like nobodies biz. Her secret? Starvation via sheer will. I'm jealous. So is Lance.<br />
<br />
She squirreled away some free offbrand DC that I gave her for the zombie apocalypse.<br />
<br />
I just learned tonight that she chucked it. I hope the ZA happens after her arrival in Utah.<br />
<br />
She defends Tomatina like it's manna from the Gods. The food is crap, but it boasts a fireplace, and is <i>cozy</i>.<br />
<br />

Apparently, this is all it takes to get Ashley going. Take notes, Tyler! </div>

<br />
She hauled her cookies to the church every morning for two years at a heinous hour to teach seminary to annoying teenagers. She has a heavenly hall pass for life as far as I'm concerned. I once subbed and complained heartily, even though I drank DC and played some game instead of doing real work or teaching. What can I say? She's a better woman than I am.<br />
<br />
Her porch displays could all be in a Pottery Barn catalog. I shall let the fair readers decide if that's a compliment or not. Cough...it's not....cough....cough....<br />
<br />
We once did dinner and a movie, and Team Carter--led by Tyler--bolted out early to find the best seats in the theater. I'm not saying we TOTALLY weirded out, but it's worth noting we never did this combo with them again. <br />
<br />
She really liked Mitt Romney, and hoped that he would win.<br />
<br />
Despite the fact that we cheer for different political teams, every single discussion with her is civilized, and we find that we have a lot more in common than meets the eye.<br />
<br />
I am letting her keep these vintage metal signs as a 'thank you' for being such an amazing friend, and always watching B when I needed last minute help. Display them well, my friend!<br />

<br />
<br />
I don't know what kind of music she likes since she never knows anything on my top ten music lists. If pressed, I would probably have to admit that she probably has awful taste in music.<br />
<br />
She LOVES the YMCA, and faithfully attended a BodyPump class. I think it's safe to say we never rubbed elbows in the gym.<br />
<br />
When I first had B, she insisted I skip the playdates, and roam the malls in peace. I never understood this stance, and to this day have never indulged in this pastime. Sounds boring, quiet, and lonely.<br />
<br />
The girl loves her In n Out.<br />
<br />
She also loves petty, untraceable cash to spend on life's little pleasures.<br />
<br />
I gave her all the best pieces in her wardrobe--except that Mariah Carrey shirt.<br />
<br />
She coined the term PDR--a phrase I still use to this day.<br />
<br />
She brought her boys over every Halloween to check out my spooky village. Being bred of Tyler, they pay attention to minute details, and appreciated my fine handiwork. I rewarded them with a mini village of their own. <br />
<br />
She never placed in my annual cookie party. I suspect that like Kristina Buskirk before her, she will start a new version in Alpine.<br />
<br />
Who are we kidding? She would never host that many people on purpose.<br />
<br />
She is the funniest introvert that you will ever meet.<br />
<br />
She totally gets that the NKOTB obsession is both real and a joke. How is this NOT clear, people??<br />
<br />
I secretly hope that Beezie marries a redheaded Carter boy. There are like 17 to choose from, so I'm sure she can find one to float her boat.<br />

However, I fear the crazy opinions Tyler will have when planning said wedding. #reconsidering<br />
<br />
She is the most non-committal person you will ever meet. She's always looking for a possible escape route. I have no idea how Tyler locked that bird in a cage.<br />
<br />
I once (innocently) made a joke about her bad bangs after she had. Apparently, there is a statue of limitations on such items, and she lobbied a campaign of anger and indignation for months. I hadn't even noticed her bangs, good or bad, and was simply referencing her own blog post. #badidea #notfunny #shewaspissed <br />
<br />
She has a 2 hour hard stop rule for parties and showers she's not invested in. When you point this out, she will always yell something about how she brought a gift AND a delicious tray of food, so she's under no obligation to stay. Then she bolts--no excuse of pleasantry offered or needed.<br />
<br />
She isn't squeamish about sexy sex in movie or shows, but hates violence and betrayal.<br />
<br />
She's reading this thinking "I'm SO hilarious! This is good material, people. I give GOOD MATERIAL!"<br />
<br />
I often call her with math riddles: "I need to feed the ward at Christmas. Each person eats .3 oz of ham. How many 16 lb hams will I need to feed 200 people? GO!!" She loves it when she feels needed.<br />
<br />

I once made her cry in my kitchen, and I still feel bad about it. Sorry, girl!<br />
<br />
Her car really is a garbage can on wheels. I once picked their family up at the airport, and was greeted with fast food bags and no gas.<br />
<br />
This was the first party she ever came to of mine. A few months later, she invited me out for her birthday dinner. Ever since then, I've been the greatest friend with the best hair that she could have ever asked for.<br />

I once kidnapped her Hooty bird, and sent her HILARIOUS ransom photos. She refused to play along, and simply came and stole the one off my porch. #wetblanket<br />
<br />
Every time I visited her house, I rearranged her displays to annoy her--Hooty on his head, crates tipped over, foliage switched out. <br />
<br />
I totally tricked a missionary into yelling "OH YEAH" at her like the Kool Aid man. She was outraged, and he felt like a fool once he saw the damage he had done. Haha, sucker.<br />
<br />
I also almost bought her these on Etsy after said Kool Aid incident, but thought better of it.<br />

She's inherited many of Eriika's precious entertaining pieces which she always promised to display in a "cute and classy manner." <br />
<br />
She knows in her heart of hearts that blow mold will magically appear on her new doorstep during the holidays this year.<br />

She knows that it's hard to pull off a costume when pudgy. <br />
<br />
She finds it positively mind boggling that I seek out new friendships and collect people wherever I go.<br />
<br />
Now to get sappy on everyone--Ashley has been my sister since Eriika passed away in every way possible. It's hard to describe, but my relationship with her feels just like the one I had with Eriika. She is family to me, and I really needed her in my life for these last few years. She egged me on when I was struggling with infertility, cried when I got pregnant, cheered me up when Eriika died, and has continued to brighten my days with her humor and selflessness over the years. <br />
<br />
Ashley--you will be quoted often, occasionally mocked (the drive! THE DRIVE!), missed terribly, and never replicated. I love you dearly, and miss you already. Thanks for giving us some of your best years. XO.<br />

<br />
Yes, I shall blog about it later.<br />
<br />
But right now I have some pressing issues that need to be addressed.
After the LA show two years ago, I explained that there were two types of fans--Blockheads and groupies. I forgot to mention that there's a third kind of fan, the kind I also don't associate with, and avoid at all cost. The BSC. It's code for bat shiz cray. These girls are THE WORST. They stir up drama at every turn, monopolize the guys at the meet and greets, think they own the guys and have a "real" connection with them, yell at the guys on Twitter, etc. In fact, poor Donnie referenced them last week on Twitter. He wrote something to the effect of "just because I follow you on Twitter, it does NOT give you the right to lose your marbles at me. Wish I hadn't checked my inbox." It's hard out here for Dub.<br />
<br />
Just so we're clear.<br />
<br />
<b>Blockhead: </b><br />
Wait in rain, in lines, in heat, and in the dark for the guys<br />
Jump and scream at concerts<br />
Silly antics to get close to the guys, but are respectful of their space<br />
"Bend the rules" to gain access to a private event, but never steal someone else's spot<br />
Have fun at meet and greets, and share your guy with the other girl in the picture<br />
Send fun and uplifting tweets, and write funny things on their Insta pics<br />
<br />
<b>BSC: </b><br />
Send demanding/threatening/hostile messages to the guys<br />
Stir up drama with BH's<br />
Get drunk, crazy, and posessive<br />
Act like you own the men, and that they somehow owe you something<br />
Push/shove/yell at people at the After Party (srsly, people)<br />
<br />
Obvs, I am a BH, and not a BSC. But somewhere along the line, I think Donnie got me confused with a BSC, and I think he sort of hates me. I kid you not. At first, I thought it was because he wasn't into blonds. Then I thought it was because he was tired, or the groupie stole his time in LA at my meet and greet...but I am slowly realizing that he actually <i>dislikes</i> me. He has a great memory, and will totally freeze out anyone who acts BSC on him. Peeps, I am suffering from a case of mistaken identity! He either looks right through me, avoids my gaze completely, or gives me a look that says he wants me to go away. He came down my aisle last night and kissed the 2 girls right across from me. Burn.<br />
<br />
I told a funny joke at my meet and greet, and he gave me nuthin. Not even a little laugh. Then my friend who's a Jordan asked how he was doing, and he responded "the question is how are YOU doing, girl?" WHAT. THE. HELL. He hates me.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
But you know who doesn't hate me? This guy! </div>
<br />

<br />
I digress. After a quarter of a century of loving this Dub (yes, 25 years--this is SERIOUS, people) I thought the only thing keeping us from being magical music soulmates and BH for life was the fact that we hadn't met. Now I feel like I've been railroaded by some crazy chick somewhere who did something that bugged him, and it's sort of ruining my dreams.<br />
<br />
Two options:
Switch teams to Jordan. That guy LOVES me. He's everything I thought Dub would be, and more. Attentive, touchy, funny, sweet, and flirty. I make eye contact with him every time I see him, and always get a smile, wink, or something else tossed my way. It's fabulous.<br />
<br />
Change up my look. Wear my hair curly, don my glasses. That kind of thing. I'm not sure it will help, but it certainly can't hurt.<br />
<br />
Weigh in. I got one more shot on Friday night, and I need to know which direction to go.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: red;">Post Production Note: If you're a longtime reader of my blog, you will know this post is in jest. NKOTB/Donnie will always have a piece of my heart. I don't think Dub is a jerk, or that he actually hates me. In fact, I've never known a band to do more for their fans than these 5 guys. I just think the universe is against us, and I have two choices: soldier on and chase the dream, or convert to Jordanism. Decisions, decisions.</span>...The Mostesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05060665423449147521noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625253459369686077.post-70512545422712796612013-06-23T18:01:00.001-07:002013-06-23T18:01:11.572-07:00Hawaii Scrapbook<object width="425" height="425" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-ui.swf"/><param name="flashvars" value="configXMLURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/config/config-share.xml&slideshowModuleURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-module.swf&projectGUID=8AbuWblyzbs1eP&swfName=slideshowFlashContent&showReplay=true"/><param name="menu" value="false"/><param name="quality" value="best"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><embed width="425" height="425" align="middle" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="wrapper" quality="best" menu="false" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="configXMLURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/config/config-share.xml&slideshowModuleURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-module.swf&projectGUID=8AbuWblyzbs1eP&swfName=slideshowFlashContent&showReplay=true" src="http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-ui.swf"></embed></object><p style="width:425px;margin-top:0;text-align:center;"><a href="http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AbuWblyzbs2Hf&eid=118">Click here to view this photo book larger</a><div style="margin-top: 10px; width: 425px; text-align: center;">Shutterfly <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books/baby-photo-books" style="color: #6666cc;">baby photo books</a> are the perfect way to preserve your baby's precious moments. </div></p>The Mostesshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05060665423449147521noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5625253459369686077.post-43434902517431947042013-06-23T00:22:00.003-07:002013-06-23T18:01:23.017-07:00Disneyland<object width="425" height="425" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-ui.swf"/><param name="flashvars" value="configXMLURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/config/config-share.xml&slideshowModuleURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-module.swf&projectGUID=8AbuWblyzbs1dw&swfName=slideshowFlashContent&showReplay=true"/><param name="menu" value="false"/><param name="quality" value="best"/><param name="wmode" value="transparent"/><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"/><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/><embed width="425" height="425" align="middle" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" name="wrapper" quality="best" menu="false" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" flashvars="configXMLURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/config/config-share.xml&slideshowModuleURL=http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-module.swf&projectGUID=8AbuWblyzbs1dw&swfName=slideshowFlashContent&showReplay=true" src="http://images-community.shutterfly.com/flashapps/slideshow/slideshow-ui.swf"></embed></object><p style="width:425px;margin-top:0;text-align:center;"><a href="http://share.shutterfly.com/action/welcome?sid=8AbuWblyzbs2HO&cid=SFLYOCWIDGET&eid=118">Click here to view this photo book larger</a><div style="margin-top: 10px; width: 425px; text-align: center;">You'll love Shutterfly's award-winning <a href="http://www.shutterfly.com/photo-books" style="color: #6666cc;">photo books</a>.

Carly was the organizer extraordinaire, and Kristine hosted it. It was the party I have always wanted to throw for myself, and that's no easy feat. Twilight? Check. NKOTB? Check. Talk of my luscious hair? Check. My friends referring to me as "fun, loud and aggravating?" CHECK!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was greeted with this little scene. Ashley was tasked with procuring a dozen balloons, but I called her a #wetblanket and #introvert earlier in the day, so she whittled it down to three balloons. I think we all know I'm lucky to have gotten even 3. #shedoesntmessaround #ballbuster</div>

It started with a buffet of my favorite foods. Turns out I'm kind of white trash, but my friends still like me anyway. Chick Fil A nuggets, a TUB 'o' Sauce, sweet potato fries, fruit, layered JEll-O, corn muffins, salad, creamed corn, cupcakes, and enough Diet Coke to last several weeks.<br />

We quickly moved on to the roast portion, ushered along by Ashley and Heather--the unofficial "mover alongers" of our group. No party can wrap up fast enough for these two keepers of time.<br />
<br />
Ashley started out the roast with some hilarious and highly accurate observations and tidbits about me. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
*It is commendable to be equally at ease while camping in the mountains as well as at a fancy gala in the city.<br />
<br />
*If one captures a good picture of hair or a particularly flattering angle, immediately post to all media outlets.<br />
<br />
*To truly enjoy food, one should locate an eatery, eat at it frequently--possibly daily-- and arrange for your friends to attend and praise it incessantly. After about 6 to 9 months it should then be dead to you, and another location must be found.<br />
<br />
*If one is going to do something, do it passionately--whether it be Jazzercise, hair products, crockpot cooking, or 80's dancing. Promote it in any and all available conversations.<br />

Kristine actually had nice things to say about me, and presented me with the greatest sign ever. I would totally win a NKOTB display-off with Farts Mcgee.<br />

Lance gave horrible answers. He described himself as "average, and not fat." I thought this meant I was supposed to pick another candidate.<br />

We planned a girly getaway with our friends who have left us--our beloved Hayley, and our equally beloved Sarah, who now lives in North Carolina now. Sarah did us all a solid and came out west, and we met up in Park City.</div>

One of the best parts about traveling with friends is that is magnifies
the differences between all of us. In short, I will always be the
non-planner/last minute packer/eat whatever. My dear bestie will always
be the uber planner/tortured packer/bring your own feed in case of
starvation. We travel well together. The flurry of furious texts the night before were classic Heather. The weather was vexing her, and she didn't know what to pack. Conversely, I dumped two tons of clothes in my bag and decided to figure it out once we arrived.</div>

After dinner, we hightailed it to Park City, where they informed us upon check-in that the property was under construction. You know that part in the Wedding Singer where Adam Sandler yells "<span class="st">Once again, things that could have been brought to my attention <em>YESTERDAY</em>" They promised jackhammers at 8am--which we hid from Type A in case it wouldn't be an issue. The suite, however, was fabulous. We hopped into the whirlpool tub for a night of soaking and girl talk.</span></div>

The next morning, we ate at the same restaurant, and then headed back to pack up and hit the local spa before heading home. The map to the spa was convoluted, and we nearly gave up ten different times. It didn't look promising.</div>

After the spa, it was time to head home. We were all relaxed, well fed, and caught up on girl talk. Next time, we're heading to North Carolina and getting a beach house. I'm already counting down the days.</div>

I will bring HotDad, and Heather's "missing shirts." This means we should probably use the shower at some point, and avoid the Loco restaurant that gave everyone the runs. I will also buy pants on my own time, and refrain from dancing in the hall at Hayley's, per Heather's explicit instructions. I'm already planning on rolling on top of her again with my howling/smiling wolf tattoo. Until then, ladies!</div>

<br />
B is all about options--breakfast options, clothing options, video options, game options. Every morning when she wakes up the first thing she says is "I need to check out my breakfast options."<br />
<br />
She still steals everyone else's shoes. Whenever shoes are missing at the end of a playdate, we know who to blame.<br />
<br />
If you want her to scram, play "get back here with that!" She will take whatever she has and run like the wind. <br />
<br />
She makes us smoothies and crocodile soup in her kitchen every day.<br />
<br />
She could car less about her garbage truck--unless Kai Kai comes to visit. Then it's immediately the GREATEST TOY EVER. The truck always ends up in a timeout. <br />
<br />
Her imagination has really kicked in recently. She's constantly off on adventures, searching for pirates, and looking for treasure.<br />
<br />
She's a daddy's girl, and loves to work out in the garage and yard with Lance. She tells me all about their projects they work on together.<br />

Church songs--Popcorn Popping, Jesus Wants me for a Sunbeam, I am a Child of God. She fusses every morning before church because she hates dresses and tights, but loves it once she's there.<br />
<br />
Shows: Caillou, Dora, Diego, Doc Mcstuffins, Tinker Bell, Jake and the Neverland Pirates. She got into Tinkebell after our last Disneyland trip.<br />
<br />
In the car the other day, she started singing "this little piggie went to the market, this little piggie went to Iowa..."<br />
<br />
She often requests a "light jacket" when leaving the house. <br />
<br />
Food: peanut butter crackers, yogurt smoothies, bars, grapes, cheese, chicken nuggets, pancakes (with butter and syrup), strawberries, dried mango, dried strawberries, chicken noodle soup, mac and cheese, toast with butter and jam, cashews, popcorn, avocados, Wheat Thins, cheddar bunnies, fruit snacks, and waffle fries from CFA.<br />
<br />
She's always rearranging my front porch displays. Every time I open the door, she runs out to "help" me.<br />

<br />
She's into gardening--she loves plants and helping pick lemons from our tree. She planted some soybeans at school, and has enjoyed watching them grow.<br />

<br />
She talks All. Day. Long. <br />
<br />
She asks if food is gluten free before offering it to me. When I tell her no, she informs me that I should get a gluten free version of her food.<br />
<br />
She gets angry when Logan steals her food--even if it's something she abandoned long before it was snatched. She still talks about how Logan stole her peanut butter crackers, and it was a few weeks ago. After he steals her food, she commands him into his doggie den. "Go in your doggie den, Gonie!!"<br />
<br />
She loves to do art projects--stamps, paint, stickers, and coloring. I have yet to introduce Play Doh because it seems like a big mess.<br />

<br />
She's bossy. She frequently tells us to leave her room, leave her alone, and not to talk. This leads to a time out for bad manners, of course, but she still tries it every once in a while.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
She loves to gas up her play car at school. She loves to do all of the things I do during the day.</div>

<br />
She's always jumping--on and off the couch, stairs, and chairs. <br />
<br />
We rock in Lance's chair every night before bed. We talk about what we did that day, and what we will do the next day. I sing her a few songs, and then we go read books in her room. She always requests at least one song from Adele's 21 album. <br />
<br />
We have to sing her Twinkle Twinkle Little Star 3 times each night. After the 3rd one, she says "that was the lasssssssst time." Then she rolls over and goes to sleep.<br />
<br />
She's a connoisseur of radio songs. Her faves: Kesha, Pitbull, Adelle, Katy Perry, Amy Winehouse Taylor Swift, Britney Spears, Swedish House Mafia, Justin Bieber, and Bruno Mars. She can identify Pitbull in 4 different songs.<br />
<br />
She loves to read, and lounges around "reading" her books out loud. She makes up stories based on the pictures in the books.<br />

She's thankfully out of the phase where she fusses in the shopping cart. She's back to being helpful and nice.<br />

<br />
Her little prayers each night are adorable--she starts off pretty strong (bless Mommy, Daddy, Gonie...) and then she just starts looking around the room--then she blesses clothes, doors, windows, shoes, and whatever else she can spot as she peeks around. Ha!<br />
<br />
If you take her to the beach, you can skip all of the sand toys and fancy stuff. Just dig her a hole, and she will stay busy all day jumping in and out of it. Of course this requires some effort up front.<br />
<br />

She's always stealing my phone to look at pictures and videos.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
She takes pretty good care of her babies, and animals. </div>

She's not super clever in the stuffed animal name department: Meow Meow the cat, Pickles the Duck, Brown Duck the Duck.<br />
<br />
She's very funny, and tells lots of jokes. She recently moved into the knock-knock jokes. Her fave is the old "banana/orange you glad I didn't say banana again." She also likes to mix up our names, and pretend that she's one of us.<br />
<br />
She knows our fave bands: Mine is NKOTB, hers is Swedish House Mafia, and Lance's is M-83.<br />
<br />
She dislikes hipsters and banjos like me. Mumford and Sons came on, and she told me she didn't like them. In a poor parenting moment, I said they sucked. She countered with "yeah, they suck--like my juice box!" Poor parenting sometimes leads to awesome quotes.<br />
<br />
She always requests "fresh, cool water" in her water bottle.<br />
<br />
I recently bought her a Radio Flyer scooter at a garage sale for $1. At first, she whined that it was too hard. After an hour, Lance said something clicked, and she hopped on and took off. Mission accomplished.<br />
<br />
When we shop, she will look at items and say "oh, that's cuuuute." <br />
<br />
She loves the bath, and stays in until she's cold and pruney. She has an abundance of bath toys. <br />
<br />
She so much fun, and even on the days when she drives us crazy, we love her so much, and feel so lucky to have our little crazycakes. We love you, Beezie! You're my favorite sidekick!<br />

I kicked off my birthday week with dinner at <a href="http://sliderbarusa.com/">Slider Bar</a> in Palo Alto. It's SO good. We ordered 3 baskets of fries--garlic, sweet potato, and these greasy fries piled high with pulled pork and ranch sauce. It was heavenly.</div>

After dinner, we came back to my house and watched Pitch Perfect. It was just as good the second time around.<br />
<br />
I also hit up Cat Club, and rocked out to the best of the 80's in the back room with Susan and Jojo.<br />

On Thursday night, I went to Bon Jovi with friends. I stole Sharla's hat to prove my theory that I look super hot in sunglasses and fedoras. It's not conceited if it's a fact. (Hi Carly!)<br />

After
lunch, we came back, and I hit up our school raffle. I was hoping to

It was a wonderful and fabulous birthday, though we did miss Lance, who was in Utah for a wedding.<br />

A curious thing happens when I diet and work out a ton--my blog suffers. Instead of hanging out on the couch at night, I'm hustling on the streets with my Fitbit on, furiously trying to beat all of my friends in the steps department. I just realized how far behind I am--but since I'm home with a stupid head cold (again!!) I'm catching up. What--you don't want to read about Easter on the very last day of April??</div>

We hit up the Easter Bunny at Vallco. I love that mall for holiday pics. Cheap, fast, and the mascots are good. Much better than the <a href="http://themostess.blogspot.com/2011/04/peter-cottontail.html">skinny Nesquik bunny of former years.</a></div>

The next day, B woke up to a packed basket! Thankfully, Outrageous Outgrowns was the week before, so I loaded up on treaties for her basket. The favorite items are the Cars flashlight and the jump rope. She did NOT like the Captain Hook doll, so we loaned it to the Grays until she's a bit older. We also hosted a small gathering here, and despite my threats, I did <i>not</i> make ham balls.<br />

Hippity hoppity--we had a wonderful Easter weekend, and enjoyed spending time with our friends! It's also a special time for me because it makes me think back to when I was pregnant with our adorable <a href="http://themostess.blogspot.com/2010/04/hippity-hoppity.html">little Mini. </a>I'm so grateful for Lance and Blakely, and our little family and life here in California.</div>
