Spreading My Wings

Awhile ago I did a post about Tessa.. and how I felt like she was a caterpillar in my sister's belly... that would soon be a butterfly... beautiful, ready to spread her wings. I also talked about how at times our faith or hope is like this.. sometimes dark and hidden... waiting to be beautiful, and take flight. Well, seeing her born, watching my sister and Charlie, and holding her has renewed my faith. She is beautiful... amazingly beautiful. And the light that she carries burns my soul... I can't wait to see my little butterfly.. spread her wings.. and take flight. To see what she becomes for her parents, and for me. You know at times... it breaks my heart that I don't have my own kids... but, then I am blessed with this insight... and deep love for kids that are not my own. Sometimes we don't get what we want... but He gives us something to make up for that loss. I thank Him.. :>)

Virgin Lips

Driving by our marque at school the other day and saw this....

























So of course I start thinking of what SB and VL are... Um Softball and Volleyball.. I don't know was perplexed with what it was !! So I talked to Anna Banana who is in charge of putting info. on our marque. She informed me that SB stood for "Spencer Brown" which is our Student Body President and VL... stood for "Virgin Lips". So pretty much... "Spencer is not Virgin Lips". He got his first kiss !!! LOL... I love it !!! Love my school !! Good Stuff !!

Mr. Stork Stops By

I am blessed !! This morning I woke up to a call from my sister... "Get up.. Baby Tessa is coming !!". On my way to the hospital.. I had a moment. You know those moments when the veil is thin, you are not really thinking about anything, and then all of the sudden you feel love, warmth.. I had one.. Tessa told me she was coming and excited to come. Well, she did at 4:47 pm today !! I am so proud of Stace, she was so brave and amazing. And Charlay was just sweet as always, doting and loving her. Tessa Nicole Bailey will change our lives.. she told me so today on my way to meet her... I look forward to it !! And thanks Mr. Stork... you are MAGIC !! Stop my music to the left to watch the video...

Chef Chan

I will never forget the first time I met Chan. He was wearing khaki shorts, a bright purple shirt, and a yellow beret. He had a crowd of people around him that he seemed to be entertaining, and when he smiled at me.. I knew that we would become great friends.... He is a man of many talents... and though I tease him quite a bit.. because of him I have Andee and him in my life, not to mention three great godkids. I wanted to thank him somehow for the awesome day he gave us... and in my own silly way I decided to write him a poem !! One of the mostest, favoritist, talents that I benefit from knowing Chan... is his cooking. I always enjoy a good meal when I go up to see them or they come down to see me... He is by far the bestest chef... He is...

CHEF CHAN !!
My tummy loves Chef Chan.
It growls ... You be the man !!!
Chef Chan always makes it yummy treats.
What he concocts, and creates is no small feat.
From pico de gallo eggs, to beef stroganoff.
Chef Chan is the head honcho cooking boss.
My tummy rumbles and gurgles in thanks.
For all the good food from him that it partakes !!



Thanks Chan... Love you :>)

Gettin a Rub Down From Hans

Lots of people have tried to get me to get facials, massages, pedicures... etc. for a long time. I don't wanna !!! I have this thing about people I don't know touching me.... just not appealing. Andal my Love Handle, called me a couple of weeks ago and told me that Chan was springing to get us a day at the spa...um, I didn't really wanna go, but Andal wanted me to... so I told her I would. When we first got there, they took us to a relaxation room... um.. I was struggling.. no plants, or candles, or ocean music was gonna relax me at that point. All, I could think of was that there was some huge guy named Hanz in the back waiting to give me a rub down.. I was freaked !! We then were led to our little shower rooms... the girl went into some tranquil, mountain, breeze.. speech about the stuff she was putting on the cloth that I was supposed to wash with. Honestly, all I cared about was that it smelled good. I showered, put like five layers of towels on my body, robed up, and started following the girl to my appointment. She informed me that "Dusty was waiting for me". AAAAA !! It is a boy.. almost didn't make it.. but alas, Dusty was a girl. Dusty gave me a facial.. and all of my concerns, fears, and anticipations melted away. Helloooo can you say I was in HEAVEN !! I mean seriously she could have done my facial with me butt naked and I wouldn't have given a crap.. it was incredible and felt amazing !! Andal and I then swapped and Allie gave me a massage.. I seriously was moaning from how good it felt !! Think I scared her a little :) .. All in all, my friends have been right... the spa thing is worth it, and as long as the word spa treatment is involved.. any freakin stranger can touch me from here on out !! I am going as much as I can now.. which is like once a year cause it aint cheap. Chan paid, which was icing on the cake. Thanks Andal for the awesome experience !! And Chan.. you are truly an amazing husband, friend, and man. Lucky to have family like you.... Love you guys !!

Steak Night

My favorite clip from the premiere of "Scrubs" last week... Classic !!

May The Force Be With You

The past week when I had the boys.. little Hutcher got a Star Wars toy. It was a toy that had to do with a scene from "Return of the Jedi". Hutcher seems to be into Star Wars lately, so I asked him if he had seen the movie.. and he didn't, so we watched it. How freakin cool is it to share I movie that I love from like twenty years ago.. with my nephews. They were asking me questions.. and there was a little confusion between Annakin turning into Darth, and Leah and Luke being related... But Hutcher was epeciallly intent on getting all the Star Wars soap opera down. It was a not to forget moment, that this cool movie, with a good message that impacted me... impacted him. :>) Our favorite was Chewie's call.. had to get the boys trying to do it...

The Me Shrine

The other night I was helping my sister put away her Christmas Deco.. and I took one of my Dad's Santa pictures off the wall. I asked him what he wanted to put in its place, and he told me there were a bunch of framed pictures in the garage I could choose from. So I chose this one. :>) She is hot !! I then put candles under it. Every shrine must have candles....

Mmmmm.... Cupcakes

I seriously love cupcakes...it is like a bite full of heaven. Plus... with cake it seems like you get more cake then you do frosting.. With cupcakes you can pile on the frosting and get an even amount of frosting and cake... Yah confusing, but I love them. Made some Valentine ones with the boys !!

Tessa Be Coming

So baby Tessa be coming soon !! I am sooo excited to be an aunt to a baby girl.. Charlie and Stacy and I got cracking on decorating her room... They did most of it.. but I got to paint some of the wall !!
