The Royal Wedding

I just finished watching the Royal Wedding where Prince William married Catherine Middleton.  What an amazing display. I was too young to remember the Prince Charles/ Princess Di wedding but everyone would talk about it for years... so i knew this was something i definitely wanted to DVR.

i will say, I was amazed. I couldn't even begin to imagine what she felt... every little girl's dream marrying Prince Charming.

I love this picture:

amazing...

Lucky for me, I married my Prince Charming too.

Getting Busy!

Holy cow Hollywood. In addition to all the engagement announcements after the holidays there are a ton of pregnancy announcements. It seems like everyday someone knew is announcing some news. It's so crazy!

Selma Blair (I didnt even know she was dating anyone since her divorce),Kevin James' third, Khloe Kardashian (though not sure if this is just another rumor or the truth), Owen Wilson, Then- Kate Hudson announces the next day- ironic, Natalie Portman, Tia Mowry. I'm sure I'm missing someone. I check my daily gossip sites and was amazed at all the announcements...

Lots of babies! Those famous folk sure are busy! And speaking of busy- time for me to get on this party planning for baby girl. Party is sunday and I haven't done a thing. Well- I lied. I ordered her cake and pumpernickel bread. Hopefully between today and tomorrow, I can get my house cleaned and the party planned. Yikes!

Here is the invite we sent. I had some guilt as I am so behind in planning mode, that I didnt know if we should do paper invites or evites. I opted with paper. I was really excited with how they turned out. Now if only her small little party will be just as good.

  

And since it's Friday- here's my edition of tv talk of what I watched for the week:

• Modern Family- last week's episode with James Franco. Any episode is good when the sole focus is on Cam and Mitchell. Love them!
• Desperate Housewives- interesting twist to have Zach show up at the end as the flower delivery man. I wonder what the storyline is on that one...
• The Bachelor- no new thoughts. I still get sucked in
• Grey's Anatomy- I fell asleep. shows either how boring the episode was or how tired I was.
• Teen Mom 2- holy cow! My guilty pleasure is back with all new girls. Jenelle- a hot mess. Total train wreck. I wanted to punch her in the face the way she talked to her mother. Her mom is over bearing but oh my goodness, the way Jenelle spoke to her, threatened her, etc... I just feel bad for Jace. I love Chelsea- or maybe I just love her dad. He's such a great influence on her- and I love his advice and words of support. Leah and Corey are great. I read the spoilers so I know how they are doing. Will be fun to watch. I dont care for Kailyn or her storyline- boring.

and- just so I dont forget... Sean was tucking Owen into bed last night and they were laying together, facing each other.

Sean:  "I love you Owen"

Owen: "Owen and daddy- best friends"

melts my heart. have a great weekend!

90210

If you know me, you'd know that Beverly Hills 90210 is my favorite show of all time. We used to gather around the sorority house and watch it, I'd watch after I came home from college. Such memories watching 9-0 and then Melrose Place. 90210 was one of those shows that I have probably seen every episode- at least 10 times. Sean has now seen them just as much. Sad, I know. The new 90210 doesn't compare, though I am still hooked. Not quite sure why.

Shocking that Andrea...aka Gabrielle Carteris turned 50 today. Really, 50? Yikes...am I really getting that old? I guess she was 29 when she started, but sheesh. It's funny to look back on this and think- could any of them really get out of the 90210 shell? Besides a made for tv movie here and there, I dont think so. Good thing Brian Austin Green became relevant again on Desperate Housewives- and maybe for marrying Megan Fox...though she looks just awful lately.

Pretty Megan Fox...

not so pretty...

I digress.... happy birthday Andrea!

I think I must have a thing for childhood memories. My favorite movie of all time is from the 80's... my second favorite movie of all time is from 1986- Lucas- and the main character Corey Haim is now dead (though I guess I shouldn't feel too old since he died of drugs and not old age?)

I'll post more tomorrow about my week off, a bloggy friend meet up and sick children (of course).

Holiday Cards

My holiday cards have finally been mailed and delivered so I can post what I ended up choosing from shutterfly. I had to send 125 of them, so the 50 free cards really helped me out. Remember the promotion here.

I was really happy how they turned out... family-oriented, a focus on each child, etc. I find it funny to see the cards of the famous. I wonder if they'll look back and wonder "what was I thinking?"

Really, LeAnn Rimes?

or- how about Paris?

and you can't forget the Kardashians...

A flash back to the 2008 Kardashian card... why was there a ladder?

At least Britney is normal... who would have thought I'd ever write that? And, sidenote, I no longer can think of Britney Spears without thinking of Brittany S Pierce from Glee... Sean and I love her character.

I dont think I have ever written this before, but I think my true calling would have been an entertainment reporter. I dont have the look for tv... but I love that stuff. I could read a people magazine or perez and be able to quote back most stories. Ask me to read a textbook and I couldnt comprehend it. Oh well- I like my job and wouldn't trade it in...so I will happily follow the celeb bloggers for my scoop.

Our busy week

Well- I knew going into it this week would be busy. Let's start with Sunday!

our photo shoot...The bee tried to eat the elephant.

Monday- the dentist. Ick. 1 cavity. To be filled in November.

Tuesday- Hunter's sports awards and choir concert. Doesnt he look cute thrilled to be going to a concert?

yep- the only one wearing a tie.... I came home and played with this:

Wednesday- a day to do nothing. A day to enjoy our kids and watch the Teen Mom reunion on my dvr...

Thursday- a cool day at work... could this be my new BFF?

After work, I went out to dinner with my 6 closest real BFF's.

Then there is Friday- busy day at work and then the weekend. Woot Woot!
