911 and Surgery

So it finally happened. Georgia called 911! Oops. nothing more embarrassing then a cops kid calling 911. Luckly the deputy that got the call of a 911 hangup and was on her way out here works with tom and knew it was our address so she just called here and asked tom if the baby had been playing with the phone. hahaha little turd. tom thought it was funny and I thought it was embarrassing. Oh well, it happens. its not like she did it on purpose but the 9 and the 1 just happen to be on the end so when she holds the phone her little fingers can reach it. guess we need to be more careful on where we leave the phone.


So last week Gigi had her MRI on her feet (she has an extra bone in her left foot) so that the Dr. can map out the surgery to remove it. she obviously need to be put to sleep in order to get her very still. so it was a whole ordeal. here is a little sleepy picture of her before she woke up from it.

isnt she so peaceful and sweet?! she did so well waking up from it. lets see if i can add this video.

she was obviously a little "drunk" on the meds they gave her. she was so sweet.

Her surgery is this coming friday. its really nothing BIG. we dont have to stay overnight and she can walk the next day is she wants to. the doctor said it will hurt but she must have forgotten what child she is talking about. MY kid is go go go allllll day and you cant keep her down. so i bet money she will be up and going the next day.

We will take lots of pictures for our out of town family and friends so you can feel like you were here. :) pray for little Georgia!

VIVA LAS VEGAS!

Let me start by saying, NO, we didnt win any moolah! hahaha Tom and I just got back from Vegas this past weekend. We had a GREAT time! It was a nice break before all hell is about to break loose.
We walked about 100 miles while we were there. WOW even the Strip is long. I actually am glad we did all the walking since we ate all the good food like it was going out of style. the food was AMAZING. we ate at the Top of The World (at the Stratusphere) the night we arrived. the view was just awesome. I had steak and tom had pork chops. OMG! i thought i had died and gone to heavan. soooooo good! We took some pictures but they didnt turn out all the good. I will post some later.
The next day we walked down the street and bought tickets to KA one of the Cirque Du Soliel (sp?) show that night. We were both really excited to see this show. Vegas has about 5 of these shows in different hotels. Each one is different. We went to see the more martial arts one and it was great. those people must have like NO body fat and be in amazing shape. plus we were able to buy drinks before we went in so that was nice. hehe
We ate at a nice Italian resturant at the Venitian afterward. GOOD food. and the atmosphere in these places is so fun. Both tom and i love to people watch so we had alot to look at. haha vegas is a whole other world. haha
We hung out at the pool at the Mirage (our hotel) and had a great relaxing time. they have like 3 bars around the pool and also have servers that will come to your chair and take your drink order. We got two HUGE drinks ($30 for two drinks!!) and floated around the pool lazily drinking them. it was tons of fun. I enjoyed the people watching, well, until i saw a little too much of one fella. YIKES. needless to say security escorted him out. haha i guess what happens in vegas stays in vegas! hahaha
We both missed gigi very much. I think we annoyed the grandparents a little since we called about 3 times a day just to hear her give us Kisses over the phone. I could barely talk to her cause I always choked up the second I heard her. yes i am a mess! We had a great time and cant wait for the next vacation WITH Gigi this time. haha I will post pics as soon as I find the cord to load them on the computer. Me and Tom in front of the Wynn.

Saturday Mornings

I LOVE the weekends. who doesnt?! I remember as a kid, getting up early (im sure my mom loved that part!) getting some cereal and watching my cartoons. I would put a pillow and a blanket on the floor and vegg out in front of the tv while i ate breakfast. this gave my mom some extra sleep time and i was so comfy. then i would play play play or mom would put some music on and we would clean. well i tried to help but i prob made more of a mess then anything.
but now its my turn to help make those memories for gigi. every weekend we get up, I put her on our bed while i finish getting ready, brushing teeth and whatnot. we have started brushing with gigi, she has her own little spongebob toothbrush. she doesnt really like the feeling of it yet but she likes to copy us. i turn on her cartoons and she lays in our bed and watches the Disney channel while I finish up. Then we head downstairs and I fix her morning sippy cup of milk and make some MUCH NEEDED coffee for me and we hang out on the sofa. this is just long enough for me to wake up enough to function. HA! then shes off like a bolt of lightening. if you have ever met Gigi you know that from sun up to sun down she is go go go. Recently she has learned to climb up on the ottoman and flip over the arm of the sofa! ahhhhhh I have a feeling she is going to be a climber like her daddy. apparently as a kid he LOVED to climb. great, i foresee many broken bones in our future. wish us luck!
i will post pics of our sat morning later.
