Erin B., my littest 'G'

So I haven't written a blog in what, 3 years? Here's one to make you smile!

 

Emilee was lucky enough to have two days a week with GPa Kevin until she started school. I would receive the most hilarious emails and texts on Wednesday's and Friday's.

 

Somehow I started calling his work "the GPaparazzi" . Without fail, I would be passing my phone around work and we would all giggle at the latest works. Some of his best include a butterfly toy on Emilee's face or have her "up inna aspen tree". It's amazing how much we love that girl!

 

Whelp, now its Erin's turn. I mentioned to GPa last week how much I missed seeing these silly works. What happened, you might ask? Well... I present to you the latest works of the great GPaparazzi! What's more is that Erin is sick as a dog right now. We had a hell of a night on Wednesday and an equally fun time yesterday. Despite her feeling crummy, GPa managed this:

 

What's up my fo' shizzles...

Wanna hear something cray-cray...?

'Scuse me...I got to check my dizzles...

Cool - you ready....?

Motor boat warm-up

followed by a FULL drizzle...

Whaaaaat...????

this is my "Double Drizzle"...another EB original

and a beso cause I am the flavor of love...

peace out....

oh you want one more...?  Cause I'm sexy like that...?

Can a chica get a close-up....please! Lights, camera, lashes...

ya'll are the bessss-esses....E2thaB

Thank you GPa for being the best GPa these girls could possibly have! 

Just another Wednesday with GPa

Emilee loves hanging out with GPa on Wednesday's. Here is what he sent me this week:

 

"Had too much fun at the playground..."

 

"then came home and ate everything in the house."

 

 

Oh my!

GPa and Chica... just a girl and her old man.

Emilee is lucky enough to hang out with her grandparents during the week while mommy and daddy are working very hard! Kevin (GPa) has the greatest sense of humor. He's sure to be one of Emilee's favorite people on the planet. Here's a little something that showed up in my email today, along with the pictures.

 

 

 

Hi Mom....just wanted to take a minute to write you a note and tell you how much I love you. You and daddy are the best parents a girl could ever ask for AND you picked the best grandpa ever for me...

today was so off the chain I just have to tell you...

First me and GPa got some quality face time...got caught up and dished the 411. Then I took a little nap cause I knew when I woke up I'd get to eat that great picnic lunch you made for me. Awesome...but here's where everything just got out of hand....

So GPa installs a kickin' stereo system in my ride while I was catchin' zzzzzs - yeah I know...!!!

 

 

Naturally we had to cruise right away. So we rolled out and cruised the neighborhood first...saw that old guy with the big beard and the flame-y handkerchief on his head sitting on the porch in front of his house as usual. Then we headed for the yard...I saw a few kids there of course...and they all had moms...I was the only chica rollin with a GPa...I'm just saying.

 

Everything was chill so we headed south towards the lake. We got all the way down to the parking lot past 23rd then GPa looks at me and says 'you can't handle the truth'...I stared him down and said 'bring it, old man' (it's a thing we have). So that crazy moefoe takes a hard right and all of a sudden we're off road four wheeling with the top down right on the beach....whaaaaaaaat

 

That was cool as hell. Then we headed over to the pier and saw some fish jumping all up in the lake and making a fuss...also we saw some ducks right next to my buggy...they're really cute, aren't they?

 

 

All good things come to an end...right? We ended up on chillin' on the patio at the GPa Grill for drinks. I had a virgin White Russian, GPa rocked an iceT.

 

 

GPa said it would be a good idea if I pooped my pants, so somewhere along the way I did just that....big time....just to show him respect and let him know I was paying attention.

 

By that time I was baked...what a day. I was a goner....just fell out for some more quality zzzzzs and should be back on top by the time I see you this afternoon.

 

 

Did I tell you how much I love you and daddy...? Cause I dew!!

 

 

and a second email a few hours later...

 

 

Hi Mom - I forgot to tell you...after we had drinks on the patio a plumber guy from Applewood Plumbing (those guys crack me up....heh) came by and asked GPa if I could have some candy corn...he said ok...then he says 'don't tell your mom'....

 

 

ohhh...ooops

 

 

hey don't mess up my thing with GPa, k? I got it all hooked up and can get anything I want so please be cool...

 

 

thanks mom....love you...

 

 

GPa is so cool!

March 23, 2013

I knew it was going to snow... I just didn't know it would snow THAT MUCH!!!      

 

 

No matter how much snow ended up on the ground, the day was bound to be a good one!

Isn't she beautiful!?!  

 

I pulled this off the wedding photo website. I love my girls!!! We where unofficially her wedding party, and I of course was her unofficial Maid of Honor! It was a beautiful wedding. I cried my eyes out during their vows. Not because of pregnancy hormones, I just really love Stacey and the fam!

She's my little sis, you know?!?

 

Just married!!

 Jonny really loves to dance, and its amazingly adorable!

  

  She asked me to make a toast at the wedding. I practiced and practiced the toast without crying, but of course I cried through the entire thing! Our friendship is so precious to me. I love that girl!

One thing is official... I am now on maternity leave! So I've been meeting friends for lunch.

I met Taylor at La Cocinita one of the days, and then we walked to Roberta's Chocolates. 

Go there... trust me... go there!

 

We unleashed. Taylor is 3 weeks behind me and also having a girl!!

Yay!! Baby will have some friends!

 

Well... I think we are ready

 

Come out baby! Come out!
