Welcome

I am proud of my family. I love Jesus. I am not perfect. I like junk food, particularly potato chips. I work out with my sexy rock star husband. I hate it. I do it for the company. My children make my heart beat. I was once a full time photographer. I retired to loose my sanity by becoming a stay-at-home Mom. I recently came out of retirement to avoid the looney-bin. Please enjoy the funny stories of my family, the hilarity of me trying to work out & find my skinny and the every-now-and-then crafts that I begin but rarely finish.
God Save The Queen.....

Fun Day had by All

A few weeks ago, Chris was scheduled to go to L.A. for several days.

Being the good man that he is, he scheduled in some "us" time out of his ginormously busy work life so that we could all be with Daddy before the trip to Cali.

We didn't tell Alexander ahead of time where we were going. Actually, he knew we were heading to New Orleans but didn't know what we were going to do.

Until he met these guys:

That Cutie Patootie in the green shirt is one of the girl's future boyfriend, Jack. {No need to worry about him being fought over - his Momma just delivered a Cutie Patootie baby brother, Owen, last week. One for each of the Sisters!} His Daddy works with Chris & they got together & decided that their kids needed to meet the Imagination Movers. {Quick Question: Who looks more excited, a.) The Dads or b.) The Boys?}
Rich was so good with the girls. He even remembered which baby was Izzy & which was Sophie.

It DOES pay to have some one in the Film and Television industry sleeping in the bed next to you every night.

Most of my friends (and LOTS of family) would be excited to be on a movie set like Dukes of Hazzard or True Blood. Nah, not me. Nothing tops seeing a four-year-old seeing those guys for the first time in person. Actually driving away from the Nims Center knowing that "he knew" they were real. That to him, they actually solved problems. It's priceless!!

The folks at Disney were so incredibly hospitable while we were there. I'd been to the sound stage with Chris a few years back when they were filming Glory Road, but to see the place transformed into the Mover's Warehouse was AWESOME!!! They let us walk on set, watch some filming and Scott even "taught Alexander the Mover's Secret Handshake." We even got to meet Warehouse Mouse!! Izzy was so giggly with that little puppet! My highlight was meeting Nina!! We love her! She played with the girls and held them. Sophie even gave her Blue for a few minutes!

It was a fabulous set visit! Lots of fun had by all!!

Thank you, Daddy, for doing what you do! Not for just the perks of set visits, wrap parties or meeting famous people. But for all of the hard work you do day in and day out. Your dedication allows us so much more than monetary "stuff." We are grateful everyday when you walk out of the house in your handsome duds to conquer the movie world.
