VMA recap

Every year I look forward to MTV's Video Music Awards. This year by far has been the most entertaining. It was in early September and its still on my mind. I heard a few things about the 09' VMA's that I thought were interesting. Like when Green Day decided in rehearsal to treat the crew/staff with some classic songs while they worked their sleepless tails off getting ready for the show. One of the crew members said that everyone just stopped working during a complete chaotic time to listen. Also, Billie Joe decided to bring all the fans on stage to make for an even better performace and one of his biggest fans, Pete Wentz of the Falls out Boys, was right there next to him in the middle of everyone. Bringing all the fans on stage was not at all planned and for awhile you couldnt even see Billie Joe but then of course, he was lifted up to do a little crowd surfing and finish the song. that was really cool to watch.
I also learned that Taylor Swift recorded her Subway performance a few months before the VMA's and they were afraid she wasn't going to finish her performance due to the great Kanye West and his hurtful remark.
You would have thought while Pink was flying from a trapeze that she was lip singing "Sober" But she was in fact singing live flying through the air. Thats talent. Im starting to like her more and more. "
I did enjoy Madonnas tribute to Michael Jackson, althought it should have been titled 'A tribute to Michael Jackson and Myself'
And I thought Janet did a great job dancing on stage. You could tell there was some emotion in her performance, but it could have just been her old age catching up to her.
my last thoughts......A recap of the 2009 VMA's could be put in a few words
"Think before you speak or act" and that would be for Kanye, Little Mama and the host, Russell Brand.
I realize most of my blog readers arent really interested in this topic. But I wanted to get it out of my head and share it with who ever wants to read it.

hanging out

Lately I have been trying to spend as much time with Cruz as possible. I dont know what its going to be like with two , but I do know my time and energy will have to go toward the baby when she comes.
I have also been working on getting the house finished. Our friends have been helping out so much. It takes me so long to finish projects these days. My belly just seems to get in the way.
Dale has been working really hard and has been recovering from having his wisdom teeth removed.
Thats all I can say for now...


Dale gave Cruz a hair cut
I told Cruz I wanted to take a picture of him in his boots and he walked all the way over to the opposite side of the room so I could take a picture.

Cruz built and painted a race car, he wore his handy Home Depot apron while working.


We built a fort on his bed, he loves when I try to squeeze in there. I usually stay awhile because it takes so much effort to get in and out.

Dale and Josh worked on the kitchen floors and MJ and the kids brought over some yummy chilli, we ate in the babies room while our kitchen is out of service.
