The Preachers Wife, no really...

So...yes, I am officialy the wife of the (not so) FAMOUS Reverend DOOBIE! Almost 2 years ago our good friends, Candace & Justin, aprroached Craig about becoming ordained and performing their wedding ceremony. At first, we took it as a joke and sorta put it on the back burner. Justin & Candace had postponed their wedding so time went on and we really thought they would forget about the request. Well, they didn't! Craig became ordained online (and yes it is legit)! The paperwork took about 2 weeks and now he can officially marry couples! He was so excited when his package arrived in the mail - it came with a little card he can carry in his wallet (you know, next to his unicard) and a "CLERGY" sticker for his car. HAHAHA!

Here are a few pics from the Yaross-Mayer Extravaganza! The ceremony was beautiful and you would thought he had performed a 100 prior! They did a great job in picking someone to marry them! Craig was very honored!

Getting ready for the ceremony to begin with the Groom & Best Man

The Son of A Preacher Man....(you know - the song...)


Doing His Job...

With all seriousness.....

Congratulations Candace & Justin!

The wedding was beautiful and very memorable!

Are these my children?

My grandmother celebrated her 71st Birthday on August 7th so our family went out to Shogun's to celebrate! After the meal we were graced with cupcakes to top off the event. My children decided that the icing would be better on the face instead of in the mouth! I have decided I am not taking them in public ever again! ;)

NOW I KNOW MY ABC'S....

Hank is getting so good at singing his ABC's and this was the first chance I had to get a quick video of him. He woke up in such a great mood this morning and was singing away in the bath tub! He is generally NOT a morning person and I can't imagine who he gets that from! :)

Enjoy...

Potty Training....

We are really trying to work on potty training Hank. It isn't exactly going the way we want, but it is going. Hank does just fine at Missy's during the day using the big boy potty, but when he gets home at night I think he just gets comfortable and forgets. So it is still a work in progress. Lastnight before bed I walked into my bathroom and found Hank - he said he needed to poop! HAHA! He is such a big boy!

Atleast he was trying!

JAZZERCISE ADDICT & MORE....

OMG! I finally found a workout session that I LOVE! If you know me well enough - you know Tab doesn't work out - OBVIOUSLY! But Melissa's sister, Ashley, has been on us to join forever now! Melissa started and then I gave it a TRY! I LOVE LOVE LOVE it. Now, I am not the most coordinated person by any means - but I can get the groove going just about the time we are finished with the set :) I know I will eventually get it!!! But I am working out - that is a big step for me! You should join, as long as you don't take my spot at the back of the room!!! (Oh, and if you do go - tell them Paris Baby sent you)

Melissa & I went to Dallas Market yesterday and picked some really cool products! We are very excited to get them in the store! New products have been arriving weekly! It is just like Christmas time when a box comes!

I promise I will post pics next blog!

AMERICAN IDOL!!!!

So.....

I would say that I am a HUGE fan of American Idol and was so BLOWN AWAY by the results of lastnight's show. Kris Who? (don't judge me yet) I was a DANNY GOKEY & ALLISON IREHETA fan from the beginning. Each week as Craig & I watched the show I just knew that "crooked mouth" was the guy going home....being as I couldn't even remember his name. As Simon would say, he was "forgettable". But apparently American never forgot about him. So as the weeks went on, I too, became a KRIS ALLEN fan! He was truely the underdog. I mean, I couldn't even remember his name. I nearly cried when my 2 favs were voted out and even Julie in my office banned AI and erased future recordings from her DVR when Danny Gokey didn't get thru to the final 2.



I always give Melissa a hard time because she doesn't watch AI. Here I know everything about the contestants except their blood type and she doesn't know who I am talking about. :) I guess I am sorta a freak about this season for some odd reason....I never watched AI before like this season.



So the final show was AWESOME! I LOVE NORMAN GENTLE! I think it was definately better than the superbowl by all means! Still sad that Danny Gokey didn't make it - but I will be the first to join his fan club and buy a CD!



So Adam....I like Adam - he was dramatic...but very likeable. He will definately make it far!



So I am sad about AI coming to and END. I would die for tickets to the the tour!!! So I will leave you with one small tribute to AI!

If I drank coffee - this is DEFINATELY what my cup woud look like!

Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What do you See?

I see little Hanker looking at me!

These glasses actually belong to Mr. Potato Head. Hank loves to play with them when he goes to Nana's house. He will wear these the entire time he is there. Too funny! I think that Cricket is a bit jealous, though! :)

Have a happy Tuesday and I do promise I will be a better blogger! :)
