A lot happened this week. It started off a little rough but ended pretty wonderfully. To start with, David and I have had a little trouble with our downstairs neighbor. Most our immediate neighbor's are the owners of their condos, the girl downstairs rents. She's a server, works until late and then likes to come home blast her music, sing a long loudly and have people over. The problem with this is she likes to do this between 2-4AM throughout the week. David and I have gone down there multiple times, knocked on her door and asked her to pipe down. She would...for like 20 minutes. So my HOA advised me to call the police with a non-emergency noise complaint. We did about a month ago. It was chaos. In a nutshell the police officer started to kick in her front door for failing to open it for them after 15 minutes of him yelling who he was and for her to open up. This didn't last long, she got noisy again, our next door neighbor went and talked to her, it happened again and again. So this time we called the police AGAIN and then our HOA saying, we're done. She didn't take kindly to this. We heard her at 4AM on a Tuesday screaming how we were "Screwing with her life." So I woke up the next morning to go to work and found this....
Really? See here's the thing. We're adults that had gone to her first, in person, to talk to her about her loud habits again and again and she failed to change. So when the Police, the owner and the HOA get involved you'd think you'd wise up. Not for this girl! Instead of going to us to talk it out, she decided to deflate my front two tires. I called AAA, they fixed my tires, I called the HOA who is renting the unit to her, they gave her a week to move out and now we have her pounding on our door at 3AM and running away. Did I mention she's in her 40's? Classy.
Moving on...I've been coming home the last few days and finding fun packages at my door! I now have my "unmentionables", my shoes and my headpiece to wear with my wedding dress. And they are all just as beautiful as they were online. If you look closely you can get a sneak peek at my headpiece!
And then the very best part of the week came....Julie had the baby! She was scheduled for a Cesarean but little baby girl Mathews decided that date was just all wrong for her. We got a text about midnight from Britton saying to expect a slew of more text in the next few hours that they were on their way to the hospital. A couple hours later these wonderful photos starting rolling in...

David got an email asking if he would do some PA work for the travel channel while they were in Park City from Thursday to Sunday, so when Amy asked me to babysit Saturday I said...sure. Plus my neighbor has been turning all Single White Female that I really didn't want to be home alone. I picked up Madison from "Aunt" Karen's house in the Avenues and on our way back to the house I thought, let's stop by and see what's fun and new to rent at a Red Box. We both wanted to see Breaking Dawn but....with a 11, 9, 5 and 3 year old??? And isn't there a hot and heavy love scene??? NEXT! So we got A Dolphin Tale. That was much more age appropriate and a pretty cute Disney movie. I didn't take any photos but I did find some of another time I had the two tinies over to be watched. So I'll post those photos with the following story....
\The story goes like this- A Dolphin Tale is over, it's way past bedtime so I instruct everyone to brush their teeth and head to bed. It's way, way past Lillian's bedtime, she get's up, stumbles around like a drunk and mumbles something about me reading her a book. I said I would but head upstairs to bed while I turn off the movie and lights. I walk over to turn off a lamp, glance at the stairs and see one tiny little toddler with her "blanklie" that 3x's her size and weight stiffen up and fall backward down most the stairs and straight on her back. I run over to her, kind of laughing (I'm terrible but it was kind of funny) I pick her up and cradle her and say "Oh those terrible stairs. Stupid stairs. Say, Stupid stairs!" Through her crying she says, "Mommy doesn't let me say, Stupid" Oops. So trying to make her laugh and distract her, I tell her to say something else silly and she does, still hysterically crying. So I say "Oh Sweet Pea...What can I do?" And through her trauma and tears she manages to say, "Uhmmm, you can read me Ariel and get me more chocolate milk." I nixed the chocolate milk but said I would read the Little Mermaid. I put her in bed, grab the book when she grabs my other hand and says, "Is your hand warm?"
What? Uh...I think so? "I'm sewius Aunt Ajen, is your hand warm?" Yeah, I think so. "Okay...you can go ahead and scratch my back, too." Oh can I? But I felt so bad about her falling down the stairs, I complied. Little stinker!
