On Saturday we celebrated Buddys B-Day (it was on Feb. 24th). Here's all the fun... The guys got wrapped up in a big game of Wii bowling and golf. They were attached to the TV all night long. Gift Time.... he got an Ipod and accessories, a shirt, booze and a drink mixer, but i think the top gift of the night was found by Kelly that day at the antique store.....a nut cracker. what is Brooke doing while Buddy is opening gifts you ask? Just trying to fit almost all of her fingers into her nose.... thats our Brooke!!
So the past couple of days rob and i have noticed that the carpet was wet right by the bathroom entrance. Yesterday i called up to the office and they sent a service man right over. He got into the access panel in the closet and discovered that there was a huge crack in the shower pipe and that the overflow "bucket" had...overflowed. They had to use a shop-vac to suck up all the water and it filled the house with what smelt like 20 stink bombs. NASTY! They then told me that i needed to clear out the closet and that a plumber would have to come by the next day (today) to make the repairs. I had to leave work around 9:30 and the plumbers showed up at about 11:00ish. They told me that they were going to have to use a jack hammer on the closet floor to get access to the pipe that was busted. Its now 3:30 and they are still working on it......hopefully we can take a shower and get semi back to normal. here are some shots i sneaked when they left the apartment for a bit.....
Every time Bella gets done with a bath she turns into a ball of energy (even more so than she already is!) She does this speed race thing around the house and if rob and i are totally still she will go for a while. its soo funny to watch...
Both Ryan Gosling and Evander Holyfield were at the hotel where the wedding was. Unfortunately i didn't get the chance to see Ryan (I made Rob run around the hotel with me in search for him.) but Rob got to meet Evander and even take his picture! Rob, Dar and Kabir ran to the elevator that Evander was getting on and made it just in time. This pic is from Dars phone. after he took it he said "lets trash talk tyson!" ahhahaha too funny!
Our friend Kabir invited us to his sister Henna's wedding. It was soo freakin cool! It was at the Millennium Biltmore in LA. We got a room at a nearby hotel and stayed the night. it was like a mini vacation and it was great! The first half are some shots at the hotel and scenic stuff, then the awesome wedding. I wish i could have gotten better pictures inside the reception because it was gorgeous, but my little camera could only do so much..
If you look closely you can see the Hollywood sign! View from inside the elevator.. For those of you who dont know, rob only likes to talk on the phone in his right ear. so if he has to write something down this is what it looks like.. This is the groom, Chad. He road up to the entrance on a white horse and we all followed.
Then when he got there they had a drummer and dancers and had all the groomsmen dancing - it was super cool. Here's a little video of the dancing...
This, unfortunately, was the only picture i got of Henna and Chad It was an amazing experience and we were soo excited to be invited!
So duck. i had never had duck before and as rob was preparing dinner he tried to convince me that it was the "dark" meat of the chicken. Nice try rob. i muscled thru it and ate all but two pieces. Never having duck before i had nothing to compare it to, but it was a lot better than i thought it would be. So it was duck with cipollini onions, risotto, zucchini and yellow squash.
