I should have believed Scout when he told me that there was a bird in the house. He was so excited, and I thought he was using his imagination. Apparently not.


I’ll say it again…..apparently not.
When I asked Scout about the incident, he said that when he is big and gets his bird…..it will poop “green poop” on the chair too.

I really wanted to take everyone up to L.A to be amongst the funeral attendees, but I had a funeral of my own to attend. So in honor of Michael Jackson, the Cliffords, Brockbanks and my kids did the next best thing. We went down to Laguna’s Main Beach to street perform to the Legend’s music. Skylar was the main performer, Chloe was back up, Calin had the ghetto blaster going, Trey was the $$$ collector, and the rest of us were groupies.

The best little sign holder around!

A special surprise visitor….Belly bustin’ a move!

Skilly had a great little get up. Her shirt said she loved M.J. on the front, and “I’m Bad” on the back. And in honor…..she donned a single “black or white” glove.

Our #1 fan….Bobby. He is 52, and grew up alongside M.J. He was telling Skilly and Chloe all about it. He told Skilly she was going to be famous one day, and everyone had to start somewhere. Then he told her to start really “feeling” it because he could tell she was holding back. He wanted to keep it “real” by telling her that she “stunk” compared to what he knew she could do. She wasn’t a big fan of the last part, but she misinterpreted his intentions of trying to motivate her. Bobbie was darling, and gave her the biggest tip of the day.

Skilly was pretty good, and ended raking in over nine bucks.

The group. Scout and Navy were loving the birds!
Long Live The King!!!
Scout is totally the little guy on the totem pole when Seth’s family is around. But he L-O-V-E-S it! He loves all of the action, and the craziness….even if he does take on the craziness for the month after they leave. The best is that he is the youngest of the bunch, but thinks he is right up there with the two oldest.


Micah said there is a yoga position called “happy baby” where you are on your back and hold your toes. My baby has definitely mastered the pose. Micah was showering and came out to a sleeping baby girl in her favorite pose as of lately, so he snapped some pics. It looks uncomfortable, but I get it because I used to sleep in the middle splits….so she takes after me.


Miss Clifford officially had her first day of school. I was utterly amazed that she had Scout’s attention the entire day. She is obviously a really good teacher. It could also be the curriculum. She incorporated swimming, learning about the letter A, a picnic, more learning about the calendar, and nap time into her schedule. Scout was totally bummed that she left for Utah the next day, because he wanted to go to school again! Here are the details:

I had to sign Scout in, and according to Miss Clifford, I already messed up by not putting my name…..so she added it.

Here is Scout being taught. Notice his monkey backpack that he was so excited to use. Miss Clifford has great legs….don’t you think?

Their picnic came after “Chef Jonas” (how embarassing!) whipped up a delicious and nutritious meal for everyone. And she was thrilled to be invited to the blanket.

Miss Clifford was thrilled that Scout didn’t even get one timeout on his first day. She warned me that she was going to come down with an iron fist if needed. I said, “go ahead”.

The good bye kiss. A little weird between a teacher and her student.
