THRILLER thrills you

The polls are closed and Thriller is your fav MJ video with Billie Jean coming in a fairly close second.

In honor of the winner, here is a recreation done by some very talented Phillipino prisoners. I love that his girlfriend is being played by a (hot chola) man.

If I ever have to go to prison I sure hope it is in the Phillipines. They've got choreography! American prisons are SO boring.

If you have some time to kill, check out the rest of their videos on YouTube.

Jon from Jon and Kate needs a date

After watching the Michael Jackson memorial coverage (which I found to be beautiful, tasteful, and touching) nonstop, it's time for a laugh!

The King of Pop is the King of Videos

I've watched more than my fair share of Michael Jackson coverage.

CNN, FOX NEWS, and MSNBC have it on pretty much nonstop.

I even registered to win tickets to his memorial in L.A. on Tuesday.

(I did not win, not sure what I would have done if I had,

probably tried my darndest to get myself there).

Even in my sadness and state of mourning,

I have thoroughly enjoyed the MJ videos that

VH1 and MTV have been playing.

Which leads me to my poll, The King of Pop had many, many great videos.

Which one is your favorite?

Vote on my poll on the right hand side of the screen.

The pool is open for business

Our pool is finally open! After waiting and waiting for the new liner to get put in we finally have a pool that is swimworthy.

Before

(It looked too bad to show the before this before pics)
Residing in the pool before the old liner was removed was a
5 1/2 long snake, 100's of tadpoles, snails, and LOTS of frogs (yes, I was VERY freaked out).

AFTER

Jack is thoroughly enjoying the pool.

After it being open only one and a half weeks, he is SO brown and his hair is

pretty much white.

I am happy to report after last week's swim lessons with

Stephen Frichtl (who I highly recommend) Jack is now

totally floaty free.

Harry likes the water!

We love having people over to swim.

Having a pool is no good if no one is swimming in it.

Give us a call if you want to come over and take a dip!

PLAY BALL!!

Jack's ball season is half over (thank God).

The magic pants and shoes arrived before the first game. I was fairly certain that once Jack had all his gear on he would play at a 5th grade level at the very least.

Stupidly I did not try the pants or shoes on Jack before game day. The pants were too small. Really, really tight around the stomach. I made him wear them anyway. The shoes were also on the small side and really hard to get on with his black baseball socks. I made him wear them anyway.

He did look cute

(no one said looking good comes easy)

unlike the rest of his outfit, his Bee's hat was on the large side

The first time on base.

Heading for second....

A much needed break after that long run.

Back in the game.......

Jack says he likes playing ball.

His favorite part seems to be the free soda at the "session" stand after the game.

I did purchase Jack another pair of pants. The next pair were way too big.

We gave up and I have just been letting him wear shorts.

Just wait until next year when Jack has a uniform that really fits.

He will be so good that if there were crying allowed in baseball, you would cry.

Harrison is 7 months old

Harry is 7 months old today.

You can check out the results of his recent photo session with

Are these not the cutest pictures you have ever seen?
(of course pictures of your kids are cuter, you have to say that)

Amber does amazing work.

Pictures with her are pretty much painless.

I'm sure having such a cute subject makes her job that much easier.

Remember Michael~~~one line at a time

I said you wanna be startin' somethin'

You got to be startin' somethin'

It's too high to get over (yeah, yeah)

Too low to get under (yeah, yeah)

You're stuck in the middle (yeah, yeah)

And the pain is thunder (yeah, yeah)

YEAH, YEAH

It's a sad day

What a day.

First Farrah lost her battle with cancer.

I think the picture below is how most of us will remember her.

AND THEN.....
The King of Pop is dead




Michael Jackson.







He was our Elvis.

Bad blogger

I've been bad at keeping my blog updated lateley. I could blame it on the heat, but the air conditioner is located a foot from the computer. It's actually almost cold sitting here.

• I missed my blog's second anniversary. Sarah Sez is two years old! My baby sure has grown.
• We finally got our pool open and swimworthy. The new liner looks great. I have before and after pictures that I will share soon. Jack wants to be in the pool every moment he is awake. With Harry's fair complexion and breathing problems he can't be outside in the heat and sun that much, so that leaves Jack none to happy. He has been pretty lucky to have friends over that he can swim with while I stay inside with Harrison.
• Even though the pool was filled with super cold water straight from the water truck it only took about two days for it to be warm enough for even me (who likes it warm) to swim in.
• Can you believe Sarah Jessica Parker named her babies Marion and Tabitha? I hope she is paying homage to Mrs. C from Happy Days and Tabitha from Bewitched.
• I just asked Jack to sing the God Bless America song he learned at VBS. Instead he sang the ENTIRE theme song from American Dad (the adult cartoon on Fox). I am such a good Mom ;) I don't think I will ask him to perform at the Bierman's annual fourth of July bash.
• Harrison really needs to learn how to crawl. He is great at rolling. Really good at it. He gets himself rolled into a corner and can't get out then cries until I come and get him.-
• I spent WAY too much time searching for a Fourth of July outfit for Harrison. I finally gave up and got something (and it was cute and just fine) from Old Navy and a Old Navy flag T for Jack. Not what I had in mind, but it will do. I don't remember wearing holiday outfits as a child. Now, it seems like you need to get some sort of a t-shirt or special outfit for Valentine's Day, Independence Day, Earth Day, Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Not to mention Christmas, Easter, and Halloween which all require a new special outfit, but also some sort of a t-shirt to wear to school or the grocery store.
• Jack is playing ball. I also have pictures of that to post. I already don't like the ballpark. I know it will be my summer home away from home for the next 15 years or so.
• Cliff left for work Sunday night and won't be home until Saturday evening. Spending every single minute of every day with the kids by myself is starting to take a huge toll on me. Sleep is a precious commodity that Harrison does not seem to realize the value of.
• I am almost embarrassed to admit that I watched "I'm a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here". Not religiously, but I was glad Lou Diamond Phillips won. Patti Blago seemed like an ok, normal gal. I hope she does not go to jail.
