And we are half way thru Fall Break

It’s half way thru Fall Break. Half way half way

William is finally asleep I can finally breath a little. Today has been… a day. But I will get to that in a bit!!!

Break really hasn’t been going by fast or slow. Which is…. I dunno…. haha. William has already been home with me the last 3 weeks because of his broken arm. So this week with him has been just another I guess. 

I am excited for them to get back to school next week thou. So I can get some shit done! Having William home, for a while he couldn’t go anywhere, couldn’t chance him moving his arm and everything. Now that he’s doing better I have to take him with, which is not the easiest sometimes, wait for Billy to have a day off/be home or set something up with the inlaws to be here with him. I truly am behind on a lot I need to get done. But but but still gotta half week to get thru.

Now back to this first half of Fall Break.

Of course busier than busy. But that’s life. Coops the busiest kid in America I swear. This kid!!!

Saturday 10/1- Cooper’s football game at Spanish Springs. It was a loss an very ugly one at that! But hey… 2pm game time and he always has to be there an hr an half early. So 12:30. William loves watching Coops games. I had my 4th annual Pretty in Ink at 5 Star. I will def a Pretty in Ink blog coming some. So much as always. The good , the bad, the tears. 

Sunday 10/2- Cooper’s modeling 8:30-11:30 Early early. He has class every other Sunday. He’s like their assistant kinda. He “knows” everything. Boys you don’t know everything haha. But they love that he always wants to go first and show right from wrong and get to show off really… After his class we played in Billys arcade for s bit. Nice getting out of the house with William a bit. @4 it was Waters birthday party. Coops acting coach. Amazing amazing woman that has taught Cooper sooo much. He is lucky to have such a truly great person to teach him to be who he wants to be. The difference she has made in his. He has been taking acting classes with her for 3 years now and the difference from 3 years ago then and now is amazing!!! Amazing!!! So we definitely had to go to her birthday party. It was a roast. It was supposed to be a PG roast but… no … no it wasn’t. It was brutal. Of course not as bad as a Comedy Central Roast but…. hahaha!!!! 

Monday 10/3- Cooper had two friends stay the night. Yes you heard me (2) friends!!! He hadn’t had a lot of ‘friend’ time lately sooo. He still had football practice. This was the first practice since William got hurt that him and I have been at practice. I missed going to practice. Ohhh man was it cold! I was so worried about bundling William up I spaced meeee…. slipped my flip flops on no socks in the freezing not all thinking. Booo for socks! I hate sock!!!! Coops friends disappeared! Billy had to go find them. All I was thinking was ‘what am I going to tell their mothers? ‘ Ohh boys… Other than that Lil thing they all were good. 

Tuesday 10/4- Coop went to Roller Kingdom with his friends. He said he was on his butt …a lot… haha. Said he had to relearn to skate. We don’t go skating often. And haven’t been in quite a while. American Horror Story Season 5 on Netflix started. Eeekkkkk…… so yeah! Gaga is in this season. And she’s pretty damn good. When I’m finished with the seasons I’ll do a review. It was definitely good Coop was out with his friends. It’s not at all appropriate for that kid! Hell no!! I watch some interesting tv I know it I admit it. But but my 11yr will not. Haha. Cooper had football practice again. Every Monday-Tuesday-Friday. I didn’t end up going. I still had a lot of work on the computer (still not finish– don’t think I ever will) couponing (I have fallen…. deeep down this black hole… I will be sharing. Yet another blog that willl be out soon soon) Cooper has been doing Vlogaween and I had to get his video out. Plus still still getting the Oct Schedule done! Eeekkk!!! But of course because I wasn’t there, at practice, Coop had an awesome practice. Never fails right. So is my life!

2:am- Today- And that’s when today started!

William started having seizures at 2am this morning. Man-o-man the seizures have been out of control the last month and a half. It’s so hard! It’s hard for me just helping him, dealing, and supporting and and and… yet William is actually going thru and us still just happy and smiley and just the strongest ever! I wanna be him when I grow up! You know, he can just careless about the little crap. Things I wish I could. Like I said in my instagram post this morning ‘ He can never catch a break– unless it’s his arm– ‘ awww my poor baby boy. So normally we bring Billy to work on Wednesdays because Coop has acting 4-6 and William and I go to mommas date. Then we only have one car and Billy drives us all works fabulous. But since Williams seizure activity hadn’t stopped by the time Billy went to work he just drove. We are gotten ready here in a bit to just bring him to acting and Billy will pick him up. I just rather William not have any seizures at momma date. Even thou they are wonderful. We go to Bistro Napa at the Atlantis and they are wonderful. William has had seizures there before and everything but. Just rather him not ya know. 

Alright sothat has been the first have of Fall Break! The second half is just as busy with just as much todo. Jam packed as our life is!! And I will blog it all. Do really feel better blogging all my blahhh… coming up the rest of Coops Vlogaween. Science Project. Vision Board. Acting. Auditions. Football. Filming. Movie. Ohh and I even think there’s more. 

JetBuzz 360

Atlantis Reno’s Fun Center got a JetBuzz 360.

It opened to the public last Friday at 2pm. Coop got to ride it Thursday after Billy and the installers finished installing. Loved it of course. 

It’s definitely something you should check out!! 

Kids… Adults…. Everyone…..

Saturday (cause of course it was Billys day off and he was at work) Cooper even got William on it.

https://youtu.be/yAReO9whu0A

It’s cool because one side controls the driving and the other side the shooting and all that. So when William was on Coop didn’t do any flips or anything just really make it right for William. He started a bit scared but loved it!! Said he was big boy like brother. Really cool. Really touches my heart how much Wiilism looks up to Cooper and wants to be like him. Cute. Big brother – little brother . But in reverse. Love it!!

But the neat thing with this JetBuzz  it can be Autistic friendly!! Love love it!!! 

Silverton Mermaids!

No Vegas trip is complete without seeing the mermaids!!

  
(Yep I’m still finishing my Vegas blogs!! I’m gonna do it damn it!)

So, last year was the first year I knew about the mermaids at the Silverton. And was a must!!! Had to go. Made my life!! Love mermaids. Always wanted to be a mermaid as a kid. Crazy weird but I did. So seeing the mermaids was like making my childhood. I had a pretty interesting childhood. Didn’t really go many places so never woulda been able to go to a place to see one of my favorite things. A whole different topic so just gonna back right out of that and get back to the mermaids. Sooo mermaids. As any and everyone know I have a countdown to Vegas and a list of to do’s every year. The cool thing about Vegas there always are cool new things to do. So when I found out about the mermaids it was a no brainier… A definite must!!! Amazing amazing experience. So of course this year again it was a must!!!

   
    
    
    
 Just awesome!  My inner child just screams. 

    

This was a different girl than last year… Come on Jessica it was a year ago… But it was nice to see a different. But….

   
 But definitely for sure a must every Vegas trip. Silverton isn’t right on the Stip. it is a ways away. But we usually have a rental so it’s worth it. 

 The whole tank is beautiful. As you can see in my video, the fish wanted to be the center of attention haha. 

It was sooo packed this year. What I woulda given to see this as a lil girl! Wow!!

   

 Look at those kids soo excited! Loved it! 

  I just love it! I coulda stayed there for hours watching. 

Until next time beautiful mermaids until next time!  

Omnia

Omnia! 

  
Definite a jaw dropping experience. Mainly because. We have been to Pure. Pure was the nightclub that used to be in the same place before. But ohh how it has changed!!! Into a three-level venue covering 75,000sqft and including an outdoor terrace with a wide panoramic view of the Strip. The club is so big it not only more than doubles the size of PURE, but it also takes over the former poker and World Series tournament rooms at Caesars Palace and where Pussy Cat Dolls where. Like I said jaw dropping! We will say I was impressed haha! 

We went on a Tuesady. I know some great promoters so get in cut the line and all that jazz. Anyways we went on a Tuesday and of course go there early cause it’s what I do. If I’m not early in late…. A whole other topic… Opened at 10. I was gettin in at 10. But they were setting up the queuing areas and I was like really on a Tuesady. I know this is Vegas and all but.. Lines after lines after lines. Like I said I know some auhmazing promoters and we get right in in front on the line. Awesomeness. First they have us go up on the outdoor terrace. Beautiful beautiful over looking the Strip.

  
   
    
   

Then… Freakin then, you go into the main freaking club!!! Wow!!!   

Soo many ppl jammed on that dance floor, soo beautiful, just WOW!! Definitely not Pute anymore. 

   
 Not at all what I was expecting after being to pure. The have definitely gone all out and wow..I know I keep saying that but, haha. 

   
 Definitely a club I recommend and definitely a club I will be back to.
   
 
So packed on this dance floor! Was awesome!

   
 
Nervo was there. Which was freakin awesome cause they were on the Femme Fatale tour with Britney Spears in 2011. I saw. Soo whoo hoo!! 

 
We left around 2ish am and man o man all the queing lines were forever long and packed there’s no way all those ppl were gonna get in! And to think I was thinking really on a Tuesday going in, then coming out like yep their not gettin in! Haha! I was just shocked and impressed!!! 

Great great nite great great experience great great club! I will be back 😉

Vdara

Really such an amazing beautiful place we stayed. Probably the best place place we have stayed at hands down.  

 
It is on the Strip but a lil back. Part of the City Center. There is no parking you have to valet. And there is no casino. Every room is a suite and just amazing. If it wasn’t for The Linq trying to screw us and ‘My Vegas’ we prob wouldn’t even have stayed here. Now I can’t wait to stay here again. 

When I explain it being the best place we have stayed I just might sound like a kid in a candy store… Or maybe a Jessica in a Vodka shop… Either way haha… It is a Forbes 4 star hotel and really the lil things are definitely way! Atlantis (where Billy works) is trying to become Forbes 4 star. So it was a lil recon for him as well.  

 

Like I said before there is no parking, self parking. You have to valet. Which is actually really nice. You don’t have to worry about where you parked ( and in Vegas that’s a good thing haha no leaving your car saying couldn’t find a meter.. Here’s $4 haha) They open your car doors EVERYTIME and greet you with your name. Shockingly most even got our last name right! Which really rarely happens. (When I married Billy he said I’d get used to Tiehm, yeah just about 15yrs later still no not yet ha) Then open the hotel doors. And this happened EVERYTIME. 

Why we didn’t get a pic of the view during the day is beyond me… 

 
It was a beautiful beautiful view. And you look down and it was the pool. But the weird thing the pool closed at 6:pm. Billy said because there were no lights. But beautiful. You pressed a button and the blinds went down and up. Pretty pretty coo. 

There was a full kitchen. One nite we went to A Prime rib place. Ohh so much food. We had soo much food left. We asked for silverware. The sent up while place settings within 15 mins. Was great.  

  
Mini bar was stocked. Never stayed at a lace with a stocked mini bar. Didn’t touch anything of course because didn’t wanna spend $45 on a small bottle of vodka when I had many in my bag. Or what ever the prices were haha. Didn’t look haha. There was a wine bottle opener in the room so we went to a Walgreens that’s on the strip (plus a vendor gave me two bottles) and got wine. How could I not with a tub like this….. 

 

Just was callin my name. Needed a glass of wine and a book. Trust me it’s what I did every morning. 

 
And wine in the morning.. Yes humm Vegas! And I had 3 bottles haha. Couldn’t bring them home so yep yep!! I’ve said this before I could live off of wine, vodka and coffee. My week in Vegas it’s what I do 🙂 

Had my wine in the room that was covered. There was a Starbucks downstairs. Which I visited every morning of course. Vodka is definitely what I drink when I’m out. There is this bar/lounge downstairs. And it’s the lil things I loveee  

  
First of all its Goose mhmmm Goose I’m a sucker for goose. Then the cranberry comes in a craf. Ohh I love!!! The best way I have ever had a vodka cran. And nothing will ever compare. Ohh the lil things that pull at my heart!! I’m such a werido I know it. Haha  

 Just amazing!!!! 
   
Great experience definitely a place worth staying 🙂 

7 dayssss 7 days til Vegas Baby!!

Whoo hoo that’s right just 7 seven days just 1 week.  And I’ll be in VEGAS!!!! I’m just a tad bit excited… Just a tad! Ohh I love Vegas!

 Vegas Vegas Vegas…. Ohh so much fun you are. Vegas Vegas Vegas …. Ohhhh soo much needed you are. Vegas Vegad Vegas… Ohhhh how I love you sooo!!!! 

There really is no other way to spend your annual 23rd. Than in Vegas. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Love it! Love it! Love Vegas! 

Love I get to do and try new things each year. Yet I still get to do the things I love. Vegas is an awesome place that way. Love it!! 

Always new awesome clubs I can get into. Always new awesome places to see and visit. Always fun alone time. Which is well well needed!! I do love going to the show with Billy but man o man I do love my me time. My time just walking the strip and doing me. Just going to the spa and having nothing and no one! Pure amaziness!!!! 

I haven’t even pinned down which clubs I wanna go to. Which is crazy for me! I usually have that all down. Just life has do happened lately. But I’m not gonna stess about it. Because I know it will all fall into place, it will. If always does. Man no one knows how much I need this Vegas trip!  

Ohh Vegas ohh Vegass!! I shall see you in only 7.. 7..7 days…..

It’s 50 days til VEGAS!

My countdown usually starts at the 50 day mark for some reason. But…. Eeekkkk… 50 days til Vegas Baby! I always have my countdown. I love it it’s fun. Unless it’s not really a planned Vegas trip or not really a Vegas Vegas trip. But this is me annual 23rd birthday 😉 yippee. Ohh ohhhh I soo do love Vegas!!! 50 days baby. 

  

Was excited was gonna be in Vegas in my ‘actual’ bday this year. (That’s only happened once) but no no such luck…. It’s okie thou. We will be there Mar 15-19th. So not being there on my birthday birthday just means we won’t miss the leprechaun crawl 😁

Plane tickets were bought like two weeks ago. Of course Billys work paid for him. But I got mine early early this year whoo hoo. When we when to Florida in Nov and had plane issues we got $200 in credit. So my flight was only $49ish. Coo ness. 

Tue-Thursday we are staying at the Linq.   

We have never stayed there and and….. Pretty excited because….. We have a poolside cabana room. Which means we have a poolside cabana all day/nite. Open the door and will be in the cabana and and a cocktail comes by to take bar/drink orders. How freaking awesome will this be. Well I’m thinking any ways :)))) we shall see. The only thing it’s gonna gonna be weird not being up with a view in Vegas. Gonna be a different experience. Whoo hoo. Love that we can always have new and different experiences every year. 

I still need to get a room for Friday nite. Billy got the other nites covered. Which is always sooo freakin nice. I will get Friday. Probably Excalibur or Luxor. I will use my My Vegas. It will get covered or at least discounted. I love My Vegas. I’ll have ta blog about My Vegas some time. 

As always I’ve still got some, well lots o planning to do. But that’s always fun. 

-Amusement Expo show. (The reason Billy goes every March and why it’s paid) Thsnk you Amusement Expo and playing arcade games. Fun times.

-Pool pool pool cabana time. 

-Business dinners. Sooo fun! Amazing food fantasy drinks. Yummm.

-Mermaids. Definitely a must every . Always always now a must to go see the mermaids now. Love mermaid. Who doesn’t. Who doesn’t want to BE a mermaid. Okay maybe just me… Hehehe. 

-Thursday nite and Friday nite we will go to a club. Just gotta see which ones I wanna  😁😁 yippee!!!

Man I really do have sooo much planning to do! But I’ve got 50 days to do so… Eeekkk 50 days til Vegas!

Fisherman’s Wharf ’16

Another fun day after doctors appointments in Stanford. Just walking on the Wharf. San Francisco is only like an hour from Palo Alto. Boys would like in April when we go back to go on a boat tour. Bridge to bridge or something like that. The boys really wanted to this trip but. William can only do so much fun. Haha. 

  
Watching the Sea Lions on Pier 39. Always fun. 

   
There is a submarine you can tour. Pretty cool.

   
 
Another good idea to do next trip. We go back for more doctors appt. April 1st. There was a sign that said no heels. I though was pretty funny. Right by where the submarine was probably on of the coolest museums we have ever been to. (How in the heck did I not get any pictures, not even one, who am I?) It was an arcade video game museum. Billy was in heaven. Games from the 1800 and the thing is every single game worked. Was way cool. Def a place we will have to go back and take pics!!! 

   
   
Times to remember! I really hope they will. 

Florida!

Yes I said Florida! Yes I will be in Florida in 4 days!!! What!!!

 I kinda sorta forgot. Not really forgot just thought I wasn’t gonna get to go. Was gonna have to cancel. With all that is life. All that is William. And all that just flat out sucks recently. Also didn’t wanna get my hopes up for something that might not be. But William is out of the hospital and doing somewhat okay. We are just getting his med levels up and all that. But my mom and in-laws think it’s great to still go and have a lil away from life time. It is a business trip and we will be soooo busy but come on effin Florida! Billy goes every year and I boo hoo. But this year I get to go, this year I get to frickin go. 

So, for the reason. Every year there is a video game convention. One in March in Vegas and this one in November. I go every year to Vegas… Cause come on its Vegas and my birthday. But have never been able to go to Florida. I have never been and even thou we only have to pay for my plane ticket. Still couldn’t afford that. It’s like almost $600 round trip from here to Florida. And that was when we booked a few months ago. Billys work, just like in March to Vegas, pay for his flight, room, car and food. For the whole time. Pretty sweet deal. But this year with me working for A&S I get to goooo…. 

Like I said it is a business trip. Convention during the days and business dinners and drinks at nite 🙂 I’m down!!!! 

I get to go to the beach, and not like just the Cali beach. Like a frickin beach beach. You know what I mean it’s different. So I have heard anyways. This will be my first time. I will (hopefully) get to clear my head a lil. Billy said I’ll still stress and worry the whole time. But I gotta be me. 

I’m excited! 

Roadtrip family op

Very first selfie stick pic!!! Haha. Definitely something to get used to 🙂  

There’s this place we always see driving to Vegas. Covered in graffiti. We always say we will stop next time.  Well we haven’t actually drove to Vegas in like 4 years sooo this time we stopped!  

         A good start to our trip. Boys had fun and that’s what mattered 🙂 

—–I’m really gonna try and get a few blogs out today about the last trip. With less than a week till the next one. Don’t wanna get to to far behind then end up just not:/ That’s what sometimes happens, sadly. But I really wanna blog the whole trip. It’s just truly amazing that we were able to do this. Love my family and hope I continue on every year—–
