Stupid Videos by The Dugo Girls

I have a friend on Facebook (she's part of the Crazy Kniepp Family link on the left side). Her name is Roni and she always creates these hilarious videos with her husband. She lip syncs to the greatest of songs and so we thought it would be fun to create a video for her. 

The kids and I got together and got the ingredients for singing the song Victor Victor and Freddie Vasco.  It's a "mexican" style song that sings about Victor & Freddie and how they ate a burrito with tobacco and they put it on their rice, bean, rutabaga and collard greens. Never knew what a rutabaga was until this video!

Here's our family production of being silly for Roni & the Kniepp family:

Here's another video of the girls singing Jesus Take The Wheel by Carrie Underwood. It's their all-time favorite DVD in the car!

December 2008 Update

 

We started out December by celebrating Danny's (Uncle Mo Mo's) Birthday at Hana Japan. Since it's the kids favorite place to go, it wasn't hard to convince them to celebrate with Uncle Mo! Grandpa & Grammy joined us along with Dave and his boys, Nic & Christian.

    

  

As with every December, 'tis the season for Christmas cheer, decorations galore and getting some sort of sickness. With our family of 6, we had it on and off for 3+ weeks. That part sucked. The Monday before Christmas was when I came down with a cold and cough. Within a few days Brayden had it and so did Bella. During Christmas dinner I came down with the flu. Throwing up and *other things* all night long. 24 hours after me, my Dad got it. Then Bella, then Milenko, then Brayden (again), then Lauren & Lexie. Dan didn't get it until AFTER Christmas. However, it was a doozie!

  

We didn't get the chance to do any Christmas parties and didn't even get to do all the family things we do with the extended families. We were all a little too under the weather. Christmas was simple and nice this year. Funny how we can't wait for the holiday to get her and once it is here, we can't wait for it all to be over! Something is wrong with that picture!

  

   

On Christmas Day I had my parents & brother, Dan, over for Christmas dinner. We usually do Christmas Eve with the entire Gardner family and go to Milenko's family on Christmas but things got a little changed around. Dave, Michelle & the boys went up to Etna for Christmas so it wasn't the same. We didn't even see Milenko's family until the weekend when we all were a little healthier and that was only for 5 minutes. :(

  

  

  

  

 

Brayden has been practicing his dancing with the girls lately. The only unfortunate thing about that is that his idea of dancing is twirling around like the Dancing Princesses in the Barbie movies. Great, my son doesn't hip hop, he pirouettes! Check out the video below of our little "PRINCE" charming. Lauren helps him dance in this video clip.

For New Years' Eve, we were all pretty sick. Milenko and I celebrated at 11pm for a whole minute. We stayed up and put on Dick Clark's NYE party on TV and fell asleep 10 minutes before midnight. We didn't wake up until about 15 minutes after the new year rang in. HAHA! That seems about normal for us old folks. :-)

So to end the year....let's talk New Years' Resolutions....

WE DON'T HAVE ANY!!!!!!  Okay, the only REAL resolution is NO MORE KIDS. We've taken care of that resolution! 

NOVEMBER 2008 UPDATE

Every November we start our month off with a bang. Celebrating Bella's birthday! This year, Bella made it to the big 6. On her actual birthday, we went to Hana Japan (like Benny Hana's) with the family and with one friend. As always, it's Donna's daughter and Bella's bestest friend, Alyssa. After our dinner we went home and had an Ice Cream cake that Alyssa, Bella & Lexie picked out. It was cute to see them interact with each other the entire night. They actually ate most of their food too!

   

 

On the weekend is when we celebrated Bella's birthday. We had to cancel it the first weekend due to the rain and then we almost had to cancel it again because of the rain but the forecast said "a slight chance of rain." 

  

I highly doubt that Bella will ever ask Daddy to help her with blowing out the candles after he shoved her face into the cupcake....

 

That slight chance happened a few times during the party and we had to bring the party inside - all 32 people - wet people - sigh! We took advantage of opening presents inside while it was drizzling outside.

  

 

  

Lauren is our amateur photographer in the house. She seems to find a way to my purse to grab the point and shoot. Here are just a few pictures she took when I wasn't looking at her. Pretty good for a 2 year old!

  

Lauren took Brayden out for a spin during the week. Lexie joined in for some fun too. Good thing Bella wasn't around - otherwise we'd run out of seats. Although this is the Escalade, I don't think it's quite large enough for all of my kids just yet!

  

I always have a camera ready to take photos - no matter where they are. Then there are those times that I'm a pure scrapbooker and know that I have certain layouts and designs for a page and just need the pictures to go on the page. Hence, the reason for the leave photos - perfect for the fall pages that I want to do. Some people take pictures and then scrapbook them. I take pictures to match with my scrapbooks!

 

 

On November 17th, Christian turned 4. I swear he was only born yesterday. We did a small family get together at Chuck E. Cheese's pizza with all of Christian's family, Michelle's sister & boyfriend and Grandpa. It was pretty fun!

  

  

  

Anna's boyfriend, Nick, just signed with the LA Dodgers. He's off to training camp in Arizona (I think) next year. It was pretty exciting to hear the news especially when another major league team was also trying to nab him. Looks like LA gets him though. :)

Last but not least, Thanksgiving ends the month of November. Lexie woke up on Thanksgiving Day and was completely sick. She threw up a few times and we just didn't want to take the chance of having her around Milenko's family and their guests when she wasn't feeling well. 

   

I sent Milenko onto his parent's house with Bella, Lauren and Brayden. They seemed to have had a good time. Lexie and I on the other hand had a perfect Thanksgiving. We snuggled on the couch and I made Top Ramen. We had Martinelli's "champagne" and for desert - Thin Mints. Absolute Heaven! We sat and watched Hairspray and she had a complete smile the entire day.
