Happy Easter!

The angel said to the women,

"Don't be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who has been crucified.

He is not here.

He has risen from the dead as he said he would.
(Matthew 28: 5-6)

Praying you are having a beautiful Easter Sunday!

Just another very blessed day Being Billingsley...

Dancing With The Stars Billingsley Style

Well, our little judge was a little distracted tonight, but she had plenty to say about tonight's big show...

Evan: "I'd like him more if he had different hair. That's dumb hair."

Niecy: "She dances SO good."

Kate: "I've never seen anything like this in my entire life." (I have to agree with her here... really wise words.)

Erin: "Favorite dance of the night. I like how her dress doesn't have any parts on the back." (Don't worry. She didn't see how Erin nearly lost some "parts" out the front of her dress!)

As for Buzz Aldrin, James and I think he and his wife must have gotten a 2 for 1 deal on face lifts.

Abbie was even less impressed with our favorite stretch faced astronaut. She thought she and her father could do A LOT better than him. You get to be the judge of that...

We ended up splitting our votes tonight between Chad Ochocinco (because Mommy thinks he is dreamy) and Nicole (because her Daddy thinks she is dreamy).

Just another day, Being Billingsley...

She's A Dancin' Machine

We all know Abbie loves to dance, but I bet you didn't know she is the unofficial fourth judge of Dancing With The Stars.

My girl knows her dance, and she has no time for "dancers" who don't mind proper technique. Here are a few thoughts from her regarding some of tonight's performances...

Niecy Nash: "She's just good."

Evan Lysacek: "Doesn't look good...except for his face."

Jake Pavelka: "He's sorry."

Kate Gosselin: "This seems long."

Buzz Aldrin: "I'm thinking a 13 for him. He's got an old nose. Maybe he should just dance on the moon."

Well, there you have it folks... She really is an expert. Should you ever have a question regarding the show this season, feel free to send it to me.

Maybe you want to know, "How can Pamela Anderson put 'actress' on her bio?" or, "Do we really need 12 more weeks before Nicole Scherzinger is declared the winner?" I'll make sure she gets it, and she would be happy to answer it for you every Monday.

Stay tuned every week for more from your Fourth Judge!

Just another day managing my daughter's new career and Being Billingsley...

Jersey Mania!

What is with this obsession with Jersey women caricatures? Just think of what could happen if these women would use their powers for good instead of using them to apply too much eye make-up, layer on fake tans, and defy gravity with big hair.

Why do people find them entertaining? Surely it's not for their style. I mean you have to be a special piece of trash to pull that look off. Let's experiment with the online Jersey make-over...

Test #1:

Well, this obviously doesn't work because, I can't pull off that much lipstick on my teeth.

Test #2:

Again, this doesn't work. The hair is too big to fit in the frame, and that much eyeliner could have been used to tar those wretched Jersey roads. Furthermore, I can't make lipstick on the teeth work.

Test #3:

Wow, just look at how badly I work that fake tanned face and white neck combo. Additionally, I can't maintain that eye shellacking.

So, we've proven it here... Leave these make-overs to the professional trash of Jersey Shore and Jerseylicious.

8 Months!

Lila, you are one sassy girl....

You are 8 months old today and under the impression that you run the joint. I LOVE IT!

It's been a busy month for you:

• You got your first two teeth!
• After approximately 248 tries, you are finally able to wear a bow in your three beautiful blonde hairs.
• You've been able to sit up for about a month now, but today you decided to put yourself in a seated position after being on your tummy. It was done mostly in protest to your afternoon nap.
• When you get on all 4's, you like to rock, but don't seem all that interested in crawling yet. Your sister was the same way! I like to consider that a "Thank You" from you both for being such a good Mom.
• Another thing you do like your sister did is take your diaper off when you are in your crib. That's all I'm going to say about that...
  
• You discovered how to get the Gerber Multi-Grain Puffs into your mouth. They are your favorite snack, and you aren't the least bit scared of them sticking to your face, belly, high chair, kitchen floor, dog, or fingers.
  
• You still love to eat. We're at about 4 times a day now and still 2 table meals a day. We've added a mid-day snack of Puffs and water.
• You are still a great sleeper... 12 hours a night and 3 naps a day.
• You must have an audience. Playtime will never work unless there is at least one other person sitting on the blanket watching you.
  

Everyone still comments on how much you look like your Dad, but your little personality is really all Mommy!

I love you, sassy little thing!!!!!

Just another day of celebrating and Being Billingsley...

I Can Quit Anytime...

Well, it's easy to quit when the bag of Tootsie Rolls that was purchased yesterday is completely empty!

I've decided to get a handle on this addiction stuff.
So, I promise not to eat one piece of that fruit in the background.

Just another day of dipping into the Easter Bunny's stash, and Being Billingsley...

Happy St. Pat's!

This picture depicts the two personalities so well. It really cracks me up.

Just another day Being Billingsley...
