Thank Goodness for Grandparents

 

Alan: "Hi Dad, just giving you a heads up. We will be leaving out in about 30 minutes."

 

 

Mr. Dotson: "Hey there. I was just wondering when you were leaving out."

Alan: "I wanted to take Tanner for a quick walk. I must tell you Tommy and Nikki are not the least bit tired. They are in top form. I hope your are ready."

Mr. Dotson: "Hmm, don't you worry about me, I got skills. I know what to do for them. Feed them, turn the TV to the Disney Channel and it a wrap. They will be out within an hour."

 

Tommy: "zoooooommmm."
Nikki: "weeeeeeeeeee."
Tanner: "woof, woof."

 

Alan: "Stop that Tommy. You don't want you sister to fall off and hurt herself. "
Tommy: "No Daddy no. I stop."
Tanner: "wooooof."

 

Mr. Dotson: "Hee, hee, relax Alan. Soon it will be just you and Madison. No kids, just enjoying the sound of the ocean."

Alan: "You got that right. I was hoping to leave Tanner but Madison wants to bring him along too. Since you got the kids no need to leave you with the dog too."

Mr. Dotson: "Smart women. I agree."

Tommy: "Daddy look. Just like Grandpa."
Nikki: "ya, ya Grandpa."

Alan: "Boy, these two together. Just busy."

Mr. Dotson: "I'm having second thought now Beauty. The way Alan sounds, they must be wired up."
Beauty: "WOOF."

Mr. Dotson: "I tell you, relax. Just take your time and be careful. I will see you when you get here. Be safe."

 

Alan: "Come on, let's see what taking Mommy so long."
Tommy: "Ok Daddy. I get Mommy."
Nikki: "mommiieeee, mommiee."

Alan: "Hey Honey, what in the world is taking you so long. I ready to drop these kids off and get going."

Madison: "You hear that Paris. Do you here your daddy rushing us."

Tommy: "Come on Tanner. Eat, Eat."
Nikki: "eat."
Tanner: "woof"
Nikki: "heee, hee."

Alan: "Tommy, do not open the refrigerator or you are going to get your hands popped."
Tommy: "Ok Daddy. Tanner no eat."
Nikki: "heee, hee. No eat."

 

Madison: "Let's go see what all the ruckus is about. I think your daddy is getting really anxious."

Madison: "What is all this I am hearing down here?"
Paris: "mmm, mmm, eeoo."
Alan: "If it not the most beautiful women I know. Got a minute."
Madison: "Hello, baby in hand."

Alan: "Mmmm."
Paris: "daa, daaaa."
Madison: "mmm"

Madison: "Here you take baby goo-goo while I go comb Nikki hair. We can be sitting on the beach by sundown."
Alan: "Deal!."

Alan: "Madison, I love you."
Madison: "Yes, I know. I just hope you have more kisses for me."
Alan: "Yes! Plenty."

 

Alan: "I just love that women Paris. Love her."



Madison was formally Mattel's AA Happy Family Neighborhood Midge and Nikki 1st Birthday set.
Her original outfit consisted of a fitted purple and pink stripped top, beige embellished capris and lavender shoes. Nikki wore a pink jumper embellished with a  applique and trimmed with a ruffle and pink shoes. The birthday gifts include a puppy who comes with toys, bed, food, water dish. The dog has a magnetic nose that allow him to pick up his toys. The is also a birthday hat, gift bag, blanket and birthday cake that completes the set.

Tanner was part of Mattel's Barbie Forever Barbie Doll with Tanner the dog. He is soft and fuzzy and his mouth open so he can be feed. His ears move and his tail moves. He came with a leash, dog biscuits, dog bones and chew toys. If you push the tail up you can feed him biscuits but he will need to go to the bathroom too. He came with a magnetic scooper and trash can so you will be able to clean up after him.


Have a great week everyone.
 

Happy Memorial Day!

Cara:" Hi Everyone. I know it has been awhile since you've seen me but I haven't been up to much, Just working. I wanted you to meet my BFF Brianna. I was hoping she would stop by today and she brought the twins too. Say hello Briana to all my wonderful friends."

Brianna: "Hi Everyone! I want to apologize first for not getting here sooner. I run a public relations firm who represents Vanessa and her modeling friends. I was formally AA Working Woman Barbie.  My outfit consisted of a long sleeve gray color jacket with small buttons down the front, a matching tight fitting gray skirt that reverses to a red shimmering flared one. So it gives me an all-in-one Office to Party Look! I also have a pair of gray that match my grey suit but I have a pair of red ones too that match my going out look. My accessories includes a pair of Faux Pearl Button earrings  and matching necklace, black Tote Purse,  a black Cell Phone, a black Coffee Mug, a gray pretend laptop computer and a pretend "Magazine" called Working Woman. I also came with a computer CD-ROM that works with your Computer that helps you design your own stationary, personalize your own magazine, play lots of activities. I can talk without the cd too. I have button on my back the let's me say a few cool phrases. Like I have email, I love going to work." Oops, see there the marketing side of me coming out! I'm going on an on."

Cara: "Tell me about it, yadda, yadda, yadda, lol! So anyway here are few pics from the visit."

 



Brianna: "Anyway, as soon as I walked in the door I was greeted by my goddaughter Stacy. She has grown so much! I remember when she was born and I said I wanted my own little girl."

Cara: "Yeah, now you have two! I was so happy they were up too. They were so excited to see all these new faces. Even my brother couldn't help but fall in love with them. All Kelly was saying was two bbaabbiee, twwooo babies."

Brianna: "Even Kayla was asking me how in the world did I carry around 8lb little girls. Your sister-in-law said she was too tired to carry around a 9lb baby. I told her it was by the grace of God. Hee, Hee, the Lord knows he was with me for the whole 9 months."

Cara: "Here is one of my favorites my dad took. I think Stacy was just glad you were there."
Brianna: "She really was, she was stuck to me asking me when was I going to pick her up so she could tell her mother."

Cara: "Sound just like her too. Always making plans like her grandmother!"

 

 

Cara: "Here is the picture of my brother Nathan and his wife Summer. I am holding my newest niece Krissy. My brother was formally Mattel's Star and Strips AA Marine Corps Ken. Dressed in the his "Dress Blues" uniform. He was shinning like a new penny. I can't recall who Summer used to be I just know she is now my sister-in-law. Krissy is the original Mattel Barbie Swing -N- Play AA Krissy that came with all the accessories a new baby needs.  They promised they would be back soon so I hope so"

 

Brianna: "I'm glad I stopped by, even if my husband was too busy. Your family and friends are my family and friends too."

 

 

Cara and Brianna: "Take time to remember all those who are missed today. Have a great week!"

A girl just can't get away.

Dad: "Hello Babygirl, it a beautiful day. What are you doing??"

Cara: "Hi Dad, just working on a project. Well actually trying to resolve a problem. What's going on with you?"
Dad: "It's the weekend, your suppose to be out and about. Curtis called the house before I left to see if you had stopped by. Let me guess, is he trying to put "chains" on you?"
Cara: "Hee, hee, hee. What are you talking about?"
Dad: "Girl you know chains, tabs, tether, you know whatever you hard working women call it now. You know, you're a big time money maker. Especially working this weekend. You should be hanging out not hiding out. Are you at the beach house?"
Cara: "Haaa, Haaaa. It definately not chains! It called a 3 carat. You know the one that goes on the wedding finger. Yes, I figured I come out here where it's quiet and I can get things done. I even have Chanel with me (meow). Where are you?"
Dad: "Just a 3 carat. You need to reach for 6, S-I-X. You know he likes classic cars and he sure loves that Porsche. So go for 6."
Cara: "Where are you anyway?. Now you know where I'm at. I hear alot of talking in the background."

Dad: "At the flower show. You know I like that Ms. Leo who you can find here, she is alright with me. Anyone who like to play in dirt and grow beautiful things is alright with me, yes indeed. Good thing she reminded me. I had no plans to hang out and look at textiles and stuff."
Cara: "Alrighty then. Where's Mom?"

Dad: "Where else but spending money. She went to look at rugs, linen and something else. I zoned out after she asked me for the credit card, you know the one I pay. You know I can't protest or else she won't cook AND bake for me anymore, hee, hee. I'm too old to starve, hee, hee."

Cara: "Hee, hee, you sure would starve. I thought Alan was stopping by today?"
Dad: "If I don't have your mother with me, what makes you think I want him with me today? Don't get me wrong I love my first born son but the planting and gardening is my thing. No way!! I love the grandkids but not today."

Cara: "Oh no, what was I thinking, right! Your just the added break I needed. After I finish my lunch I will get back into the grind. I think I'll be staying here tonight anyway. Hold on Dad, Sae calling me. Hey Sae what's going on?"

Vanessa: "You! Where are you? Me and Curtis are heading out to enjoy the day. You need to get out today and enjoy this weather."
Curtis: "Hey Baby!"
Cara; "Hold on Sae, my Dad is on he other line. Dad, it's Sae and Curtis on the other line. Tell Mom I said hello and I will talk with you later."
Dad: " Hey, I'm the important one, hee hee. I see they found you. Don't work to hard, honey. Remember 6 carats!! Just let go, let God, he will make everything right. Bye."
Cara: "Sorry Sae, I was talking to my Dad or better yet he was talking. I'm at the beach house trying to resolve a design problem. I wish..."
Curtis: "Hey Babe, look me and Sae are on our way over. Perhaps if you just get away for a awhile you have a fresh prospective."
Sae: "Hear, hear. Say it again!"
Cara: "Ok come on by. See you when you get here."

Vanessa: "She really like the beach house huh?. She always there working. Does she ever just go and enjoy it. I would be out playing in the ocean, collecting shells, riding the jet ski. Just having fun."
Curtis: "She loves it there and it's quiet. She must have a problem if she went there. She didn't say anything about it the last time I talked to her so it gotta be serious. Hopefully we can change her mind."
Vanessa: "The coast line is so pretty. You should of let me drive."

Curtis: "HAAAsaaa, really you want to drive? I thought you didn't like this car."
Vanessa: "I never said that. I said I didn't want to drive the car with YOU in it. I look good standing next to the car so I can just imagine how I look behind the wheel, zipping around town. Remember this gorgeous face has graced many fashion magazines."
Curtis: "Ok player I feel you. I can't argue about that. I never thought it would go to your head but I guess so, huh. Hee, heee, hee."

Curits: "Watch out for sand Sae. I would hate for your boots to get all dusty."

Sae: "You let me worry about my boots. You're mission is to get Cara to join us."

Sae: "Hello!, Hello!, coming in. Cara?"
Curtis: "Hey Baby, we're here."

Cara: "Hey, come on in. How are you? Hey baby."

Sae: "How are you? Please tell me you're not working hard."
Cara: "I know I can tell you I love those boots!"
Curtis: "Excuse me Sae, you are in the way."

Cara: "Hee, Hee. Hello my sweet."

Sae: "Yikes, you do have a lot going on. What changed?"
Curtis: "I see why you're tucked away. How far have they gotten on the project before this was discovered?"
Cara: "Well, let see. There is a new issue regarding the property. I am waiting to hear back from the attorney now. Because the land is part of trust, there are exact spec for the building, which is no problem. Making sure it is now green is another story."
Curits: "I see."

Sae: "Oh I know you got this, you are one of the best real estate developers I know when it comes to green (meow). Isn't that right, Chanel?"

Chanel: "meow, purr."

Curtis: "I have faith in you too. In my eyes you are the best real estate developer. How long have you been waiting on the attorney to call you back?"
Cara: "Almost an hour. I can tell he is tough too, but I'm not worried."
Sae: "Excuse me."

Sae: "Hello, yes this is Vanessa Hawthorne."

Curtis: "What's up?"
Sae: "I have a photo shoot tomorrow so we need to get going. I want to stop by a few store, especially Gucci while the day is still nice."
Cara: "I understand. So you know I wear a size 8."
Curtis: "You know your are not in Milan. What are you looking for in Gucci? Never mind, ok we will get going."

Sae: "Ok Cara, we won't take up anymore of your time. I just wished we could of hit Nieman Marcus together. I can see all the shoes now."
Curtis: "On that note, we will skip Neiman all together, hee hee."
Cara: "Whatever Babe, you know my shoe size and what type of purses I like."

Cara: "Sae, I will call you later and see what you picked up."
Sae: "Ok. I talk with you later. Curtis, I'll be in the car."

Cara: "Make sure Sae has some fun today. Sorry I can't get away."
Curtis: "Of course I will. Although she is grown, I still love her enough to spoil her. But first, I need to spoil you."

Cara: "mmmm"

Curtis: "Ok honey, I'll see you later."
Curtis: "Ohh, I like the way you spoil me. Thanks for checking on me."

Sae: "I was hoping we had all day to be together. Sorry to have to cut it short. I was hoping to do alot of shopping."
Curtis: "That's ok. We can always hang out when you have time. I don't think Cara will be available for awhile. She is good and what she does."
Sae: "I really wanted to spend some time with her."
Curtis: "Everything is ok with you right?."
Sae: "Yes!, we just have alot of fun when we are together."

Cara: "Goodness Chanel, this was suppose to be a quiet day. Hmm, let's see what's going on with Alan. Hello Alan."

Alan: "Hey Cara how are you? Let me quess. Mom is out shopping and Dad is out and about not anwering his phone. I have tried calling him twice. I was going to bring the chairs over and see if he needed me to help with anything else. I'll just wait until I hear from him.
Paris: "mmm dadaada daa. MMM ddaa."
Cara: "I spoke with him earlier. He went to the flower show. You know he never misses it. I'm just waiting on a call, trying to make things happen.
