Eric and I took Gretta on Saturday to get her 2nd hair cut. The only other hair cut she has ever had is by our friend Wendy in Boise. Gretta did great. She was a little scared at first because she thought it would hurt, but after the first cut she realized that it was going to be okay.

LA Clippers Game Court Side
Eric told me he had something special planned for our Saturday night date night. He took care of everything. He told me to be ready at 6:00pm in casual cloths. The babysitter arrived then just a few minutes later his sister, Allison and her husband Rod, arrived too. We got in their car and headed??? I didn't know where we were going. I had asked him before if we were going to a LA Laker's game and he said that the Laker's weren't playing on the 17th. We headed to downtown and once we got to the Staples Center I figured out what was going on, but I had no idea how good it was going to be. There was Clippers game at the Staples Center on the 17th. As we pulled into the parking garage they directed us to the VIP parking. It was sweet! Then we had dinner at the ESPN Zone at LA LIVE! Once we got to the game Eric wouldn't let me see the tickets. We kept going down, and down and down until we were on the FLOOR! My feet were on the FLOOR! We were right under the basket. It was so cool!!! I know that the Clippers are the B team in town, but still court side at the Staples Center is court side! It was so cool to see the players up close, and be only about 20 feet away from the bench. You could see all of the inside jokes and the players expressions on the court. It was so cool. Of all the sport I like watching Basketball is my favorite! I grew up going to the BSU games with my dad and we had great seat too. I always love good seats.
Eric was lucky enough to get these tickets from work. I guess Donald Sterling, owner of the Clippers, gave these seats to the bank. He is a client of BofA's. The ticket price is $1,500 a seat. WOW.
Thanks Eric for such a wonderful night. I felt like a movie star. You're the best!

Crib Tent and Photo's by Gretta
This is our newest "Craigs list" purchase. It's the Crib Tent II. I think most of the time people use these to keep kids in their cribs, but we bought it to keep Gretta out of the crib. It has worked pretty successfully, but we have to safety pin it shut because she can unzip the whole thing. She is one smart girl. Eliza also doesn't seem to mind it. The girls are now successfully sleeping in their room together. The only sleep problem of late is that Gretta is waking up at night and coming into our room. I wish they had a" bed tent" for her. Oh well.

Gretta's 3rd year well check up
Gretta had her 3 year old well check this last week. Better late than never. Here are her stats...
Height 38 3/4 inches 90%percentile
Weight 34lbs 90%percentile
blood pressure 93/48
pulse 102
I am not sure how a kid who you can see ever rib because she is so skinny is in the 90% for weight, but I guess at least she is proportional.
The 3 year old well check has no shots. Yeah!!! She did however have to get some blood drawn to see if she is anemic. She has been pale lately, and due to her high dairy diet he wanted to rule it out.
I had Eric take her on Saturday because my pediatrician insisted that it be drawn at the hospital, and it always takes so long to get it done. They waited 45+ minutes on Saturday. I just couldn't get up enough energy to get us to the hospital knowing I would have to wait at least 45 minutes with 2 kids. The report was that Gretta was very brave. Thanks Eric for taking her!
