Heroes Awards

Dana and Kathy Ireland



Dana with Ruta Lee




Sandi was the director of the Heroes Among Us Awards program, with her is Greg.

So last night we went to the Heroes Among Us Awards it was at Spartacus Square on the backlot at Universal Studios. The event was to honor heroes from everyday walks of life and some heroes that are heroes because of the humantarian work they do. It was an awesome event! There was entertainment by Gloria Gaynor, Lee Greenwood, and Brian McKnight to name a few. And some of the presenters were Tom Arnold, Judd Nelson, Erik Estrada and Kelly Hu. The Feed the Children charitable foundation presented awards to Kathy Ireland, Dr. Price, Nancy Davis and Dorotea Liguori. All of these people are so amazing in the charity work that they do. I was so humbled by their stories and realize that even the smallest donation is a huge help to so many. I am so inspired by the work of Feed the Children that I encourage all of you to visit their website http://www.feedthechildren.org/. Thank You to Sandi, the shows director, for inviting us to such an awe inspiring event. This event will be televised on July 7th on the mytv network.

Robert Wagner

On friday Robert Wagner was at the Center of the Arts, he does a one man show and chats with the audience, answers questions and then does a book signing. Dana is a long time fan and went to the show. Robert Wagner is such a gentleman, he spends time chatting with people and sharing so many of his experiences in Hollywood, Dana really enjoyed talking to him.

What Have I Been Up To?

Boy that is the question. I recently spent 5 days at Amber's and had lots of fun. I went to 2 of Jake's ball games, those are always nail biters because you never know just where the ball will go! It is so cute though, some of the plays go perfectly smooth and others are shear confusion--gotta love little league. We went to Lucille's for dinner and a Quakes game which was very, very fun. I love when I can be with my little kiddos! Jake is losing teeth right and left--he recently lost two top teeth and he called to let me know that he lost another bottom tooth. Needless to say he won't be eating corn on the cob anytime soon. Ella is adorable and likes to keep up with her big brother, she loves to climb and has no fear!
Now that I am working less and less I have time for projects around the house. My big to DO right now is redecorating my living room. New sofa (yahoo) I think I'm entitled as the old one was about 25 years new! Say it isn't so -- but it is! I also got a new chair that I love and have ordered a new bookcase/wall unit not sure what to call it-(it will not accommodate a flat screen) I had the ceilings painted and crown moulding goes in on thursday (yipee) I still need to get rid of the barber chair (anybody want it?). I'll post a picture when I complete it, probably in 6-8 weeks as it takes forever when you order stuff!

Spring Break


Our Easter Egg Hunt!

We had a really fun Spring Break! Jake really wanted to spend his vacation with us and we were more that happy to have him. I picked him up on the Sunday before Easter and then Amber came down on tuesday with Ella! Sage was off for Spring Break and I took a few days off and we hung out together and did some fun family outtings. We love being together and it's always fun to see the world through Jake and Ella's eyes. Friday was Sage's Birthday and Sunday was Easter so we did our celebrating of both days on Saturday at Sage's house.
