Show me your Beiber....What??

Yesterday, the Nesquik bunny made his appearance at the renaming of the E Center to the Maverick Center. My dad works for Nestle and occasionally Chris gets to play the part of the Nesquik bunny. He has usually done it at SUU basketball games, so outside in July was a stretch! The fan inside was not working, so we tried to rig our own fans inside, but it didn't really work... After about 15 minutes of wearing the suit, Chris was dying. So back to the trailer we went to change him out of the suit. Oh wait, did I mention that yesterday was also the Justin Beiber concert at the new Maverick center?? I swear there was Beiber Fever everywhere!! 97.1 zht was there giving out tickets and a backstage pass to one lucky winner. When the girl won, she started bawling!! It was hilarious!!

This is the girls showing off their Beiber posters they made to try to win the backstage pass. The bunny was right there with them!

We handed out Nestle product to people while they were there, and of course had our pictures taken with everybody! Kids and adults!!

Chris and I actually traded, so in the above picture, that's me in the suit! :p

Here we were trying to score the Beiber tickets for Kelsey! They actually gave them to the girls right in front of us... Sorry Kels!


With the head on, the bunny (and his ears) are about 7 feet tall! You can definitely see it coming!

Of course Chester the Cheeto and the Cracker Jack kid were there! Wouldn't be complete without a group picture!

The best part of the whole day, was when the radio DJ kept saying, "Show me your Beiber!!" The first time he said it, I thought my dad was going to die! My dad said, "Show my your WHAT??" I tried to tell him its not what you think! Still kinda weird to ask 14 year old girls to show me your Beiber...

We had a great time! Thanks for the fun dad!!

Chicken Nugget no-no...

A few weeks ago, I went to Walmart for the never ending grocery shopping! I hate to take the kids because I usually end up buying 10 items not on my list and forgetting the most important 5 that are on my list! UGH!! But, shopping with the kids sure beats shopping at 10:00 p.m. when I am tired, and really for get what I need. Anyways.... Cayden is getting to a point where he is out-eating Madison. Its kinda ridiculous! I saw in the frozen food isle the bags of pre-cooked Chicken nuggets, and thought, why not? He might really like them and they are fast and easy. Now mind you there are 2 things in life I am not willing to go cheap on. Food, and my make-up... I eyed the Tyson brand of chicken nuggets, but then quickly saw that the Great Value Brand(Walmarts brand) was almost 2 dollars cheaper. Seeing as it was for the kids, I opted for the Walmart brand. They won't care, right? So we go home and a few days later cook a few for lunch. Then Yesterday I decided to make some more. I made 9 for Cayden and Madison to share. I cut up the first 2 for Cayden, and as he finished those, I cut up another. He was still hungry so as I started to cut up the 4th, my knife wouldn't go through it. Surely it can't be frozen was my first thought, so I pulled the top of the nugget off and found this:


A PIECE OF BLUE PLASTIC!! I about died! It was super jagged and sharp. I was not happy, so I immediately called Walmarts corporate office and complained. The girl there was very nice and kept apologizing. I know its not her fault, so I tried to not be rude, but come on! Plastic in my food!! She told me they were going to send me a pre-paid package envelope to send the nugget back in so they could investigate how the plastic made it into the nugget. I told her I wanted a copy of the report also. She then asked my if I wanted a refund... Is that even a question you have to ask? Of course I want a refund! Later I went into the local Walmart where I bought the nuggets and talked to the store manager. I wanted him to be aware of what was being sold on his shelves just in case other customers had problems too. He was very nice and asked me if I would like a new bag of nuggets while I was waiting for my refund to come in the mail. I said yes, but not the Walmart brand, please. He generously gave me the Tyson brand chicken nuggets and we were on our way.

Note to self: Don't buy Walmart brand!
