This last weekend my mom and her friend decided to try out for Deal or No Deal. At first I thought I was going to have to wake up at the butt crack of dawn and go get in line with her. Thankfully at the last minute her best friend Vicki decided to go with her letting me off the hook!! It was my mom's bday that weekend so I volunteered to drop them off instead. The weekend started out great I met my mom and Vicki at this really nice Italian restaurant called Lagonos. We all got the same thing chicken ravioli and it was delish. After dinner we went back to our hotel. We stayed just a couple miles away from where they were doing the auditions so they could get there early and not have to spend the night there. They woke up around 5 am and I dropped them off a little before 6. When they got there not many people were ahead of them except for those that had slept in tents that night. I guess there were four rounds to get through and my mom and Vicki made it to the 3rd round. You were supposed to sell yourself in 20 seconds and if they liked you then you moved on. My mom wanted to be on the show so bad she pulled her wig off 3 times to try and show the producers how much her and Howie have in common. It wasn't a complete success but they both had fun so that's all that counts. When I went to pick them up the line wrapped all the way around the block so I was glad they got there before the line was too long. After the auditions me and my mom met my two sisters in Park City for lunch and some shopping. The next day everyone came over for cake and ice cream. Happy Birthday mom I love you and I am so privileged to have such a wonderful mom. You are such a great inspiration and great example to me. I hope one day that I will be able to be half the mother you are!!
Here is my mom and her two little helpers blowing out her yummy birthday cake Jen made.

I am so bummed she didn't make the show! She should have made it just because she resembles Howie so much! We love your Mom. She is so funny. Thanks for keeping Ryker entertained the other night. He loved you! He asked if you were coming over the next day.
Shelly,
I just got the loot you sent over from my Mom. Thanks so much. I am in hog heaven. You're the best!
