California! This year (February to be exact!) was a rather interesting trip. Everyone was sick when we went out there. Ryan liked to refer to the beach house as the “House of Death.” Surprisingly we were one of the only ones who did not catch the horrible bug that they got. We did have a great time hanging out with the family though as always. We went to a car show, Disney’s Ice Cream Shop, Disneyland, shopping, saw a good old friend, visited some beautiful gardens, and just played. I can’t believe next February is almost here so we can go again! (Yes. That is a pic of Mom & Dad pushing Jenny’s van out of the garage)

I'm Back!

For Ryan's Birthday present (Yes his birthday in 2008!) I gave him tickets to see Jerry Seinfeld in Las Vegas. I must say that Jerry was hilarious and he does put on a great show. We just laughed and laughed the entire night. The thing that he does best is use so many examples of everyday things in his comedy routines and somehow turns them into something that you laugh at. The problem with Ryan’s birthday is that it is on Christmas Eve. I have to buy him double the presents and try to somehow make his birthday special. Since I am just posting this now, I am trying to come up with some more ideas since his birthday is coming up very very soon. Help!

Time to Catch Up!!!

So I think that it is finally time for me to catch up on my posts! I will slowly but surely be going through what we have been up to for the past 6 months...maybe 7!

Every December my Dad has the Colorado Water Users Conference in Las Vegas. It has been about two years ago that I went with him last so I decided to invite myself and go down with him again this year. Anyone who knows my Dad knows that he is always in for a good time and he always thouroughly enjoys himself whenever he is on vacation. We arrived down there and of course had to hit up the Belagio buffet first thing (what is it with our parent's generation and buffets?) it was fabulous and we ate way too much!

Since it is Christmastime we love to walk around and see all of the over the top Christmas decorations that they have there. In the Bellagio atrium this year they had a large snow man made out of carnations. It was so pretty!

In years past we have been to some great shows. This year was an extra special treat... we went to Donny & Marie! I was absolutely shocked at these 50 year olds and how they could rock. My Dad loved the show and we left with our pink Donny & Marie collectors cups (mind you we did take a few extra home with us!).

I will never forget these one on one times that am able to spend with my Dad. They are always great memories!

Pay it Forward!

Pay It Forward...So, here’s how it works: the first 3 people to leave a comment on this post will receive, at some point during the year, some homemade goodies from me. What it will be and when it will arrive is a total surprise! The catch is that you must participate as well. Before you leave your comment, write up a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (or copy and paste like I did). Then come back, let me know you’re going to play and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your goodies! Please submit in an e-mail or on the comment, or your address, if I don’t have it already. Remember that only the first 3 comments will receive a gift from me, so be quick! Have fun!

I AM A HORRIBLE BLOGGER...Sorry

I have decided that I want a Classic Mini Cooper (Just do not tell Ryan!). I think that they are just so stinkin cute!

January Blues...

I think I have the January Blues. It is a cold, dreary, nothing to look forward to month! Maybe we should go on vacation??
