The Mash Potato???

So we went to Nellie's for dinner and IDOL night little did we know that Nellie would start dancing the Mash Potato. We laughed so hard... Every time she is going to start dancing she has to do this wind up thing. We tested our theory and as you will see we were right.... ENJOY!! oh at the end of the first video when you hear all the screaming its because her husband came out and scared Annette and I! Nellie this is one of the MANY reasons why we love you!!!

Spring Break in Bear Lake, Utah

So this spring Break I went to Bear Lake, Utah with Jill and her kids. They have a house there. It was so much fun and very relaxing.... We knitted, watched TV, played in the snow, playeed board games and ATE.... AMAZING TRIP!!!! I am totally horrible when it comes to taking pictures when I am on vacation but here is a few from our little adventures. I'll start off when we stopped at BYU for ice cream. Very good stuff, they have their own creamery and cows they milk.

When we were in Barstow we defiantly had to stop at the most DELICIOUS Del Taco ever!!! Yes, we stopped on the way there and back...

Snow Day Fun!!!

Thanks Rome for taking this amazing picture! Looks awesome!

When Jill and I got old and tired of playing in the snow we went inside and played Scrabble.. Jill won by 20 points. Apparently if you are good at this game you are suppose to score in the high 300s to low 400s, this is according to the box. Well Jill and scored in the high 200s, yeah that's right we rocked this game....

This is a house we found for my dad we are getting escrow started this week... We thought he would LOVE IT!!!! ha ha ha ha ha

The most amazing rainbow I have ever seen! This picture doesn't really do it justice!

Beautiful blue Bear Lake view from Grandma Joan's house, oh and some trampoline action!

And what would a trip to Utah be with out a picture of the Red Rock?

The wonderful and quiet..... ride home.

Cassie made me this super cute Welcome Home sign, and left it on my bed for me! So sweet!

Happy 4th Birthday Liz!

We love your fun spunky attitude, and all your funny little comments. We hope you have a SUPER day at Disneyland! And a SUPER Birthday!!!! Love you!

Birthday at Disneyland

So we went to Disneyland tonight for Skylar's Birthday to get his Birthday money..... It was so HOTT and we didn't even leave our house untill 6:00pm. But it was nice because there wasn't a lot of people there. When we first got there we went and picked up Skylars birthday pin and his gift card (he has a pass).
We went into California Adventure first, Skylar wanted to start by looking in the stores there first. He has been keeping track of what store has what for when it came time for hime to spend his birthday money. He knew he wanted some Nightmear Before Christmas stuff and in Disneyland they have a whole store devoted to just that. So we went to the Tortilla Factory to get our fresh tortilla and the Sourdough Bread Factory to get some delicious fresh bread. Since it was Skylars Birthday they gave him a BIG pice we all got small pices.

After we got our treats I tried to talk everyone into going on the Bear Mountain Rapids ride because it was hot and that was a sure way to get wet and cool off.... No one was up for the idea.... Whatever.... So we headed in to Disneyland to find Skylar's stuff. We headed straight for the Nightmear Before Christmas store, Skylar found a few things he liked but his mom wanted him to look around a little more before he spent all his money. So at that store he decided to get 2 drum sticks with Jack Skelton on them (he is taking drum lessions at the Fender Musiem in Riverside and now thinks he is Travis Barker). So we then decided to check out the line for Splash Mountain because if you didn't hear before it was HOTTTTTT!!!! The line was only 15min long so we decided to go on... Safty first we wanted to make sure Skylar was tall enough...

Well thank goodness he was just bearly tall enough... and Annette bearly made it too... So we went on and of corse being the smart people we are Annette and I called the back.... Hello it was hot but a girl still has to look some what good... As soon as we got on the ride operator stuck a rather large man in the VERY front. For those of you who have never been on this ride, when that happens you are DEFFENTLY gonna get wet I mean SOAKED!!! And most of us did but being the super smart girl I am I hid behind Charise and all that got wet was my shoes and my shorts a little.. How sad for me. Skylar wanted to take this picture because his feet wernt hitting the ground, he told me I had to point that out.
I totally forgot.... Before we went to Splash Mountain we went to The Golden Horseshoe for Ice Cream and dinner for Annette... YUUUMMMM!!!!



With his money Skylar decided on buying a hat drum sticks and The Nightmear Before Christmas movie...
Annette wanted to try his drum sticks out.
Charise also tried on every large floppy hat there was which one is your favorite?

1.2.3.We love you BOOBOO and we hope you had as much fun as we did, thanks for letting us come with you... We are super excited to take you on your Birthday Surprise weekend.

Happy Birthday Skylar!

Happy 12th Birthday Skylar... You are an amaizing kid and I am so proud of you! You make me laugh and and are always fun to talk to and have aroun! I remember the day you were born, I was so happy to have a new little baby cousin around. Little did I know that you would turn into this amaizing young man, who I am proud of and LOVE to brag about!!!! I love you very much and I hope you have an amaizing Birthday!!!

Jurry Duty Blues...

Ok so I got called for jurry duty for the first time yesterday. Oh my gosh what a long day, I sware that was the longest day of my life. I had to be at the court house at 7:45am and had to be there a full day weather I got called for a panel or not. Well of corse with my luck I got called for the first panel of the day. I walked in to the room as juror #3, and I was thinking "oh CRUD, I am going to be on this jurry..." I mean who wouldn't like me and all my wisdom and oppinions I have to share with everyone...? Well I'm home today becasue I luckly got excused, I guess it's a good thing when the defense lawyer and the judge don't like how you answer questions. But I am totally ok with that. I am going to Utah with Jill and her family for Spring Break and being liked and on a jurry would not be my idea for spring break fun. SOOOOOO Utah here I come.

Cassie's Birthday Surprise!

Our cousin Cassie just turned 9 on March 31st. On her actual birthday she went to Disneyland, since they are doing the Birthday Celebration and you either get a ticket or if you have a pass a gift card (she has a pass, and had fun picking out stuff to buy with her money). Then on Friday her mom let her invite a few of her friends over for a pool party. They all had a blast.... Needless to say her mom is exhausted, that is what 5 little screaming, jumping 9 year old girls will do to you! Annette and I went to pick her up on Friday night, we waited till "after traffic" ( or all the little girls left how ever you want to see it) and brought her home with us, all she knew was she was going somewhere special with Annette the next day. So here is what happen in Cassie's own words:

"First we went down the street to my friends house and picked her and her mom up, I was happy! Then we got in the car and we drove to Red Robin for lunch. I had spaghetti and fries it was delicious." "Then we got back in the car, and we drove to Color Me Mine and I was so surprised! I painted a plate, Rachel painted a princess and Annette painted a cup."

"Here we are painting.""Here is what our stuff looked like when we were done painting, Annette has to go get them in one week."
"Annette helped me use all the rest of my paint and sponge the back of my plate, here is what it looks like."
"I am so excited to get my plate when it is done, it is going to be so pretty! Thank You Annette for taking me I Love You!!!!"
