How Sweet!

Sunday at the Dodger game a woman approached Logan and Rick in the stands. She said they had been selected to do the coke trivia question on the field after the 7th inning stretch. How cool is that! So we got to go to the press box and they went on the field and did the question. I took pics of course. We won 4 tickets to Universal Studios! What a cool and lucky experience!!! Oh and the Dodgers killed the Nationals. GO DODGERS!!!


On the Jumbotron

Today's Appointment

Well it went pretty well all things considered. They had to do some extra x-rays on my left side because it didn't seems to be "working" right. That is my bladder was not cooperating not the x-ray machine. SO I guess I just wait till my next appointment August 12th to get any real answers or solutions. I kinda think that the problem they were having getting the picture is the real problem, but at least I'm on the road to answers. I'll keep ya posted of course. And for those who called, sorry I haven't gotten back, but my mom was with me and we had breakfast and after that Rick and I were busy all day getting ready to go camping this weekend. I'll call you soon!

{IVP TEST}

So tomorrow I go in for this test called an IVP. Basically they shoot some iodine into your vein through an IV and then take x-rays to see how the kidneys, bladder and other various parts are working. When I was Logan's age I had a major surgery because my right Ureter(the tube urine travels from) was in the wrong place and not working correctly. They told us I would forever have issues. So here I am. I get UTI's all the time and recently, like the last 3-4 months I have had a never ending UTI. It won't go away, so we are going to look for some other possible causes. That leads to tomorrow. Anyway no big deal, just thought I would share, it's kinda interesting. Oh and yeah maybe keep me in your prayers that they DON"T find something serious! Here's what it looks like... except for the dude hee hee

{Check out this adorable doll}

Ever since I've had a girl it's been so much fun to get dolls again. I feel like a little girl every time Brooklyn gets a doll. Sometimes I even buy her a doll she doesn't care for, for my own selfish reasons ;-) But this doll in particular has to be one of my favorites. Rick's mom came home with this doll she got at FAO in Vegas. Brooklyn loves it! She likes tiny dolls like this one. How cute is it? It turns into a little purse or bassinet. She's called Penelope Peapod and after a little research I found she was co-created by one of the Kate Spade designers. If you're really crafty and know who to knit (I do but don't see myself doing this one) you can go to the site and there are directions how to make your own Penelope Peapod!

{Happy Anniversary to Us!!!}

I can't believe it's been a year. It went by so fast. Although it seems like we should have been married forever now! This has been such a wonderful year for me and our family. I'm so excited for many more to come!

Mama MIa

Went to see this movie tonight and... it was so worth it! I really loved it. It's goofy, and witty it really makes you laugh and at the same time it's very sentimental. Especially if you are a mom to a girl! It's a musical so a lot of singing, but if you like the 70's and the band ABBA you will enjoy. IMO it was worth the $$$$

Brave Jumper

WE've been having a lot of fun in the pool this summer, which is nice that it's getting use! But what has really impressed me is that LOgan now jumps in from the diving board! I am so proud of him. At the beginning of the year he wouldn't leave the spa!

Playing Baseball

Logan wanted to go outside and play baseball today. he's on this kick where he has to match whatever you're wearing. If I'm wearing shorts, he has to wear shorts. If Rick wears a Dodgers shirt he has to etc., so this is how he made himself and Rick dress to play baseball this morning. It was too cute. Then after I took this picture he said "make sure to send that picture to Carys and Ashie, they'll like me in my Dodgers shirt!

Kids Apron

I swear I won't post EVERYTHING I make but I really like this kids apron it turned out ok. I think I might start a "Homemade" blog just to post all the projects on.

Little Extras in the Kitchen

Here's something I've always wanted to do. Finally got it done. I really like it, and it makes the kitchen look larger!

New Accomplishments

So I had a sew day yesterday and last night and I am so happy with my little projects! The first one is a little apron which was fun. And the second is a little dress I made for Brooklyn. It's a bit big but I LOVE it! Right now I'm working on some pants, so more pictures to come. I love the little button on the pocket of the dress, if you can't tell it's a fishbowl with a goldfish.

Soccer boy

In hopes of getting Logan excited to play soccer this year, we went out and got him is shin guards and cleats. He was actually really excited to wear them. We went outside and kicked the ball around and guess what? He's really good. He can dribble the ball and kick it into thew goal and he can even get past me! He even got the ball from me once. So even though he says he doesn't want to play I think when he gets his uniform he'll be happy. By the way, the shirt he's wearing in the picture is Rick's when he was 4. It says "Grand Terrace Christian Soccer Club"

More NY

Rick and I dressed up for Wicked which was amazing! And of course we couldn't go on a vacation without thinking of the Bowler families here are a couple pictures that made us think of them...

New York

After 5 long well (actually they were kinda short) days we're home. The only reason I say long was well I was totally ready to come home to the kids! I missed them a lot. Rick and I had a great time though. New York was and wasn't what I expected. A lot of the stereotype are not true, people are very nice, fashion isn't like Sex and the City and the traffic wasn't any worse than here. But then a lot of things were just as I expected. The subway is just like in the movies, but cleaner. There are a ton of people walking at any given time, taxi cab rides are CRAZY, most of the city is always awake and the sights are amazing. All and all I loved it there, but would not live there (unless we had a ton of money) and was pretty grateful for our lives here in Cali. I think once a cali girl always a cali girl. The food was pretty good when we had time to eat, portions are huge! We must have walked 6 miles a day. Unless you go to SOHO shopping is the same and even there it's pretty much the same stuff as here. Well except the handbags, which well that's a whole other story/experience! So here are some pictures, I could go on for awhile. Just some of the things we did. Yankee game (my favorite part), central park, statue of liberty, empire state building, times square etc. these are just a few! Enjoy I'll post more later...

In exactly one month...

I will be a happy girl! Breaking Dawn will be out August 2nd! I'll be camping but you better bet I'll make a trip to the local Barnes and pick up my copy. Can't wait!
