LA TRIP!!!!

This last weekend was a so fun......I got to go out to visit my baby sister in LA. My Mom, sisters, and I were escorted by my dad to sunny Calif. Unfortunately I arrived a day late, I learned that Thurs everyone went and saw the Eagles concert!! Oh I am so jealous!!! I love concerts and the Eagles would be a chance in a lifetime! oh well Im saving my money for a tour with TORI!!!! (coming this next month) But anyway Brianne........

moved out to LA this summer to dance. She loves it. Keeps her BUSY!! she had to take "sick days" to accompany us to none other than what????.........................Oh yes you guessed it Wicked. It just gets better each time.

Jessica was in heaven, she has been so excited to see the show and she gave it 5 stars. Then on Sat we headed over to Universal Studios. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time for so long.....I completely lost my voice. My voice was so gone! When us 5 get together we can get so silly. Theme parks are a whole different world when your not there for your kids!

It is so fun to get everyone together again at the same time. Everyone lives so far apart, that we don't see each other more than 1 every other month or so. Sad :(

We can't wait any longer for Monica to have her baby!!! He is due next month and poor girl, the last thing you want to do 8 months preggo is Universal Studios! (ask me I know!!!! Disneyland...8 months.....never mind) She was such a good sport and we can't wait for little Jackman to make his appearance!

Universal makes a big deal of Halloween so there were some really fun haunted houses. My dad got it good and we laughed forever! But then at night you could come back from 7-2 am for some serious scary stuff. They were by far the scariest houses I have been in. Amy will agree!!! huh Amy! Everyone was scared to death. So 2 am rolls around and although we were tired, we were not ready to call it quits.

K this guy here followed us everywhere. Everywhere we turned he was under our feet and outside of the bathroom. ......creepy...... so we had to get a pic

So 2 am rolls around and what are we to do......pull out trusty old Loretta for some good laughs. Loretta is a head that Brianne got from a beauty school or something. She often takes Loretta in the car and gets some awesome reactions. So below you'll find a picture of Loretta. Until you see the reactions and double takes from people this may not be funny, but trust me...it is!

Lulus was the bomb! Best breakfast anywhere. We had a 2 star sightings. One was right here, the AIDS walk was going on right on this street where we saw TR Knight, (George OMaley) from Greys. And then Brianne lives pretty much right across the street from the Grove, an outdoor shopping mall, and we saw Allie Larter jogging down the streets. It is so weird to see stars.....hmmm anyway..................Here is a pic of Briannes apartment building, it is really cute inside and she is having a total blast there.

So all that's left to say is thanks Jeff for letting me take a break and being such a good sport about it....and Girls lets do this again next month!!!!

We finally got some time to go up to my very favorite fall time place.....LAGOON! We all had so much fun. The first ride of the day was the rickety old roller coaster. I forget how rickety it really is. Jaxon was finally tall enough to ride the big rides, so when he saw what he thought was a "Fun white Train" we didn't have to ask twice for him to ride. So here the kids are in line excited to ride.

Jaxon is getting excited........
Ok, now before you watch the video, just remember I never would have done this intentionally if I'd known how scary it can be to a 4 yr old. I started recording this after the huge hills, and when the ride was just about to end. anyway...................(he will look back one day and laugh)

This video speaks for itself......but we were in line for yet another rollercoaster.

Here are just some other random photos from the day. It is always so fun when grandma Sheryl, Kim, Susan, get to come. We always have so much fun just goofing off! :)

Jeffs favorite part of any park is playing the games. We always come home with tons of stuffed animals. The kids think dad is so cool! (just the way he likes it!)

Anyway we had a blast and Im glad that we got to go before it got to cold. until next time.....peace out!

Its my Birthday!! Woo Hoo! Who doesn't' like a day all to themselves and for people to call you and tell you Happy Birthday? Yeah my birthday was GREAT! Jeff always makes such a big deal of birthdays, you can't help but feel like a princess. So The day started by me getting up, at 11:00!!! It was the best sleep ever! the day just got better from there. The entire downstairs was draped with streamers an balloons. We just lounged around, went to the movies, shopped and came back and watched football. My kinda day.

I used to have such an issue with getting a year older but after deep thought, I don't think I would ever want to go back to being 21 again! Life just gets better year after year.

So I dogged Jeff out on the last post pretty good, so I must give props when props are due. He defiantly made up for shortchanging me on the gift. He surprised me with a little turquoise box. We all know where that is from????? Tiffany's!! It was a beautiful necklace that I absolutely LOVE. He is such a sweetheart! Thanks babe!

So other than my birthday, nothing much has gone on. Nothing post worthy anyway. So hopefully this week will bring more interesting things.
