Sightseeing in Arizona...

While we were in Arizona for Lauren's birthday Roberta (Lauren's Mom) was kind enough to take us "sightseeing". Who knew Arizona was so beautiful. First we went to Prescott and walked around Whiskey Row and Courthouse Square. The next day we drove to Jerome and Sedona. Sedona was such an amazing place to see, the red rock was incredible!

I can't believe she's fourteen!!!

So... like I said in the previous post my Mom & I flew into Arizona to surprise my niece Lauren for her 14th birthday. She had a party with all her friends at her house, they even had a DJ! It was so neat to see her dance around and have a good time. We even got to meet her boyfriend Drew! They all seemed to be great kids and had a lot of fun. I'm so glad I was able to be there and share her birthday with her, I still can't believe she's fourteen!!!!

Happy Birthday Lauren!!!!

Surprise!

My Mom flew in from Washington and I flew in from California to surprise my niece Lauren (who lives in Arizona) for her 14th birthday. Lauren had no idea we were coming and was very surprised! This is a picture of Lauren hugging her Grandma when she first saw us.

Happy 1st Birthday Diesel!

Okay I know some of you are going to make fun of me for blogging about my dog's 1st birthday, but hey what can I say when you don't have kids you blog about your pets. Diesel my yorkshire terrier turned a year old last Monday (May 12th), I guess I should mention Levi and Cooper's birthdays too considering their birthdays were before I started blogging, Levi turned three on January 13th and Cooper turned four on March 19th. I know, I know I'm a little obsessed with my animals! I just love them so much and they're so much fun!

Happy Birthday Dies!!!

Happy Mother's Day!!!

Kyle & I spent Mother's Day at Craig Park in Brea with his family. It's hard on days like this to live so far away from my Mom (but I get to see her next weekend YAY!!!).


Jake had so much fun playing!
It was a beautiful day!
My niece & nephew made Mother's Day cards for all the Mom's and Grandma's, Auntie Julie got one too becuase I'm Diesel and Levi's Mommy : )

Tana's Baby Shower

Saturday was my friend Tana's baby shower. She's expecting her second child in June, a little boy. The shower was held at a family friend's house in Anaheim, it was a beautiful day and everyone had a great time. I got to see some old friends I went to high school with so that was really cool. Tana also got a lot of really nice presents.

Stagecoach 2008 - WHAT A BLAST!!!

Kyle and I left Friday afternoon and headed out to Indio for Stagecoach. We absolutely had the best time ever! We met up with a bunch of people and partied all weekend. The best performance would have to go to The Eagles! WOW are they amazing! Some other highlights were John Fogerty, Trisha Yearwood, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, and for me The Judds.

"good times"
