Birthday, California, and Movies

 

My Birthday Balloons from Todd






So, we had my birthday dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory in our own room.  All of the sudden it starts POURING rain, and then the roof starts to leak.  There was so much water coming down, mind you this is on the INSIDE! Also, we went to look out the window and the window was leaking also! Most of the little kids were soaked, but they didn't mind one bit! This picture shows all the buckets they used to hold the water.
All the nieces and nephews posing for a picture, they were all looking out the leaky window.  They also got their own "kids table" which they thought was awesome, but I didn't get a good picture of it.
Shamu! We went to San Diego with Todd's family the day after my birthday.  We went to Sea World at night for about an hour to see the Shamu show and we got to see the whales before the show.  This little (HA) guy was just bobbing in the water for about 10 minutes, he just would stay in this position, and poke his head up every once in awhile.  It was cool!
We had a birthday dinner for me with Todd's family down in San Diego at Tony Roma's.  It was very yummy but I ate too many appetizers and could barely touch any of my dinner.  Afterwards we walked back to our hotel and Kellene and I were attempting to get a jumping picture and this was the best we could do.
  We have been seeing SUCH great movies lately! We went and saw "Journey to the Center of the Earth" and it was AMAZING! If you go see it, make sure you see it in 3D! We took Brigham's girls overnight for a sleepover and then took them to see it, we had a lot of fun! Also, we decided to see "The Dark Knight".  It was AMAZING.  It was such a good movie, and so unpredictable.  I would totally recommend seeing it! And there is some violence, but no bad language or anything like that.  We loved it and are still talking about how great it was! 
Thats it for now! Sorry it took me so long to post! Oh and last night, I go into the bathroom and find a HUGE scorpion, probably the size of my index finger including his tail trying to climb up our wall! Todd got some hairspray and a match and burned him, only because he is a pyro.  Needless to say I am still freaked out and don't want to walk around my house! AND...we have to move out this week so I am freaked out about packing boxes because knowing my luck I will find another one while packing up all my junk! Goodness!

Hellllo!

Sorry, long time no posts! I need to get better at this and not get so behind! Anyways, I am sad to admit that we just got back from California and I have no pictures to show for it! We spent the day at the beach on the 4th and I didn't want my camera to get all sandy so I didn't take it with me, and then we went back to the beach to watch fireworks and I didn't bring it then either! But, we are going to San Diego this weekend so hopefully I'll be able to get some pictures of that!! I hope everyone had a fun 4th of July!! Also, thanks to Mom, Dad, Sam and Janae for hosting Bella's party, Todd and I had a lot of fun, but it is really hard not to have fun with all of our family!! I will post more throughout the week and when we get back from Cali, I just wanted to update everyone quick! P.S. My birthday is in 3 days!! Todd is very excited because I will no longer be a teenager!!
