Ruby

My niece Ruby slept over at our house the other night and we made a video with her on my Macbook. We thought it was pretty funny so I thought I'd post it on here. Enjoy!

Happy Sunday!

It feels nice to sit down and blog, we have been doing things all weekend so I've hardly been able to get online!  We started out the weekend on Friday by going to meet my sister Jane and her family watch my niece, Ally, run in her final cross country meet.  She did great! It was fun to see her run, and she is good at it! My parents were also there so it was fun to hang out there and cheer Ally on.  Afterwards we ran over to Az Mills mall to get Todd some new shoes for work, and then we headed to the Az State Fair to meet our friends Jessica and Josh, as well as my parents, my sister Liz and her boyfriend Ryan who were there watching the demolition derby.  We were there long enough to walk around, get some fried goodies and head out.  We had saved up some money about a month ago and bought season passes to Disneyland, so we decided it would be better to ride the safe rides at Disneyland rather than the ones at the fair, so our trip to the fair was pretty short!  Saturday I went to Jessica's baby shower.  It was decorated so cute and they had great party favors, and the most darling cake! I wish I would've gotten a picture.  After that, Todd and I drove over to the temple to meet my family for my parents 40th wedding celebration.  We were able to have all 7 kids and spouses and my parents be in the temple, and it was such an amazing sight! Afterwards we headed to Dave's BBQ for a celebration dinner and then to Jane and Todd's for some fancy cake and a fabulous DVD made by Jane! (Great job on that Jane!!)  After that we headed home to BED! It was such a good weekend and packed with so many things to do! (Which I think is the best kind of weekend!)

(Thanks for the pics Jane!!)

1 year ago today...

My sweet and loving husband asked me to marry him.  

Of course I said yes and I couldn't be any happier.  We are going out to dinner at Red Robin, since that is where we ate before he asked me to marry him, and its also where we had our first date.  I love you Todd!

Hollywood!

We spend the weekend in Hollywood with my parents, my sister Jane and her family, and my sister Liz. (Click on either of their names for more recaps of the trip!) We were there to celebrate my parents 40th anniversary! We had so much fun and crammed in so many fun things! We got there on Thursday night and were finally able to make it to Pink's Hot Dogs, which I had mentioned in an earlier post.  However, I was not impressed and don't know why anyone would wait in like 2 hours for what we got.  You can try it if you want though, tell me what you think.  Anyways, all weekend we spent running around to the Fashion District, Pitfire Pizza, Starbucks for hot chocolate and my favorite carmel apple cider, Hollywood Blvd, Portos Bakery (a must when you're in Hollywood), and Universal CityWalk.  Todd and I were also able to go down to San Clemente to see his aunt, uncle and cousins, and we were able to make a stop at my favorite place, DISNEYLAND! Sunday morning we went to the Studio City Ward and saw Jon Heder, aka Napoleon Dynamite, yes the real one, and we also saw one of the characters from High School Musical.  If you have seen the movie, she is the girl that wants to hip hop dance, and do the pop and lock.  (I have no idea what her real name is or who the character she plays is.) We had such a fun weekend and we always do especially with our families! Thanks for coming everyone, we will have to do it again very soon!
