Fun fun fun!

We have been having such a fun summer! Todd is now a runner on the garbage truck routes so he has been getting home everyday at around 11, and on Thursdays and Fridays even earlier! It has been so fun having him home to hang out with me, and also he has been going to watch Jane's kids with me! Last Tuesday we called up mom and dad to go to the Dbacks game, it was a lot of fun and we got some great seats right next to the Dbacks bullpen and foul pole.  We lost but it was still fun! There are some pictures of that and some pictures of little Brynn and Sophie.  The pictures of Brynn are from the underwater feature on my camera, I cannot believe how good of pictures it takes! And the ones of Sophie are from the softball games, I was trying out some new features on my camera.  More later, have a good week everyone!! 

Our favorite player Justin Upton, he's only 20!

We are back from Cali! We had such a fun time! We went to the L.A Temple which is BEAUTIFUL and so big, probably the biggest temple I've seen, shopping on Ventura Blvd, saw The Chronicles of Narnia, went to Universal Studios and had a cousin BBQ! We stayed in North Hollywood, or NoHo as the locals call it, at Todd's mom's apartment.  It is so nice and in such a nice area, and we were so close to everything! We ate at this amazing bakery called Portos, it is a fancy-like Cuban place with a pastry case that is like a mile long! They have great sandwiches and tons of bread too.  It was a short trip but we didn't make any set plans so it was a lot of fun! Todd's cousin Tanner and his girlfriend Bri came down to spend the day with us Saturday at Universal Studios, so you'll see them in some of the pictures.  We need to take a family trip there, it is so much fun, especially the Studio Tour! We got to see sets from the new Indiana Jones, and we drove down Wisteria Lane from Desperate Housewives! It was really hot but it was a good day to go and there was a 5 minute wait on both rides so we just kept riding them over and over again. That night we drove down to Orange County and met up with Todd's cousin Nate at his condo for a BBQ! It was fun and very yummy! Long story short, we had a great trip but we are glad to be home! 

Hello everyone! Sorry I've been MIA from the blogging world! Todd and I have been finishing up with school and we are DONE!! Thank goodness, its finally summer!! I got 2 B's and 1 A and I've very happy with that! Not a lot has been going on lately, I did get my hair done! Most of you have seen it but I will post pictures as soon as I take them! Thats it for now, just a quick update! We are going to California for the weekend on Thursday so when we get home I will [[hopefully]] have a lot of pictures to post! Have a great weekend everyone!!! =)

Finals Week!

Finally! Todd and I made it through the school year and we have finals this week and then its officially S*U*M*M*E*R!!! Thank goodness! I have no "final" finals, so no tests I have to study for, just a packet of work and an essay and I go on Wednesday to turn them in and I'm done! I do have one test for my online class on Monday but that class has been easy so hopefully I'll do good.  Todd has all his finals on Tuesday and has been studying and doing homework like crazy.  Good luck, Todd! We had a fun week this week, but we haven't really been home that much! I've been spending time with Jane and Jake's kids babysitting, and Todd has been working.  Also, for Liz's birthday Thursday we went out with the girls to eat at California Pizza Kitchen and to do a little shopping, then to the temple! It was such a fun day for everyone! We also at at Joe's Real BBQ, we had never been there before but it was so good! We went there for Liz's birthday because when its your birthday you get free everything, including a drink and dessert! Well, thats it for now, nothing other than finals going on for us! Have a good weekend everyone!!

The Weekend!

We had a pretty fun weekend! Friday we went to softball with everyone and had a blast with all the little kids! Ally spent the night and so did Todd's little sister Kellene.  We had so much fun with those girls! They are the same age and so much fun to have around! We watched "I Am Legend"...If you haven't seen it go rent it, its SOOO good! I was trying to make everyone stay up to watch it and Kellene conked out, and then so did I after I told everyone to stay awake! Haha, so Todd and Ally were the only ones awake at the end.  Saturday morning we woke up and made pancakes! We had Jane's buttermilk syrup...its SOOO good, thanks Jane! After that we headed to the zoo! We took the girls and met up with all of Todd's family.  It was so fun! We saw all of the animals and then this time when we went to see the stingrays we got to touch SHARKS! It was so cool, they feel weird! Like sandpaper! Ally and I were afraid to touch them because we thought they would be scaley like fish, but they weren't, it was weird! After that we met up with Jane and Todd, got a free car wash and headed home! We did homework Saturday night and thats about it! Here are a couple pictures from the Zoo...thats all for now!

Lions and Tigers and Stingrays?!

Yesterday Todd and I became official members of the Phoenix Zoo! That being said, we have season passes all year to the zoo for 2 adults and 4 kids ages 3-18.  Also, the little ones under 2 are free.  If anyone wants to go just let us know, the pass is for me and one guest, so I have to be there but if you want Todd and I can take your kids! There is a new exhibit there and you can touch stingrays, you have to pay a dollar but it is really neat! They are only going to be there until April 20th though, so if you don't go this week you'll miss them! But, you can do the same thing at Sea World for free.  Anyways, while we were petting them it was feeding time so we got to feed them fish and shrimp.  You make a fist with the food popping out and put it down into the water and they come suck it up.  Its kind of gross and a little scary, but they don't have any teeth just suckers.  Here are a few pics, Todd pointed out that we should've used our underwater                                                                        feature on our camera, but the Zoo people probably wouldn't have liked it.  After we saw the stingrays we went over to see the Orangutangs and the other monkeys.  The orangutangs were huge! There were I think 2 females and a baby and then the BIIIIIGGGG Papa.  He was huge! Then, we went over to see these Squirrel Monkeys. They are just crawling on ropes and trees out in the open seriously like a foot away from you.  It was crazy! There was this one little bugger who jumped over my head from a tree from a rope and it freaked me out! I thought he was going to land on my head! The zoo workers ere telling us how they will bite HARD if you get too close, and that they use their pee to mark their territory, so as soon as you get out of the exhibit you have to wash your hands.  Crazy little monkeys thats for sure!
