Happy 12th birthday Lindsey!!!

This past weekend, our friend's daughter celebrated her birthday with a "murder mystery" theme. We were invited to help out and dress in character if we wanted to. Jeremy, being the fun loving person that he his, jumped at the chance to dress up while I agreed to help out. Jeremy was given the character of Fred Astaire; complete with cane and top hat, Jeremy tapped his way into the party. haha. He even willingly sang "Let's call the whole thing off" at one point during the evening. It was hysterical to watch him and he enjoyed every minute of it.

As you can see he was in full character... this is him tapping atop the fireplace bench.
Jen's son's friend Shamis was in full character as Elvis, complete with gyrating hips...haha.

Jen has been trying anything she can with Funfetti cake mix, including Funfetti pancakes. For her birthday cake, Lindsey wanted a Funfetti ice cream cake...it was delicious!!!

These two boys were adorable! Say hello to Jimmy Hendrix & Groucho Marx...

The Bull Riding Adventures

This past weekend, the Smith "kids" came to visit us. We played multiple concerts in our living room until 2am...Guitar Hero is getting lots of play time. haha. When we weren't playing Guitar Hero, the boys were out golfing and Kelsey hung out with me at school; she even guest spoke in a couple of my classes! Thanks Kelsey!

As for Saturday night and Sunday evening, we traveled up to Sacramento to watch Professional Bull Riding (the PBR). Jeremy has been watching PBR on Versus forever and was so excited when Carson called to say they would be going. It was definitely a cowboy weekend; boots, button down shirts, cowboy hats and "the wolf" radio station.

Giddy up...

This cowboy was in charge of rounding up the misbehaving bulls...

This cowboy didn't do so well...

Good thing Jeremy got a picture of him and Carson to remember the weekend...

3...2...1....HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

We spent the week of New Year's with my parents in San Diego. The weather was definitely not as cold as in Bishop! :) We had Christmas with my parents. The highlight of all the Christmas presents this year was the Wii! Jeremy's been wanting either an XBOX 360 or Wii. Being the only child that I am, I realized that if I got the Wii, I could actually play along with him, so my mom and I got out dark and early on Black Friday and got all the goods for the Wii. Jeremy was soooooo surprised. We spent most of the day as well as New Year's Eve playing mostly tennis, bowling and golf... We even came home to my dad getting his bowling skills up to par...haha.

New Year's Eve, we had Amy, Travis and Avenleigh over for Tostadas, Trivia Night, Wii and Brownies!!! Travis and Avy spent most of the night upstairs sleeping while we pigged out on Tostadas and Lumpia and played games.

The Wii...

(Trivia Night involved 6 rounds: What's News, Picture round, Nursery Rhymes, Christmas movie quotes, Music round, and Christmas trivia)...I had fun making it.

I was the host...

Amy & my dad were the "Awesome Nighs"

(pointing out my spelling error on their answer sheets)

Jeremy and my mom were the "PA-RNs"

(because he's a soon-to-be PA and she's an RN)

Fun times with the doggies...

Doodle Bug was pooped...

Lexi was so excited for the new year...


Me and Doodle Bug

Our Yearly Trip to Disneyland!!!

Every year Jeremy and I make it a point to go to Disneyland during Christmas time. The reason we go during such a busy time is because they re-do the Haunted Mansion with a Jack Skellington theme and of course I LOVE all the Christmas lights!!! This year we went with Holly, my friend from Credential school. We had a blast...

This quaint spot is in New Orleans Square, where Jeremy LOVES to get a Mint Julip.

Can you tell we're riding "the wildest ride in the wilderness"????

Mmmmm... CHURROS!!!

We're in the back of the log...or are those terrorists???

The following pictures are our attempt to touch top the tips of mountains, rocketships, buildings, etc.... fun times.

We visited our proposal spot, right in front of the castle...awwww

There is a new attraction at Disneyland...it's SLEEPING BEAUTY'S CASTLE!!! You actually get to walk inside the Disneyland castle and follow the story...so neat! :)We always have so much fun in the Mad Hatter trying on different hats...

I always love to sit by the pointsettia plants...

Jeremy loves the movie "The Sword In The Stone"

How enchanting...
