Incredible Pics From Alaska

I know, I know.....Alaska again? Well, looking through my cell phone pics I found some great pics that I hadn't shared from that trip. Most of them were part of older photo collections (Drinks, 22, What Not To Wear, Signs, Bathrooms) but there are a few others that warranted sharing as well.

A Fun Birthday At Disneyland

So much fun! Check out how these kids are all dressed alike too, every one of them has thermal sleeves. So funny.

Happy Third Birthday Sydney!

I can't believe you are three! I love you sweetheart and I am so lucky to be your mommy!!! Thanks to all the cousins, Matt, Rachel, Grandma and Grandpa for joining us for Disneyland today!!!!

Panda's At The San Diego Zoo

Depicted below you will find two pictures taken in Panda Canyon at the San Diego Zoo. The first picture shows what we saw according to the San Diego Zoo.....the second picture shows what we actually saw.

The Weekly Catch-Up (2011, Week 13)

Home: Brooke and Sydney both had an odd virus during the last week. It appears that they probably got it from Nathan as he had a similar virus that started 4 days earlier. It basically consisted of odd pooping and vomiting for about 6 days. They would eat a couple good meals, we would think it was over and then they would throw-up again the next day. Odd part is it didn't come with the normal "I'm sick-whining", they would literally throw-up, give you a look like "What just happened" and then go about their business. Odd-but luckily it's over.

Sunday, we discovered that our dishwasher has been leaking (for awhile) and some of the kitchen cabinets, walls and possibly flooring has water damage. Lovely. Demolition on that part of the kitchen starts on Tuesday. Despite our kitchen issues I managed to make dinner every night and good dinners at that. We had Gemelli Pasta, Mediterranean Chicken and Balsamic Vinegar/Garlic Chicken from For the Love of Cooking. Both were excellent. We also tried the Chicken Enchilladas recipe from the Cheeky Kitchen-I was really happy with those.

"Tangled" was purchased and watched on Tuesday. Sydney was thrilled with this addition to our Disney collection and we have watched it now more times than I care to admit.

In case you missed it, James won the Price is Right this week!

David will be starting a new job on April 18th and we are really excited for that. In celebration he has outfitted himself with a Motorola Xoom and I have to admit it is pretty darn cool! While not as sleek in my opinion as the IPAD, I love the open source and ability to customize the Android OS, also love not being held hostage by Itunes. It makes me wonder when we will have a new Dell Tablet-I can't wait!

Other Highlights include: A visit to the Grilled Cheese Truck, Gigi's Farmers Market on Saturday morning at the Americana.

Work: I managed to stay on track with my planning system this week and completed all my big items except one this week. I had a great lunch with the Glendale/Pasadena team thanking them for a job well done on a Severity 2 a few weeks ago. We went to "Frida" and had a good time. Enjoyed a good visit with Anne Marie this week and she is very pleased with how the FSO teams are doing.

Other: I failed to play any April Fools jokes this year

Big Bugs and Three Seals

Scrubs At Disneyland?

When I worked in the laboratory, I wore scrubs about twice a week-and I loved wearing my scrubs. Scrubs are comfortable, depending on the type they can be cute and for clinical work, very practical. Having said that, these scrubs arent cute and there is no clinical work at Disneyland.

I Don't Usually Stereotype People

But I found it incredibly hard to believe that this woman was the "A1" check-in on my flight from Burbank to San Jose.

Something On A Stick Day

Today, was something on a stick day.....in honor of the special day, and Queen B we celebrated ;)

New Universal Symbol

While we were watching James win the showcase on the Price is Right tonight the following conversation ensued:

Sydney: Mom, why does James do that?
Me: What?

Sydney: (See picture below) Thats funny!

Me: Apparantely it's the universal symbol for I just won something on the Price is Right.

James Evans......Come On Down

In case you didn't know, James won the showcase today on the Price is Right!!!!! His winnings? A trampoline (When Sydney saw it she exclaimed, Mom, that looks fun!!!!), $1000.00, maid service for a year, a bedroom set and a red Mazda Miata.
