Heart Day

I hope everybody had a wonderful heart day! I have to say that I do not really celebrate this holiday. I believe that you should show your love every single day of the year, not just reserve it all in one day. Although, I still like getting the presents haha.

My day consisted of:
♥ Playing with babies in the nursery.
♥ Cleaning the house
♥ Spending a little quality time with my hubby
♥ Watching Donnie Darko, Zombieland, and playing Little Big Planet with these awesome people:


Apparently that is the only picture I have of the four of us.

Overall it was a good day. Now for 364 more days of love! <3

Stomp!

For Christmas my mother gave my whole family and my cousin Kim tickets to go see "Stomp" at the Pantages in Hollywood! I was excited to spend the day with my family. I love it when we all get together. Family time is very important to me. =)

First we went to Kabuki Japanese restaurant in Hollywood. That place is delicious!



The family minus mom who was behind the camera



Yummy!



Alex bet Dad $50 that he wouldn't eat the ball of Wasabi. He did. =)



Then Dad gave Alex the chance to relieve his debt if Alex did the same. After a lot of pressure from us he did!



Kim and I sharing Banana Tempura. It was SO yummy!




After lunch it was time for the play which was amazing! There was all music and little talking. The most impressive part was that they didn't use instruments to make their music. They used things like cans, matchboxes, and their own feet and hands.








After the play we decided to take the subway to Hollywood. We missed the train and had to wait 15 minutes for another one. The joke of the day was to get a picture of Dad with Andrea or just Dad smiling in general, so we tried to do that while we were waiting haha. We also took a lot of pictures so I put them here for your viewing pleasure. lol












There is a lot going on in this picture and I just love it. Andrea is trying to sneak a picture with my dad and is following him, Jonathan is goofing off, and I'm not sure what mom is doing. But I love it.



Being forced into a picture by Mom. hehe








We ate Dewar's ice cream at Disney Soda Fountain and then headed back on the subway to go home.





It was a wonderful family day that I wouldn't trade for anything! <3

Superbowl

I'm not that big of fan of football, but I couldn't pass up the chance to spend time with family and eat yummy food!

My super bowl consisted of:

Yummy food
Hilarious commercials- "Keep your hands off my mama, Keep your hands off my Doritios!"
Family time
An intense game of Disney: Scene it?

=)

January 2010

Long time no blog! I'm beginning to see a pattern here. =)

January was a month filled with mini adventures and the usual day-to-day life. I spent two weeks subbing, one week sick as a dog, and the last week of the month getting over a neck injury I obtained from coughing so much (and am still recovering from). Needless to say I am looking forward to getting back into my normal work and gym routine since I haven't been able to do that in two weeks!

Here are some more exciting events of the month:

We spent New Years with Erin, Carl, and Carl's family at the bowling alley. I have always enjoyed bowling and it was nice to have plans for New Years for once.



The hubby



Erin and me



Bowling!



Goofballs




Last weekend my mom, my sister, and I went to go see Riverdance! It was different than what I expected, but still a fun girls trip!



Snow!



Trying Thai food for the first time! It was good. Just a lot of food! haha



Sister, mom, and me



Super yummy cupcakes! I MUST have them again!




Last Monday I went to Disneyland with my friend Brynna, her parents, and her daughter to celebrate her daughter's 4th birthday! It was so fun and I had a great time!



Meeting Minnie



Meeting Mickey



The Birthday Girl and me. I just love her to death!




More exciting events to come in February...stay tuned! =)

Reflecting on 2009!

It is hard to believe that this year is coming to an end. I honestly feel like it just started! However, I do feel like I have grown quite a lot in this year. Many things have happened this year, some I would rather forget but everything happens fora reason and we grow from it. This year I:

Subbed in Kindergarten through 8th grade classes
Discovered that I had skin cancer
Filed taxes as a married couple =)
Started my 100 list! (Which has proven to be very fun!)
Celebrated 10 years together with my husband
Gained new friends
Lost old friends
Discovered and fell in love with Zumba
Joined a new gym
Became obsessed with Twilight
Saw many amazing plays with my mom and sister (more to come in 2010!)
Starting cooking a lot more
Adopted my two kitties, Mia and Shelby
Shot a gun for the first time
Became a fourth of a century old
Went to Vegas and it wasn't as fun as I remembered it from four years ago
Welcomed many new babies into the world
Bought a new (used) truck
Spent the holidays with my family


It has really been a good year and I am very blessed. I am excited to see what 2010 will hold.


Have a safe and happy new year and I hope you are blessed in 2010!

A Holly Jolly Christmas

My favorite time of the year has come and then went in a flash! It is amazing how much time we spend preparing for that day and then it comes and goes so suddenly. Here are a few pictures from our Christmas.

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Christmas and has a blessed 2010!

LA Kings Game

For Jonathan's birthday (December 11) we went with our friends to see an LA Kings game! It was my first professional game and I was so excited!!!

Note: I don't know why the pictures won't get smaller. I've tried everything. Oh well. lol

Happy Birthday honey!

We were in the center. It was a BIG place! haha
