"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences."

$ Happy Birthday Brody!! $

After I sang a wonderful version of "Happy Birthday" to Brody when we woke up, I thought out loud how it's funny that it feels like we have been together so long, yet we are still not out of our twenties yet. haha. We still have A LOT of fun ahead and wonderful things to look forward to on our own little path in life. : )


Friday night we kicked off his birthday weekend at Disneyland. When we went in to City Hall to get his Birthday pin and my "I'm celebrating" pin, I asked what the phone on the desk was for, the cast member said that Brody should pick it up and find out. Turns out, it's a really cute recording of Goofy saying how excited his is that you are at Disneyland for your Birthday and then sings 'Happy Birthday' to you. We had no idea. That was a fun find!

After dinner we watched the fireworks from Fantasyland, which is pretty fun because you have them on both sides of you. And it offers a different view for photos.

See Tinker bell?


Ok, we had this idea to hold up 29. Brody did the nine and I held up two fingers....well we got it wrong and I had to flip the photo so it didn't say 92. haha. Even though it's hard to see my 2. : )

I thought it was so cute that she put Mickey ears on the O!

Another fun birthday trip to the magic kingdom! : )

Sat morning I got up and made him breakfast while he was out on a ride with some friends!

Birthday boy and his breakfast

We've gotten in to turkey bacon lately, it's really good!

That night we went out to dinner with my parents at Jerry's Famous Deli.

This is one of our new all time favorites! It had been years since I went last. The menu is HUGE, and food is amazing at a great price, with a fun atmosphere! You can't lose! : )

See? Look how good that looks!

Such a fun place! In a nice low key area across from South Coast Plaza.

Some may remember the golf cake I surprised Brody with the year before last. Well he asked that I make another one this year, which I was more than happy to do! It's a lot of fun, and he loves them. This year he picked #7 from Pebble Beach Golf Links (before it was #18).

And here it is!

We dug into this on Sunday night. His official birthday!

This was so fun to make for him, and he LOVED it!!

haha. This started my first birthday we were together, or the first year we were married? Brody got in and blew out most of my candles for me, so ever since we goof around about it.

love this photo : )

Cutting of the cake

And we took our traditional Sunday night drive to watch the Disneyland fireworks!

He made out pretty good in the gift department too. The new Live Strong running shoes he's been wanting, the special edition 50th anniversary Angels hat and Apple TV (which we have been having A LOT of fun with) And his young men brought over cupcakes!

He's very loved and deservedly spoiled!! : )

My Birthday

I was really bad at taking photos during my Birthday. I was too busy enjoying it! : )
My Mom and I went up to DL for lunch. It's always so fun to stop by and see what candy they are making that day. I love how in this photo, you can see a reflection of Main Street as well.
We had such a great lunch at Blue Bayou.
This restaurant has the greatest atmosphere in the world! : )
Our waitress saw my Birthday pin and brought us a free dessert!
Later on, Brody and I went back to the parks for a B-day date night! : )

And Saturday night, we had my traditional Baskin Robbins ice cream cake with the family!
It looked so good I couldn't wait to eat it! ; )
haha, I almost had frosting nose ; )
Love this pic! : )
It was such a great Birthday!

Party & Grinchmas

December is a busy time of year, and Saturday the 18th was no exception.
We started our day with our niece Marley's 1st birthday party.
It was such a darling party! Nikki really knows how to throw a great bash! : )
Everything from the decorations, food, Marley's cute outfit and the DVD of Marley's first year in photos, was fabulous! We had a great time visiting with family! : )
After the party we headed up to Universal Studios for 'Grinchmas', since it was only running a couple days in Dec. It was a rainy day, but that made it all the more fun!!

Mistletoe kisses!!
Since it was raining, why not play in the fountain too?? ; )
The City Walk was so pretty at night in the rain!

Whoo Hoo!! Lets go in!!
On the backlot tour. In the 4D King Kong part of the tour. It was amazing!!!

The Bates Motel part of the tour. That night they had someone coming out of the hotel room carrying a body, putting it in the trunk and then when he saw us, he pulled a knife out and rushed toward the tram! It was awesome!! I hope they keep that part in from now on.
It was even better at night in the rain!! : )
Whoville!!
Had to save Brody from the man eating shark again! : )
Last time my Mom and I went to Universal, we chickened out on the Simpson's ride. It has SO many warnings, and we had no idea what to expect. So this time, we had to go on it, and see that it was nothing to worry about. haha
yup, now there's NO turning back for us!!
It ended up being a ride like Disney's Star Tours, but MUCH more turbulent.
We all had a blast on it! : )
2 thumbs up!
Whoville Christmas tree!
I always wanted to go on the Mummy ride. Well, I braved it, and it terrified me!! I won't be going on it again, but at least I did it once! : )
Thumbs down!
yes, it is dry inside, but freaky!!

It was SUCH a fun day!!! : )
