4th of July

Brian and I were so happy that we could go up to Sac to spend the 4th with our fam up there! I look forward to our 4th of July BBQ at my folk's house every year. Lots of amazing food!!! Lots of laughter! And, a great game of Love the Ball. We even had a concert in the family room by those who like to play their guitars. It was a great weekend!Friday we got to go eat at Center Court for mom's b-day and dad's retirement. We were the only ones in the whole restaurant. That was really cool. Our waiter even brought our ice cream sundaes for the kiddos. It was really nice of them. We had a fun time. It was great to spend some time with my family....we really miss them. It has been a hard adjustment for me down here in SoCal...I am not a big fan of it. But, my husband is amazing! He is my everything and I am so lucky to have found such a great guy. We just had our 6 month anniversary yesterday. I cannot believe how fast the first 6 months have gone. I so look forward to all of our adventures we will share together.

Brian and his Dad

For Father's Day, Brian rented a Harley and he and his dad went for rides. They had a blast!!

Lake Elsinore

We are currently looking to buy a house here in Lake Elsinore. This is taken from the lookout on the Ortega Hwy. We really like it here. We are very excited to be moving here the end of the year!

Reeds and Rothes at Huntington Beach

Brian and Karl had fun playing in the sand...they were like two little boys...very cute.

Isabella's first trip to the beach.....Jenn, Isabella and me....cute girls having fun at the beach.Sweet little Isabella ....notice the boys in the background playing in the sand............
We stopped at D-land for a corndog for dinner after the beach......the corndog stand was closed because of some construction they are doing for a Little Mermaid attraction (in California)...we were not happy...closed until 2011. hhmmm, not cool.They did a little re-decorating of the ferris wheel and Screamin' California...new Mickey face on the ferris wheel and the sun that says Paradise Pier on Screamin'. It looks cool. No water yet...still adding all the lazer stuff for the light show they are putting in the lagoon.

I like this pic

Just saw this pic while I was looking at some pics and I liked it so I decided that I would put it on my blog. It was taken the day we went to the sealing of little Isabella to Gill and Karl. Special day.

Take Me Out To The Ballgame

Last week Brian and I went to see the Angels and White Sox play. We went with our very good friends, Jenn (Gill) and Karl Rothe. We got 4 tickets, 4 hot dogs, and 4 drinks for $40. The seats were pretty good considering the price. They look really far away in this picture, but they were really good. We have so much fun with Gill and Karl! I love that we live close enough to them that we can get together often. Last weekend we went down to see them in Calimesa. We took their girls to Chuck E. Cheese and went back to their house to play Price Is Right on their Wii. Fun times!! This weekend we are going to go to the beach with them and get a corndog at Disney California. Brian and I will have to use our passes to go in and get them...they won't have tickets. We can't have them pay $60 for a corndog, right? I love that we have passes and can do crazy things like that. haha

EARTHQUAKE!!!

So, I have just experienced the largest earthquake I personally have ever felt. I did feel the San Francisco one back in 1989, but definitely felt this one more. We just had a 5.0 here in SoCal. I screamed, I totally admit it. Brian and I were just sitting here having a quiet evening watching tv when all of a sudden we were shaking and then before we knew it things were falling all over our living room. The rest of our little home was fine, but the living room had the most fallen. One of the pics behind our sofa fell on Brian. Not hard, but it fell on poor Bri. He and Snoopi went out to check on our car and it was fine.
It was so strange. The sound was horrible. All of a sudden we were shaking and I was thinking a car was going to be coming through the wall we were sitting up against. And then, all of a sudden, that is when the house actually moved from side to side in a very jerky manner and our bookselves looked as if they were going to fall. Incredible. I will not be able to sleep tonight. But, we are fine. No one was hurt. Just a little shaken up. I am ready to move out of California now. ;)
