Lakers vs Pistons

A few weeks ago, my dad got tickets to the Lakers vs the Pistons at the Staples Center. I was so excited because I have never seen the Lakers in LA. The only Laker game I had ever been to was in Salt Lake when they were playing the Jazz so I was really excited when my dad called and invited us. We got to sit in a box because my dad knows some people who have a box. It was so cool and I was loving it. In between watching the game I was looking for celebrities and found of course Jack Nickleson and Leonardo DiCaprio who are always at the home games. Also there was Kelsey Grammer with his wife and the most exciting one for me was David Beckham. He was there with his kids and could possibly be the cutest dad ever. Even though the Lakers decided to lose their first game of the season while we were there it was still a lot of fun. GO LAKERS!

Halloween

This halloween was pretty laid back. We were invited to a Halloween party by Taylor and Mari. I wasn't planning on dressing up this year but when we got the invite we had to scramble for some costumes. Wes went as his usual soldier and I picked up some fairy wings. I know we are pretty original with our costumes but it was last minute! Anyway we ended up having a great time with Taylor and Mari so it was all worth it. On actual halloween I went to a wedding with my Dad which was eventful in itself. All in all it was a good halloween.

San Diego

At the beginning of October the whole family decided to head to San Diego for a little weekend trip. My dad was at a conference down there and we decided to come and stay with him. He got us all Sea World tickets and we had a great time. Bridget and Ethan loved all the animals and could not get enough. We really had a good time seeing Shamu and all the other animals. We got two day passes so we went two days so we could take in all of the Sea World experience. I did end up getting pooped on by a bird but it turned out ok. We had a super time and can't wait for next year!

It took like 45 min for Wes to take this picture

We just got off the rapid ride and we were soaking

wet. Also, a bird has just pooped on me...good

times!

Happy Birthday Wes!!

On September 22nd Wes turned 25! We had a family party with his family on Saturday and another family party with my family on Sunday. At his parents house we had moose tacos with homemade cheesecake made by his sister, Katie. It was amazing! Then when we went to my parents house we had steak and potatoes as well as an icecream cake that I made for him. Ethan helped him open his presents because he was getting ready for his own birthday which was on the 26th! He had a great birthday and can't wait for more to come!

The Tonight Show and The Dodger Game

On Thursday, July 31st we had that opportunity to go to the taping of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Wes's friend Ricky was able to get us tickets to and so I took off work and we went down there with some of Wes's friends. It ended up that we got to sit in the front row and so we were up close and personal. Rosie Perez was on and the creator of Family Guy so no one too famous but it was still really fun. Apparently July was hotdog month so the audience was given free hotdogs, not that we needed anymore that day. After the taping we went to the Dodger game because it was Mormon night. Since we went with all boys we bought tickets for the all you can eat pavilion. We could eat all the Dodger dogs, nachos, peanuts, and popcorn that we wanted. I had my fill after round one but all the boys definetly ate more than their tickets cost. The Dodgers ended up losing but it really didn't matter. We had a great time regardless even with the stomach aches that came after!

Round OneRound Two....and it didn't stop here

4th of July

This 4th of July was great. I was suppose to work but the Wed before I had eye surgery. I got Lasik surgery so I can now see without any contacts or glasses. It is probably the best thing in the world and I am forever indebted to my parents for helping me with it. I could see as soon as the surgery was over and it only lasted like a min. Anyway, back to the 4th. I was suppose to work but since I had surgery, I had to recuperate. While I was doing that, Wes and I went down to Sunland to watch the parade. When I was little, I loved it but now I realized that I didn't know
any better. We had fun just making fun of it. There were a few cool parts to it like the motorcycle cops and the big trucks. We met up with some friends and went swimming afterward. Then we went back up to Valencia for more fun at the Beckstroms for a BBQ and more swimming. We watched the fireworks at Stevenson Ranch park and had a great time. Thank goodness I didn't have to work!

Disneyland!

Our one year anniversary was on May 5th and I have been begging Wes to take me to Disneyland since we started dating. I got him to agree to go for our anniversary so on Tuesday, May 6th we actually went. I have a season pass and my Dad was able to get a discounted ticket for Wes so there was no excuses. We woke up really early and drove down there but I guess I read the internet wrong because instead of the park opening at 8 it opened at 10 so we were over an hour early. Thankfully they opened the park early. We started over in California Adventure because Wes has never been there and rode all the rides in just over an hour. There was no one there and we just walked on everything. The longest we waited was just 20 min so it was a great day. We had so much fun and it was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. I can't wait for many more years to come, it has been great so far!
