Happy B-Day to me......

So Monday was my birthday and it was quite a nice b-day.....I can't believe that I am 25. I can remember when I was 16 and I would say, "It will be crazy when I'm 25, I can't even imagine!." And BOOM here it is! On Sunday my mother'n'law Diane had all of Bobby's family and all of my family over for some BBQing and hanging out....it was a lot of fun and really chill. Just how I like it. The next day I went out to dinner with my family. So all in all its great to 25! Here's a funny video of me when I was four and in the wonderful world of modeling and acting!!!

4th of July!

4th of July was a lot of fun we got to spend it with both sides of our families. My mom had a bbq/swim party and all the family came. Bobby's parents also came to hang out. And my Bro Nathan was able to be here (even though he was leaving the next morning). It was nice to chill out and relax. Later that night it was off to the fireworks. My mom and brothers and my niece Kierra decided to come along for the show. We sat with Bobby's family who are always a lot of fun at these things. Bobby's mom, Diane had bought all these fun light up toys that kierra and Logan were getting a kick out of. Then the fireworks started and we were so close. One of the the church buildings are right behind where they do the fireworks, so it is a front row seat and I mean front row!!! It is also very loud and Kierra got really scared and would not let my mom go....half way through she eventually fell asleep! he he Logan at first was a little startled ( I remember last year he was terrified and nearly cried through the whole thing), but then he got excited and would say "Wow", "What's that?", and "Cool!" but then towards the end when it would be between fireworks he would say "All done", "let's go home" He was quite the crack up. It was a wonderful day and we are so fortunate to be able to spend it with our families. Its was just how we wanted it to be!

Pirate Party!

So my brother Nathan came down from florida....for those of you who don't know he is up there going to school up there for special effects in movies...I'm not sure what the term is for it and i'm sure he'll correct me when he sees this, but he is doing really great and is really advanced. So much so that everyone asks him for help and he is recognized by his teachers as a top student! Awesome! Anyways he was down here for a week (being on a accelerated program where you get you bachelor degree in two years) thats all he gets.

So while he was down we tried to do as many fun things as possible. The friday, July 3rd, my mom, Nathan, Bradley, kellyn, her friend Mila, Bobby and I went to go see the Priate Show down in Brea! Let me tell ya it was tons of fun. Bradley, Kellyn, Mila, Bobby and I all got called down to do something in the show........Below is some video from that night......its quite funny!




Six guys were picked from each pirate color...Bobby was one of them! He had to take a bean bag and get four of our rows to pass it along...He had to cheer and yell and do all sorts of things to get them to move it fast. It's pretty funny! Once you got to the end he had to grab the bean bag and run down the stairs and then toss it up to the pirate who then swings across the rope. The first one to get there wins. Well Bobby definitely by far threw it to our pirate before all the others but I think so that our pirate didn't win everything he kind of piddle paddle around for the others to catch up so we ended up getting a tie...Lamo!!! Bobby totally won!

Bradley also got to go down and when they were doing the big pirate seen he got to dress up like a pirate and lug a big treasure chest of gold along with a bunch of other boys...it was quite funny...didn't get it on video, but wish I had.




This is video of Kellyn and I getting to do the raise the flag race! It was the two of us and another girl and we had to run to the treasure chests and pull out the flag and run to our stations and hoist the flags to the top. Once all three of our flags were up our pirate got to swing to the center......And YES we WON! Of course what else would you expect! We even brought home our marti gras necklace that we won or the "treasure" (that's what they called it!

Mila also got chosen and she had to hold the pirate flag and then had to toss these bean bags up to our pirate who had to swing back and forth and put them in the basket....whoever got all six in first won.....And guess what......They WON! To cool for school! I wasn't able to get the video for it but it was awesome!!!!

All in all it was a lot of fun and we enjoyed it a bunch! Oh ya and we were the awesome red team!

No work all Play!

Last Thursday Bobby and I decided to just take the day off and take Logan up to the Santa Barbara zoo. It was so much fun and Logan had a blast seeing all the animals. He is definitely an outdoors kid. Its pretty funny because Logan loves the movie Madagascar 2 in which the lions name is Alex, the zebra's name is Marty, the giraffes name if Melman and the penguins name is Skipper. So every time we got to one of those animals he would yell the name Alex, or Melman. It was pretty funny! The elephants smelled pretty bad so every time we would go by them Logan would cry "Nose, Nose", he didn't like it either. But by far his favorite was the Lions or Alex. He didn't want to leave them. But his daddy's favorite was the Gorillas, let me tell you those things are quite scary and they were very active when we were there. They kept running as hard as they could and slamming into the door where the zoo crew comes in. And then they would proceed to pace and stare at the spectators above. It was funny but yet quite creepy! But all in all it was wonderful to spend time together. We also on the way home were able to stop and visit my aunt Lisa, which was very nice to see her. It was a good day!

Happy Fathers Day!

Well its a belated fathers day post. That morning I let Bobby sleep in and let logan go in and wake him up. He woke up to a super clean home and some good smelling breakfast. He is such a wonderful father and he teaches Logan so many things. He is by far Logan's favorite person and he loves spending time with him. He is always there for us and supports our family to the fullest. We are so grateful to have him in our lives. We love you Bobby/Daddy!!!

A little Bit of Dirty Dancing!

A few weeks ago, Diane took me, Bobby's grandma, Aunt Shannon and my mom to go see Dirty Dancing. I hadn't seen the movie in a long time so I couldn't really remember what went on in it. I do though remember the song (which I never really liked very much....some could say I despise it) But I am happy to say I really enjoyed the show. If you are up for some sultry, hot and spicy dancing I definitely recommend. We had a lot of fun...just the girls...We also went to the famous Mel's dinner downtown...it has been around for many years. They had some good food. But most of all we really enjoyed eachothers company. Thanks Diane!!!

Mammoth Trip

So instead of going to Bridgeport, CA this year we went up to mammoth, ca. It was so beautiful up there. There was even a little snow left over for us....which Logan loved to play in. We stayed in a cabin that was right by Lake Mary. While up there we took a little side trip to Bishop, Ca for mule days....did know that there was such a big turn out but it was packed! We also took a gondola ride up to the top of the mountains which was so beautiful...I think we were like 12,000ft up!! scary!!!! I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with Bobby and Logan sometimes trips like these only bring you closer together. Logan also had a fun time with his grandparents, great grandparents, uncles and cousins. He loves being around family and having fun. It was a fun trip and we enjoyed the time we spent together.

Really I am Alive!

A Day at the Park

So a little bit ago we took Logan to the park and we have found out that he is a little dare devil. The first thing that he went to on this huge playground was the three spiral slide. I tried to convince him that he should try the smaller ones first, but he insisted on doing the big one. He also found this little rock that you can climb and proceed to pull his dad over so he could climb it so I took this cute picture of Bobby and Logan sitting on top of the rock!

So last Saturday my friend Crystal got four tickets to go see Thomas and Friends live.....so logan and I went with her and her little boy Andrew.....the boys loved it....Andrew would start to shake everytime Thomas came out....and Logan would dance and sing and say choo choo......but i guess all good things can't last because in the second half of the show logan decided he didn't want to sit still anymore and proceeded to scream and cry and throw his pacifier about four seats up!!!ah ah It was still a lot of fun and the boys got a kick out of it!
