In case you were wondering...

We're there!

2012-02-03T15:56:00.000-08:00

This pic is from last Saturday, the 38 week mark. We were hoping this was the last picture we would have to take, but it's looking like I will hit 39 weeks after all. My mid-wife thinks I'll deliver this weekend, but I'm not feeling it. I actually hope we don't because there is a massive storm here in Castle Rock and we have gotten over a foot of snow in the last 12 hours, and it doesn't seem to be letting up at all. As of last Tuesday, I was dilated at 1 cm but 80% effaced. She said she could actually feel the baby's head when she checked me!

Nine months (36 weeks)!

2012-01-13T19:28:00.000-08:00

Shirt's working extra hard today. It doesn't quite cover the whole tummy anymore!

Just got these yesterday! Hopefully you get yours before Christmas!

2011-12-22T13:57:00.000-08:00

Really cool!

This needs to happen

2011-12-07T08:35:00.000-08:00

I would love to get this on a shirt. I would then wear the shirt to Disneyland and probably offend half of the park. Why do people think this okay?!

Christmas photos

2011-12-06T12:29:00.000-08:00

Originally we planned on taking pictures out in the snow, but then the low hit -4 degrees and I called that nonsense off.. Uh, no thanks on that. So I demanded we take pictures in the house. I didn't get much of an argument from Brad. He knows I get cold when it's 70 degrees!

2011-12-01T15:26:00.000-08:00

I haven't taken very many pictures throughout the pregnancy, but Brad managed to get one over the Thanksgiving weekend. Here I am at 29 weeks. For those of you who prefer months (like me) it's seven months and one week. Yesterday we had an interesting experience! I went in for a check-up and ended up getting sent to the ER! My midwife started measuring my contractions during my check-up and I was contracting every four minutes! I couldn't even feel most of them! When I got to the hospital, they gave me a shot to stop the contractions. I don't remember what the medicine was called, but I know it started with a T. All I know is I'm grateful for modern medicine. For a minute there, I was scared I might have a baby. I know it was far-fetched, but I've never had a baby before, so I got nervous! I haven't bought anything yet, so that was truly a reality check. I should probably start buying all of that stuff. Can't wait to meet Jovie Joanne!

I encounter this three out of four Sundays a month.

2011-11-15T10:08:00.000-08:00

I feel this way pretty much all the time.

2011-11-02T14:14:00.001-07:00

Dinner Last Night

2011-11-02T14:00:00.001-07:00

This is what I made for dinner last night. I thought it was pretty good and really easy to make! Adding some veggies would have been ideal, I just wasn't keen on driving to the store to get them since we had a blizzard last night! Click here to go to the website and get the recipe.

2011-11-01T18:17:00.000-07:00

I decided that I needed to put up pictures of the new house we're currently renting. I think it's a pretty cute house. It's older, but it will do for the next year! One of the pictures is of the Halloween garland I made last year. I had a lot of fun making it! It makes me think of The Nightmare Before Christmas!

I love the backyard. It's enormous and the dogs love it!

2011-10-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

I made this for a lady I visit teach. I thought it was a quick, fun idea and tasty too! I just dipped oreos and nutter butters in some chocolate. Voila! Next time I think I will add more to the bouquet to make it more festive, but I don't think it turned out too bad for a last minute thing. I looooove Halloween!

2011-09-27T16:13:00.000-07:00

Well, when I took a break, I didn't think it was going to be for this long! So much has happened; it's hard to know where to start. Let's start with the move. Castle Rock will be our new home come this October. I can hardly wait to witness this thing they call "Fall". And from what I hear, snow on Christmas is not unheard of. I can think of nothing better than a white Christmas!

This will be the last Christmas as a family of two. That's right. I'm preggers. We're going on three now. Never thought the day would come. As of this coming Thursday, I will be 21 weeks along. That's over halfway! We will be having a little girl. I can hardly stand the excitement of it all. I think we are going to name her Jovie, but I don't want to say it's for sure just because things always change in this house! I'm due February 11, so she will be right in time for Valentine's Day.

I had a pretty hard time up until about four months. What's funny is that I only discovered I was pregnant after turning down Mexican food on multiple occasions. I knew something had to be wrong and by the advice of my mother-in-law, took a test finally. Being pregnant was the only thing that would come between me and Mexican food. I'm starting to show some, unfortunately it just looks as though I've given up on dieting. I'm currently in the in-between stage and it's not fun putting on clothes. I've gotten used to having a rubber band in my pocket so I can loop the hole in my pants rather than button them. At least I've gotten more time out of my regular clothes!

Today my stomach is changing a little in that it's beginning to feel harder and fuller ALL the time. I used to just feel blubbery, but now it's like there's a soccer ball in there. Every now and then she does a big move and it's the craziest feeling ever! I'll whip up my shirt just to see what kind of movement is going on down there. Words cannot describe it. So cool!!

This weekend we take our last trip to Disneyland for a while, and then who knows when we'll be back. Castle Rock is quite a bit further from Anaheim than Mesa! :(

Blogged out

2009-10-27T08:18:00.000-07:00

Okay, so change of plans. I'm blogged out. I need a break. I will come back someday when life has something fun and exciting to offer. Until then, peace out!

To be or not to be..... Private......

2009-09-14T10:32:00.000-07:00

I hate when I see people have blocked their blogs, but like my friend Julie, I've gotten some comments from some weird Latvians that I'd prefer not to get. If you want to be added to my list of friends that can see my blog, shoot me an email to this address- lisasblog1400@gmail.com. Don't worry, no one has to see your email address, it's just me. =)

I would react this way too.

2009-08-25T20:34:00.000-07:00

The day I got punked.

2009-08-17T10:23:00.000-07:00

Last night I attended a fireside with all of the youth from the stake. The first half of the fireside was dedicated to meeting all of the bishops from the stake. We got to hear a funny story about each one of them and it made me think of what story I would tell about Brad if the time ever came. I have a GREAT one. Before I go on I think it's important to mention that I'm scared of ghosts and being in the dark. Pathetic? Check! But I'm a lot of fun in scary movies. This story goes back to when we first moved into our house. We had our usual morning routine. The alarm would go off, Brad would hop in the shower and I would go downstairs and start breakfast. This particular morning it was especially dark in the house as all the hall lights had been turned off and it was so early in the morning that the sun hadn't even come up yet. I fumbled down the stairs, went into the kitchen and turned on the light as fast as I could so it wasn't dark anymore. That's when my jaw hit the floor. Every single cabinet and every single drawer was opened. I immediately bolted around the corner, flew up the stairs faster than I had ever run with my head slightly looking back to make sure the monsters weren't following me up the stairs. I ran into the bathroom to tell Brad about the ghosts downstairs. Halfway into my story he busted up laughing and revealed to me that he had opened all of the cabinets/drawers the night before. He was nice enough to point out that my face was whiter than anything he had ever seen. He also mentioned that he had considered laying down in the shower and rocking back and forth so that when I came up the stairs I would find him in the fetal position, but he realized I probably would've had a heart attack had he done that. Looking back it was the scariest two minutes of my life, but it was the best prank I think anyone could've ever pulled. I still haven't figured out a way to get back at him.

2009-07-14T19:44:00.000-07:00

What were you doing four years ago today? I bet you don't remember, but I remember. Wow.... Can't believe it's been four years. And to think, I got married on a day as hot as today. Ouch. Check out the cake. It even started melting. And by the way Beth, my hair was a beaut! I wish I still had it all!! =(

2009-07-13T16:28:00.000-07:00

This is quite possibly the best picture that has ever been taken. I was ironing some clothes the other day and noticed that it had been a while since anyone in our household had used the wonderful Ab Lounge (obviously). I think it's doing a great job holding our blankets though. Keep it up!

Also, for anyone who knows about our cupcake business, it seems we may finally be getting closer to having things all set. Check it out here.

If this is true

2009-06-25T14:59:00.000-07:00

KTAR is reporting that Michael Jackson died today. I will be extremely sad. I needed to see a concert. Just one... :(

I want I want I want, I need I need, gimme gimme gimme (name that movie)

2009-06-25T08:57:00.000-07:00

I desperately need Christmas music right now. Is it too early?

You might be a redneck if.....

2009-06-22T19:28:00.000-07:00

Nascar has a new fan, or at least it would seem that way now that Brad's lost his front tooth. His temporary bridge fell out over the weekend while we were at Disneyland. We had quite a good time with it. At first he was pretty embarrassed, but by the end of the day he was thinking about sporting some overalls and sucking on a piece of straw. He plays hick really well. I insisted we take a picture and put it on the blog. I thought I was going to have to fight for it, but he agreed with no pressure, which worries me a little. Luckily he was able to get the bridge fixed this morning, but I will miss Hick Brad.

I don't think I've ever laughed harder-

2009-06-12T16:20:00.001-07:00

2009-06-04T13:16:00.000-07:00

So I'm going to shock everyone in the world right now. I had my first ultrasound yesterday. Yup! And this is where you all get sad. No, I'm not preggo. I actually had an ultrasound done on my neck. For the past year or so I've had this sensation like there's something stuck in my throat. You know how it is when you swallow a pill and it just sticks in your throat? I've had that for about a year now. It stinks! I thought it was just acid reflux but it turns out I have a couple of "growths" on my trachea. The woman who did the ultrasound didn't seem too concerned with the term "growth" so I don't know if I'm supposed to be worried or not, but I should be hearing from my doctor by tomorrow. I'll let you all know what the word is. In the meantime, I figured most people post their first ultrasound picture of their baby- here's a picture of the trachea. Awww, so tender, right?!

2009-06-01T11:59:00.000-07:00

I kind of consider this to be my journal so here it goes. I had something that I wanted to write down because I think it's important. I want to make sure that if I ever start thinking this way again, I can give myself a reality check. As I sat in church yesterday, I realized that all I could think about were the things I needed to get done this week. Laundry, dusting, vacuuming, cupcakes, homework, blah blah blah. What's even worse was that I was getting upset that I had all of these commitments for church and work that I was getting resentful. I constantly have thoughts like, "I don't have time for mutual this week, I have too much homework" or "I don't have time to help someone in the ward. I work a full-time job and my time at home is spent taking care of the things I can't get done during the day". Then it hit me. Those temporal things that I'm filling my time with don't matter. I get so worked up about not having enough time for anything, but when it all comes down to it, whether or not I'm able to make a home cooked meal for dinner tonight is not really important. I am so glad that I was able to realize this. I'm not superwoman and sometimes things won't get done. Big deal! I know that what I need to focus on is reading my scriptures, going to church, serving others- things of a more eternal nature. Those are the things that count. It doesn't matter that my house isn't impeccably clean or that it takes me years and years to complete a bachelors degree instead of the standard four that most people do it in. All of those things are temporal and I need to be focused on the eternal aspect of things. I even put up a post-it note on my computer at work so that when I start getting overwhelmed with life, I can remind myself that "Whatever it is you're stressing about, IT DOESN'T MATTER!" So far it's worked. =)

These are a few of my favorite things.

2009-05-29T23:19:00.000-07:00

Simply stunning. And this guy's toe touch?! Is he human? And oh yah, the obsession has begun. If you call me on Wednesday or Thursday night, I won't answer my phone cause I'll be glued to the TV. Let's be honest, I never answer that phone anyways, right?!

2009-05-27T08:17:00.000-07:00

Meet Archie. He's staying with us until he finds a new home. Let me know if you're interested in adopting him!

2009-05-21T19:56:00.000-07:00

So I love rain. I thought I'd be creative and try to take some class A pics, but that didn't happen. Although, I thought this one here was pretty tight. It kind of looks like it's raining fire. I came to the conclusion that I needed an assistant to hold an umbrella over me and also that I probably looked like an absolute tool laying on the street as I took this beauty. Enjoy.

Brad finally won

2009-05-17T10:19:00.000-07:00

Here it is. I finally did it. I told the girl that if I started crying, it wasn't because I didn't like it, it was just because I was going to miss the long hair! It's been several years so it's going to take some getting used to. I'm already missing the pony tail option, that's for sure.

2009-03-08T21:03:00.000-07:00

Believe it or not, I went to California Adventure for the first time last month. It was actually my second time, but the first time didn't count since I was with little boys and I didn't get to ride anything worth mentioning. This time it was a blast. The Tower of Terror is my new favorite thing. This picture was taken in front of Soarin Over California. Such a cool ride! I love planes! Hopefully we'll get to go again for my birthday this month.

Be jealous

2009-02-25T05:41:00.000-08:00

I recently bought tickets to go see Wicked at Gammage in July. See, I told you you'd be jealous. I can hardly contain my excitement. I listen to the music and it brings tears to my eyes, it even gives me goosebumps! I don't know why, maybe I feel sympathy for the main character, but the music is just out of this world. I can only imagine how great it will be to see the actual musical. I've always been fascinated by the Wizard of Oz, but this really brings the story to life for me. I highly recommend everyone buy tickets. I'm sure you'll love it! I've included a couple of my favorite songs for you to listen to. The last few measures to each of these songs is so powerful!

Here's a summary of the story:

Wicked tells the story of Elpheba, the future Wicked Witch of the West and her relationship with Glinda, the Good Witch of the North. Their friendship struggles through their opposing personalities and viewpoints, rivalry over the same love-interest, their reactions to the Wizard's corrupt government, and, ultimately, Elphaba's public fall from grace. The plot is set mostly before Dorothy's arrival from Kansas.

I guess this means my husband likes me.

2009-02-15T10:55:00.000-08:00

This weekend has been somewhat crazy. We've had a lot do since this weekend is our first "gig" (don't know what else to call it) but I just wanted to take a minute and show everyone how nice of a husband I have. He got me the hottest bouquet of flowers. Red, white, and pink roses and tulips; does it get any better than that? PS- I'll follow this up with some pictures from the party.

Hi, my name is...

2008-12-23T10:53:00.000-08:00

No, this is not slim shady. This is Penny. She is a miniature dachshund that I am fostering for the next little while here. Is anyone interested in adopting her? I would keep her if my husband would let me, but apparently three's too many dogs for this household. She is the sweetest dog I have ever come across. She's been with us since Saturday and I have yet to hear her bark. She's four years old and is very cuddly. If anyone's interested let me know and I can help you with the adoption process!

2008-12-18T08:57:00.000-08:00

I'm going through the temple for the first time tomorrow!

One last post for the day. I promise.

2008-12-01T19:49:00.000-08:00

Let's just say I've had nothing to do today. For those of you who've asked to see my tree, here it is. Yes, the "Candyland threw up" tree. Thanks for coming up with that name? I think it was a compliment... Oh well. Like I care! It's red and white. That's all that matters to me!

1979- More than just a Smashing Pumpkins song

2008-12-01T18:24:00.000-08:00

On 11-29-1979, Kathy Edmunds gave birth to teeny little Brad and Leslie. Saturday night they turned 29 for their first out of many 29th birthdays. Here are some pictures of the "raging" party we had.

Slippery Slope

2008-12-01T17:54:00.001-08:00

I don't contribute to the blog much. Lisa bounces ideas off of me from time to time and I give input. I have felt a need to educate myself a bit more politically lately and I have enjoyed some of the counsel from our past leaders of the church on the topic. I recently discovered some good talks on the topic of socialism. If you are interested let me know and I can shoot some links out. Lisa found this one today though and I appreciate her insight on this. Take a look. Obviously this link will take you to a conservative slant on the issue, but I think the message is clear. This isn't about being conservative, liberal, independent, etc. This is a free speech issue. Click here!

Turkey day humor

2008-12-01T06:11:00.001-08:00

Every second of this weekend was filled with activities. I have a lot to blog about but I'll start out with this story. We had Thanksgiving at my parent's house last Thursday and the whole gang came. It was a good time! The kids were running around as usual but one of them was stuck by my side for a short while. I think the fact that I have long hair makes her a little partial, like I might turn into a Disney character at any moment because of the hair... Whatever... Anyways, we had a conversation I will never forget.

Olivia: Aunt Lisa? I love your shirt, I love your shorts and I love your tights!
Lisa: What about my boots, Olivia? Don't you like those?
Olivia (leaning in and whispering): I like your boobs, but I'm not supposed to talk about boobs.
Lisa: Not my boobs silly, my boots. You know, my shoes? Don't you like my boots, too?
Olivia: Oh yah, I like you're boots.

Kids say the darndest things!

Edmunds Clan '08 style

2008-11-27T19:26:00.000-08:00

Took some pics last week at the park. We rocked that park like it was nobody's business.

Of course I took the test!

2008-11-23T13:13:00.000-08:00

Why wouldn't I?! It's Sunday afternoon and I have nothing to do... Give me a break. And PS- Saw the flick, thought it was entertaining. Yah, it laid on the cheese factor quite a bit and the effects were....well, it wasn't a Peter Jackson film that's for sure. Still, I had a good time and I fully intend on seeing the second one. For those of you who say you didn't like it, I don't believe you. That's like when people say they hate their mother. Even people who hate their mother love their mother.

Thanks to Lauryn I have another cute as all get out blog. She is wonderful and comes up with the best designs! Click here to get to her website. Seriously, go there right now.

This is for Norm...

2008-11-08T20:44:00.001-08:00

Here's what we're looking to do. I would want it to be white to match the base boards.

Christmas Blues

2008-11-03T11:54:00.001-08:00

I have a confession to make. I am already listening to Christmas music. If you go to slacker.com you can pull up "Holiday Music" and listen all day long! I think I'm going to cut myself off after today though (until 11/15) because I'm still hot as all get out when I walk to my car after work. What's that about?! I think this is the first year I've been sad that I don't have snow and I'm sad that I live in Arizona. Christmas needs to be white! I hope I get a white Christmas sometime in my life.

Happy Halloween!

2008-11-01T11:04:00.000-07:00

Last night was so fun! We didn't really do all that much but that's what made it such a good night. Here's a picture of my set up. The little kids all loved it. What was even cuter was that our newly acquired cat, Clyde, was hanging around. He's the cutest black cat and everyone loved him. He just chilled out on the porch as people came to the door. I sat out and just read Twilight as the kiddos came. Can I just say, I understand the hype with that book. So good! I just got to the part where Bella finds out Edward is a vampire. Good stuff!

Food, glorious food

2008-10-23T14:33:00.001-07:00

Are you singing the song? I went to the nutritionist yesterday (not a nutritionist but I don't know what else to call the guy) and he had some bad news for me. He informed me that I need to stop eating my terrible diet and get on a gluten free diet. My heart dropped when he said that. He then proceeded to tell me that I not only need to go on a gluten free diet but that I need to stop eating dairy and carbs..... yah...... Are you laughing yet? It's as if he said (all you Brian Regan fans will appreciate this) "and no more happiness!". I don't think I'm going to go back to this guy again after that convo. I'm pretty sure he eats food to get himself through the day. I, on the other hand, eat food because it's frickin good and I look forward to it all day. It's constantly on my mind! Another interesting thing this guy brought up- he wants me to stop wearing a bra (yah right!). Apparently the underwire in bras makes it so that your energy can't travel properly throughout your body. I must say that I turned up his "awesome dial" several notches when he referred to me as a "big chested" person. Never thought I'd hear those words.

2008-10-01T17:10:00.000-07:00

Last Friday was our most recent visit to Disneyland (we already have plans to go the day after Thanksgiving. This time we took a posse with us so it was so much fun. After several excursions to the happiest place on earth I think I can safely say that Fall is the best time of year to go. We hardly waited in any lines! It was tight! And to top the weekend off, I was somehow able to coerce my husband into taking me to get sushi at the Blue Wasabi. He must have been in a really good mood since I've been trying to get him to do that for months now!

2008-09-18T13:56:00.000-07:00

A few days ago I was informed that I have to make a goal along with the Young Women in the ward for Young Women in Excellence. I was already overwhelmed as it was since I am the Personal Progress secretary and I'm in charge of the evening itself (November 5 if anyone wants to help...lol). Now that I have to accomplish a goal for myself I'm even more overwhelmed. I gave it a lot of thought and I decided that I'm going to participate in a half marathon. I'm stoked as all get out. I don't know why as I'm usually not a runner, but for some reason I just feel this need to do it. Maybe because I'm feeling a little vulnerable with life right now and it would be a way to have a little control of my destiny. Either way I'm doing it. I need all of my friends to support me cause heaven knows I'm going to want to give up every other day of the week. I can't give up though! This is my before picture. Hopefully the after picture will be a lot better!

The old days

2008-09-13T09:29:00.000-07:00

I recently cleaned out a desk of ours and found a CD with photos on it that I had completely forgotten about. I guess I should clean more often! These pictures were taken for the engagement photos. Oh memories!

This one's for B-rad

2008-09-08T16:26:00.001-07:00

Dear husband,

I see that you and the rest of the world are currently laughing at the Patriots because of their recent loss. Call it karma, whatever... All I know is that I'm going for the Patriots now. You are all mean! Poor Tom.

Yes, I'm already excited for Halloween. Who gives?!

2008-09-01T16:02:00.000-07:00

It's September 1, so you bet your booty I'm all about getting the decorations up. Most of you that know me well know that Halloween is right up there with Christmas for me. Thanks again Lauryn for creating this awesome blog!

It's no Ansel Adams picture but still...

2008-08-09T10:26:00.001-07:00

This has got to be one of my favorite pictures at the moment. This is our dog Toopers and Blake and Al's dog, Archie. They love each other so much, can't you tell?

My bucket list

2008-08-02T21:33:00.000-07:00

I got to thinking today, there are so many things I want to do in this lifetime. Then I remembered that movie, The Bucket List, and thought maybe I should start one. Kind of cheesy, I know, but at the same time, what's wrong with making goals? I think it's a cool idea so here it goes.

1. Go to the temple (how can this not be number one on my list?!).
2. Earn a bachelors degree.
3. Be on the beach when it's snowing. I know that's not a huge thing, but what a cool feeling! The sound of the waves is cool enough in the first place but to have snow falling at the same time?! I can't imagine a more peaceful setting.
4. Make cookies with a grandchild.
5. Go to Carnival week in Italy.
6. Go to Disney World.
7. Learn another language.
8. Wear a bathing suit in public and feel completely comfortable! lol

I'm sure there are more goals that will come to me eventually but that's a good start, right? And by the way, thanks Lauryn for creating my new blog set up. Love it!!! You're so talented!

While the wife's away...

2008-07-04T11:15:00.000-07:00

Does anybody else feel like this is all their husband does?!

Our latest project

2008-07-01T19:40:00.000-07:00

So we hate our kitchen cabinets. I guess we only hate half of them now. We decided about a month ago that we were going to paint them an antique white color. Neither Lisa nor I are fans of the plain, light wood color. It has been quite the project and we even took the easy way out by not sanding them all first. We would probably be done by now had we not listened to the first "expert" in the Lowes paint department who recommended the grey primer. We're moving much faster now with the white primer and plan to toss on some crystal knobs when we're done painting.

We haven't done anything like this before, but my sister-in-law recommended that we put a sealant coat on it. Anyone vouch for her on the necessity of this step?

Brad's been tagged....

2008-07-01T19:12:00.001-07:00

Here's eight random facts about Braddrick-

1. Brad was supposed to go on a mission to Poland but when his lung collapsed he ended up going to Chicago speaking Spanish.

2. Brad loathes cotton balls and he wouldn't want that as a nickname. If you want to make Brad mad just ask his team at work about taping cotton to everything on his desk.

3. Brad has had four nicknames that have never stuck: Big Brad, Mean Brad, Cejitas & Braddrick.

4. Brad's hardest decision in life would be deciding which super hero he would want to be if given the oppurtunity. Too many good ones.... Wolverine, Deadpool, Silver Surfer...

5. Brad is obsessed with Gears of War and Call of Duty 4. If he could change anything in the world, he would eliminate sniper rifles in video games. I won't tell you what he just called people who use sniper rifles as my mother may be reading this.

6. Brad refuses to eat blue M & M's. He's too loyal to the tan ones.

7. Brad thinks that anyone out there that claims to have a favorite food is a liar because there are too many good foods out there to narrow it down. Also, you don't have a favorite song, you don't have a favorite movie and you don't have a favorite TV show. Nobody believes you.

8. Brad can't put even numbers into the microwave.

2. I secretly wish I could breakdance. It would be a dream come drizzle.

3. If I could turn back time, I would've ditched the whole aesthetician license thing and went to culinary school. I could watch the Food Network till the cows came home!

4. My Freshmen year at Poston I was a cheerleader and vice president of my class. Now I barely talk. How did that happen?!

About a month ago I was called to be the secretary in the Young Women's presidency. At first I was a little bummed because I really enjoyed my calling as the Relief Society chorister, but I couldn't be more grateful now for the oppurtunity. I didn't realize how fun the girls were and I especially didn't realize how much I'd enjoy mutual. This past week I had to teach the girls the Napoleon Dynamite dance so they can perform it up at girls camp. Unfortunately I can't perform it with them at gc, but we are going to do it for the ward talent show. It should be a blast!

How do you like us now bee-otch?!

2008-04-27T19:07:00.000-07:00

Yah, it's still a long shot but it still felt good! 105 to 86. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!

Disneyland again?!!

2008-04-23T16:46:00.001-07:00

That's right- oops, we did it again. We pulled off another trip to Disneyland last weekend. This time we actually managed to endure the Nemo line. We literally jogged to the ride as soon as the park opened. We would've ran but Brad and I are both pansies and didn't want to get in trouble. To be honest, I would've been totally t'd off if I had waited more than 30 minutes but luckily it was only a ten minute wait. I think I can speak for both Brad and I when I say we won't be riding that one again any time soon. Enjoy the pics! Oh yah, and for those of you who don't understand the picture, bottles and cans, just clap your hands, just clap your hands....

Surprise?

2008-02-24T16:18:00.001-08:00

Last week my husband surprised me with a trip to California. I was pleased as punch to go to my favorite place in the world, Disneyland! The first picture was taken at the petting zoo. I don't know how many times I've been to Disneyland but I had no idea there was a petting zoo! You'll notice in the second picture there is a group of people taking a picture. They took 33 pictures while standing in line. I hope they got a good one after all that! The last picture is the tiki juice that Brad goes nuts over. I think he would drink his weight in pineapple juice if it didn't cost $4.50 per cup.

Another fave at the moment

2008-01-27T13:26:00.000-08:00

Stop whatever it is you are doing and go see this movie. We've seen it three times now and it just gets funnier and funnier. I don't think I've ever laughed more in a movie!

Ode to Scrubs

2008-01-27T13:17:00.000-08:00

Every day we come home from work and it is at that time I enjoy my day the most. Not only are we eating some sort of gourmet meal like peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, but the show of all shows comes on. I give you, Scrubs. Sneak hug!

Our new couch

2008-01-27T13:04:00.000-08:00

Brad and I went window shopping yesterday and ended up coming home with a couch. It's basically our favorite thing right now. Brad just confessed to me that while I was upstairs working on our blog he told the couch that he loved it. My husband rocks! We look forward with eager hearts to the day when we come home and Jax has destroyed it.

Halloween Time

2008-01-13T18:21:00.000-08:00

This is from our monthly trip to the Happiest Place on Earth! We don't really go every month, but if we had the means to do so, Lisa would make it happen. I think the saddest thing in her life is just knowing that my grandpa had an opportunity to be a part of the creation of Disneyland and passed on it. Disneyland at Halloween Time is really cool though. I think next year we will wait another month and try Christmas.

Christmas

2008-01-13T18:01:00.000-08:00

So Lisa likes to spend money. Our tree blew up this year. It looks like Candyland threw -up on our tree, but in a good way. Lisa has found the love of her life though, in boutique shopping. In all fairness to her she did do some of the shopping at Michael's, but strangely enough we spent most of our Christmas money this year on Christmas decorations. I guess you gotta start somewhere. She did a great job on the tree though.

Did anyone notice that red is her favorite color....? And yes, we know Christmas is over, but we just started blogging, so cut us a break. We are excited about our tree.
