California Day 1

We decided to take a week trip down to California to visit Mike's uncle and aunt. Mike's sister and her husband were also going to be in California that week so it worked out perfect!

We flew in on Tuesday and had a full day of fun.

Started with

driving down town and doing a little exploring.

Mike wanted to see the Staples center (big arena where two basketball teams, and hockey team plays)

The Great Wayne Gretzky

We then walked over to the Grammy Museum (which if you are ever in the LA area I highly recommend this museum, we could have spent all day there)

You are not allowed to take pictures in this museum but Mike being Mike of course tried to sneak some...

Bob Marley legacy was the visiting exhibit.

This museum had hand written original lyrics from Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, James Brown and many more, the interesting thing about these lyrics were most of them were written on napkins or hotel stationary. They also had a big display of Michael Jackson's jackets and gloves.

After the Grammy Museum we made our way down to

Dodger Stadium. We went with Mike's uncle Eric and his brother Chris. The game started at 7 and we finally left at 10 (three hours in and it was only in the 7th inning... looong game). There were tons of foul balls and we had excellent seats right behind the pitchers mount, so lots of foul balls came our way and I freaked every time.

(More to come)

College Football

Last weekend Mike and I decided to take a trip down to Pullman and watch a Cougs game.

Mike did what he always does and waits until we get to the game to get tickets aka getting them from scalpers. I hate when he does that!! But we ended up with pretty good seats and they were cheap, so I couldnt complain too much.

The Cougs played UNLV and smoked them (59-7)!

Here we are at the stadium, it was 94 degrees and we were sitting on metal seats so we were just about as hot as you can get, but it was still lots fun!

Crayon Art

I have become addicted to Pinterest! I love all the crafty pins, so I decided to actually do one.

I thought this was cute and I have been looking for something to hang in my kitchen, so I decided to re-create it and this is what I got

I think it turned out pretty good. It was really easy and lots of fun! All you do is glue crayons to a canvas and the turn it upside down, and take a hairdryer to it and let it drip. After I was happy with the drippage I made some flowers (like you would put in your hair) and glued them to the "stems".

Home-Made Hostees Cupcakes

My husbands cousin came into town a few weeks ago, so I decided I need to make some "Welcome to Washington" cupcakes.
I made chocolate cupcakes, filled with marshmallow fluff frosting and topped with chocolate frosting with the famous curly-cue.

Michael Buble

Mike got me Michael Buble tickets for my birthday! We had such a great time, we couldn't stop talking about how great the concert was for days.

I cant wait to see him again!

Birthday Flowers

My birthday was a couple months ago but I just had to blog about the flowers my parents got me for my birthday.

My parents surprised me at work with these flowers! Isnt that the cutest flower bouquet ever?
