New things... an update.. and a disaster

It was Emily's birthday on Mother's day. The family all got together to celebrate and have dinner. It was a lot of fun.

I will post more about Mother's day Weekend. I had the kids for the night so we had some good adventures.

Jen and I went to St. George to do the St. George Tri. I will post about that later as well... upon arriving home I left my bags in the front room for a bit. (I have a hard time unpacking after trips.) When I returned home from work on Monday this is what I walked into.

my oh so special Millie had found a few items she wanted to get into. One of which was my antibotic. Little pink and blue pills were everywhere. I was a little freaked out that maybe she ate them, but as I put them all in the container it appeared that not one single more pill would fit (it was a brand new perscription). So I assumed she was ok!

On that flip side of my crazy dog, she is the best dog at night and loves to cuddle up and watch tv. This was her doing just that!

Spring/Summer has approached us and that means it is always the best time to own a shedding dog.... Wait I am kidding. Millie is shedding like crazy. She rubs up against my green chair and it is so funny to watch. So after watching her do this for days I decided to give her a nice brush. This was after two times.... Can we say GROSS!

Oh the joys of being a single GIRL and owning a house... I decided to get the sprinklers going for the spring.. Turned them on and was soaked from the backflow having a crack from the winter. I hate sprinkling systems.

On a much lighter note, I got some new kicks.. I sure like them (Thank you Jen and Kim for inspiring me)

so that is just a brief little bit for the blogging world!

2010 Twilight Concert Series

The 2010 Twilight Concert Series is starting in July. They announced that they will be held at Pioneer Park instead of the Gallivan Center like last year.

Very excited for Modest Mouse and the The New Pornographers.

Today at work after lunch I said something that must have sounded like Afternoon Delight... So Ashlee got the song in my head. After singing the tune in my head, the song is stuck in everyone's head. So here is a little video for kicks.

California Yankees vs Angels

The Yankees played the Angels in Anaheim so Gary Andersen from work and I went out there to see the games. Our seats were 7th row behind the Yankees dugout. They were awesome. The game on Friday was chilly.. ok by the end I was freezing cold! The Yankees sadly did not win Friday night, but they had an awesome firework show after the game.

Saturday we got up and went to Disneyland for a few hours. We rode my favorite roller coaster. Gary convinced me to ride the blast off ride where it launches you up really fast. I always say yes to those rides, but then hate them when I am on them. Right before we took off, Gary looked over and asked if I was going to throw up. Apparently I didn't look to good!

The Yankees game was at 1:00 so we headed to the game in the afternoon.

Saturday was really hot and it was nice to be out in the sun.

At the game we had these Awesome foot long HOT DOGS with onions and peppers. This is Gary going to town on his.

Yankees after they WON on Saturday!

After the game we took a small rest at the hotel, and then headed back to Disneyland. We hit all the major rides (and even Mr Toad's Wild ride- Thanks Blake)

We saw Kenai and Koda

And at to end the night we rode Splash Mountain several times in a row!

Family hits Disneyland...

The girls and the kids of the JENKINS clan headed to california in February for some sun, and fun at disneyland. We flew out early Tuesday morning and it was Baby Owen's first flight.

I had a cold, so flying and the pressure was not fun on my ears. I cried on the landing from the pain and then spent the next day and a half with my ears completely plugged. I couldn't hear, and hearing myself talk was making me crazy. Needless to say I was miserable. After some serious tears, instacare calls, and a stop off at the pharamacy I was still sick.

The first day we landed we went to Long Beach Aquarium. It ws so much fun. We pet sting rays and sharks, saw jelly fish, and had a blast with the kids.

Emily and I petting the sting rays.

I am so intriqued with Jelly Fish. They way they move, and everything about them make me want to touch them and learn about them. These pictures I thought were cool.

These three were just soaking up the sun!

Kennedy and I enjoying a little shade and relaxing.

The following day we went to DISNEYLAND

I think Tiger is my favorite character!

Mickey ears

The kids and I

We rode the Tea Cups.. they were fun and even Baby Owen got to go.

In california adventure we saw the parade.. It was fun to see Bugs Life, Toy Story, and Cars.

The last day we just hung out. We took pictures in the photo booth, rode this car, and they begged Emily to buy this snow globe. It was pretty funny.

Kennedy fell asleep on the way to the airport so I carried her all the way through security (that was a chore to get my boots off while still holding her), on the plane, and she didn't wake up until we arrived in SLC. She was one tired girl from all the California fun!
