One of These Days

On Easter Sunday Brad had an opportunity to ride Jason's bike. Brad was the first one to ever ride his bike. I think Jason has had his bike for at least 6 years. I call that trust.

Getting a few pointers from Jason

Brad was told by his mother that he will not be included in her will if he gets a bike :)

Birthday Celebrations @ Stampede, 3/15/08

Brad & I decided we would celebrate our birthdays at Stampede on Saturday, March 15, 2008. Brad's "little" counsin Carina came from Torrance with 3 of her friends, Jessica, Geo, and Chris. We BBQed with them in the early evening then headed over to Stampede to meet up with the rest of our friends, Katie (who was visiting from Texas), Desiree, Ruben (Desiree's friend), Kathy, Janelle, and Jason. I'm pretty sure we all enjoyed ourselves that evening :) Me & My Sister

A Fun Filled Day With My Sugar Plum Princess

Kristian and I had a blast this past Friday, March 14th. I decided to take the day off from work and go hang out with my Sugar Plum Princess at Disneyland since our annual passes were going to expire on Sunday. My wonderful in-laws were so generous for my birthday that they gave me money to renew mine and Kristian's passes :)

THANK YOU PAM & LANNIE for the awesome birthday present!!!!

I started out the day by taking Kristian to Libby Lu's to get her nails, make-up, and hair done.......

Getting her nails painted
Make-up time

There were three choices of hairstyles to choose from...........


the last touch.......glitter
she couldn't stop looking in the mirror
isn't she just adorable?!?!?!
Kristian chose the Rockstar hairstyle :)

Posing for mommy
Then we were off to California Adventure
Getting an autograph and taking a picture with Goofy & Max
My Little Ant.........if you know me, you know I hate bugs with a passion but I had to act brave when Kristian & I went to the "It's Tough to be a Bug" show
Bug's Life Bumper Cars

Kristian enjoying herself on Filk's Flyers

My Little Aviator......getting ready to board Soaring Over California

3pm came before we knew it......I made reservations for Kristian & I to eat at Ariel's Grotto.
Kristian ate an Octo-dog and mac and cheese for lunch.

Then, it was time for the princess to come out and greet their guests.

I really think Kristian enjoyed herself @ Ariel's Grotto Nap Time
Enjoying her sucker that Mr. & Mrs. Calvert gave me Disney dollars for (the dollars were actually for balloon but Kristian requested a sucker instead). Thanks Tom & Debbie!!

One of Kristian's "new" favorite Princesses, Giselle, from Enchanted

Waiting for Fantasmic to start.

We parked Kristian's stroller to save our seats and went on Big Thunder Mountain. I'm not really sure how much Kristian liked the ride. She did say she would go on it ago though :)We finally stayed late enough to watch Fantasmic. It was an excellent show.
