A Chorus Line

Christmas in February?? Well yes in fact it was! I've always wanted to see "A Chorus Line" when Rob found out it was playing in Modesto he planned a date night. We had so much fun, it almost felt like we went out for the Winter Formal!!







I was so thrilled we were going out for a night of good food and a Broadway show only 15 minutes from our house!!







Mo did my hair for the big night! I was very impressed with her up do!







We ate at Gallettos Ristorante where we ate and drank very well from the Northern Italian style cooking they had to offer.




Dessert to top off the night, too pretty not to take a picture!

Just a quick shot taken at the mall this weekend that really makes me think a bit! The boys await while the girls run around and shop!!!! Dad we love you very much and enjoy that you choose to spend your free time with us while watching our kids grow into little adults. Rob you are the best husband and father anyone could ask for, and you will get through another tax season.....I promise! Dylan you have turned out to be such a fun person to be around. You constantly make me laugh (even at times that may not be the best time to crack a joke, but you do), you surprise me everyday with your ability to play sports to the level you do and last but not least your sensitive side that captures my heart!

I love these 3 men more than anyone can ever know!

Rangers end of the season party

The end of a great season of soccer. This was Mo's first year of high comp soccer and she couldn't have ended up on a better team! We learned alot, traveled a bit, and made alot of new friends! Mo continues to strive to be better in the sport she loves. She has passion and drive that continue to be her strength and we love to watch her play and grow from that. We look forward to the next season and watch the team continue to grow together!
GO RANGERS!

State Cup Redding/ Chico Trip

Redding, CA
January 8 th and 9 th
District 8 Association Cup








Couldn't help but think that our side line referee looked like Captain Kangaroo!










CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY CHICO !!!!!!!!










A Stop at the Madison Bear Garden was a must! I told Mo she would enjoy the burgers here even though she only likes the burgers at In and Out. Not only did she really enjoy the food, she took in all the experience that went with it too!. "Mom, can we take 3 or 4 of these burgers home with us for later"? The place hadn't changed, just everyone there looked a lot younger than myself!






After Mo and I shopped and ate we drove down the Esplanade to check out my old apartment! There it stood #33, the paint a little worn and the trees over grown from what I remember but that was our apartment. I sent a text to Brooke and she new instantly where we were!

Serv Safe Certified

One of my 2010 New Year's resolutions was to become Serv Safe Certified. I met my goal and received verification I passed in December. My certificate I got in January and is good for the next 5 years! It proudly stays on the wall at Doctor's Hospital!! Woo Hoo!!!!

New Year's Eve 2011

New Year's 2011 we spent a fun filled night with good friends. We played games, sang on the karaoke machine and danced! Kids had a great time too, there was something for everyone!!! Thank you Crippens for having us over to ring in the New Year!!!

Disneyland / LA trip

"Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy".






Our first meal absolutely had to be somewhere famous, so we headed to Momma Cozza's featured on Diners, Drive ins and Dives. It was definitely worth the wait for the home cookin' Italian we all LOVE so much!




This Gingerbread house was in the center of the Embassy Suites Lobby. It took 2 weeks to make and was completely edible.




Every trip to Disneyland needs to include pictures of the family in the CALIFORNIA somewhere. I'm sad to say that I think this will be our last time doing it, I heard they are taking it out :(














Kids playing around in Toontown!























Dylan willingly????? sharing his Churro!








We ran into Jenny, Brady and Brinkley at Disneyland. Dylan and Brady were so excited to see each other. His friend moved away this summer so it had been a long time since they had their "Manly Hug"! Dylan even surprised us all with a little "magic trick" while Brady was there. He magically pulled an article of clothing out of no where!!! Watch out Chris Angel!



Random family shots taken around the park. Disney is magical anytime you go, but especially around the holidays!















Awaiting for the Aladdin show. We had front row seats in the orchestra section. I LOVE THIS SHOW!!










The newest and greatest Toy Story Action figures around! (Other family members sold separately)!





















You know it's busy when the Fast Pass line is longer than the regular line or all passes are given out by mid day. 100 minute wait by noon everyday! Probably the busiest I've ever seen Disneyland in my life! If you weren't in the park by noon you were turned away. On this trip we made the most of every ride and lived off of FAST PASSES! We were fortunate enough to hit the park early on most days, leave around lunch time and then come back in the evening for the light shows and less crowded lines. Here are some of my favorite rides and pictures!!



























On our early entry in we hit Peter Pan first before the lines got too long. This is still one of my all time favorite story tale rides!



HOLLYWOOD HERE WE COME!
