Music Fests...

2013 was definitely our go "somewhere" year.  In April we went to Coachella for the first time because Graham was so nice to give a ticket to Dan that he had won from the radio.  Then later in October we went to the Life is Beautiful music festival in Vegas.  I just love being with my family,  we seem to always have a great time with each other and it didn't hurt that we got to listen and see a lot of great bands.  Top on the list would be seeing The XX,  Zedd, Lumineers, Imagine Dragons (with their crazy drum and acorbat finale), Passion Pit, Of Monsters and Men and so many more.  I know its time to slow down this year but I hate missing out so it looks like we might be going to Coachella again!

Randomness...

I love how my boys can fall asleep anywhere and anytime.  One day when getting out of the shower I was calling for Noah and he was no where to be found.  I then remembered I thought I had seen him go under my bed while I was in the shower and sure enough there is was! 

I am so thankful my boys look forward to going to the dentist.  

Love our friends, so fun going trick or treating at Seaworld.

Wacky week at school- inside out day and crazy hair day!

I love that I can go shopping with these boys.  They never run in and out of the clothes racks and USUALLY stay with me.

Dad and Noah were away so Grant and I had a date at Souplantation!

Always a good time with the Russell's!

New Year's Eve was spent with my family again, nothing better.  We had delicious Panda Country followed with yummy treats and fun games.

Visting "THE CAMP" in Mission Viejo when dad was out there for a week preparing for the Series 7 test.  Such a cute place, the boys enjoyed it.

This is the first time I had to leave everything in the cart at Target and leave because Grant would not calm down.  I can't recall what made him so mad but it was rather embarrassing.  He cried or rather screamed the whole way home, is wan't 3 yet- does that make it ok?!

Handsome boys on the dirty steps of the 2nd street building!

Though I am not a big listener of Tim McGraw he sure is nice to look at.  Dan was sweet to surprise me but lets just say the crowd on the GA grass seating are not the most classy people in the world!

Since we got away for our Anniversary we got to spend the day of our actual anniversary with these cute boys at Olive Garden.

Always a fun day at the zoo with Grandpa and Grandma.

Don't know how I didn't get a picture of myself all dressed up in pioneer gear, good thing though- I don't need any proof that I actually dressed up!

Sexy date at Flemings for Valentines followed with delicious Ghiradellis!

We sure love souplantation, especially when we get to make silly faces.

Before Mrs. Patty retired Grant was able to attend a session of Preschool with her.  He always seemed to love going but never really wanted to get involved with singing and story time; He just liked playing solo.

Oma's

2013 just flew by, I have no idea how we didn't carry out our yearly tradition going to Oma's as a family.  This time I just took Grant with his preschool class.  We always love Oma's and I was so happy to get a picture with Mrs. Patty just like Noah had when he was in her class!

Happy Birthday Gwuunts!

Grants 3rd Birthday was low key with just the family since we had taken the boys to yet another Disneyland trip! I love this sweet, energetic, STRONG willed boy of mine.  I love his cute little dimples and his silly grin.  Though he can be very stubborn at times he is such a good kid.  He still loves smelling and sucking on his blanket to fall asleep or any time he's in the car or just sitting around.  Noah is so sweet and loving to him and when Noah tries to give him hugs and kisses he just pushes him away (I guess Grant takes after me in that department!).  So happy to have GWUUNTS in my life!

10 years...Happy Anniversary

Wow, 10 years with my Daniel- so much fun.  We got a hotel in Venice Beach which we loved.  Me being the indecisive person that I am after I booked it I called back again to re-check the pricing and the lady noticed we were celebrating our 10 year anniversary at which time she upgraded us to an ocean-view room!  They of course brought us complimentary wine,  I kept trying to find a neighbor that would like it!  We loved our hotel, so modern and right on the boardwalk.  We brought our bikes and rode all the way down to the Santa Monica pier.  Luckily I had talked to one of my co-workers and she suggested going to the Paradise Cove.  It was this tucked away cove and was so nice.  We got to eat right on the beach, Dan was heaven with all the calamari.  We had fun shopping at the Promenade in Santa Monica, Dan got me some awesome black boots from Steve Madden which I love.  The hotel had a roof top deck to watch the sunset which was beautiful, the picture didn't do it justice.  We always have so much fun together, he is truly my best friend.  The morning we left we had breakfast at Omelette Parlor which was so delicious.  They had these huge pancakes with little white chocolate chips and strawberries in them, so yummy!  We were away for 3 days which of course wasn't long enough!
