Stephanie's Birthday ...

Justin took me to California for my 25th Birthday. We headed to Huntington Beach for our first day, where we met up with Bianca and Brandon. We had a few drinks at freds and then headed to the beach. The boys rented boogy boards and did that most of the time while Bianca and me enjoyed the sun. The boys finally got us out deep in the water and we tried boarding. I actually caught and road a pretty good wave all the way to the shore, but then missed a lot too.

We then headed to Anaheim and check into the Candy Cane Inn. I love this hotel, everyone is so nice and its so quaint. There is ivy and flowers growing everywhere. After a quick shower we headed down to Downtown Disney and enjoyed the outdoors music and shops.

Then the next day we enjoyed the hotels complimentary breakfast, mmm oatmeal with sliced friut and a bagel. and headed to Disneyland. Since it was my birthday I got into the park for free and got my own happy birthday button with my name on it. 31 cast members wished me a happy birthday throughout the day. Since all the little tikes were in school and it was middle week, the park was deserted. I dont think we waited anymore than twenty minutes for a single ride. Of course we went on all the rides and we even found secrets a long the way. I never knew you could actually go up into Sleeping Beauty's Castle. If we ever have a girl I know exactly where im taking her. The Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, its a salon for little girls to be transfered into princesses. They do hair and makeup with glitter and little crowns. It was so adorable. We even found a surname shop. We ordered our family crest and family history that will be printed framed and then shipped to us.

Anyways it was a wonderful vacation and birthday, thank you to my handsome husband.

Suprise ...

I got off work yesterday headed to Marietta's house, where Justin was already. They said they had a suprise for me. It was an early birthday present. I opened both of my cards and then removed the pink tissue paper to find our itinerary to disneyland, One of my most favorite places! We are staying at the Candy Cane Inn (which i absolutly love) The whole place is decorated with ivy and roses, it just has the warmest homey feeling when you walk in. Plus we are making a detour at Huntington Beach to enjoy the sun, ocean, beach, and of course lunch at Ruby's. I cant wait to celebrate with my hubby and mickey mouse!

Little Ladybug ...

Nerissa and I threw Robyn and baby Isabella a baby shower. Little ladybug baby shower. She is the last of the five babies being born this summer. We had a great turnout and Nerissa and i did a pretty darn good job throwing this baby shower, if i do say so myself. We even made ladybug rice krispy treats. Here is a group shot of everyone that made it. (minus Justin, he is taking the picture) This is the second baby shower this summer that our gift was opened seventh. Tabitha's shower it was all by chance, but Robin made sure that our gift was seventh at her shower, thanks Robin for trying to make me a mommy. I only have two people on my "baby free" train. Everyone else is on the baby train.

1st Wedding Anniversary ...

Monday(24th)was our first wedding anniversary, so we wanted to get a little time to ourselves. We drove up to Mesquite for three days and two nights. We had a couples masaage booked for Tuesday and all we wanted to do was just relax and do nothing. and that is exactly what we did.





The last day we drove around the city and just did a little exploring and we came across the mesquite animal shelter. We decided to look at the kitties, and there she was 6 week old 1.6 pound molly. i fell in love with her. Justin didnt hesitate and got her for me. Their adoption fee is $15 dollars only. We just have to go back in January to get her fixed by their doctor so we dont have to pay for it ourselves.

Lee Canyon ...

We decided Wednsday that we were goin to take the dogs up to lee canyon and do a trail that we usualy do on our mountain bikes. its three miles up and then three miles down. We only did half and not the full six miles. The dogs loved it because no one else was up there so they could just roam free off their leashes.

Welcome To The Family ...

Congradulations to Sean and Marsha

Justin's Birthday ...

Justin turned 24 on Friday and so i took him to Battista's hole in the wall for dinner. Its such a cute restraunt on flamingo and audrie. call for reservations cause its always busy. Its family owned and operated for over 30 years. Service is always super and friendly. Its defently an old Las Vegas landmark.

This guy is the cutest. He has been working at battista's for 27 years. Im sitting down in this pictures and he is standing next to me. He was so excited that we were locals and sang us an elvis presley song.

The decore is really neat. very crowded and things are on top of one another. there is even a giant moose head in the lobby.

The menus is really simple. You have different prices for different groups, and then everything comes with soup or salad, garlic bread, pasta side, cappacino, and unlimited house wine.

Unforgettable ...

I made an awesome find the other day. When we got married our first song was unforgettable, and look what i found. picture perfect ! You may have to click on the picture to make it bigger, so you can see the bottom better.
