Vacation then Strep

I wanted to be blogging this week about our week and a half vacation in California but the kids and I came down with strep so I haven't quite felt up to it this week. Well, we had a great time on our vacation. Jared and Alisha got married, we got to hang out with my family, and we spent a day in Monterey and went to the aquarium. It was a really great vacation! Stay tuned for more detailed stories and PICTURES! Here's a teaser... ;) And believe me when I tell you there are some that are even more impressive than this.

iHeartFaces - Week 17

This weeks challenge is Hats! We're not a big hat wearing family so I don't have many photos of us in hats and don't really have any hats to take photos with. This photo is of my daughter who had a unit in preschool a couple months ago about Community Helpers. She came home one day with all this doctor gear (hopefully this counts as a hat). I think she looks darn cute!

Bokeh Giveaway

Hey, check out this Alien Skin giveaway at iHeartFaces!

Wicked!

So I didn't find out that Wicked was coming to town until the day it was here and by then, of course, tickets were sold out. I've been dying to see it for years (the first time I heard about it)! Needless to say I was very disappointed. BUT, before each performance they do a drawing to sell 20 tickets for $25 each. That's cheap! So, my hubby and I planned on trying the drawing just one night. With it being 45 minutes away and having to get a babysitter for several hours, we only had one try at it. So on Tuesday we arrived there 2 and a half hours before the show starts, entered our names a half hour later and waited another half hour to hear our fate. By then there were over 200 people there. To our amazement Jason's (my husband) name was the third name to be called and he was able to purchase 2 tickets for $25 each! I was soooo excited! So we went and got a meal at Carl's Jr and then headed back to the theater for the show and we were in the 6th row! Wonderful seats! The show was absolutely amazing!!! Katie Rose Clarke as Glinda and Donna Vivino as Elphaba were amazing! I've listened to the original broadway soundtrack and seen clips of the original actresses and these women, I think, were better! Katie was hilarious! And Donna was wickedly stunning. It was wonderful! I hope to be able to see it again someday.

iHeartFaces - Week 16

So a friend suggested I check out this blog http://www.iheartfaces.blogspot.com/. They have a weekly photo contest so I thought I'd give it a try. This weeks theme is Reflections.

Here's my entry for the Kids Category


This is my daughter when she was 2 years old. She is now 5. I was drying this bowl and she caught her reflection in it and couldn't stop looking at herself in it. LOL!

Coldplay

That's right, I said Coldplay! Tonight I got a call from a local radio station telling me that I won the "best seats in the house" to the Colplay concert tomorrow night! I am totally shocked! I entered the contest online not thinking much of it, I never win stuff like this. But I WON!!! Thanks to my wonderful neighbor and friend who is willing to watch my kids for so long on such short notice. Thanks Jan! Hubby and I have a HOT date tomorrow night!
