Happy Earth Day

As I hope everyone knows, today is Earth Day and in honor of Mother Earth I planted some flowers in our yard.  It was so nice of her to give us good whether on her big day!! WE are planting more and more in our big garden every weekend.  Last weekend we did almost everything... we planted tomatoes, onions, bell peppers, banana peppers, hot peppers, herbs, carrots, radishes, peas, beansl, watermelon, cucumber, and zuchinni!! WE may plant some pumpkins and maybe rip out the tree thats there and plant an avacado tree!! But that will probably be a little bit down the road... can't wait to eat it all!!! We finally got to try some of our strawberries (squirrel issue long gone) and it was super good...I even liked them!!

Poly-pharmacy

So as some of you may know I have been sick for about a month now... I was taking my medicine this morning and realized that I have aged about 60 years in the last month.  I have never taken so many meds in my life!!! Although I am feeling a little better... and no pneumonia, it is a little disconcerning having to take so many meds and not magically feel better.  Every night I go to sleep and tell Mike to be Harry Potter and make me feel better...yet it hasn't happened :0( But the update is that I am finally out of bed and feeling about 70 percent...so YAY, I guess...

The Academy of Arts and Sciences

We finally went to the new Academy of Arts and Sciences three weeks ago.  One word....AMAZING!!! We went to it on a Thursday night where it is only open for people over 21 because they serve alcohol. Everything was open, but we got there a little late sp we couldn't see the rain forest.... they close it a little early so the animals can sleep.  But everything there was really neat!!! They had an amazing aquarium and swamp section!! They also had penguins, which Mike loved of course. The living roof was really neat too... since it was night time they set up telesccopes and had them aimed at Venus and Mars!! But by far the best part of the museum is the albino section... they had albino catfish, turtles, and an aligator!! IT was crazy to see these animals because they weren't just a little white they were as white as a white-t.  Anyways I highly reccomend it to everyone... and its pretty cheap!!!

Here is a picture of the albino alligator... it was sooo cool!!!

Disneyland and Price is Right

The week before last Mike and I drove down to L.A. for Mike's spring break.  Although I was still feeling a little sick I couldn't back out cause Mike was way excited to get out of town.  The first day we were down there we went to the Price is Right and met Drew Carey!!! ALthough we didn't get called up, cause half our group bailed!!! It was still fun.  Side note: if you ever get group tickets to that show make sure you ask like 30 people cause they all won't show up, so you will end up with 15 which is the minimum.  Just a little hint that everyone should know.  But it was a lot of fun.   The second day was the day I was looking forward to the most cause it was DISNEYLAND DAY!! We went with the Hahn family, for those of you who don't know them they are one of mike's coworker's family.  It was the first time we went to Disneyland with young kids... a three year old and a one year old.  It was a lot of fun to see them get so excited about the little rides...who knew the carosel was so fun?!?! Anyways we stayed for the whole day, which I think was the hottest day of the year (90 degrees!!).  The next day we went home cause I wasn't feeling good...of course.  Then what do you know a week and a half later I am finally able to get out of bed and write this blogs...GOOD TIMES!!

Brittany and Trisha on Buzz Lightyear!!! And for the first time in history Mike beat me in that ride...DAMN!!

 

Brittany and Bryan standing in line for the cars.  Literally 20 people from the front of the line (after waiting for 45 minutes) Brittany says "Daddy I have to go pee." Bryan says "Can you hold it?" And before he could even finish she says noa dn starts dancing around... so of course we had to get out of line, but the nice Disney people let us in to our exact spot!! It truely is the most magical place in the owrld...where else is that allowed? ;0)
