A special trip to Disneyland!

We had a wonderful trip to Disneyland this Monday!  My long time friend, DeAnna brought her daughter down to celebrate her birthday. She came down and stayed the night before and we were able to get there early and put in a full day.  It was great for Lily because she doesn't usually get to have a friend her age at Disneyland.  They play like best old buddies, I love it.  Dee and I hope they will grow up to have the same special friendship we have.  They met princesses, danced in the parade, rode rides, ate special treats, and overall had an amazing day!! We were so glad to be able to share in Isabelle's special birthday :)

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks for a great day!

Cool enough for you?

Apparently, Emma needed a little extra cooling off from our air conditioner...

Happy 4th of July!

Fourth of July is so much fun.  I love how kick back of a holiday it is! We had a fun day with Brian and JC, swimming, barbequing and watching the fireworks (with an amazing view) at their house.  Both girls loved the fireworks, I enjoy watching their faces as much as I do watching the fireworks.  Hope you had a good one!

Our Home's Makeover

I came home to quite a surprise when we got back from Fremont- Ron had gotten our house painted!  It looks amazing, we are so excited.  He changed the plants and brightened it up a lot with a new color.  He took before pictures on JC's camera, I just have to get them from her, so when I get them I will post a comparison for people who have never been!  Here is the new look:

How I know he loves me...

My Ronnie loves me and it is in the simple things like the post I am about to blog that continue to remind me of that.

Tonight we went to the Angels game and wanted to get into the park early.  We never buy food there, but decided to get Carl's Jr. in the park instead of at the one outside the park.  When Ronnie went to get food, he discovered that the one in the park only has burgers with cheese, they are all premade.  I HATE cheese.  So he left the stadium, walked across the street about a quarter mile to Carl's Jr. and got me my western burger WITHOUT cheese.  He could have just as easily had me get something else in the park, but he knew I wanted a burger.

What a guy... I love my Ronnie.

My lame thoughts on The Bachelorette

Is anyone watching The Bachelorette? I get sucked into these shows way too easily.  On the first episode, I picked Kiptyn and Jake.  I now am starting to really like Reid... I wish Jake could have worked out because I think he is the sweetest thing ever... oh well... maybe he can be next season's bachelor.  I was shocked that she let Jesse go!  She is obviously clueless to keep Wes and dump Jesse. I didn't like Kiptyn's family at all, although the hot tub thing was funny.  I think I am going to pull for Ed or Reid.  

What do you think?

Toastmasters 50th Anniversary

About four years ago, Ron joined a public speaking club called Toastmasters.  He has gotten up at 6:30am on Thursday mornings and met with an amazing group of professionals that have helped him grow in his public speaking abilities and communication skills.  It has been wonderful for him!  His Toastmasters club is one of the longest running clubs in Toastmaster history and last night they celebrated their 50th anniversary with a dinner party that we attended.  It was great!  I enjoyed meeting a really nice group of people that all had nice things to say about my husband :)
