It's all about Pokemon

Seth's new obsession is Pokemon cards. I don't think he really knows how it all works, but he and his friends trade them and think they know the logistics. Do you know how they work? I tried to look up the trading card game. What a joke, you have to keep track of the points you lose and much more. I just like the colorful pictures on them. I would trade for a cuter animal/plant/alien. Thanks Taylor for getting him the pack, did you even know, he was so excited when he opened it!

There's only 1 me

A girl in my ward had this on her blog, I thought the idea was cool!

Okay I looked up Gwen Hardy first and came up with 16!

So I threw them a harder one, Gwen Brodine, look what I came up with. I was unique, still am of course!!! And who would have guessed there are 47, 081 Gwen's in the U.S. Not as weird as I thought! Thanks mom and dad for not naming me Wendy! (280,964)

Happy 6th Birthday

Our little boy turned six. Wow time flies. He got a cool cars digital camera, a spiderman bounce along, puzzle, baseball mit, and pop up basketball hoop. For dinner we went to BJ's again. Who wouldn't want a pizookie for their birthday. The annual Chuck E. Cheese birthday party will be next weekend. Happy Birthday Seth!

Paige made the sign for him.

We tried to get him to put on a shirt, but he had his pj bottoms on. He's always "Too hot".

Back to Christmas morning

I am back tracking since we took off for Utah the day after Christmas. Here goes. We had a nice Christmas in California this year. Christmas morning we had fun unwrapping presents as fast as we would let them. Paige got the eyeclops, just what she wanted, along with a lot of other stuff! Seth got the geotrack set he wanted and Paige gave him a soccer table that was his favorite! Matt got a Redskins blanket and key caddy to keep all his stuff together every night. As you can see I got a pedicure set that we put to use that day giving each other pedicures. Nice! We had a Merry Christmas!

Rose Parade Floats

We drove out to Pasadena on January 2nd to see the Tournament of Roses floats. They line them up along 2 miles of streets and you can meander through and look at the floats up close. It was a beautiful day and the kids even got hot. We parked at the Rose Bowl and then took the shuttle (school bus) to the venue. The floats are amazing and you just can't believe that everything is made from flowers, trees, etc. The detail and textures were amazing! We saw the circus train, sesame street, Long Beach Aquarium, and the woman who lived in a shoe to name just a few. A few years ago we went a day before the parade and watched them putting the floats together. That was very cool too. The pictures don't do them justice, but take a look.

Happy New Year!!

We will see how we change in the year to come.
Confetti Fireworks

Our garage floor during the festivities

We got home from Utah on the 31st and couldn't wait to play games and do our popper firecrackers. It was a fun family night. Seth made it to 11pm WOW! and Paige made it past midnight again this year!! Happy New Year!
