Catalina Diving!!

We took a day to go over to Catalina Island, which is about an hour east of shore by boat. It's a pretty big tourist destination, especially for SCUBA divers. The giant kelp grows there, so it's teeming with life. We got to see lots of fish on our dive, including a few Bat Rays. The giant sea bass were in town, but we didn't' get to see any, which I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad about. The bass are 2 or 3 times the size of a person! Crazy. I'm not big on fish, so that's why I'm not too upset about it. BUt we had a good time and ended up getting a little sunburn unawares because it was such a cool day. Oops!

Sparks, Friends, and Screaming

It was fun to be able to take Kristi, Jon and my parents to a Sparks game down at the Staples Center. We were lucky enough to get seats in front of 2 or 3 screaming little girls, who I'm sure were just there to cheer and don't really care about basketball. Although I commend them for their diligence and team spirit, they really need to practice cheering with everyone else. So every time it gets really noisy or the yells of "defense!" are off, please know that it is them, and not us. The Sparks won this game 88-72 edit by David: final score was 82-77, although it was a close back and forth game the whole time. We took a little walk through LA Live afterward. We hung out over at the Toyota thing you see at the end. They had a decked out Sienna van in there with reclining middle seats, complete with footrests. It had video screens in front and back where they were playing the "Swagger Wagon" video (youtube it if you haven't seen it). The seats in back fold down into the ground with the touch of a button. It was a pretty sweet van, I have to admit. All in all, it was a great night!

Family Game Night

My family loves skip-bo, so we pulled it out while they were here. What better way to spend a Sunday? We played 4 games and we each won one, so it was great. I'm wearing my new dress that I bought with my birthday money. I got another dress too, that I'll probably wear next week for you all to see. It was a fun night.

Flipped Movie Premiere

One of the joys of living in LA are that you get to go to movie premieres. Today we got to go see Flipped, a film by Rob Reiner, who directed such classics as The Princess Bride, This is Spinal Tap, A Few Good Men, The Bucket List, and When Harry Met Sally. This one was more in the vein of Princess Bride than the others, as it was a family friendly film set in the late 50's and early 60's about a pair of adolescents trying to deal with the realities of young love. I definitely recommend that you go see this film (take your significant other.)

Yum-Yums

Kris made us a special birthday treat tonight: Bruschetta (and I really hope I spelled that right).

At the Movies

We went and saw Inception with our brother-in-law Kris, who is visiting for a few days. The movie was crazy, to say the least, but I loved every little bit of it. My personal favorite part was the sweet fight in the rotating hallway in the middle. How did they do that? Anyway, it was a really cool movie and you should all go see it!

Happy Birthday to Me!

So we were able to go to Knotts Berry Farm for dinner for my birthday. It was yummy fried goodness encircled in delicious berry sweetness; all for $15.99 (Limited time offer, may not be available in all locations). We finished dinner around 7 and decided to go and enjoy the theme park for a few hours before it closed at 10. It was nice and uncrowded, so we got to do pretty much all the big rides in the little time we had, although we didn't get to watch any of the shows or other entertainment, sadly.

Present

So Dave and I are pretty bad about giving gifts. Either we skip gifts all together or we give them to eachother really late. Just within this last month Dave and I both finally got our Christmas presents (although mine has to be sent back and exchanged because it died on us). So for our anniversary, my present for Dave just got in; much better than our Christmas gifts, but still a tad late. That's ok tho, I still beat him to it.

Happy Independence Day!

Here is a crappy video of the fireworks we went to celebrate Independence Day! All the kids and a lot of the adults seemed to love it though. I think next year we'll go somewhere better. But a big thanks to our servicemen and women who help keep our country free.

Toy Story 3/Anniversary!

Today was our 1 year anniversary!! What a wonderful year it has been. To celebrate, we kind of had a relaxing day. We went and saw Toy Story 3 in the morning, then we spent the afternoon at the beach, and for dinner we went to The Cheesecake Factory. Yum! It was a great day, in commemoration of a great year!

Beginning of the weekend!

Sparks!

We got free tickets (which turned out to be pretty awesome seats) to the Sparks game. It was really really fun. Outside the Staples Center Tokyo Pop was having a convention in the LA Expo center, so we people watched before the game started. That was pretty fun too.

Sorry the sound is so off in the video, we're not sure why it's doing that.

So tonight we went to a Sparks game. We have some video, but the audio is so far off that I am going to try to fix it before I upload it. Be patient....its coming.

Quiche and Airbending

Um...sorry about the bad stills from Avatar, we were watching it and we paused it to go get more dinner then we decided to make a vlog. Quite the random still frame to pause on (bonus points if you can figure out what episode this is)...but the quiche was good, as Kelly so aptly demonstrates. Stupid, stupid rat creatures.

My garden is like a stoplight. The colors are changing! First it was green for a while, then yellow for a short short time, and now red! Hooray, my tomatoes are ripening!! I just had to share this with everyone.

And of course I have to update you on the rest of the garden. MY wildflowers did not fare too well on my vacation, but they are making a comeback, you can see the little bit of green in there.
My begonia is doing well; no flowers yet tho.
My plastic pot did very well while I was gone. I still am not sure what's growing in there.
There are these little flowers...
And these bigger plants.
Anyone know what either one is?

Kelly's leaving me!

Well Kelly decided to leave me. Luckily she gave me fair warning and won't leave for another 2 months.

The things we carried

These are some of the things we brought back from Japan on our recent trip. I'm still feeling jet-lag, but its getting better.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wQOX7xUWJc

Sleep, as usual

So Dave took the sleeping pills last night and was able to fall asleep. However, he didn't sleep very well. He tossed and turned all night, and woke up in the middle to take another pill. But at least he was able to sleep some. So today he was pretty tired (as far as I could tell), so its not surprising that he's conking out this early. Now we'll just have to see if I can do the same. I've been falling asleep around 1, but I woke up at 8 this morning. We'll see how it goes.

We left Narita around 6 or 630 PM, and got into LAX around 1 PM I believe. Time travel! After at least 12 hours of traveling, we made it safely home and are attempting to recover from jet lag.

Two worlds, One family

Dave:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OO1RXbzHGo

Kelly:

Well, Kelly made a video on her much crappier camera phone, but the sound doesn't want to upload along with the video, so we have a blogger video. Hope it works for you all. All in all, her world of school at Cal State LA is coming to an end. Today was her last day of finals, yay! She accidentally forgot her drawing tools for her soils class, but the boy next to her was kind enough to share when he saw her lack. She finished the test really fast though. It was only 2 questions, and took her about half an hour, but it seemed that the rest of the students were going to be there much longer. We'll see how it turns out. Her other test, Math 209, went fairly well too. No more school for her for a little while. And speaking of school later on, she finally got a letter of recommendation of sorts from the Civil Engineering department and sent it into admissions appeals. Hopefully admissions will grant her access (and soon!) back to the school in Fall and then she can be done with school once and for all!

EDIT: Got Kelly's video to upload properly. Enjoy!

Lost! (Season Finale)

Thanks to our friends Matt and Carrie for letting us come watch the season finale of Lost live at heir house, since we don't have a tv. It was a very exciting episode, and I think we all really enjoyed. Don't worry, there aren't any spoilers, this is during one of the commercial breaks partway through. I'm so sad Lost is over now, it was so crazy and wonderful. What will I do with my life now?

Super Costume Sale wonderfulness

Dave and I hit up a costume company's sale today and found lots of treasures (although most of them we didn't buy). I love looking through clothes at DI or goodwill and pulling out all the ridiculous stuff, and this sale served the same purpose. It was fun to go and nice to be able to buy some "new" clothes, even if we did go at 830 in the morning.
