Baby Rock Band

I was looking through some old photography folders and found these pictures. Part of it was because Kiera tagged me to share the 5th picture in your 5th folder, or something. But it was a picture of a rug or couch or some other non-descript item from a shopping trip. . . too boring to post. These pictures were taken months ago. Staci came over and then she and I left to take Jack to Karate and left Abe with Heath. This is significant because it is literally the VERY FIRST time Heath has been left alone with a baby. Weird, I know, but he was an only child and didn't really have any cousins that he was close with. So, of course Heath went to the thing he knows best, Rock Band. He entertained Abe by playing drums with him. This is what they were doing when we came home. Too cute, and Abe looks like he is having a great time. Also, we learned that Abe loves to get his groove on to Nine Inch Nails. Haha!

Last year, Heath subscribed me to a magazine called Digital Scrapbooking. Every issue they have a sweepstakes where you enter to win a bunch of scrapbooking stuff. I enter every time. Yesterday I got an email saying I am the grand prize winner!! $1700 worth of prizes. YAY!

Here is a preview of my loot (click to enlarge):


It's a pretty cool prize. It's so fun to win something.

I think this is a preview for the contest I really want to win. . . . HGTV DreamHome in Sonoma, HERE WE COME!!

Disneyland Pictures!! They are finally here!

Okay, so two weekends ago my little sister Amy and I went to Disneyland and California Adventure for two days. Just the two of us. What an adventure. We had so much fun. We dressed the same everyday. Don't ask why. It was just fun. Some highlights of the trip include:

  • Amy smearing tater tots and ketchup all over my face to save it from getting on my shirt.
  • Our pack packs filled with snacks.
  • Going to every bathroom in the entire park, at least once. Some two or three times.
  • Being asked a dozen times if we were actually twins. And then having them FREAK OUT when we would tell them we are 13 years apart.
  • Singing Feliz Navidad a hundred times and maybe being on TV.
  • When that guy thought Amy was a famous singer or wanted her to be.
  • Amy getting picked to be the star in High School Musical.
  • The new Toy Story ride!
  • Getting stuck on Pirates for 30 minutes. Yo Ho!
  • The tiki room dance.
  • Going to dinner with Greg & Brittany.
  • Gothic Day.
  • Amy losing her ticket and then being saved by the girl at lost & found. We heart her.
  • Amy's video of her on the Maliboomer. We would watch it over & over in line and we would laugh until we cried a hundred times and then everyone around us would want to watch it and we would show it to them. I am going to try to post that on here, but I can't figure out how to switch it from vertical to horizontal. :(
  • Clam chowder in a bread bowl.
  • Having the most PERFECT spot for the fireworks show and Fantasmic.
  • Hot chocolate.
  • Being the VERY LAST ones to ride space mountain and getting an entire train to ourselves. OWN TRAIN! OWN TRAIN! WOOOOOOOO!!!
