More California!!!

It seems like everytime I update I have been to California! I guess that is the only thing exciting I do with my life. This trip was with my Mom and Dad, we flew down to visit my Aunt Marilyn and go to the Nascar races. I didn't really care either way about the races but Dad keep pressuring me all week to choose a driver and car number, so when we went to the races it was between two drivers, rookie Joey Logano and Daytona 500 winner Matt Kenseth I couldn't really choose between the two so when we got to the trucks that have all the gear you can buy I just simply went with which one had the cutest girl cloths. My diver ended up being number 17 Matt Kenseth!! I guess I picked a good one because he won and became one of only four drivers to win the first two races of the season!! We also went to the beach and picked seashells(this is mom and Aunt Marilyn's favorite thing) and there were tons and tons of surfers in the water so I didn't pick up to many seashells but I loved watching the surfers, it was so cool!! Later that day went to eat at Ruby's Diner on the Pier, we ended up seeing some Dolphins, Sea Otter, and a California brown ray (looks like a sting ray but doesn't sting). We also watching the sunset for there, it ended up being beautiful.

I Love California!!!!!

A few weeks ago Alonso and I headed to California for a bike race. We were down there for 10 days it was the best vacation ever. We stayed with my cousin for a few days and they took to Ruby's Diner and for a tour of the harbor. They also got us ticket to go to Catalina island that was the first time either one of us have been there and it was really fun. We took a tour that went behind the island and up to the Airport in the Sky. Tom Cruise use to store his private jet there. We then went to Long Beach for the bike race we both did really good and finish in the top 10 of our age groups. It was a very pretty ride it takes you right along the beach path past the Queen Mary and through the Long Beach State College, its 26 miles long with over 20 miles of it on the beach, it is extremely fun and a gorgeous view. After that we headed to Ontario, CA where we spent a few days with Alonso's family. It was his father's 70 birthday party so his sister and his brothers put together a fabulous dinner and we had a great party for him. It was great to get to know his family a little better and to meet everyone. We had one more adventure ahead of us we went to Knott's Scary Farm. During the month of October they decorate the Farm up into Halloween and on the ride they have ghosts and witchs that pop out of you, it makes more intense but really fun. My favorite ride was called ghost rider it is this really old ride that is on a wooden rollercoaster but it goes really fast and it really fun. We had a great trip and as we made the journey home we both wished we could have stayed forever.

Viva Las Vegas!!!!

A few weeks ago we all went to Las Vegas to watch Harley dance in her national competion. There team did great, she danced to so good and there best of show took first which was very exciting. Even though dance competitions are extremely boring at this one we took Cory along and if you ever need any entertainment he is the guy to ask. We play nintendo DS, watched movies, and played the PortablePlayStation, so needless to say it was the best dance competion I have ever been too.

Annie "I" Over

I don't know if any of you played Annie "i" over but our family played it all the time with all of our neighbors when we kids. It is a game that doesn't involve much, all you need is a ball, a house, and two teams. Each team stands on opposite sides of the house and throws the ball over to the other side once a team has three catches you run around to the other side and try to tag as many people as you can. Anyone who gets tagged then becomes a member of your team. It is a very simple game but always tons of fun. Anyways we started playing after dinner and before we knew we had Melissa's neighbors coming out wondering what the heck we were playing. We had tons of fun playing and Mom and Grandma enjoyed watching us play like big kids.

Happy Father's Day!!

The family all gathered at Melissa to celebrate Father's Day!! We had Shishkabobs and the fabulous African rice for dinner and for dessert Alonso showed up we wonderful chocolate cheesecake and regular cheese with strawberry glaze it was wonderful. We all had a great day and enjoy celebrating our father.

Shishkabobs!!

Today is Father's Day and all the girls attempted to make Shishkabobs for dinner. I did all the marinated because I have watched my cousin Amber marinate and it always turns out soooo good. I just added a little bit of this and a little bit of that and the flavor turned out pretty close to hers, but somehow it just better when she does it. I left the cooking up to Tami, Mom, and Melissa but as I soon found out that was a big mistake. I stopped in to check on them and they had let all the vegtables fall of the sticks so by the time they were finished cooking there was only about 1/2 the vegtables left but the dinner still turned out wonderful and we had a great day together.

WII FIT!!

Wii Fit, what a great nintendo game for the whole family. It gets everyone off the couch exerciseing and having a great time. The other night I took it down to Tami's so they could try it out and we had tons of fun. Jeremy was really getting into the hula hoop and Tami was getting mad that she couldn't beat him, and of course little miss dancing queen blew everyone out of the water. We had tons of fun playing.
