Sometimes...

So sometimes, for no reason at all, I just feel like saying, "Hell".

. . . I can't explain it . . .

Like its not like I am mad or anything, I just feel like saying it.

Today is one of those days.

And unfortunately typing it isn't the same as saying it.

So rest assured that today I said hell at least once.

Here is a cute picture so you don't feel like this was a

complete waste of your time.

Mariah likes to show everyone her "button"

and sometimes she will come over and lift up your shirt

to show everyone your button. Its pretty funny.

San Diego 2010

So for Thomas and my last hoorah before

we have to go back to the real world of work

. . . AND school . . .

We decided to go to San Diego.

It was SO fun and I realized, again, I love going

on road trips with Thomas.

They are the BEST!

It was just a Friday to Sunday trip, but

I love those ones the best sometimes.

So on Friday we went to work for a couple hours,

then I picked Thomas up from work (Thanks Sonny)

And we were on the road by 10AM.

Our goal was to get to Sea World in time to see

the Shamu Show. . . and we did. And it did not disappoint

Thanks to my sissy Rachel we had 2 day passes

and were able to go on Saturday afternoon too.

(Day 1 at Sea World)

After traveling all day then going to Sea World we were pooped

and went to our hotel. Which I highly recommend BTW.

The Double Tree in Del Mar was Awesome!

They gave us delicious warm

oatmeal chocolate chip with walnut cookies upon our

arrival and when we left they gave us some for the road!

That's what I call hospitality.

Anywho . . . Saturday Morning we decided to go to the beach

since Sea World was open til 11PM that day.

I loved it. I am not a beach person.

Like I think its pretty, but I cant spend all day there.

I think one reason might be because I am pasty white.

But this time I really enjoyed it.

There was grass at this one, and it wasn't super crowded.

So we pulled out our Diet Mountain Dew, our Cheez-its,

and our football and had a blast at the beach.

When we decided we'd had enough of the beach,

we went to Hodad's to eat a delicious hamburger . . . only

problem . . . it was 12:00 and everyone had the same idea.

So we settled for a pizza place down the street and I am

SO glad we found that little gem.

Our pepperoni and mushroom calzone was to die for.

After that we went back to our hotel to get showered and

ready for Sea World.

In case you didn't know . . .

Sea World on Saturday= PACKED.

but we were able to do everything we wanted

and at around 5:00PM it started clearing out some.

We might have gone to the shark exhibit twice

and I loved it both times.

I have a interest/hate relationship with sharks

and whales for that matter.

Shamu scares the crap out of me.

(Thomas saving me from Shamu)

But I love Sea World.

(and the shamu beetle)

After Sea World we journeyed back to Hodad's

and were able to eat that for dinner.

Then we went back to Hotel and watched

youtube videos of shark/whale attacks.

It was awesome, and I think Thomas is scared of them now too.

San Diego was so Fun and I am so

Glad we were able to go and see Shamu,

the star fish, the penguins, the sea lions, the dolphins, the

polar bears, the moray eels(this is more of a hate/hate relationship),

and all the other animals at sea world. And I am

glad I have my best friend to go on all my trips with.

I love my life.

Twins

Since Mike D'Antoni became the Suns coach

my family noticed an uncanny resemblence

between him . . . Coach Mike D'Antoni

and him . . . Rikki Tikki Tavi.

. . . Angry Mike . . .

. . . Angry Rikki . . .

I miss Mike. ALOT.

Remember That One Time

. . . So remember that one time . . .

. . . like TWO months ago . . .
. . . At around 12:45 . . .

. . . This super cute boy . . .
. . . Decided to make me . . .

. . . the happiest girl on the planet . . .

. . . And we were sealed . . .

. . . for time and ALL eternity . . .

Yeah . . . me too.

. . . And I am so grateful for him . . .

. . . and now I can't imagine . . .

. . . how I used to live without him . . .

Happy 2 Month Anniversary Mots!

Round Table

This year Thomas and I were honored to be
able to attend our first Round Table camp out.

On our way up to Big Lake . . . can you tell how excited we are?


It did not disappoint.

Now I cannot include many details

about said "Round Table"

because its activities are top secret.

I can tell you we went to Big Lake . . .

We ate a lot of tasty food . . .

The Jones Family was in charge of dinner one night.

. . . Thomas and I did the dishes . . .


We went fishing . . .

We just hung out with all our married Allred cousins.

And sat around the campfire telling stories and eating smores . . . yum.

side note: use rolos next time you make smores.

It was so fun!
I honestly don't know the last time

my family went camping.

Probably because we grew up hating it

and hearing how terrible it was.

Anyway, we had so much fun

I can't wait til next year!

and on our way home we were able to

stop at El Rey and eat a delicious

green chile cheese crisp.
