A weekend of firsts...

So this weekend I had a couple of firsts for some things I have never done before...

First on Friday night we went to the Cardinals game!! I have never been to a professional football game. It was really fun and we had super good seats. Thanks Dan and Holly for the tickets (they actually gave them to Jameson's dad who gave them to us). It was an awesome game. They did really bad in the first half, but almost came back to win it at the very end!

Jameson was worried for this to be my first game.. He didn't want me to get too excited or have too much fun cuz he really wants me to be a Cowboy fan not a

Cardinal fan... we'll see about that.

Then on Saturday we went to the Diamondbacks game. I've been to the Diamondback games before, but last night after the game they had a concert. And I have NEVER been to a concert. I have always wanted to go to one, but just never have. So after the Dbacks killed Houston 9-0 we heard Montgomery Gentry sing. They aren't my favorite band and OK I guess for my first concert, but I do really like country music! Here I am on the stage...


Just kidding I took pictures of the jumbo tron because we were too far away to get really good pictures..haha you thought I was serious didn't you...


Then this last week, Jameson actually had one of his own firsts! He was at work spraying a customers house (he does pest control right now in case you didn't know) So while he was spraying the customer opened her garage and her dog ran out coming right at Jameson. He said it was a pretty big dog too, and right as it came at him he turned and the dog bit him!! That's right, my husband got bit by a dog! Here is a picture of his disgusting bite mark.

He thinks its pretty cool cuz he's a boy, but I think it looks gross...you can tell from the picture though it really was a big dog. My poor hubby

San Diego 2009

Finally, here are some pictures from our trip to San Diego. Here

we are on Mission Beach...

Me and my niece Jordyn.. such a sweetie pie!!

Hunter and Brexton. Hunter is really good with Brexton and

all the younger cousins. So cute!

Sunday we decided to go for a walk, since we really couldn't get in the water on a Sunday. Well, on Mission Beach they have this rock peninsula called the jetta. You can walk out on the rocks and you end up walking out really far into the ocean. The walk took a lot longer than expected because we saw lots of cool creatures along the way and kept stopping to see them... like these starfish at the very edge of the jetta

However, there are consequences for walking outside in San Diego with no sunscreen. I didn't think we would be gone for very long so I did not even think about sunscreen, especially since we weren't even going to the beach that day. Well, this is what happens... you get BURNT RED!!! It was definitely not fun to get burnt the first day. I was afraid of making it worse so I lathered myself in sunscreen every day after that. So much for trying to get a tan. I tanned from my burn, but now its all peeling off. Not to mention, sleeping with burnt shoulders and back would have to be at the top of my "things I hate most" list. Word to the wise.. always think of sunscreen!

Then on Wednesday, Jameson's mom bought tickets for everyone to go to Sea World. I was really excited to go because when we went to Sea World for my first time on our honeymoon there was a storm. So I never really got the full experience of Sea World. This time it was awesome! Even though it was more crowded I really likes going with the nieces and nephews because they all were so excited about every little thing. Here we are in the polar bear exhibit... you can tell by Wednesday the sun burn went down a little bit

Here is Shamu... always a favorite classic of Sea World!

Here are the barking sea lions always begging for food... you have to be careful though when you feed them so the birds don't get the fish

And one of the funniest parts of Sea World was Dan, my brother-in-law, got picked to come up in front of everyone during the Cirque de la Mar show. The character from the show came up the stairs, took one look at him, saw his big muscles and asked him to follow him to the front of the stage. There he had to compete with the other guy to see who was better and had bigger muscles. It was hilarious!! He was bigger than the other guy, and in my opinion much funnier, but the other guy won because I think they planted him and paid him to be a part of the show...

Then on our last day in San Diego, Bryan and Katie came to hang out before their three week long vacation. We spent the morning at the beach and then the afternoon in Seaport Village. For some reason Bryan enjoys spending his vacation digging holes on the beach. He made one that was as deep as he was tall. But he quickly had to fill it in because of all the little kids. They loved it so much, but one got a little too close and fell in... not so good. This picture shows him about only half way done with his hole...

Us four just being goofy... I think this is actually the first

picture we have with Bryan and Katie

At the end of the day, this was an amazing trip and vacation. I enjoyed taking some time off from work and spending time with Jameson's side of the family. Jameson and I both think San Diego is our favorite vacation spot by far.. cant wait til we go back

CRICUT!!

Oh and I almost forgot... I got a bonus this month of $150! So Jameson let me get something I wanted for awhile now and this weekend it was on sale! I got a Cricut! I have tons of scrapbooking to do now after this vacation and I cant wait! Jamesons mom has one so I already know how to use it and I know how convenient they are too for someone like me who loves scrapbooking! This is the best thing I could have gotten with my bonus. I love it!

my first break down

So yesterday, we just got back from our week long vacation in San Diego (another post with pics to come). When we got back we were unloading the car and then I got in our car to pop the trunk (because we don't have a key to open it you have to use the button). Well to my surprise the trunk wouldn't open and nothing else would turn on either. The battery was completely dead!!! Apparently the car door had been slightly open the entire time we were gone, which left the light on and completely drained our battery. So Jameson and his dad took the jumper cables and jumped the car...
Since I needed gas, the plan was for me to drive my car to the station, leave it on while I filled it up and then drive it back to our apartment. Which, all of this is within short distance and I didn't think it would be a problem. Well, no one told me as I was driving to the station I wasn't allowed to turn the air on in the 110 plus degree weather. So I did, and when I was at the intersection waiting for the light to turn (which is literally at the corner of the station) the car all of sudden shut off. I was stuck at the front of the intersection with no clue what I was suppose to do.
As traffic kept approaching I called Jameson, who didn't answer, and then I called his parents. His mom answered I told her what happened and she had Glen meet me at the corner. While I was waiting, I didn't know what to do with my car because I had no lights to turn on my flashers and I was afraid to get out thinking someone might hit me. Luckily, this really nice guy, who also teaches traffic school and is a safety instructor for the ASU saw me and came over to help me. He just got done teaching school and told me exactly what to do. Since I didn't have any flashers he popped my hood and told me I needed to stand on the corner in the shade and wait while he called the police. There was no way I could get my car out of traffic and out of the intersection without extra help.
So finally Jamesons dad arrived and shortly after the cops arrived. They had to stop the traffic as Jamesons dad put my car in neutral and another cop pushed my car into the gas station. Sadly, by the time I got over there the cops and the gentleman who helped me were gone. So not only do I know their names I did not get to thank them. What a way to get back into the real world after vaccation!! I'm just glad people are there at the right time to help in a time of need. It just reassures me that no matter how many things go wrong Heavenly Father is always watching and is always there to help us.
