Wicked

John surprised me last night with tickets to Wicked for my birthday! We were in the 5th row, center stage!! Our seats were amazing, the cast was amazing, it was so much fun. Of course, I didn't take my camera, so we couldn't get a cool picture outside of Pantages Theater, but I made John take one with me when we got home! I would definitely recommend this musical to anyone!

Getty Museum

Nathan and I went to the Getty Museum on Wednesday! We went with the USC Dental Spouse Club; there were quite a few little kids! I actually did not even step inside a building to look at art. But Nathan did like the "family room" building so that he could crawl around a little. The Gardens were very pretty, and the view of Los Angeles was amazing.

Here is Nathan in the family room area, playing in the bed with books, and the other artistic things (notice I am not an art connoisseur, oh well).


All the moms and kids! :)

We had fun!!!

Friends

We had a little playgroup with a few kids on the block...they were all pretty exhausted with playing by the time we got around to taking this picture. They had fun (I think) with only a few minor injuries! Nathan wanted to steal his toys from them, he really needs to learn how to share!! :) There will be many more playgroups in the future to hopefully master this skill.

Hip Hop

So here we are (Laisa, Stacey, Ashley, Alyssa, and myself), posing with Shane Sparks after our hip hop dance class in North Hollywood. We all had a great time, I looked like a silly white girl, but hey, I had fun! Let's just say I had never danced hip hop like THAT before! :)

And of course, I had to pose in some awkward position for a picture as we were leaving...

Injury

So, although Nathan wouldn't pose for a pic, you can see that his whole left hand and half of his arm are wrapped up. Yes, I cut his index finger while I was trying to cut his fingernails. It was bleeding pretty bad, I felt bad, and I couldn't corral him long enough to put pressure on it. So, I had to call my neighbor to come help me hold him down. We finally got it done, and after only one day, we don't need any more bandages! Yea! I thought it might slow him down a little bit, but he just kept right on moving!!

Cracker Jacks

So, I was recently reintroduced to the wonderful treat of Cracker Jacks. We were on our way to a Dodger game and we didn't have any cash! So, in order to park, we needed $15. We stopped at a CVS Pharmacy to get some water and cash back. While I was standing in line to purchase my water, I saw them...sitting in a pile and my curiosity was piqued. I hadn't tried these since I was about 7 and I associated them with my Grandma T. I am an impulse buyer, and since we were going to a baseball game, I figured I would indulge in this little treat. Well, I am SO glad that I did! Although my surprise inside was just a dumb little pencil topper, the popcorn and peanuts inside were so GOOD! I will now remember this when I am on future long car trips. If you haven't had this delicious indulgence in awhile...go try it!

Now, I like salad, but you just have to relate to this!
