Let's Go Cubbies!

I had the opportunity to go with my Mom to a Cubs Spring Training game. My mom works at SRP and also works with all of the Chambers that SRP is a part of.

SRP had two extra tickets to the game and Caryn, a woman my mom works with, told her to take someone and go. Well, she invited me. Oh my goodness... was I excited when she told me.

From that moment, I counted down the days.

This game was also special because we were guests of the City of Mesa. Which meant that we got to sit in the Mayor's Box. That was so much fun! We were at the game with Bill Jabjiniak, his wife, and other guests. It was a lot of fun.

We also got a tour of the media box and also got to see the organist up close. It was pretty cool.


Here are some pictures from the game:

We won!

Desert Botanical Gardens

Several weeks ago, I went with Janet and Jocelyn to the Desert Botanical Gardens. I needed to go for my Environmental Biology class and decided I didn't want to go alone. We spent a few hours there and we had a lot of fun!

I kept asking them if they were having a good time because I didn't want them to be bored. I bet they got tired of hearing me ask.

The Chihuly exhibit is there right now. It is amazing stuff. We loved walking around looking at all of the different sculptures.

We had fun spending time together. Well, I at least had a ton of fun spending some time with them.Here is some of what we saw and did:

Enjoy!

Ok so I went a little picture crazy, but we did have a ton of fun!

Movie Night

My mom took off work this afternoon and we went to the movies. My dad is at Mountain Men, so it was just the two of us.

We went to see "Race to Witch Mountain." Oh my goodness... I LOVED it. When the first Witch Mountain movies came out several years ago, I loved them. When I found out another one was coming out, I could not wait!

I suggest this movie for anyone. Well, it has a couple of "tense" moments, but they are not too bad. I could watch this movie a million times and still love it like I was watching it for the first time.

Hey Mister! Throw Me Something!

On Tuesday, February 24th, my family and I went over to the Ayala's house to celebrate Mardi Gras. This is something we do every year (almost), so I didn't want to miss it! So... I skipped math that night.

This year I got to throw and ride in the back of a truck. It was a lot of fun! I didn't do a very good job of judging how much to throw each time, so I had some left over. Oh well.

For the kids, catching the beads, candy, and other stuff, is the best part and for the adults, the food is the best part, as well as watching the kids have a great time!

Here they are waiting patiently for the parade to start:
Caution: Picture overload, I am so sorry. At least they are cute pictures! :-)

Here's the fun part:

And of course... eating together. Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of the food, but if you can imagine, jambalaya, beans and rice, and other foods I can't remember. Sorry!
