BINGO

Brett's Grandparents live in Sunset and in July they celebrate there City Days. They have a great celebration one of my favorites. Of course Brett loves it for the Car show and all the different Car events, which I have to say the "Burn Out Competition" was rather entertaining. But Winigers hosted a bingo game they had great prizes. We called his grandma and grandpa to come over and by the time the got over and before they could sit down (Brett and I were doing their cards) the grandma won BINGO. She one the first two games, than Brett won the next two games. They cleaned HOUSE. It is always best when you win, but even if we hadn't we still would have had a great time just spending time with them. Their is never a dull moment with them, I laugh so much.

Happy Birthday President Monson!!!

Today Brett and I had the chance to go to his parents Stake Conference, Where Elder Ballard and Elder Jensen spoke at. I'm so glad we decided to go, not just so we would get home a lot earlier from church (hate 1pm church) but because their talks were faboulous. Elder Jensen made a comment about it being Pres. Monsons birthday on the 19th, and it made me think of this video clip. I loved going it lifted my spirits and Im sure all in attendance. One more thing Elder Jensen spoke of was how differnt was people can feel the spirit. He told a story of a girl whose parents were taking the dissicusions, one day while the missionaries were there she walked in and said "I'm ready to be baptized". the missioniares confused said " well you dont know anything" she replied "I know enough, It wasnt so much in what you said, or what you prayed, it was in your song". She felt the spirit through song. I latter thought about how I feel the spirit.. I was watching Nascar with Brett and the announcers asked for a moment of silience, I thought to myself and theres nothing wrong with this in face it might be a stretch to even relate the two cause they are differnt things but I thought of this. Before the meeting began, everyone was talking quietly until Elder Ballard and Elder Jensen walked in than there was a all over hush in the tabernacle. No one had to be asked to be quite it just happened. It will continue to always happen no matter who will be in attendance. I believe becuase for that moment when an Apostle or Prophet enters a room all feel the spirit at least I know I did. I got so choked up over this, I love the respect we have and the love we have for these leaders of the church.

Anyway in this video Pres Monson answers the question of what he would like for his birthday present from members worldwide. I know I will be keeping my eyes and ears open to those who may be in need.

Newport Beach

Monday we took it easy and realaxed at Newport Beach. It was a nice overcast day. We layed and walked on the beach all day. It was a great way to end a busy weekend. I had a great time keeping Bretts Birthday present a secret, and I loved planning this trip, usually he makes all the plans on trips so it was nice to see that I can plan a great weekend. Happy Birthday Brett, hope you had a great time.

So now I know why Disneyland is so Expensive

So even though we loved and had a great time there, we dont live for rides and rollarcoasters, however the Firework show by itself is worth the price you pay. It was nice since it was Bretts birthday he got in free but my ticket was $69.00 thats crazy expensive to me, but I would pay it again and again to see the fireworks they were amazing. Tinkerbell, and Dumbo both made apperances in the sky, it was pretty cute.

Disneyland

We went to Disneyland on Bretts Birthday, for it being a weekend durning the summer I thought it would have been way busy, but to our surprise it wasn't bad at all. We went early and got in all the rides that tend to get long lines, and finished right before lunch, left the Park and of course headed to In-N-Out so Brett could have that on his birthday. We came back to the Park rode some of our favorites again and than hit the smaller more relaxing rides. We both loves Splash Mountain. You cant help but go on the ride and be so happy on it, Its just a Happy ride. I loved its a Small World I remember that being my moms favorite. The biggest Highlight of the Day Brett and I would both agree on is in the post to come.....

And People Are CRAZY

So as I'm setting down with one of my clients today the door bell rings. It was a guy that we had sold some of our chickens to a couple months ago. He says " I need to exchange these Roosters for Hens". I was so taken by surprise, I didn't know what to do. 1st of all you can never tell which are male and female at that young, so therefore we would never guarantee that the buyer is getting hens. Although with these ones we did no for sure that one of them was a boy, and we told him that and he was OKwith having one boy. He even acted like he knew a lot about chickens and told us "Oh yeah these are Hens", we thought whatever buddy. Well all 3 of them ended up being Roosters. So back to the story he goes to the backyard and than says Oh Ill take that one. I thought whatever buddy you'll take what I give you. WHY I LET HIM EXCHANGE THEM IN THE 1ST PLACE I DON'T KNOW. But he sure wasn't going to pick out what he wanted. I Called Brett frantically because we know have 2 Roosters that are going crazy and thinking they own the JOINT. He couldn't believe what the guy had the nerve to do. We are not a STORE, we never promised him they were Hens. One of the guys Brett works with said that Casandra should have asked for his receipt.

Meanwhile we have 5 babies, 1 Hen and, 2 Roosters, We just put an ad trying to sell them for only a Buck hope we do. Not sure what the neighbors will think when they wake up to not only 1 but 2 Crowing Roosters. Im sure they loved the quitness the last month of us not having any roosters.

This ones for Cal

Cal, can you guess what ride were on at Disneyland? While heading to Disneyland from San Diego I called my sister Danell (who was just recently at Disneyland) and asked her what rides we needed to go on, she listed a few and then mentioned the Buzz Lightyear ride, Cal overheard this and wanted so badly to come with us, he didnt understand why he couldn't and neither do we Danell it would have only taken 6 hours and he could have joined us, haha. We did like this ride though your arm gets kind of tired holding the gun though.

San Diego Temple

After La Jolla Cove, we drove over to the Temple. I haven't seen this Temple since Wayne and Amy got married and that was well over 10 years ago. I loved seeing it again its very Spectacular and eye catching. I told Brett that I also loved going to places again that the last time I was there it was with my mom, for some reason it reminds me of my mom when she was healthy and I can remember the good times with her. Brett and I were both surprised that this Temple didnt have Visitors Center, but their were volunteers willing to answer questions. We had a great time.

La Jolla Cove

So the internet rated La Jolla Cove as a Beautiful Romantic spot. It was a very gorgeous place. I love looking out at the Ocean, it doesnt get any better than that. I would also give it a thumbs up I loved it.

What's wrong with Shamu???

Apparently Shamu gets pretty exhausted after a show. We were a little worried he was dead or something was wrong with him. But I haven't heard anything on the news so I guess he's just taking a power nap. Pretty interesting.
