Fourth of July in the "Wood" as in IngleWood

This year, we went to two Fourth of July parties. One at The August's and a block party at The Regul's. Early in the day we headed over to Mike, Jon, and Amy's for a bit of BBQ, swimming, and homemade carrot cake cupcakes which were oh-so-yummy! We had a great time hanging out with them. We had them practically to ourselves until it was time for us to leave which was about 2pm, then a few other guests came over. We headed home and I washed the chlorine out of my newly colored hair, grabbed some guac that Hubs made, put Moses in the car, and we headed down to Inglewood for the rest of the day. When we arrived we found Danielle's brother Joe Bosco in the kitchen making a 7-layer cake which seemed out of the ordinary for Joe. We quickly ran into Mike Montez and his fiancé, Allison, who were in town from Portland. Jung of course, was there as part of the LA crew and then some of Toby's friends had driven down to partake in the block party fun. The only person not there was Toby, who was supposed to fly in from Georgia but his plane was delayed. He got there just as we were leaving. Penny had fun bouncing in a bounce house, meeting a boa snake (yes, a guy brought his pet snake to the party), eating snow cones, gobbling down salty popcorn, and playing with neighborhood kids. She loved eating watermelon wedges and taking down the Bosco Cake, and of course, hanging out with her best pal, Danielle. When it came time for fireworks, Penny went bonkers at at the different displays which seemed to surround us. I don't think I've ever experienced anything quite like it before in my life! Fireworks were simply everywhere and they last for two hours. Moses did not like it. Poor guy was really scared. Both mom and dad sat with him until we left the Regul's. Poor Mo. Overall, it was a fun holiday!

Behind Door Number One

Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...

Surfing Goat Diary

We left the store and headed to the Surfing Goat Diary, again, this was a second trip for us but what was different this time is that we scheduled an hour long tour. Last time we arrive right before closing and were rushed. We spent a fair amount of time there exploring before the tour. We tried their cheesecake, we met the cats and dogs that roamed the place, we played in the playground, we pet and fed the baby goats that were penned up, and pursued the little store. Penny was eager to get her hands on the chocolate goat milk truffles. I must admit they did look good. I had my eyes on a t-shirt and a mug. Our tour started at 3:30pm that day and we met all the goats and learned all about the farm. But the most exciting part of the tour was getting the opportunity to milk the goats. Penny was quite a good milker. A friend later reminded me that Penny was breastfed (wink, wink). By the time the tour ended we were extremely hot. Maui was hot but also humid. We were ready to...

Mark ur calendars, Dec 12 is an awesome day to go to Disneyland! There was no one at the park yesterday morning. We had 3 amazing hours 8am to 11am to ride! Some Disneyland records we set yesterday:  ✅A After many years, we finally got a wristband (and bought) a giant Disneyland candy cane.  ✅F First people on pirates of the carribean.  ✅ Line for Indiana Jones was 10 minutes long  😳  This never happens and we sat next to the people (strangers) who sat next to us on pirates b ut we did not walk over to the ride with them. ✅ By a fluke, we were also the first people on Big Thunder Mountain and kiddo rode in the cart by herself! (They opened late and we were in the right spot) ✅Kiddo  rode front seat on Matterhorn because a kind guy, his first visit, said he was too tall to sit in front and she wouldn’t be able to see sitting behind him ✅ Prode space mountain for the first time and huffed that it wasn’t scary and it was no IncrediCoaster. And the line...
