busy, busy, busy, but doing so good!

Well, I feel like the last two months have been so busy, and I'm not even traveling that much for work. It's been so nice. Mike and his co-workers threw a huge leader appreciation dinner for work a couple weeks ago. It all turned out so nice. We celebrated Mike's birthday, my mom's birthday, and my aunt's birthday. We joined a growth group, made a couple trips to Disneyland, went to the bay area for the last time (which I'll include in another post), I went to see the Ellen Degeneres Show with my friend Ariel (and got Janet Jackson concert tickets!!), started the process to open my own business with my friend Ariel, two of our great couple friends had new babies, and just enjoyed being together and not having me away for days at a time. Here are some pictures from our recent adventures. I hope everyone is doing great (by everyone, I mean the 3 people that actually read my blog :)! )

One of Mike's birthday celebrations. It was a good time - lots of food and lots of laughs :)
Kayla & Kornel's little one - Danni. SO cute!

My little family sleeping in. Oh my gosh, even the dogs have their favorite! :) Dizzy is hiding her face. It's too early to take her picture :)

Our cousin, Colin, came along to help us celebrate Barb's birthday. Man, this boy is so awesome!

I made this birthday cake for my mom. It was pretty much the most disgusting thing any of us had ever tasted. But, at least it looks pretty on the outside!

Celebrating my mom's birthday at Sorrento's (or Sargento's - as we are in the bad habit of calling it)

One of our trips to Disneyland. In line for Space Mountain. This picture cracks me up!

Mike's birthday BBQ with my family. I used to be their favorite. Until I married him :)

This is our growth group. We are the only childless couple, but we see it one of two ways: excellent birth control or just the nudge we need to get into baby-making gear! The jury is still out :)

ELLEN!!!!!!!!!! We saw Sawyer from Lost, Mario Lopez & Janet Jackson! It was SO fun!

Michael with Elijah Michael. I think we have a picture almost EXACTLY like this with Elijah's big brother Malachi. Haha, Mike's a little freaked to hold baby babies, but he did quite well!

Barb's birthday cake at El Ranchero. I made this one too, and actually redeemed myself.

We went to the original Bob's Big Boy for lunch before Ellen. I think that was my first time going there.
