Disneyland on MLK day

On Martin Luther King Jr Day we went to Disneyland with Linda and their family friend Sandra who was visiting from Guatemala. We had a fun day. The best part was that we had a front line pass for "Finding Nemo" so we didn't have to wait in line a all. Yeah!!!

One tired Gretta. We actually only stayed until about 2:30pm. Gretta was really tired and complained that her head hurt. Then the worst part of the day was on the way home when Gretta threw up EVERYWHERE. She also had a fever of 102, and complained her throat hurt. After a trip to the doctors office and a strep test we found out she had strep. Poor kid. She was such a good sport considering she didn't feel that well. It's a good thing we live so close to Disneyland, so we didn't stay all day.

I love you Gretta!

Gretta's new hair cut

Eric and I took Gretta on Saturday to get her 2nd hair cut. The only other hair cut she has ever had is by our friend Wendy in Boise. Gretta did great. She was a little scared at first because she thought it would hurt, but after the first cut she realized that it was going to be okay.

The finished product.

Isn't she so cute!!!

What happened to my little girl? Gretta looks so grown up now.

LA Clippers Game Court Side

Eric told me he had something special planned for our Saturday night date night. He took care of everything. He told me to be ready at 6:00pm in casual cloths. The babysitter arrived then just a few minutes later his sister, Allison and her husband Rod, arrived too. We got in their car and headed??? I didn't know where we were going. I had asked him before if we were going to a LA Laker's game and he said that the Laker's weren't playing on the 17th. We headed to downtown and once we got to the Staples Center I figured out what was going on, but I had no idea how good it was going to be. There was Clippers game at the Staples Center on the 17th. As we pulled into the parking garage they directed us to the VIP parking. It was sweet! Then we had dinner at the ESPN Zone at LA LIVE! Once we got to the game Eric wouldn't let me see the tickets. We kept going down, and down and down until we were on the FLOOR! My feet were on the FLOOR! We were right under the basket. It was so cool!!! I know that the Clippers are the B team in town, but still court side at the Staples Center is court side! It was so cool to see the players up close, and be only about 20 feet away from the bench. You could see all of the inside jokes and the players expressions on the court. It was so cool. Of all the sport I like watching Basketball is my favorite! I grew up going to the BSU games with my dad and we had great seat too. I always love good seats.
Eric was lucky enough to get these tickets from work. I guess Donald Sterling, owner of the Clippers, gave these seats to the bank. He is a client of BofA's. The ticket price is $1,500 a seat. WOW.
Thanks Eric for such a wonderful night. I felt like a movie star. You're the best!

This picture is from the top of the lower section. Can you believe how many people were behind us? Crazy.

Picture with the ultimate fan. The crazy thing about this picture is that a few extra people joined us just like they were part of the group. Two f them I was able to cut two of them out, but the guy in the back is an extra.

P.S. Dennis and Linda recorded the game on TiVo and we were on TV a whole bunch of times.

Tent building with Dad

Doesn't this look like fun!

Crib Tent and Photo's by Gretta

This is another photo by Gretta. She is getting better. At least you can see Eliza's face even if it is a little blurry. Gretta took a great pictures of Eric.


This is our newest "Craigs list" purchase. It's the Crib Tent II. I think most of the time people use these to keep kids in their cribs, but we bought it to keep Gretta out of the crib. It has worked pretty successfully, but we have to safety pin it shut because she can unzip the whole thing. She is one smart girl. Eliza also doesn't seem to mind it. The girls are now successfully sleeping in their room together. The only sleep problem of late is that Gretta is waking up at night and coming into our room. I wish they had a" bed tent" for her. Oh well.
