A vacation sneak preview

I just wanted to share a couple of my favorites so far;)

Lakers

Last night the Lakers played the New Jersey Nets and Milo and I cheered them on from COURTSIDE SEATS!! He scored AMAZING tickets from his boss (my new favorite person). The first two pics are of the action and how it looked from our seats (I would have taken more of the action but I felt self conscious being so close to the players and I was a little distracted by the celebrities). The next shot is of the floor at our feet - we were afraid to set anything down in case we scratched it or something! And the last shot is one that J.R. sent to us. He took it on his TV at home. I am sure the talent agents will be calling any minute;)

Happy Halloween

Arghhhhhhh matey! We had a fantastic pirate themed Halloween party Firday night. Every year we see a ton of trick or treat-ers and this year was no different. The kids spent most of the evening out on the front lawn fighting over who would put the candy in the bags and playing with the pirate ship that Milo built. The kids did a little bit of trick or treat-ing as well so we got to visit some of the festive houses in the neighborhood. Being a loving wife, I have to say ours was the best of course;)

Pumpkin Patch

Last weekend, the Gonzalez family made their annual pilgrimage to the pumpkin patch. The kids rode as many rides as their evenly split tickets could afford. Vince discovered a true love of horses and tried out his own ANTM moves. He and Milo also made a new friend! I think the man was actually aware that we were taking pics of his shirt but, really, what did he expect?!The actual pumpkin picking took all of 15 seconds but the day was a hit none the less.

Maya Peee-paya

I know she's not mine but she's so darn cute! Apparently she has decided that crossing her arms is THE thing to do;) Alli has yet to figure out the internet so I thought I would just share these few pics of Maya from their weekend in Phoenix. She went to visit her other aunt, Michelle, and she spent some time at the pool. Luckily for J.R. and Alli, I have two babies of my own or I would definitely be stealing this one!

What a weekend

Oh where to begin.... last weekend was full of all kinds of new activities. Daddy's boss had a birthday party which included wild animals, rock stars and really yummy cake. We arrived late so that Livi and I didn't have much time with the animals plus we brought Andi along to keep an extra eye on the two of us (mommy and daddy were REALLY not too sure about the wild animals:). In spite of their efforts though, we saw the zebra, cougar, lion (who Livi heckled), tiger, and wolf up close and personal. We also ran around with the son of Chester Bennington, lead singer for Linkin Park. When the teenage kids were asking for autographs Livi had to join in and ended up with his autograph on her arm. She still can't figure out why he misspelled "Olivia". The cake and other deserts were so delicious that no one could resist having more than one. Andi actually had five under the assumption that this was the only billionaire's birthday party she is likely to attend in her lifetime;)

On Sunday, we went to the opening game for the Ducks. It was my first hockey game and I truly enjoyed the unabashed male aggressiveness! At one point I felt the need to thrash around and annoy anyone sitting near us just so that I could be a part of the violence. By the time we arrived at home I was a little giddy from such a full weekend so I decided it was time to strike a few goofy posses. Gosh, I am just so cute!
