I Heart Jack Johnson!

Every year in October the Brdige school for disabled children holds a benefit concert. This year one of their main acts was Jack Johnson so Angela and i being the fans that we are decided to go:)

Here we are at the beginning of the concert around 2:30. We figured Jack Johnson would go on around 4, but when we got there we found out he would be basically one of the very last acts to perform:( The concert is put on by Neil Young so he did a lot of guest apperances. Besides Jack Johnson, Death Cab for Cutie, Wilco, Norah Jones, Smashing Pumpkins and Josh Groban were there.

I thought my family would be very excited to see the Josh Groban stuff:) He came out and im gonna say he is just a bit of a dork. Needless to say he was wearing plaid and glasses so Angela absolutely fell in love and you cant deny that he does have an absolutely gorgeous voice!

Here he is singing one of his songs, all decked out in plaid:)

Here is a video of Josh Groban singing and Angela confessing her love for him...



So finally after 6 hours it was time for Jack Johnson to come out- here is Angela all ready for the big perfomance!

And there he is... Jack Johnson!




Here he is singing Wasting Time, one of my fave. Jack Johnson songs! It is so much fun to hear him perform since live he sounds exactly like he does on his albums! He also sang constellations and Better Together which are my two very fave songs of him! And finally after we got to hear Jack Johnson we decided to call it a night and skipped out on Neil Young. It was a long sort of shilly day but lots of fun... and hey we did it for the kids:)!

Fright Fest...

Fright Fest is here! Every year at Six Flags, the park gets all decorated for halloween and fright fest. During the day its all kid oriented and then at night they do haunted houses and have "zombies" walking around to scare you. I am terrified of well everything so I spent most of the time with my eyes closed clutching the person clostest too me.
Here we are kicking it off at 5:00. dr. Proctor is in the middle she is the most wonderful veterinarian in the entire world! These are some of our best friends here, Angela, Kelly and Kory.

Carissa, Me, Kelly and Angela getting ready to ride some coasters then heard to spooky sealion show.

Jacob and I in the front plaza of the park, its starting to get dark.... so scary!

This is such a typical picture of Jacob telling me not to take his picture.... What a silly boy. This is before we went in to one of the haunted houses Camp Chaos and I was just telling him how it is not funny for him to try and scare me on purpose....

In line for Camp Chaos, I dont know why i get so scared, I put my hood up and clutched on to Carissa's arm the entire time, I never opened my eyes once yet I still seemed to do all the screaming. Apparently I was squeezing Carissas hand pretty tight poor girl... I hope her fingers are ok today!

We met up with our seasonal Kurtis so we could get some pictures with him before we ended the night and went to our monster free home!

So During the day its not quite so scary... This is Jordan posing for some halloween pictures with a pumpkin.

Java the bush baby taking a bite out of my nose.

This is my costume I have to wear for our halloween show that we do during the day. A Witches Brew and A Wildlife Zoo. So my coati Mya decided to pose with me for a few shots:)

My best friend st Wildlife Kimberly,we decided to use both bats for the show so here we are getting ready to go out to perform:)

And finally a picture of Java all dressed up. He is such a cute pie:) I definately prefer the "daytime monsters"!

A visit from my sister!

Sonnet and Andy were here a few days ago with their family visiting us:) it was so much fun to see them:)
We of course went our for Indian food where I introduced Sonnet to Saag Paneer and bahtura:) She was a big fan! She also had sushi for the first time and tried her first In-N-Out burger- it was quite the adventure for her!

Here is uncle Jacob with Sonnet and Andys youngest Tyler. It was the first time Jacob had ever met Silas, Teagann or Tyler so it was fun for him:)

Giving some kisses to miss Teagann Skye:), I cant believe how much she looks like Zoe now!

We of course went to the park so that they could see where I work and meet some animals, Mya really liked Andy a lot:)

They got to meet Taj the 67 year old elephant. Here they all are, Sonnet with Teagann and Silas, Ali and Tyler and Andy and Zoe

Zoe loved Java the bush baby, and Java was quite taken with her as well.

Teagann wasnt quite so sure about Java

Miss Ali and I in front of In N Out

It was a long day so we took a nice nap at the hotel

One of the only time you will ever see me in the water unless its a hot tub!

Uncle Jacob and Teagann:) We had so much fun, the only bad part about family visits is how much more we miss them all after they leave!

Home sweet HOME!

Looks like we finally have a winner! On monday we met our agent and house inspector at 2:00 to get our house inspections and make sure there was nothing terrible going on with the house that we couldnt see. after 3 hours of carefully looking over every detail of the place the inspector was very happy to announce that our house is in excellent shape! No major problems, just a few minor fix it yourselfs. If all continues to go smoothly we will be closing October 30th and be home owners for the first time! Please continue to pray that it all goes well, God has been so good!

This is the outside of the house... First thing I want to do is plant a palm tree.... you cant live in California without a palm tree!

The Kitchen! One of the major reasons I totally fell in love with this house, it is so beautiful brand new marble counter tops and stainless steel fridge:) I finally can have a real kichen!

This is the big sun room area, Jacob is going to turn this into his "man fort:)" A big work out room dedicated to the miami dolphins im sure:)

and finally the back yard, plenty of room for the girls to run around, we even have our own little apple tree- a lemon tree is definately going in next:) Its the perfect started home and worth the wait to own a home in California! After we move in i will definately post more pictures of what everything looks like with all of our stuff in it:)
