Epic Weekend

Last weekend was a blast. Unfortunately I've been recovering since then so I am just now finding a moment to blog about it. It all started on Friday. I had to work (coaching Volleyball) and my team got destroyed. I felt so bad but the kids on the other team were GIANTS! I didn't let it get me down because I knew we were going to a fun get together afterwards. We went to the cutest Ho Down put on by the cutest ladies and had a blast eating, dancing, and talking.



Ironically, When I told bryce about the party, he said "Do I have to dress up?" I said yes. Then he said "OK but I'm just going to wear my cowboy hat." Well, that cowboy hat must have been related to Frosty the snowman's magic hat because when he put it on, he instantly went looking for more things to perfect his costume. He kept saying "How do I look?" It was cute :)
For the party I made this delectable treat (if I do say so myself)
That's right, you're looking at a mini chees cake with a PEANUTBUTTER CUP inside, with a chocolate drizzle and toffee bits on top. And yes, It DID taste as good as it looked :)

We took our friends Sean and Jill to the party and while we were there, the boys somehow got on the subject of the Redbull Soapbox Race that was happening the next day. We all agreed it sounded awesome, so we decided to be spontaneous and go. So we got up early and drove to Sean and Jill's and then took the train to dowtown LA for the race. This thing was INSANE!!! So Much Fun!

The people-watching was excellent

ET

The Soapbox cars started at the top of 5th and then made a hard left hand turn onto Grand (this is where most of the accidents occured) and there were some wild cars. Here are some pics.

Then we raced home and headed to the Angels Game with this Guy. The game kinda stunk, but he still had fun AND got a free Angel's chips-and-salsa platter!! Thanks for the tickets Dave :)
Last of all, when the game was over, we headed over to ESPN Zone at Downtown Disney to see some buddies and wish our friend Mark a happy birthday.


SERIOULSY, so much FUN!!!

This post makes me tired!! I bet you slept well after all that. The races look awesome, but maybe not as awesome as the people watching. I wish we could've gone, I love to people watch and make my little comments and have John constantly tell me to lower my voice when there's no way on earth those people could've heard me. :)
P.S. Eva asked me yesterday, as we drove by the pumpkin house on 1600 North, when you and Bryce were coming to visit us. :(
