NOT J.A.K. Bauer

While most of my shots were on the target (and some very good ones), I did hit the ceiling three times(Striker only saw it twice) and I hit the "death blow" to a piece of wood in the rafter causing it to fall to the floor. The best part is that the girl next to me thought she did it. :)

Other highlights/things to note:
-Lil Dahl and I liked the .38 Special (we called it the sissy gun).
-Shades also brought two .40 Smith & Wessons which we weren't fans of, but the boys liked them. I did shoot pretty well with them though.
-There was an IDIOT shooting a 357 Magnum that scared the crap out of the 3 newbies and of course he was right next to us.

It was fun and I'd totally do it again. I might even load my own bullets next time.

Thanks Shades/Shrek and Lil Dahl!

Lunch Date

Our plans for today were cancelled this morning, so I ran an errand that took us to The Shoppes around lunchtime. I decided we'd share a salad from Chipotle and enjoy Pinkberry while watching the splash pad. I'm fairly certain that our eating on Chipotle's patio was the first time just the 3 of us ate out together - yay us!

The boys enjoyed watching the water, but were too chicken to get wet, though I'm sure that will change soon enough. Instead they explored the shade by Victoria's Secret...or maybe they were looking for supermodels? It should be noted that Alex is moving quick now...I can't wait until Tony starts moving just as quickly in the opposite direction and my real fun begins.

Alex has decided this week that he likes bananas, blueberries, peas and carrots after all. Tony has decided that he pretty much just likes carbs and cheese. It's like they switched eating habits. Though Tony still refuses to eat anything he can't feed himself. Guess they're just trying to keep me on my toes.

15 Month Stats

Alex:
28.5 lbs
31"
8 teeth

Tony:
25 lbs
30.5"
Still just 8 teeth...and really, the molars just need to break through already so the drool and pain and suffering can stop

12 Month Stats

Alex & Tony's First Kings Game

It was also Bailey(the mascot)'s birthday and Shades' first hockey game. Alex and Tony ate or napped through the entire game. The rest of us ate (some more than others). The Kings lost to the Canucks, but there is an awesome shot of one of the Sedin twins making a pouty face that will likely haunt him the rest of his career.

Dinner at Wood Ranch

My mom locked my aunt's purse in her trunk so she couldn't pay. Striker won the battle of who paid the check by giving our server his card with his drink order (yes, we have to do this before we order our meals now). The Canadian (specifically referring to my cousin's husband) had the best "zing" as a result. Shades/Shrek heard "The Acapulco Story". Alex fell asleep on the table while eating mac n cheese. Tony broke a plate on the floor. Our server was terrible. The busboy/sweeper guy was awesome. The food was tasty!

30 is Awesome!

My aunt is 20 years older than me (technically 19.5) and I distinctly remember when I was 10 and she turned 30 and thinking "wow, 30 is OLD". And now here I am at 30 and it's totally NOT old...but 50? Wow, that's OLD! ;)

No main event planned for my birthday, but I've somehow managed to stretch the celebrating out over 2 weeks or so. 

Today: Disneyland with my mom and Alex and Tony, dinner with Will tonight. 

My crazy Canadian relatives are in town this weekend with lots of eating and shopping on the agenda with a Kings vs Canucks game to attend on Saturday afternoon...Go Kings Go!

Next weekend Lil Dahl and Shades/Shrek are taking me to a shooting range and then we're having dinner with all of the local family. 

I've successfully managed to not cook dinner all week and eat out at Mimi's Cafe, The Cheesecake Factory and Panda Express ;)

There will be consignment sale shopping and more eating thrown in as I see friends over the next few weeks.

I will also be more likely to remember this birthday than last year's...I actually had to read the post because it was all a sleep deprived blur.
