Going Riding!!!

We went to our friends house at the river and went riding up in the hills! Amanda loves to ride her quad and she had a blast. Our friends Melanie and Rick got a new toy and got to try it out! It was so much fun. Amanda is a little dare devil and it is stressful watching her go up and down the big hills but she does a great job.

Dinner and Friends

We went to dinner with some of our friends and had the greatest time. We went to dinner first at TAPS Brewery and then to this piano bar called "At My Place". It is a dueling piano bar and they sing songs that you request and bring you up and sing to you.

Suzanne's 40th B-Day Party

We went to my friend Suzanne's 40th Birthday party. We had to dress up like the 1940's which was a little challenging trying to find something to wear. But we did our best. Everyone looked great and we had a great time.

Disneyland

Amanda and I went to Disneyland together. We had a mommy and daughter day! We had so much fun. Amanda is still a little scared of roller coasters but we went on the one in toon town and she loved it. So we are hoping she will go on Space Mountain next time we go!

Happy New Year!!!

We just hung out in our neighborhood this year for New Years and had a great time with our friends and neighbors. 2008 was a good year but I am looking forward to 2009 being even better. Happy New Year.

Merry Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! Amanda got spoiled as usual and had fun opening her presents. She got her American Girl Doll that she asked Santa for so she was very excited. Her friend Carissa got one also so they have fun playing together. I love the holidays but they are a lot of work.

Amanda turns 10 Years old

We went to Disneyland to celebrate Amanda's 10th Birthday. I can't believe she is growing up so fast. We went with all of our friends and had the best time. She told me that this is her first decade. That makes her sound older and I took it a little hard. They had such a great time at Disneyland.
