I unfortunately don't have a lot of photos to download. I have had my camera up on the shelf and haven't used it much even though we have had some adventures.
First was Coopers Birthday his REAL birthday. We treated him to a hockey game, at one point he said "I didn't ask for this, I just wanted a Darth Maul mask and light saber." Had I only known?
We took a quick trip on Delta down to PHX and stayed at a Marriott, my first choice in hotels always, but they are usually to pricey and so we end up somewhere else. But the price was right.
We ended up buying me and Alivia nose bleed seats for the Hockey game, Alivia did not want to go in true girl fashion she said "Mom why can't we go get our nails done or something?" That's my girl!!
Ben and Cooper had AMAZING seats, 4th row on the Canucks attack side, you should have seen Ben's face and how much it lite up when he saw where they were sitting. I didn't bring my camera, but we got lots of cell phone pics and video that I will upload later.
We came home Wednesday had cake for Coopers birthday. Thursday morning, Ben and I dropped the kids off at school and dropped Kessler off at Grandma's we flew to LA to see the Conan O'Brien show. It was more waiting than anything! we showed up at 1:30 like they said, checked in and then they said be back at 3:00.....great you can't really go anywhere in LA in an hour and half and do anything fun, so we just hung out. 3:00 rolled around and they lined us up and had us walk over to the Warner Brothers Studios, that was probably the coolest part is seeing the studios. Then they had a wait in a roller coaster line gated area for another 45 minutes and then walked us over to his studio and waited another 30 minutes for the show to start. All said and done it was a fun experience but will most likely never do it again. Sorry Coco! after the show we jetted for the LAX airport and flew to Las Vegas for the night, the hotels were cheaper 27$ to be exact and the flights were easier.
I have decided I don't like flying stand by with Ben, I could sit in the airport for hours. I don't want to but I could, he gets stressed and grouchy! The one thing about me, is I cannot be late I get so stressed out and grouchy! we were trying to get to the airport to catch a 7pm flight to Vegas, if we missed it we would have to wait for the 9pm. We were going through security with 15 minutes until the flight left. LUCKILY we cruised through security and our gate was the first one. They barely let us on. SO CRAZY!!
Poor Cooper, he doesn't totally understand his birthday, I even wrote it down for him with a diagram trying to explain it. Well we gave him a hat that said today is my real Birthday. So everyone kept wishing him a happy birthday and asking him if he was two. The final straw the Pilot on the airplane saw him walk in and saw it was his birthday and invited him into the flight deck. Cooper came back and sat down in a huff, I said what's wrong. He said I AM NOT TWO!! I cracked up. Poor kid!
We got a piano, the piano I learned on as a kid. My sister has been the keeper of this and hasn't necessarily taken very good care of it. So we begged to have it moved to our house. I have been brushing up on some of the hymns and my mom recently found most of the books I learned on even the dates I passed the songs off. Like February 6, 1986!! Crazy!
