elephants and giraffes and zebras...oh my!
I guess it was sometime at the end of April or beginning of May (can't remember), I went with my sis Tiffany, to the Fresno Chaffee Zoo for the first time since I swear kindergarten...it might be sometime in elementary school but can't remember what grade I last went to the zoo. Anyway...it was fun to see all the animals. They have made it a pretty nice zoo (even though it could be better). Here are some pictures of the animals.

easter
So my last post was started on 9/16/11 but posted on 9/19/11. Hopefully I can get several posts done today. I guess up next was EASTER!!! oh how I love the milk chocolate Cadbury Mini Eggs. My Grami always has a dish full of them. If you are not careful, you just my eat the whole bag or the whole dish full of them. haha My mom to this day will put goodies in our Easter baskets that we have had since we (my siblings) were little. This year we had goggles, an eye mask to cover your eyes when sleeping and of course CANDY!!

so it's been awhile...
I seem to be on this kick of posting every couple of months...it's been almost 6 months since I posted last. I have started two other posts but have not gotten around to publishing them. Anyway..I will put everything in this post. Let me take you clear back to April. On April 5th, I went down to pick up my sister Talynn and drive to Hollywood to see Hanson perform on Jimmy Kimmel Live! 
It was so much fun. They performed on the outdoor stage, so they were able to perform 5 songs. I got a couple of pictures of them walking by the crowd. I took some more pictures during the performance but I'm just giving you a few to look at. I am so glad that Talynn came with me even though we were both tired and hungry. haha April 5th was also TOMS "One Day Without Shoes" I didn't really go without shoes the entire day...I drove without my shoes on. haha. I wore my "One Day Without Shoes" t-shirt that I received for my birthday. There was a lot that was going on on that day.

and the months go on...
I am going to go over the last couple of months, but first here are some random pics that I took. This first one is of our shopping cart at Wal-Mart. We went in for Jell-O, fruit punch mix and a few other things. I thought that the cart just looked so funny with what was in it.
I went to 7-11 to get a yummy pina-colada slurpee and on one of the isles there was the BIGGEST Rice Krispies Treats that I have ever seen. RANDOM.
We bought these good chips at COSTCO. They are sooooo yummy!!!!! They really are chips that taste GOOD!! You should go and get them now!!
So I am picking up where I left off. November was fun! Tiff and I went to Las Vegas for her friend Lindsay's wedding. I was such a beautiful day! Tiff and I stayed on the Las Vegas strip at Planet Hollywood Towers hotel. It was sooooo nice.
The plants on the temple grounds were fantastic!! They had lettuce!!!
This was our hotel room. HOLLYWOOD!!!!
The bed was so comfortable!!! Wish I had it at home.
Love this picture of Marilyn Monroe and James Dean!
We had a BLACK toilet!!!
View of the pool from our room!! AWESOME!!!
After the wedding and reception, Tiff and I walked down the strip. I had not been on the strip in so long. We were looking for the Coco-Cola store and Hard Rock and we could not find it. The stores were the other direction which was close to our hotel. We found them the next morning and went shopping and had fun!1 We tried Coco-Cola from Peru...it is sooo good!!
Love the water show at the Bellagio!!!
Thanksgiving at Grami's!!!! Just 10 of us so we all were able to be at the dining room table!!! Good Food!!
Talynn made an apple pie! it was good!
After Christmas we celebrated Grami's 95th Birthday (which is in January). More family members were able to attend since we had it in December. Talynn and I made the cake!! Talynn did most of the work :)
Before Christmas Jessica and I went to Disneyland with Talynn. She had 2 free 3 day park hopper passes. We had a BLAST!!!!
AWESOME roller-coaster!!
We met SANTA CLAUS!!! He was a one of the best Santa Clauses that I have seen!
We had lunch here on this main street in California Adventures!! As we were eating songs (music) from the Newsies came on!! I began to sing along. It was the BEST!!! love NEWSIES!!
I was most like Cinderella!!!

went on the Winnie the Pooh ride and we got STUCK IN POOH!! we were almost out of the ride (it is a short kiddie ride) and it stopped. the man in front of us with his kids said "We are stuck in Pooh!" It was sooo funny!!! We started laughing!!! it was great!
Us getting out of the Honey tubs.
Took at picture with JACK and SALLY!
SPACE MOUNTAIN!!! i am pretty sure that this is my FAVORITE ride!!!! Talynn told us to put our arms off the side, so we did and the force of the ride I couldn't move my arm and it covered my face. HAHA!!

We sat in front of the tram train, so fun!!!

We ended the night with a picture with MINNIE!!!!
The next day we went and ate at El Ranchito Mexican restaurant!!! GREAT Mexican food!!! You can see some of the beach from where we sat in the restaurant so we decided to walk down after we ate.
Went down to visit Talynn in February and to see HANSON on Jay Leno!!! as I was driving this truck was by me and I took a picture. Thought it was funny!!!
Talynn and I woke up at 4am to stand in line to get stand-by tickets for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. There were other Hanson fans there too. So we got our stand-by tickets at 8am and had til about 2pm to waste.. So we went to get breakfast... had a yummy bagel!! Went on a little adventure to the LA Zoo :) We decided to go to Hollywood and went to The GROVE!!
When we came out of the parking garage....There was Mario Lopez taping segments for EXTRA. We were in the audience for awhile, but our taping didn't make it on air. I could reach out and touch him!!! :)
We got the BEST seats in the show. We waited around until everyone with a ticket to be seated. With the stand-by tickets, you can only get in if there are seats. Talynn and I were #3 & #4 in the stand-by line. Every time they came out the count, we were just praying to get in. Well we FINALLY DID!!!! YAY!! When they were bringing us in the had to take tape off the the seats, so we were thinking that these seats must have been for some VIP that didn't show. We sat looking straight at JAY!!! it was fantastic!!! Before the show started, the guy that gets the audience excited for the show (he was an amazing guy, so fun!!!) was passing out little things and t-shirts. I had my hands up and the bag of goodies was down from where we were sitting....I caught his eye and he threw me a little penguin!!! It was so fun!! It just added to the amazing experience that we had. 
Of course, we had to sit through the whole show for HANSON to come on at the end. They played their new single "GIVE A LITTLE" LOVE this song!!! Just makes you want to dance!!!
We tweeted Hanson this picture after the show!! :)
Talynn and I went to Hollywood after the show and ate at Umami burger restaurant!! it was good!!!
