We started off our trip, on Saturday, by visiting our favorite Mexican restaurant, El Charro. My Mom was headed off to a hockey game and so the kids and I went to my Brother house to hang out. We stayed there until the hockey game was finished because it is a little weird being at my Mom's house alone. That is a whole different blog entry!
Then on Sunday we, of course, went to church with my Mom. I was really worried that my son would be horrible in Primary but it sounds like it worked out okay, unless Amy is just trying to be nice. =) Then the entire family came to my Mom's house for lunch. We BBQed hamburgers. They were so yummy! I haven't had BBQed hamburgers at my Mom's house since before my Dad died. It brought back a lot of memories.
Then on Monday I read in the morning and then went to my Brothers house for dinner and family home evening. The ghetto egg rolls that Lori made were delicious.
Tuesday was when I finished reading Breaking Dawn in the morning. Then we went to the park with the kids. They were getting stir crazy in the house. It was really good for them to get out. Then at 10pm, Brittany and I went to the $1 theatre to see The Uninvited. Nothing better than a scary movie with Brittany. First off, the $1 theatre is ghetto. It is disgusting but what do you expect for a $1, right? We didn't really have a choice because we waited so long to see this movie together that it was ONLY playing there. It was great times. Wasn't as scary as I thought. My whole plan to have Brittany pick me up so that she could walk me to the door when we got back to my Mom's house didn't really happen since we didn't leave scared. Thanks Brittany for being there for me anyway! =)
On Wednesday my Mom and I went and checked out a discount store called, Manny's. It was awesome. I got some great deals for myself and also for Heather! I love sharing the wealth. Then I went to the Condor's Hockey game. They won of course, because I was there! =) It was a great game.
On Thursday, we went shopping with Lori. She told my kids that she'd take them to Target to get toys that they had been wanting. Isabella wanted the Tattoo Barbie but changed her mind at the last minute and got the Totally Nails Barbie. Chase is a typical guy. He knew what he wanted. He went to the man isle and picked up his Dinosaur Hot Wheels Trick Tracks and was finished and it took Isabella another 15 minutes to decide on what she wanted. Can't make the wrong decision!!! Then we went to my best friend, Michelle's house. We got there kinda late and ended up staying until about 11. It was so great to see her. I always hate to leave because we just have a great time together. Like she said, "We will always be best friends forever!" So TRUE! After that Brittany came over to my Mom's since it was my last night. We had the privilege of watching Obama together on Jay Leno. The highlight of my time with Brittany. Well.....her company! She stayed until about 1:00am. It was great laughing with her. Fun times!
Today, I packed up and left and made a stop in Fresno to visit with Doug and Heather. It was great to hang out and take pictures of everyone including the adorable Parker. He is such a sweet heart! I love them all and I am glad that we got to stop and hang out for a few hours. It is always bombdiggity with Heather!
So as you can tell I had a wonderful time in Bakersfield. I just love being in Bakersfield with everyone but it was really great to get back home and see Danny. We all missed him so much.

Hearing about Bakersfield cracks me up! That dollar theater IS ghetto! So funny! My parents have season tickets to the Condors and are absolutely obsessed! Glad you had a good time!
It was great to see you while you were here and Chase really was good in Primary. I checked out your portraits blog and you are a very talented photographer. It is no wonder you are always booked. Next time you come in town I would love to hire you.
We loved seeing you guys too!!!
Wow, Misty. I guess I know where I stand now... you can't even spell my name!!! Ouch.
