A year ago today....

We were in Spain. Wish I was there now! Maybe next year.

Love.....

everything here!!!

P90x

So the world will know and hold me accountable...

I stated this today.

Everyday is about an hour+ but today I only lasted 25 minutes then went to Baskin Robbins to get ice cream. Danny started two weeks ago and threw up the first couple of times he did it (he lasted the whole hour+). I decided I didn't want to make myself sick. Hopefully in 9o days I will look less like this...

And more like this...

Memorial Day and etc..

For Memorial Day weekend we went to Vegas. Unfortunately I have no pictures to prove it. It was really fun seeing the family, eating good food, playing liars' dice, and Danny loved seeing Terminator with the boys. I'm glad we went!

We got back Sunday night and on Monday my family came into town. We still had to work all week long but they were able to do some fun things during the day and meet up with us at night. Yesterday we all went to Muir Woods before they left. It was so pretty!

Don't mind my crazy hair. It was really windy!

So pretty! Can you find Danny?

So the whole time we were at Muir Woods my sister kept "asking" for a toy. I said to her, "Do you see any toy stores around here? Where do you think you are going to get a doll? Dolls don't live in the woods. That would be freaky." Well I must have annoyed her...because now they do.

R.I.P Bobby

Bobby moments before his "escape"

She threw him far away in a stream and we could not retrieve him. The theme song to Toy Story played threw my mind ("You've Got a Friend in Me") and I almost cried. I hope Bobby finds happiness in his new forest surroundings. At least its pretty right?

*It should be noted Bobby is Becca's favorite doll...at least we have another at home. I hope you're happy Becca.

After Muir Woods we had a BBQ with some of our friends. We recently discover this park in Palo Alto that is only open to Palo Alto residents and it is awesome. I couldn't believe how beautiful it was and how peaceful. There were deer everywhere. It was really cool.

Can you see the deer?

On another note...sorry this is so long...look at our garden!! Our plants are huge! We are excited to eat the fruits of our labor soon!

Thanks to everyone for the fun times! We love seeing our families!

Sick

The weekend before Memorial Day weekend I was really sick. Danny said "Every time you breathe a piece of me dies." Then he quarantined me to my room. At first I was little upset but he took good care of me and I got lots of needed rest. He brought me all my meals and made sure I had a cold rag on my forehead at all times (our apartment was 90 degrees all weekend). I'm glad I have Danny to take care of me!

Gourmet meat and cheese plate for lunch. Yummy

Our thermostat...ick!

Highlight of the weekend was finding North and South (a BBC miniseries similar to Pride and Prejudice) online free to watch! I just finished reading the book for book club so I was really excited. Both were so good! I recommend both the book and the miniseries.

A balcony garden

Danny loves fresh veggies and has been wanting to do a garden for a couple of years. When our ward sent out a memo that they wanted everyone in the ward to have a garden we didn't have an excuse anymore. Plus our balcony is huge and we have been wanting to make it cute.

Orchard Supply had a sale Saturday on 4 inch veggie plants (buy one get one free) so we got lots of good stuff (tomatoes, squash, watermelon, cantaloupe, peppers, basil, chives, and rosemary)! I just hope we can keep them alive. Danny picked out the plants and is in charge of taking care of them. I am in charge of the garden bling. I am so excited about my solar lights. I think they will make our balcony really fun! I was also really excited to re-discover these cute planter signs I bought awhile ago for a craft project that I never used. I can't wait to get some chairs and a table and to eat fresh veggies!

Best.Picture.Ever

The Bunny Hop

Danny was really excited about his surprise easter egg hunt.

Not gonna lie. When Danny picked up the basket and started hopping around trying to find the easter eggs I thought ,"Wow this is interesting." Later I learned it is Maxfield Family tradition to hop while looking for easter eggs. Good to know. He has obviously had lots of practice. I mean...look at that form! The most perfect bunny hop I've ever seen!

Happy Easter!
