Just One of Those Amazing Days!

Well this day actually started with Jane (the little girl I babysit) getting baptized! It was such a fun thing to see! I forgot to get a picture of Jane in her cute dress!
Then later that afternoon we went to a French Circus, Cirque Eloize. It was like a mini Cirque Du Soliel!
We got student tickets and they were super cheap! It was so incredible! Its truly remarkable what some people are capable of making their bodies do!
Then to make the day even more amazing we spent some quality at the Apple Store! You can't beat that!
Then on our way home we happened upon our own little show of Urban Mountain Biking!
Drew and I have been enthralled with this since our first Banff Film Festival!
It's even better in person!
The it was off to Tulie Bakery! (thanks Katie for the introduction!)
For an incredible fruit tart and cupcake! They were even better then they look!
Then it was off to watch these two/too cute girls! It was the best day, with the BEST company!

Seriously??? This Has Got to be a Joke!!!

Meet my friends John and Darren! I have been spending a lot of quality time with these two!
It all started with my sweet little Kia Sephia!  One day while I was at the gym someone maliciously smashed her window, that next week her tire blew.  When we took it in our front axle was completely out, so that needed to be replaced.  
Two months later the timing belt on the Jetta blew, ruining all six pistons in the car.  Requiring an entire new engine!  
Before that happened we started driving the Pathfinder, as we were buying a Christmas Tree I rolled the window down to tell Drew something, and that's how it stayed. A week later Drew was at the bank and rolled the other window down, and you guessed it... it stuck! We went and got the windows fixed.  After we got the windows fixed later that week the Pathfinder didn't start... 
In the mean time the Kia decided to be all sassy and whenever we would turn her on the Hazard Lights would flash, and the horn would honk and wouldn't turn off for several minutes.  We would drive for blocks looking like we had just stolen a car!
As I was going to pick up the Jetta from being fixed I was driving the Kia to Horner's and the shifter that changes the gears just fell off! Luckily I was stuck in second so I just made my way to Horner's to swap cars.
Luckily we were fortunate enough to have amazing friends who let us borrow their truck!  So we took the Pathfinder in after we got the Kia back.
I got a call to pick up the Pathfinder because they had fixed the gages that register if the car can start or not (I don't know what their are called, but believe me I'm about one car fatality away from having my mechanics license... I have already forgotten more than I have ever wanted to know about cars!)  So I was happy as a clam knowing we had fixed our cars and would finally have a break from car trouble.... 
Woah... Not so fast, is what the Universe was telling me!  I drove the Pathfinder home from the shop ran in to get my purse, ran outside turned the key.... and..... SMOKE!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Are you serious!!?? Horner's made a house call (apparently their is a fix 7 car problems and with the 8th you get a home visit), and saw that the started had fried itself!
And that is how I have been spending my free time.... And savings.... Just in case you wanted to know!
And onto the next....
My sweet sweet Kia has been through a lot! And besides the little hiccups of having a blaring horn and lights she is a trusty stead.   And this is how Drew repays her!

Yes dumping a gallon of paint on the floor in the back seat!
Thanks Honey!
Why would the completely empty trunk not have been the best place for paint?  One of those mysteries we will never know!  Anyway you might be thinking, "oh no big deal just put the floor mat over it."  Well we can't because of the picture below!

My Handy husband had a little accident with Redd paint a few months ago!!!
AHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
I give up....

Chuck-e-Cheese!

Who doesn't have the best childhood memories at Chuck-e-Cheese?! I know I do, and one of them includes my friend who is not my cousin with her other cousin... Did you follow? ha ha
Anyway I get to relive those same fantastic memories now!

Josh and Gracie just making some memories!! It is so funny to see the intensity in little kids trying to earn as many tickets as the machines will spew out!

Josh has gotten this system down... And I have figured out a little bit of the Chuck-e-Cheese magic myself... You can go up and ask for coupons... So instead of paying almost $50 for 100 tokens, you can ask for the $15 coupon, you buy 40 tokens and get 60 free.... Total score!

Josh's tickets.... The kid wastes no time in just getting to it!

Picking out the treasures! What a great place!
