Crazy Rain in The OC...

Here is what work was like for me today... tornados and flooding galore :)

I thought we paid so much money to live here so we did not have to deal with these types of weather conditions :)

Anita and Sarah checking out the Santa Ana River that was going to flood our office if the rain did not stop when it did... hopefully the Thursday storm does not last too long :(
The brave two-some in their rain gear :)

Ps... Scroll down for another blog post... yes 2 in one night :)

GLEE!!!

I am sure you have all heard of the new show Glee in Fox. If you have not seen it, you are missing out and you should go catch up online now :) Sadly, it does not come back on till April 13th (after American Idol ends)... so what have I been doing to pass the time... listening to the sounds track of all the songs from the episodes that have aired so far. I LOVE it!!!

I am so one of those people who get a new CD and then listen to it on repeat for a pretty long time. Julie let me borrow this CD about 10 days ago and I have listened to it at work nonstop. Hey, don't judge, it makes pulling and packing orders in the freezing warehouse so much more happy :) So, that is all I have to say right now... I love Glee :)


This was the twin car ride to SCV this weekend... Glee-ing all the way there :)

Here are some snipits for you of why I love Glee so much!

David is officially OLD... I mean... 30!

David's 30th was one to remember! We do 30 BIG in this family... and David's celebration was no exception! The Wilson Casino was in FULL effect on Jan 2 2010 and we gamed hard! Here are some highlights!

These 2 stayed at the craps table all night... Josh and Lolly flew in from Indy for a birthday surprise for David. They surprised him at dinner with us in Laguna Beach on New Year's Eve and he was 100% surprised! So fun for him since he loves surprises!
There were 3 black jack tables... 1 craps table, 1 roulette table and 1 poker table.

The craps table was for sure the loud table. It was so fun to watch those dice go and everyone yell and scream. I was in my element... people were actaully louder than me! Crazy, I know!

They were winning big... and ummm... Mariah, you are ripped!

Crazy craps players :) Quatro's 1st craps experience :P

Anita was rolling the dice like a pro.

Poker fun... Kyle flopped 3 aces to give him 4 of a kind and took home the poker glory.

Lolly was the dice queen... she rolled for 1 hour and 7 minutes... there was only 3 hours of play, that is over 1/3 of the time! Crazy for someone who is not a fan of Vegas. She was calling her rolls, just like she does when we play Catan! So awesome!

Darrin made David this amazing Rum cake, but there was soooo much rum in it, we were afraid to light it with the bday candles for fear it would blow up :) So he got his candles in 2 tiny brownie bites.

Uncle Martin brought David his "nite nite" drink... this stuff is toxic... but he loves it :)

Mike and Kelsey came dresses as Vegas tourists... it was awesome!

Here are the winners of the night with the bday boy... Lolly 1st place, Kyle 2nd place and the Twin came in third :) I thought it was fun that the top three winners were represented by one person from my side of the fam, one from David's side and one friend.

Fun times were had by all! Now all that is left to say is... Kirk and David, you have approximately 1 year, 4 months to plan the Twin's 30th Birthday!!!! XOXO

Wow... over two months to cover... how about I do it in pictures :)

Ok... here goes...
Here is Grandma CeCe and Kami on Christmas Eve.

Three of the best guys in the family :)

Brothers... feelin' the love

Kami and Sass... double trouble for sure! God Bless Sheri and Michele when these 2 hit the teen years.

We went to Arizona for Kenzie's 10th Birthday. It was so much fun.

This is Mason showing us how amazing he is on the drums :)

Jay, holding his not so little girl any more

She is such a super star

The Johnson's invited the Viejo Village to all pile in a flat bed truck and go around Nellie Gail to look at Christmas lights... it was a lot of fun.

Ben and his dude, David

All bundled up

Oh the excitement in the eyes of a little one

Then there was the Anita G Christmas party. We went up to LA and stayed at the SLS Hotel and ate at Bazaar. It was tons of fun!

The Anita G Gang! We are very professional.

There were some celebrities at the table next to us, so Kelsey got out her phone and we were IMDB-ing them :)

These were foie gras lollipops wrapped in cotton candy... David and Jerry were hooked!

This was Julie's crab soup... it was a tapas place, so we were able to try a lot of things.

2 of the men in my everyday life :)

Twinners

Kirk was thrilled to be taking a bunch of pictures!

Best Bosses on earth

Before all that, was my 1st attempt at Thanksgiving by myself. Thank the Lord for David... he was a huge help lifting the 23 pound turkey for me :) Which turned out AMAZING!

This was the Wilson side of the family that was left for the after hours hang time.

Lovely ladies

Uncle Martin insists on putting chocolate ice cream on any dessert... including pumpkin pie.

Our 1st Turkey was a hit!!! Brown butter and Sage... mmmmmm....

My home made vases/centerpieces :)

These were the name tags/place setting boxes... filled with treats, heart and pumpkin shaped brownies :)

A few weeks before Turkey Day, my mom and I went up to Northern Cali to visit the Prescott's and see their new house. It was super fun and their place is amazing.

I did a family photo shoot for them on their property.

The Prescott Family


They have a random mail box in the back yard among the acres of land, and they will put surprises for Kami to find from time to time. She said she thought Santa Clause came and brought it :)

She has so much fun with all the free space and fun bridges and paths

She was welcoming us to her new home

Kami on her tree swing!

I cannot get enough of her!

She looks good in Orange!

That is all I got... stayed tuned for David's 30th Bday pictures! I promise to put them up tomorrow night. The event was so awesome, it deserves its own post!
