Disneyland Madness

Last week our family went to Disneyland. We got there right when California Adventure Opened. When we pulled in to park the machine was down so they let us park for FREE...SWEET Disneyland NEVER gives out anything for free. We then went on Toy Story Mania...Although Ryan and I rode it before it opened to the public on a special preview it was Adams first time. We had so much fun. Then we were walking in the park and a big character Woody came and Hijacked Ryan's stroller and started pushing him..and pushed him for like 3 minutes...it was really cool. We rode every ride that we wanted to..and now that Ryan is tall enough to ride Indiana Jones we went on that. Also...for those of you that know Ryans fear of petting zoo's we got Ryan to pet the animals at the Circle D ranch in the park. The animals there are calm and sweet....we asked if they drug them and they dont. There trick is they Never hand feed them....they dont live in the petting zoo area...and they eat two regular meals a day. Thank goodness....because the LA County Fair Goats are mean...jump all over you...and try to eat your shirt. Now that are passes are not blacked out we have many fun days ahead of us!!

Field Trippin'

Adam is the brave parent out of the two of us. I am not a huge lover of the chaperoning of field trips. Perhaps its because I like to do my own thing and I don't like having to follow somebody preplanned schedule...and also because I get nervous watching other peoples kids because I worry about something happening. Luckily Adam took the day off and accompanied Ryan to the Discovery Science Center In Orange. They had a great time...and they gave Adam two other little girls to watch that were very clingy to him. Both Adam and Ryan had a great day and had a nice time to bond. Adam works so much that they don't always get to be just the guys.

Disneyland With Nana

After meeting Baby Asher last Thursday morning me my mom and Ryan enjoyed a quick trip to Disneyland. While there we went and checked out that new In ovations Dream House...it was amazing and had really sweet technology. My favorite part was the kitchen. We rode a few rides...and then pooped out early in the evening and went home. It was a nice day with Nana.

Danny's Birthday Party!!!

We celebrated Danny's 30th Birthday down at Balboa on Friday night. We got down there later in the evening but Ryan was determind to get in the water. We had fun watching him get wet....then Ryan played on this really cool play equipment they had on the sand...and then we enjoyed smores...good company....and the finest evening that Southern California has to offer.

Asher Scott Broberg

Yesterday morning at 7:49 Heidi and Ned had their new baby Asher. My mom and I arrived right after he was born. We saw Ned (the proud daddy) with the nurse standing over him just in awe. My mom and I watched him for almost an hour. He is VERY cute and he has the cutest head and face. We went home and then returned to the hospital that evening to go and actually hold Asher. It was so sweet to hold so a new sweet pure life. Asher also spit up on my mom. We are so excited that he is finally here, healthy, and cute. Congrats Heidi, Ned, and Ella.

What is on my mind at 2:30 AM

So here I am sitting at work watching the Olympics and thoughts start racing through my head. Like this one:
I have been in actual competition with TWO Olympic athletes. Yes you read that right. In no way was a saying I held my own...but never the less competed. WHO you ask? Well thanks to Gary Stefan and him letting me play in summer league even as a youngster I played a few short minutes in a summer basketball game against Diana Taurasi she plays for the WNBA as well as for the USA Olympic basketball team. The other Olympic athlete I went head to head with.....or more like trailed VERY far behind was Allyson Felix...she is an Olympic Sprinter....if any of you know me I am not fast...not very coordinated...and would run anything in track the coach asked me to....thus I ran a sprint race....obviously came in last....but they needed a lane filler and it was me...and now because of that I have an IOTA of bragging rights.

My next quick topic I would like to present is this women EXHIBIT A...note the women on the far left...or should I say her lips. Yes they always look like that. It makes me wonder....how much lipstick do you think she uses...it it that color stay stuff...and how much of it does she go through...I mean really they should have their own jersey maybe even their own area code....I don't know her name but I am entertained. I bet the Chinese at the Olympics games are intrigued

Keeping with my Olympic obsession is Michael Phelps...wow is he amazing...but in my humble opinion I think he is very cute. It is amazing because he is like a gigantic fish...we were having the discussion today on where his dad is (because you always see Mom in the stands) so I googled it...one of the responses was "well his dad is a fish and that's why you never see him" clever...but really his parents had a divorce and his dad is estranged. Also fun fact he stated swimming when he was 7 years old and was afraid to even put his face in the water.


Okay moving right along and off the Olympics....Harry Houdini is my next chosen obsession....not magic...but his life and what he did..and the legacy of magic and performance...bravo to you Harry!

In Closing and my last comment....Brett Farve...you suck...and I hope you throw bad passes....and when they are not bad I hope they get intercepted...I hope you get pounded...and feel the world glaring at you...opposed to cheering for you. I am a scorned Green Bay Fan and it hurts....5 moths ago you were on top of the world we all loved you...you cried when you retired...well you couldn't leave good enough alone...I will tune in...and hope you do horrible! (Oh yeah my husband wont be buying Madden 09 just cause you are on the cover)

Swimming Lessons

Ryan has taken private swim lessons with Hillary Campbell an amazing girl in our ward. She worked her magic and Ryan is now a swimming diving pool crazy 4 year old. He can dive in the pool...and he can collect rings off the bottom of the pool. The coolest part of swim lessons according to Ryan is when Hillary let him surf. She had a huge surfboard she would let ryan stand on and she would push him. Hillary thank you for an amazing summer..and for helping Ryan learn to swim!
