California 2012: Corey's Birthday Dinner

September 24th was Corey's 33rd birthday so Grandpa took us out to dinner.  Bless his soul, that man loves Red Lobster and always takes us there for a nice dinner.  Non of us are really big fans of Red Lobster but who agrues with their 90+ year old grandfather when he wants to take you out to dinner?

My camera battery was dying so the flash would only work at certain times.  I hate this picture didn't turn out.

I had to get a picture with Christian's Dad, Grandpa and my sweet Harrison since this trip was their first time meeting him.

After dinner we headed back to the house.  Dave & Rosa stop and bought Corey a birthday cake.  It was an icecream cake which happens to be my favorite!  I may have ate several pieces over the next few days. :)

California 2012: San Diego Zoo

I loved going to the zoo last year and couldn't wait to go again this year.  Lincoln has really gotten into animals and the sounds they make here lately.  Harrison loves everything so I knew he would enjoy it.

I had to get them matching zoo keeper outfits. Lincoln's actually still fit him from last year so I just had to buy Harrison one.

Harrison passed out pretty much as soon as we walked in the park.

Lincoln liked the lion cub

Flamingos

Thatcher & Corey

I tried to get Thatcher to sit by the window but he was scared unless Whit sat with him.

Lincoln and the Monks (that is what he calls Monkeys)

Someone finally decided to wake up!

Lincoln just grabbed Thatcher's hand and started walking.

I took lots of animal pictures but I don't feel like editing all of them and uploading them.

California 2012: Chargers vs. Falcons

When Christian and I decided to get Falcons season tickets in 2009 we also decided to try to go to an away game every year.  This actually wasn't decided until the end of the 2009 season because I didn't really think I would like going to the games.  Turns out that I love it!  Anyways, we haven't made it to one every year but year before last we went to the Browns vs. Falcons game in 2010.  We didn't make it to an away game last year since we had a newborn.  We did good to make it the the home games.  Originally the Chargers were suppose to be coming to the Dome but somehow the NFL switched it around.  We were dying to go back to California so we just planned it around the football game.  Christian's California family are big Chargers fans so that made it perfect.  As soon as the NFL released the schedule we made plans for sunny San Diego.  I am getting pretty spoiled to having a dome and I think every should have one.

Whit, Rosa & I

Funny Story...The girl in the middle is named Alaney and I kept wanting to call her Alana because I thought she looked like the girl from Smallville.  The girl on the right hand side is Katie.  I swear when Rosa introduced me to her she said her name was Haiti.  I thought that was kind of an odd name but hello my name is Matisha so who am I to judge.  I called her Haiti for most of the day until someone else finally corrected me.  I felt awful!

Clent, Ted (David's Dad) and James

James is Christian's cousin that lives in Las Vegas.  He made a special trip to California just to meet us.  He hasn't been to California is several years.

Katie (not Haiti)

Ready to head to the game!

If you have ever seen the movie Anchorman you understand.

My love

Ted & James

Whitney's smile cracks me up!  I'm not sure why she was chessin' so big.

Thankfully the Falcons pulled off a win!  The final score was 27-3 Falcons.
