Ok so funny story!! I have been planning to go to Earth Day in Balboa Park which is this HUGE festival with live music and tons of booths. I was planning this for a couple of weeks and for some reason I had it in my head that it was on Saturday. So we get in the car and we drive to Balboa Park which really is just about a mile away from the house but I wanted to park as close to the park as possible. So we are getting close and I see a parking space on the side of the road and I tell Luke we better just park here it is close enough. I mean I thought we were "lucky" to be parking where we did. So we start our journey down to the park and see so many open spaces along the way. Luke kept saying "see we could have parked closer." I thought wow that is pretty amazing that there is all these spaces open on what usually is a REALLY busy day! We get all the way in to the park after stopping to ride the train with Julia and our friend Dave and see all the booths but not many people around. Still not getting clued in we finally get to a kettle corn booth guy and ask him. He says "oh that's tomorrow" WHAT!! Are you kidding me? How could I have been mistaken on the day completely and still not get it until we were halfway through the park? Everyone had a good laugh with that one. I don't think I will ever live that one down.

Needless to say we went back the following day and there were TONS of people and NO parking. We ended up parking down from our house then hiking the canyon and walking to the park. It was a great day....but HOT...89 degrees! Poor Julia was just as red and sweaty as anything. I thought I was prepared with all the cold water and snacks that I brought but it was just too hot. We took a cab the rest of the way to the car. Which is another funny story. This is the only cabbie we saw and the guy had the heater on full blast and when our friend Lance asked him to turn it off he said "it would overheat" wouldn't you know the only cab and we have to sit in a boiling car on a boiling day. After we got home we had a nice BBQ. It was so good! It really was a great day with out little family and some really good friends!! Julia was down and out at 7:30 and me a 8. Luke couldn't believe I was going down that early but I was worn out! It was fun though!!

Monday was our 6 year Anniversary! We had a babysitter and got to go out all by ourselves for an awesome Sushi dinner at our favorite restaurant in PB. It was SO nice to be out together just the two of us! I had no hands to wash but my own and no one to keep out of trouble. After dinner we went for a walk along the water then stopped and got some frozen yogurt on the way back to the car. We really need to get out together more and that just confirmed it! =) Julia had a great time with the babysitter, she gave us the biggest hugs when we got home. It was so cute! It is amazing what a couple of hours will do. Though I had a feeling that she was going to still be awake when we got back. She always seems to work that angle. Oh well, it was only 9. What a great night!!

Easter at the dome
We had a great time with Luke's Family up in the Desert for Easter. Julia had a great time spending time with her Cousins. Coloring the eggs took on a whole other meaning when we decided to let the kids dip there hands in to the rest of the dye. Needless to say they looked like they had Shrek hands. 

I tried everything to get the color off! Thankfully the bubble bath that night took care of it!
Easter day was beautiful!! The day before it was really cold. Were talking Winter jacket cold, with the wind and all. So it was so nice to be able to hunt and not freeze. Dinner was SO tasty, being preggo, you know that is important! =)

After dinner we got to go up in the new plane. It was our first time in that plane and Julia LOVED it. She has been talking about "Papa's Mooney" for the last week! She loved it!

What we have been up to....
It has been a while since I posted anything so I just wanted to write a bit. Last weekend we went to the San Diego Indie Fest that was happening just up the street from our house. It was fun! Julia loved hearing the live music! She is for sure Daddy's girl. =)

Julia loves to blow her bubbles...
I was dared to go up to this booth and take advantage of the free condom giveaway! My comment to the people behind the desk was "we don't want this happening again, anytime soon anyways" They got a good laugh and so did we! =)
Luke's Mom also came in to town for the day so we took her to Mission Beach to get some sea shells. 
Having fun with Nana and Uncle Adam...
