Random things from the past couple of days.



Nothing says California like sunshine and Palm trees!



The Peace Garden at the museum. It was o' so very Magritte.



James being silly and disrupting the shot.



The moon looked much bigger in person. This is across the street from our house.



This is our street. Complete with Bike Lane!


Hello Saratoga! Hello Wine!



Best donut. Theres a donut cafe about 2 minutes walking distance from here. Parker and I went to check it out....goooooooood!



We also got chocolates for her from See's Candies. Free samples!


This is the worst food we've eaten so far. It was at an "Italian" place. I had to send mine back. Parker wasn't about to puke, but it looked like it. I think the photo sums up our experience.

King Tut on a rainy California day.

Parker and I decided to do some exploring today while James had a very long day at work! We ate breakfast at a great place in downtown Campbell called "Stacks". While we were eating it started pouring down rain. More than I have seen it rain thus far! We hurried to the car and headed to the Rosicrucian Egyptian Museum here in San Jose. It was great, although today was field trip day and there were about 160 little private school kids running around! We had a great time and Parker learned a lot about Egypt and the wonders of mummification! Ok, well she mostly said "ew" to everything. The museum is about 15 minutes from our house. Now to talk her into going to the haunted Winchester House! Here's some pics from the day...
(btw, it stopped raining when we got done and the sun came out for about an hour)



Parker after the sun finally came out! Notice the Yale shirt...gotta get a Stanford one!


Pretty big Museum!


This is for my sister Deilia who LOVES owls!


Hey mom, there's a dead guy in there.

King Tut...Fancy

Killer Stove!

So I started to cook our first real meal in our new house the other night and the stove tried to kill me. I had 3 pots going and all of a sudden there was a very loud pop and a ball of blue flame. I almost pee'd myself. The landlord is sending an electrician. phew. Here is the scene off the crime...complete with burn mark on the wall. I shall never cook again....it can kill you!!!! ha ha ha.

Pics of the house

Parkers very pink bathroom
Dining room
Our fireplace. It needs some do dads.

We're still in the middle of unpacking mounds of boxes, but I decided to go ahead and post a few pics of the new place.

California!

I decided to start this blog for family and friends who do not have facebook. This way everyone can see what's going on in our new life in Saratoga, California. My very crafty sister has one and I like to keep up with the kids on her blog. I'll post pics and what we do as often as possible.
