THINK BLUE!

Photobucket

Friday night we went to a Dodger game with my dad & Sandy-- they were playing the Angels in game 1 of a 3 game series. It was a fun game to watch, but also frustrating... we left so many men on base and we lost! Oh well... it was fireworks night so we stayed to watch them and had a fun night overall!
(I'm trying to teach myself photoshop as I get more into photography, so I had some fun with these pictures!)

we've arrived

with my favorite men - in true Dodger blue!

Dodgertown!

normally when you're at a Dodger game, you eat stadium food - Sandy went an alternate route.
I'm all for veggies...
Photobucket
but broccoli is no substitute for classic Dodger food!

Photobucket
good times :)

Photobucket
what's a Dodger game without peanuts?
Photobucket
my dad really enjoyed them...

Andre Ethier... the hottest Dodger ;)

aw, there was a proposal during the "kiss cam"! I teared up a little... hehe
Photobucket
go Doyers!
Photobucket
lost the game... but ready for fireworks!
Photobucket
we didn't make it onto the field... probably a good thing...
Photobucket
amazing fireworks!

unfortunately, though I was prepared to, I did not catch a fowl ball... big surprise ;(
(but still a fun night!)
Photobucket
always thinking blue!

our next game is a few weeks away... hopefully we'll get to see Manny play this season!

Palm Desert Extravaganza!

Photobucket

My best friend Jennie and her bf Scott invited us to Palm Desert a few weeks ago! Scott's family owns a vacation home there, so it was a pretty inexpensive trip! ;) (Aside from our rather expensive taste in food...) We had a great time and really needed the relaxation... we spent much of the weekend laying out by the (warm) pool.

dinner with the Dennys

Henny, my bf from way back when, her hubby Mike & son Tye moved to Dallas last year... boo :( (Luckily they're moving back home soon!) They're visiting for a couple of weeks and since this past weekend was Henny's birthday, her mom Ika (who is an amazing cook and owns the fabulous More Than Waffles restaurant in Encino with her husband Greg!) invited us over for a little birthday dinner on Friday. The table was set so beautifully-- like a mini wedding reception! Henny's friends Kari and Kurt also came over with their little son, Liam, who is 9 months old and so scrumptous! Henny's son Tye just turned 2 and just gets more and more adorable! I can't believe how big he's getting! With the two of them I was of course in BABY HEAVEN! hehe

Here are a few pictures from our night...
