Seven for Sundays




1.  We went to Disneyland!  Breslin's second time at a Disney Park, first time at Disneyland.  Same as the first time, the tea cups were his FAVORITE!  We got to the park at about 9 AM, and left a 7 PM!  It was a full day of fun!


 2.  Mitzi got some new banners for Valentine's Day pictures and she needed a model to help her with some samples.  So here is our little heart breaker taking some Valentine's Day pictures.
3.  Oh boy has it has been a busy and stressful week for MSU's basketball team.  Currently ranked no. 5 and undefeated in the B1G.  But they had two tall tasks ahead of them this week.  A home game against no. 3 ranked OSU, which we led by 17 at one point, only to have OSU come back and tie it and send it to OT.  Thankfully we came up with the win.  Then we had Minnesota at home, which shouldn't have been difficult, but we were without Adreianne Payne.  This time, we were down for most of the game, but came back to be up by 6, only to have Minnesota tie it and send it to OT.  MSU, came through in OT--but again, another stressful game.  They never make it easy do they?  However, meaning of the picture... In Izzo we trust!

4.  Last week of relaxation before we head back to the grind tomorrow.

5.  Booked mine and Breslin's spring break trip to Florida this week.  If you guys know me at all, you must know that as one break ends, I am already planning on the next vacation.  

6.  Still riding the high off of the Rose Bowl win-- ordered a whole lotta Rose Bowl gear which should be coming in any day now!!!!!  Still amazed at the type of season we had, considering how MSU played the first three games of the season.

7.  Oh, Breslin... my train wreck of a sleeper.  Ever since we got back from Michigan he has been a disaster at night.  I am really hoping once we get back on schedule next week, his routine will fall back into place...  My back is sore from sleeping on the floor next to his bed these last couple of nights.  I am contemplating changing his toddler bed to his full size bed to see if that will help at all.  I am willing to listen to any and all suggestions for a toddler with bedtime issues!

Seven for Sundays (Monday)

 1.  Well let's see... what major thing has happened in the last seven days?!?!  Oh I don't know, MSU going to the Rose Bowl for the first time in 26 years and WINNING!  The last time MSU went to the Rose Bowl I was 5!  Of course I didn't go, and of course I barely remember it at all.  We had always said if MSU made it again, we would go.... and boy did we go!!!!  With an additional 60,000+ Spartan fans!
Beside ourselves!  There may have been a few tears shed!

 2.  Now this was actually last Saturday, so I cheated a little bit... going one more day back...  But this was Breslin's first MSU basketball game.  He had gone to Midnight Madness when he was about 5 months old, but this was his first REAL MSU game at the Breslin Center!  Pretty big deal, considering this is the arena he is named after!


 3.  We left Michigan earlier this year than in years past to make it back to California in time for the Rose Bowl.  This is one of our last pictures together from the Holiday Break.  We all got variations of the "Spartan Up" Rose Bowl shirt, and decided to really quick put it on for the picture.

 4.  So many Spartan friends came out for the game.  Above is the Williams... this is the family we do our annual New Years with.  I think in the last 30 or so years we have only missed one New Years.... and even though we didn't celebrate New Years Eve with them this year, we got to celebrate an MSU Rose Bowl Victory and New Year's Day with them!
 5.  These were a few of the people that crashed at our house over these past few days (minus PJ).  It was a full house and an absolute blast!  I wish they had all stayed longer (especially Rachel, I feel like she was here for 24 hours and that was it)!
 6.  As we took our out of town guests down to LA, we ran into a Laker known as Swaggy P AKA Nick Young, who has been killing it on the court as of late.  And we of course had to visit the Magic Johnson statue, the same-ish statue that is in front of the Breslin Center.
7.  It was a fun filled packed week, and I am sad to see it end.  However, I am grateful that my school has one more week off before school starts back up, so I can actually, what do you call it?!?! Relax!

Well, what can I say!  MSU won the Rose Bowl!  It was amazing.  The amount of Spartan friends that I saw out here was awesome.  The tailgating was great, the beer was fun, but the game was PERFECT!
