Happy Saint Patty's Day.......

Every March we decorate our house, wear green, and eat corned beef and cabbage.
Well maybe not in our house we eat something more along the lines of corned beef hash and a cabbage salad or something.



Happy Saint Patty's Day!

Our New Hot Rods......



Well after much bragging about our new toys, I have finally gotten enough time to sit and make a blog about the FUN new BIKES we got!


Cory and his little sister Kristen who had never been on the back of any bike before! She is so dang adorable! She kept saying she looked so cool.

I know..... I swore I would NEVER be a "BIKER CHICK", I was the person who cringed at the sound of a Harley revving, I was the person who HATED sharing the lane in Highway 4 rush hour traffic with a motorcycle, I was the harsh cruel person who watched Italian Job and Laughed when they flipped the biker by opening their door and watching him go flying, and I was definitely the one who said Bikes were dangerous and death traps and once I was married to a biker who rode rockets (aka R6) I told him it wasnt him I didnt trust on a bike but it was all of the idiots around him I didnt trust.



So after all of that it is a small miracle that I sit here today and post a blog about the bikes Cory got for us as Valentines Day surprises.





My poor guy has had a motorcycle since he was 13 and his first bike was a little Zuma scooter and when we dated in High School he drove a Kawasaki 250cc bike, and when he moved out to Florida to marry me he SOLD his R6 motorcycle which he had owned for less than 8 months to come be with me and help us start our new life.




This was a small way for him to warm me up to the idea of owning motorcycles again ( if you still dont know why Please re read above). I tell you I am IN LOVE with these little scooters which i call Bikes. They are so much fun! I have my little Rocket motorcycle jacket complete with spine protector and pads. I have a full face helmet and when we go out riding and stop somewhere I feel so cool walking around with my helmet and gloves :D I know I am crazy but it is so AWESOME!




Long story short I am completely hooked on these bikes and I can not wait to move up to something faster! Cory's evil plan worked. I cant say I will ever ride a Hyabusa ( really fast bike goes 260 mph), But I can say I am not a crazy motorcycle hating chick anymore! I knew I had entered into the biker world when a guy riding a Ninja pulled up next to me at a light and said hey. I felt so cool! He even did the cool one handed biker wave when he pulled off onto a different street!






Ta Ta For Now..............

La Vie Boheme......



So we got an amazing opportunity to go up to Sacramento to see Rent the musical!

We own the movie and though it has questionable topics, we really wanted to go see it on "Broadway"

It was pretty FABULOUS! It had most of the original NY Broadway cast plus 2 of the guys from the movie!



Wasnt supposed to but I snuck this pic! Gotta LOVE cell phone cams!



Thanks Mom & Dad!!!! Cory and I LOVE you!

Crazy In Love we know........

So Cory and I are not parents of any kids (yet).... BUT we do have a few adorable little animals. So please pardon my insaness, but until we have little ones I must be a doting and proud mommy and show off how completely ADORABLE my little Guinea Pig Herbie and my precious little girl Charlotte are. They are so much fun and we just wanted to document it for our friends here!!!



Seriously SO cute! My handsome and my little one and sleeping together! ( Pardon the mess I didnt make the bed well)


Me and Charlotte! She is so snuggly and completely ADORABLE!



Completely like a sleeping angel! My baby girl! Under her blanket sleeping soundly! Taking up the entire side of the bed SUCH A DIVA like mommy!

Now onto Herbie. He has been in my life for about 4 years now! We joke about Cory adopting Herbie! His FULL name is Herbert Hoover Hinckley Griffin AKA Herbie the Love Bug!



Cor Loves this little guy tons! They are fighting to be "Man of the house" Herbie talks to Cory lots more than he talks to me! When Cory walks in the door after work it is about 5 whole minutes of Herbie talking i.e. squeeling and popcorning all over the cage.


But he is still a Mommy's Piggy!

So again Pardon our insaneness but these our the loves of our life and they make us giggle, smile, and truly LOVE coming home every day!

Happy Valentines Day from Cory, Brie, Herbie & Charlotte.
