Betty Strikes Again

 I have my cousin coming into town tomorrow, so I decided that some banana bread was just the ticket to welcome them to town. I spent all day making it (the Chrissy Tiegen recipe, of course) and it came out of the oven shortly before I went to bed. I covered it with a towel (didn't want to cover it in a container yet, since the heat would make the container sweat) and went to sleep. 

Then this morning, I woke up and went out to get going on my day and saw this. 

This freaking dog had gotten out of her cage and gotten up onto the table in the middle of the night and ate half of a loaf of the banana bread (which has chocolate chips, mind you). 

What an absolute punk! Gaaaah!

Time for Horses

 A few months ago, randomly, Avenue and I were like, we should go horseback riding. Don't know what prompted it but we were like, great. So we booked ourselves into the afternoon not realizing we did it for the same weekend as the LA 5K. No real worries here, but just a funny coincidence. 

We arrived in the HEAT of the day. We had to wear long pants per the website of this place (and closed toed shoes, which I understand but ugh I hate it) so we were so hot and sweaty. We met our horses and hit the trail. 

It was a fun ride, nothing too crazy happened. The only eventful thing was a girl seemed to be scared of her horse, she didn't take control of the animal and the horse was trying to run away maybe? I don't know - then they wouldn't let her ride her horse anymore and she had to be walked back down the mountain. 

It was such a fun day - I want to do this again when it's not 1000 degrees outside. 

  

We couldn't have our phones on us during the riding so no photos there, alas. 

So much dang fun, I loved it.

LA 5K

 Well, started what I think will be an annual race - the LA 5K. Avenue and I decided to do this a few months ago and finally made it to today. It is unfortunate that I do have this cold but otherwise, I'm here for the fun! 

This was just so much fun! It was soooo windy so that was wild to deal with but we just had fun, it was mostly us walking but I don't even care. This was such an event - I wanna do it again next year for sure.

15 Years!

 Y'all, can you believe, this year is my 15th wedding anniversary?! I can't believe how the time has flown! 

Of course, being a weekday I unfortunately had to work, and I have a cold, which is also too bad, but we still had fun. 

Hecking cuties.

We had some dinner at Disneyland - we went to Hearthstone Restaurant, where we ended up with a piece of chocolate as big as our heads. 

Look at that adorable Mickey of whipped cream. 

And then of course, gotta drizzle the chocolate on it. 

This is as far as we got on it before I had to admit defeat - and this honestly made our stomachs hurt - why didn't I stop earlier?! 

Lego Times

 All right, I did two Spring sets - a fabulous spring wreath and then new sunflowers dropped. 

So dang cute! Definitely gonna have this up for a while.

And of course I added the sunflowers to my shelves.     

A Day of Shenanigans

 Sometimes, you just gotta take a day off and live your best life. We headed over to Downtown Disney to have a nice morning. We went to a new place (We're trying to hit every food place downtown) and had brunch. I got a French toast and it was EXTRA in the best way possible. 

It was absolutely so delicious

Then, after hanging out there for a bit, we headed home for some chilling. I finished up my Lego set that I had been working on recently, this Mario piece. I love it haha. His head attaching to his body was by far the hardest part, it just would not attach! So he's a bit wonky but honestly, I did my best there. 

Epifanio Pics

 I never have stories about the fellas anymore obviously not living near them but every time I get pics, it makes me so happy. 

The way he just folds into himself to watch stuff just makes me giggle its so cute.
