My Moms Face

So here is the picture that Judy took of my moms face when I surprised her at the airport. My sister was on the phone with me when she walked up to the car. She said to my mom "Do you want to talk to Becky?" So my mom said "Yeah!" I got on the phone with her and started walking to the car from behind. I said "Hi mom! Cadence is right here, do you want to say Hello?" She said "Okay!" and I popped my head in the window...

this was her reaction!!!! Priceless!!

Home Sweet Home

So I got this brilliant idea - I wanted to go home to Michigan and surprise my mom! (Well it was also my sisters 21st birthday so I wanted to be there to take her out with my cousins too!) The day my sister flew home, the baby and I hopped on the same flight and went with her. My mom had no idea. You have no idea how hard it was to keep this secret! I almost slipped so many times. Ski's mom Judy has the picture of the priceless look on my mom's face - as soon as she sends it to me I will post it.

It was a great trip though. Of course it wouldn't be a trip to Michigan without someone puking. Me, Megan and Cadence all got sick. I'm pretty sure it was probably someone on the plane that was sick and we breathed their recycled air. I couldn't have asked for a more inconvenient time to puke.

It was Caders first time seeing the snow. Judy bought her some new boots and she wasn't too sturdy in them. She ended up falling head first in the snow.






My mom and I - aren't we hot!!!


My best friend Theresa (or as I call her TRSA) It was great to spend time shopping with her and talking about anything and everything.


Caders and her grandma's


Every visit I have to have lunch with my friends Frank and Diane. They are like second parents to me! I used to work for Frank at MNP Steel Corp before I moved to California. It was such a great job and I miss it so much.

The Rose Bowl!

On New Years Day we went to the Rose Bowl. I'm not even going to discuss the game - but the whole experience was awesome. As far as Rose Bowls go, Ski and I have been to 2 of them and Michigan has lost both times. We've come to the conclusion that we jinx them. We left for Pasadena at 2:00am (just in time for the bars to close and all the drunks were on the road!) and we got there at 4:30am. People were already cooking and drinking that early. (I however went to sleep in the car! Ski was too excited to sleep!) It was so cold in the morning but as the day went on the temperature rose to a nice 65 degrees. We were parked next to some USC fans who were so nice. They gave Ski shots of Tequila and fed us Carne Asada. The seats we had for the game were amazing. It was like being right down on the field!!! Though Michigan didn't do too well it was still a great time. Unfortunately Ski lost a bet to his friend at work and now has to wear a USC jersey all day one day. He wasn't thrilled about it at all! Here are a few pictures of our day!
