Visit to the Vegas and So CA!

Hmmm I think I LIKE the way that sounds... but maybe that is just me personally! ;)

Saturday afternoon I drove down to Loma Linda to visit the Paul, Kristi, PJ and Gabriella for the first time since her surgery, With all 3 girls in Tow!!!!

Sunday we had a good old sleepover for the girls, Complete with makeovers, a fashion show, wii and and Tent!

Monday we went to the Splash Pad! Bella wasn't much of fan, but what IS she a fan of these days! The older kids (and moms!) had a blast!

Tuesday we got up and headed to Anaheim! We got there about lunch time and Kristi went and picked up our picnic lunches for World of Color that night! We walked back over to dland park, sanitized a table and dug in. After that we went to see Minnie and the Princess'. I was SO excited for Bella to meet Minnie... as was she... Until she rounded that corner! She was super freaked!! Hmm... I guess we just wait to see when she is a little older! lol After that we checked into our hotel. Rested a bit, Caught the Street Party before eating dinner at Tomorrowland Terrace. One of my FAV places there :) While We ate the girls rocked out to their dance party! :) Then we headed over to CA and the girls shook their groove thang some more at the Glow Fest they have going on over there! Then it was time for WORLD OF COLOR!

Wednesday we slept in... Well everyone but Bella and I did. Then we had lunch at La Brea Bakery in Downtown Disney. I also shopped for some things for Missa and Nic's wedding. :) Then we headed out to Beverly Hills. We got a little side tract ed on the way... We decided to go find Kellan Lutz' (Emmett in Twilight) house. We knew the street because he mentioned it on the Bonnie Hunt show. We found it and were taking a couple pictures when his head popped up from behind the front fence!! Ahh! We screamed a little and drove off. Too chicken to do anything else ;) lol.

From there we headed to Sprinkles Cupcakes and Crumb Bake shop in Beverly hills to have a "cupcake off". We got our competitors and got the kids some dinner and went to a local park to let them run off some steam. Hmm. Sprinkles vs Crumb. EQUAL! just DIFFERENT! There were things I Loved about BOTH. Sadly I left the rest of mine at Kristi's!! :(

All it all it was a wonderful time spend with awesome friends. When we left thursday evening... Lilly started BAWLING, "I'm going to miss them!" :) Little Besties are starting to "get it" more and more. Hopefully we can return soon... Love you so much Vega Family! Thank You for EVERYTHING!!

Eclipse Convention

I had the opportunity to attend the Eclipse Convention in Beverly hills on Saturday with my sister in law Kayla! It was awesome!! There were so many stars in attendance that it was almost overwhelming! The Cast Members we saw on Saturday are as Follows:
"Cullen Panel"
Peter Facinelli (Carlisle)
Elizabeth Reaser (Esme)
Nikki Reed (Rosalie)
Jackson Rathbone (Jasper)
Ashley Greene (Alice)

Gil Birmingham (Billy Black)
Christian Serratos (Angela)
Daniel Cudmore (Felix)

Sadly I missed the wolf panel because I was busy stalking the back of the building on my way back from dinner where they were pulling Rob, Kristen and Taylor up. lol I wasn't too disappointed except I would have loved to hear Julia!

"Wolf Panel"
Chaske Spencer (Sam)
Alex Meraz (Paul)
Julia Jones (Leah Clearwater)
Tyson Houseman (Quil)
Boo Boo Stewart (Seth Clearwater) Was also there making appearances at his table
Then Of Course:
Robert Patinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner!!!!

Obviously the reason WHY we came was to see Rob, Kristen and Taylor. The overall MASSIVENESS (is that a word!?) of this convention was so much bigger than the previous 2 I've attended. Bigger more Interesting Venue which I personally loved how the seating was and how the whole layout was setup! But only if you were able to have an assigned seat. I would have been disappointed in the general admission section! The panels were fun and it was great to see new people such as Jackson, Nikki, Liz, and Ashley. I was surprised by who I liked in person. Nikki was ADORABLE! Awesome personality and chatty... Ashley however was NOT. I didn't hear a single GOOD word said about her appearance by anyone the entire weekend. Which is really quite sad because I was SO looking forward to seeing her considering the past two conventions I went to she cancelled.

Throughout the day the convention room had been scattered with people. But when I came back in at 7 for the trio... The room was overspilling and the buzz inside was crazy!! They were about 20 minutes late and that room erupted with screams as they entered! They asked us to please refrain from our applause etc to get as many questions in as possible.. but these twi-hards could not resist. Sadly A LOT of time was wasted while they waited for the crowd to quiet after the "I Love You Rob!"s and "I love you Taylor!"s. I was able to get some pretty good pictures from where we were sitting for not having a "paparazzi" camera lol! Also a couple good videos!!

One of the best part of the weekend was meeting new friends! Met some really great people this weekend and I look forward to getting to know them better! Thanks for the great weekend guys!!

Here are some pictures and an awesome video!!

Eclipse Convention

"The Wall"

When we moved to Sacramento 3 years ago Chris started working from home and the extra room became his office. Instead of removing what he deemed the "ugly" wallpaper he decided to utilize it as a way for everyone that visited the Crain Household to leave their "mark". When Bella was born, He moved his office over to the church leaving the extra room vacant. A good family friend of ours, Ashli is now going to be living with us for a bit and asked if she could paint! We of course didn't care but I decided to take some pictures of the wall first before the wallpaper came down. It was really cool to see all the people that had left their touch over the past 3 years! We are SO blessed to have SO many amazing friends and family in our lives! Thank you All for being there! We love you!
