a midnight premiere, mother hens & a rocker

california is always a smorgasbord of fun. lina and i went to the midnight premiere of The Hunger Games, complete with camping out in the bitter cold, shivering under a blanket eating pizza on the corner of McBean and Magic Mountain Pkwy. good times. but never again. i'm not cut out for midnight premieres anymore sadly. staying up til 3:30 am messed me up for the next several days. i was a zombie. but hanging out with Lina--who is such a fun, caring, hilarious, beautiful little sister--was wonderful. good sisterly bonding.

jake's every whim was cared to by his "little mother hens" aka the girl cousins. i think he was totally digging all the attention. such a ladies man :)

and the icing on the cake: jake proved he bleeds blue and sat smiling in his totally legit Dodgers rocker that the grandparents got him. my dad is so proud and is itching to take him to a game and feed him Dodger dogs.

a million other little memories and moments always make up our trips to california: shopping for lina's prom dress in the Fashion District, visiting jake's grandma and grandpa great at the temple, going out to lunch with Aunt Heather, Lora's baby shower, being with family on Sunday, talking, shopping, eating, crawling, crawling, crawling. always a good time. see you in May california!
