Conference, Conference, Conference


So, I had a conference in what other place....Las Vegas. Viva las Vegas! Well, the conference itself was good. But we were sooo busy with the conference, the only thing we enjoyed was Mama Mia on Saturday night. Not only that, but I was nodding off a couple times right after the intermission. It was a good show though.

There is nothing like knowing how bad California education really is. We were talking with a counselor of a 7-12 school in New York and he was complaining about their class sizes moving from 25 to 28 to 1 next year.

We said, "Are you kidding me! We would welcome 28. 30 even!"

How could we place such a low value on education? I don't care who you are, you want the best education for your children. You can't expect the best unless you are willing to pay for the best! I think moving to another state is Kayla's best bet for success!

Oh by the way, this picture is of the masks that had fallen after landing above OUR seats. I guess all our hot air must have triggered it!

Its time for Dodger Baseball!


Well, its that time of year again!

The smell of the freshly cut grass, the weather that can't make up it's mind, I know its time for baseball season to begin. And of course the fact that Mike tells me everyday "The Game is on in 10 minutes" on his commute home. I do have fun watching the games as long as the teams are scoring and I am rooting for some team. Although, give me a Laker game any day!

But this year, we've started to take Kayla to the games with us. She went to the infamous "Coliseum Game" and fell asleep shortly after the first pitch. Then, we just recently went to the Dodgers vs. Padres and it was Kayla's first game where she really knew what was going on. She had a great time...although I'm not sure if I can say I did since I had to take her to the bathroom 6 times and she didn't pee once. I think she's afraid of the bathrooms at Dodger Stadium. I don't blame her, if I was two and half I might be afraid too. But other than that we all had a good time and I got a chance to share some knowledge with some Australians who had no idea what this whole baseball thing is all about.
