Young Bird, New Tricks!

Well, Robert and I are back from our family Disneyland trip and I JUST took my last midterm--Thank goodness! I only have about an hour until we leave for the John Mayer concert down in San Jose tonight (which Robert bought me the tickets for Christmas!) but we finally got a video of the new tricks Robert and I have been teaching Makiya so I thought I'd post them real fast! Enjoy!

♥ Robert's baby boy ♥

Monday, March 1st, right when Robert got home from work, we jumped into my car and drove down to Fresno, CA to pick up our new baby boy.
Then, drove all the way back---yes, in one night!

Welcome to the Campbell Family, Makiya!
(pronounced ma-ky-ya)

(playing on his gym eating a piece of dried banana)

He is a Jenday Conure which are very social, cuddily birds. I did so much research on these types of birds that I feel like I could write my own  book! He is only 5 months old so he's still just a baby! When he hits a year his colors will come all the way in with a bright yellow head, orange tummy and green wings with bright blue ends. He also will be able to whistle numerous tunes, tricks and even say words. They live 25-30 years so we will have him for quite a long time!

Needless to say, although it was an "anniversary gift" Makiya LOVES Robert. I get the pleasure of staying home with him but the moment Robert's voice is heard or as soon as he walks in the door Makiya flys straight to him! He is a sweet gentle bird who is SPOOOOILED! He has his own tabletop play gym and a nice big cage with tons of toys, ropes, perches, and more! He loves to eat fresh fruits and veggies which is fun to shop in produce for your PET! Robert is a proud "dad". He already has him potty trained and Robert loves to show off  the fact that when he holds him over the toilet and says "Go poop" that he will.

March 6th

This past Saturday, March 6th, Robert & I celebrated our one year anniversary. It is crazy to think of everything we have done and have been through in the past year. Time really does fly by! It is so fun to look back on  the photos and of the big wedding day! We had so much support and loving friends and family members who came to see us on our wedding  day. We really do appreciate everyone who made the trek to good ol' Sacramento and to everyone who helped out! It was a great day that I never want to forget! I can't wait to see what the years to come will bring.

I sure love you honey!!
Eternity is going to be GREAT! ♥

Viva------

We're back from Vegas!!!!!!!

We went on a quick but fun weekend trip. Left Thursday after work and got there Friday morning about 2:45am!

We both had been to Vegas before----His grandparents used to live there so he would visit annually. I have only been there once----the summer before my sophomore year my dad was going to a Board of Director's meeting in Vegas and I knew my mom was going with him. My parents surprised me with a plane ticket (my first ever!). So I have great memories of just sight-seeing with my mom there.

Oh man does it feel like a different world though! Robert & I were joking about how we decided to come to a place that is basically known for doing EVERYTHING our morals are against! Smoking, drinking, gambling, immorality, explicit pictures!!!! There are definitely bad things there....no doubt BUT if you know the right places to go, and how to have fun, Vegas can be a great place to visit! We were able to escape even from the aroma and images a majority of our stay!

We went to the "Tournament of Kings" which is in the Excalibur. It is basically a medieval dinner and a show and it is SOOO AWESOME!!!!!  It has jousting, amazing food and was so interactive.....Oh I would recommend it to anyone. It was probably one of my favorite things we went to!

If you want to see an amazing hotel though.....See the Wynn. When I went my first time, everyone was talking about the Wynn but it was just being built. This time I got to go inside and it is exquisite! Almost every restaurant is formal attire and plates start at like $85!!!! The decorating though..... was breath taking!!! We took our video camera and just was in awe when we were there! Even the slot machines started at $100!!

The Bellagio is one of my FAVORITE hotels in Vegas---mainly because I love the watershow! The performance is to different songs and has completely different choreography each time....but it is SO fun and amazing to watch!

It was a great little vacation and we had perfect weather right before this crazy storm hit CA and NV. We are getting back into the swing of things now and I start school again this next Monday the 25th.....I am hoping I have a better, less-stressful semester than last year!

Also, I've been trying to upload a video but the video button suddenly disappeared under "compose"....has that happened to anyone else?
