Lately...

 Daryll and Megan conspired to surprise me for my birthday.
I was surprised again with friends at Rockin' Baja Lobster that night.
 We went to Sea World where we ate frozen lemonade.
 And saw the most amazing Shamu show (5 whales in the tank!)
 Daryll went to Cabo on my birthday.
 While I worked with these crazy kids.
 At least we got to eat cupcakes.
 Our mini lemon tree is making lots of lemons.
 And the front of our neighborhood got a makeover.
 I got really sick for 2 weeks with a double ear infection. And I lost my voice.
 We went to Burbank for the weekend and Amy and I took a mustache picture.
We went to see Water for Elephants with Mom.
 We went to Easter Sunrise Service at Brand Park.
 Mom and I took a cute picture there.
 I kissed a fish at Georges.
 Then unwrapped "the box"... George's best year yet with the contact paper!
 After an hour, I finally got it open.
 We celebrated Easter with Daryll's family.

*Not pictured (because the pictures are on Daryll's camera): Daryll's parents came to visit us for a weekend.

11. Cook at least 1 recipe from every cookbook I own
12. Throw a jewelry-making party
13. Scan all my old pictures
