Day with the ducks

February 21, 2009 Rick and I took Erica to see the ducks. She was so cute with them. I was showing her how to throw the bread to the ducks. I gave her a piece to throw out at them and the next thing I know she was eating the bread. The geese were so agressive. One of them ate from out of my hand and got my thumb. It didn't hurt, but it scared me. They act like they hadn't eaten anything in a month. I was kneeling down feeding the geese and ducks with Erica when I had a goose eat something from the back of my sweatshirt. I should have known Rick thought he was funny, he put a piece of bread on my back.

Valentine's Day in Vegas

Rick and I stayed in Vegas on Valentine's Day night. I haven't seen Vegas that crowded in a long time. The lady at the desk of our hotel said that they were all full and they have been calling around to other hotels for rooms and no one had any vacancies. It was amazing what Rick and I did and who we got to see and spend some time with. From Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie to my favorite actor Matt Mcconaughey. My very best moment was meeting Tim McGraw. Believe it or not, I not only got to see Tim, but I got to give him a hug and kiss. I got to play a round of tennis with Andre Agassi and Rick got some tips from Tigger Woods. We got to have Wolfgang Puck make our dinner. Oh and I got to audition for American Idol. Oh by the way I marriede Johnny Depp. Rick said it was ok if I make sure and send him some money. If you don't believe me here our some pictures to prove it.
