Let me just start by saying there are not many people I would drive to San Diego County for. We’re looking at a potential 8 hour round trip. In one day. But luckily that didn’t happen, the stars were aligned and I was destined to see my friend Alicia while she was visiting from Utah.…

Fourth of July 2013
My brother, sister and nephew are here! The holiday started out slow, ended with a bang <— see what I did there? Most of the morning was spent testing out ways to wear our bandannas. Then a delightful BBQ at a friends’ house – complete with burgers, pulled pork, a pool for the kiddos, and…
Mammoth Trip
The last time we went to Mammoth, I was very, VERY pregnant. Like 8 months pregnant. Like the kind of pregnant where people ask if you are having twins and “are you actually going to get bigger than this?” kind of pregnant. You know, the most flattering, heavenly I mean, the most uncomfortable, can’t-wait-to-get-this-baby-outta-me part of…
San Diego Zoo + Friends
This day was just nuts. Paul and I must have been off our game, because everything seemed to go wrong. We had a great time when it was all said and done, obvi, but wouldn’t blame our friends if they never wanted to hang out with us again! They were visiting from Utah and had…
Road Trip to Southern Utah
Sometimes a little trip to the country is good for the soul. We get to see family and friends, we get to enjoy the big beautiful outdoors, we get to eat 5 Guys with fry sauce, we get to jump and run and play and laugh. Happy. Headed home…
December Wrap-Up
December was busy in the best possible way. I really tried to do things to pick up my Christmas spirit and enjoy the season as a whole. Starting with a date night to the No Doubt concert at Gibson Amphitheater. Oh, so very fun. I was 16 again in my mind and danced my ass…
Downtown L.A. for Gift Bag Giving
This year marked the 2nd Anniversary of our Annual Gift Bag Giving Extravaganza! I might be overstating it a tad. We really just get together with our friends, donate some items, assemble them in ziploc bags and drive around downtown Los Angeles in the designated Christmas Van to hand them out to the homeless. Most…
Some Of Our Favorite Peoples
To wrap up the very busy month of October, we’ve had some visitors in our area. And lucky us, they are all some of our favorite peeps! My Utah bestie and her husband came to see us while they were on their babymoon to SoCal. She is pregnant with her 4th baby, and is just…
Another Day at Another Fair
This time we went to the Orange County Fair. And daddy got to join us! We mostly wanted to go a little closer to the coast so we could have some nice cool weather. That did not work out in our favor. It was hotter than Satan’s armpit. Shaved Ice was a necessity. But we…
Mammoth Mountain
This last weekend, we had the chance to get outta dodge and go visit some nature. Same cabin as last year and it was just great. We had snow in the hills and it was plenty cold. We did some beer (and root beer) tasting, watched a lot of TV, went to the tippy top…
