Our "Girlie" Weekend :)

Image

Warning: LOTS of photos. I had such a hard time choosing photos.

My "baby" and I left for San Diego--Starbucks in hand ;)--around 10:00 a.m Saturday. Our first stop was the hotel to "freshen up" for our Afternoon High Tea.

Here are some pics at the Tea Shoppe. You can see it's a very "cutesy," cozy place. We were served a delicious, filling lunch of various tea sanwiches, scones, fruit, quiche, and dessert. Here are some pics at the Tea Shoppe.The Tea Shoppe just happens to be in a quaint, little shopping area. So we had to check it out. Here are some pics of the shopping area.

Sunday we went to Sea World for a couple of hours (we have passes till the end of the year). I didn't take my camera inside, so I just took a picture of Ashley in the parking lot. I will admit, I am a crazy mom and I told her to sit on the roof of the car so I could get a good shot of the "Journey to Atlantis" ride in the background ... she was very happy to comply, though :)

After we left Sea World, we met Carlito and Carlos at Shoreline Village, where Ashley did a little shopping (she fell in love with this yellow dress ... notice that the bodice is slit to the navel ... hmmm), and we ate at Chili's.

Yes, she is! She is a photographer's dream. Lucky me! ;)

But then again, your daughter is very photogenic as well. I ADORE taking pictures of her (and I get the feeling she likes her picture taken as well!)

Missing You

By
We've been having internet problems since last Friday evening. It goes on and off sporadically. Someone should be coming today to fix it (and of course it's working perfectly right now, lol!). I don't usually blog in the middle of the day (too much house stuff to do) , but I gotta grab the internet while I can. I'm desperate! It has actually startled me to realize how connected I am to all of you--even you, Ronalyn, and I have never met you. I have so missed reading blogs, commenting on them, and posting. I have really felt disconnected to you all (yeah, I'm a "recovered hick" but I can't erase that expression from my vocabulary--however, I don't say, "y'all." I do draw the line there. Sorry if I'm offending anyone--as in my sister and brother-in-law, but I don't consider you guys hicks.) . So I hope the person who comes to repair the internet issue can perform a miracle so I don't have to miss you anymore :)

A Rare Moment Captured on Film

By
No, it's not a rare moment that my kids brush their teeth (well, it would be if left up to them!). I walked into the bathroom tonight to see both my kids in the bathroom brushing their teeth ... and this is the rare moment--they actually got along! I had to run and get my camera to document this rare moment of parental bliss. And now I'm sharing it with you. Now isn't your day more complete?!

Just another day ...

By
Today was a full day. The workers put in our patio door ... sooooooooo excited to have this door!!! The pictures look much less than impressive b/c I didn't take time to play around with them in Photoshop (CSI: Miami is on so I'm glued to the T.V, plus I have a huge load of laundry to fold still). I'm so thrilled to have this door that, good pic or not, I have to share. Like I said, we've never done anything like this before, so every little thing excites me beyond belief :-D They worked on it all day, having to break out a rather large section of the wall, take out a window and door, and move our electrical outlet and porch light. And as you can tell, they have to finish tomorrow. This is the view from the inside: This is the view from the outside: It was strange to have them in my house. But apparently, in deference to my "feminine ears," they decided to refrain from using their Spanish cuss words. That was nice :) Plus our washer is on the blink (has bee...
