Vegas Baby!!

We're off to Vegas for Thanksgiving. We are meeting my family and my Aunt and her family from California there. It is going to be so much fun!! I love the holidays and I'm especially excited to be able to spend Thanksgiving in 65 degree weather!

I hope everyone has a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving!!

San Diego!!!

We had the best time in San Diego! We left early Friday morning so we had 3 full days to play! Friday we went to Mission Beach, we went in the shops and walked along the board walk looking at all the incredible homes and condos on the beach. We decided it would be incredible to live right there!! Then we went and walked around Old Town and had dinner. Saturday we got up and went to The Wild Animal Park. It was fun but wasn't what I was expecting. We were only there for about 4 or 5 hours and that was plenty. It was cool to see all the neat and different animals. It was just hard with an almost 2 year old. She lost interest pretty quickly and we had many melt downs that day! But it was still fun. Sunday was by far the best day. We went to Sea World! Bella loved it!! She was so good all day. She loved the Dolphins and the Shamu show! We all loved it! It was so fun. They have a little play land for little kids called Sesame Bay of Play, which was great to help break up the day for Bella. She got to meet Big Bird and Elmo. She was a little freaked out by them though. All in all we had a great time and look forward to when we can do something so fun again.

3 for 3

Well we're back from our weekend getaway. And as of today we are all 3 sick. That will teach us to try to getaway and do something fun. I woke up sick on Monday, our travel home day. Then Eric came home from work early yesterday with the same crap that I have. Sore throat, cough, headache and body aches. And this morning Bella woke up with a fever AGAIN and is extra fussy. Awesome!! I went to the Dr. on Tuesday to get checked out because I felt and still feel awful! But don't worry it's not the flu and it's not strep. The Dr. said it could just be viral. Pretty sure they say it's viral when they can't figure anything else out. So I'm going to assume that what Eric and Bella have is just "viral" also. I can handle one or maybe 2 people being sick at the same time but all of us. Seriously? This just sucks!! I am still not even all the way unpacked. My house is a mess. I'm so tired. I was the one that was supposed to be sick and get to be taken care of. But no, I can't even have that. I now have to be sick and take care of everyone else and the house and try to make meals and pay the bills and blah blah blah.
Oh it's great to be home!!

I'll post pics of our fun weekend in San Diego in the next couple of days....stay tuned!

2 days to....

And we have a sick baby....awesome!!

Trick or Treat!!!

Bella was a witch this year for Halloween. She looked so cute and she loved trick or treating!! She would have stayed out all night if I would have let her. She would run from one house to the next and sneak some of her candy in between! She was so brave, she'd go right up to the door and knock and say "trick or treat". Granted she would say it before they opened the door but she still said it. There were a couple "scary" houses around our neighborhood but those didn't even slow her down. She just kept saying "more more". It was so fun to watch her and see how exciting the whole night was for her. She makes everything so much fun!!

our little witch all ready to go!

her little friend Alli was also a witch. so cute.

running from one house, candy in hand!

Mimi even came to go trick or treating with us this year. Bella with a mouth full of candy!!

I had to force her to take a picture with me. She just wanted to keep going.

Off to the next!

Bella was hiding from the camera so this is just me and my Mama at the end of the night.
