Cheers to 30 years

I celebrated my 30th birthday in a big way.  We started the day off by going back out on the lake with Brian & Cassie and the rest of the family.  We had a blast hanging out and floating in the cove. I couldn't have asked for a more fun day on the water.

We left the lake and headed down to Carlsbad to watch the sunset and do a little bar hopping with friends.  I was so happy to see friends and family and ring in the big 3-0 with them.  We started off at Dini's by the Sea and then walked over to The Compass and came back to Dini's.  we were supposed to go to a few more bars but we were having so much fun we just stayed where the fun was.

Happy 4th of July

We ended up staying in town for the holiday weekend. It was different for us being home but we had a blast. Our friends Brain & Cassie invited us out to Lake Elsinore to spend the day on the boat/lake.

We had so much fun hanging out and it felt like being out in Lake Havasu, but only closer to home and not having to fight holiday traffic.

Happy 5th Birthday Maverick Thomas

Today my baby boy turns 5.

Maverick Thomas, you light up my life.  I love everything about you: Your kisses, your snoring, your hound sniffing, and your desire to be a lap dog at 140lbs.   

Hope you have a wonderful birthday baby boy!!

See you in October Glamis

This past weekend we made out last trip out to the desert for the 2012 season. The weather was perfect low 90s with a slight breeze all day. We went out with the usual crowd: Brad, Lindsey, Kyle, Dan, Sara, & Kevin. The days were filled with some great rides to Oldsmobile and the nights with laughter and great company around the campfire.

Now the wait until October!

I love my Big Brother

Today is National Sibling Day. I have to say that I am one lucky sister to have my crazy brother for my older brother.

We are complete opposites. He is outgoing, crazy, no holds bar, say whatever is on his mind. even if its completely inappropriate. But, I wouldn't trade him for anything. Because of my brother I didn't grow up to be a girly girl. He has taught me so much about life. How to be a fighter, play in the dirt, ride bicycles through the canyons, baseball, and other countless things that big brothers do.

Christopher, I love you to the moon and back and thank God and my lucky stars every day for you! I know you will always be there for me for a shoulder to lean on, for the best laughs, and to tell me not to take life so seriously.

Love you!!

SD Padres Opening Day

We were lucky enough to go to the Padres Opening Day at Petco Park with Michelle and family. We sat out in the bleachers so the kids could play in the sand box. Of coarse Josh and I showed up in out Dodger gear to root for "our team" and was hoping for a win. Unfortunately the Padres won, but it's ok. We had a great time spending the day with the Russell/Clymens family.

Don't gloat too long Michelle!!

Dodgers and baseball is back!

I. LOVE. BASEBALL.!

and

Dodger baseball at that.

I am so exited that my favorite sport is back in full swing. I was really bummed I wasn't able to go to Opening Day at Dodger Stadium and see the new renovations that happened durning the off season. However, I did have Sport Center app sending me inning by inning updates today at work (told you I love baseball).

Dodgers are going to do big things this year. First game, Kershaw pitches a shut out against the World Series Champs, SF Giants, and a home run?!

I can't wait to make it out to the ballpark soon. Here is a picture that was posted on the Dodgers Instagram during Opening Ceremonies. Doesn't it look beautiful?!

Go Blue!!

PLAY BALL!!
