I love my Reefs

This is how I had felt the last few weeks. All I want is to be able to wear my Reef flip flops and not have my little toes cold. Come on Spring can you hurry up?!

Chris & Tasha are Homeowners!

Chris and Natasha were finally able to close escrow and move into their house last weekend. It's a cute single story house about 5 miles from us. They do have their work cut out for them with painting and flooring. We went over there this past Sunday and started helping them mask off and paint the ceiling. Next on the list is picking out the color for the walls. Congrats on the new home you two!!

Road Trip to Monterey

We had a quick change if plans for the Martin Luther King weekend. We were supposed to go to the desert, but things happened and we would have been the only ones going to the desert. I asked josh that instead if going tithe desert just the two of us what about calling the cousins and see if they were up for some company. He agreed and the cousins were excited to have us for the weekend.
We had a wonderful visit. Us girls went to Lauren's kickboxing class on Saturday morning which was so much fun and had a lazy day at the house. The boys went golfing and had a blast as well. I made sure I was able to go get my favorite sandwich from Campagno's for lunch and First Awakenings for a yummy breakfast. If you are ever in the area I strongly recommend you eat at both of these places.

Happy 5th Birthday Miss Charleigh Grace

The queen bee of the bunch turns the big 5 today. Charleigh is our little trouble maker to say the least. I though maybe with age she would not get into as much trouble, but she is proving that wrong the last few days. Nonetheless, we love her and her little Houdini self. Hope you have a wonderful birthday big girl, I love you with all my heart!!!!

Oh brother, we are going to be friends

Since I have made my blanket I have been think of projects that I want to make for all the new bundle of joys that are going to be making his/her debut in the next few months. I decided that I would make burp cloths out of cloth diapers and flannel. The project is fairly simple and I was able to remember most of the directions that Grandma Judy taught me during my Sewing 101 Class

I am so proud of that the burp cloths turned out perfect and most importantly with straight lines!!

...Trying to keep the work space neat...

...all finished...woohoo!...

Perfect Tortilla Pan Set

I L.O.V.E. informercials, they always suck me in and at the end I am pretty sure I want to purchase whatever product is. So far the perfect brownie, slushy magic, sock clips, shamwow, kaboom, and oxy clean have all been informercials that I have seen multiple times and have purchased. (Yes slightly nerdy and obsessive)

I have seen the Perfect tortilla commercials a couple of times and have wanted to purchase it but was always too lazy to find my credit card (good thing). but when I made a quick trip to buy fabric at Joann's I saw the As Seen on TV section. It's was the "ahhh moment with the little light shining down on the perfect tortilla". I had a coupon and figured what the heck just get it. I hid it in the cabinet when I it home because I knew josh would lecture me on buying more nonsense items. Well my hiding spot wasn't good enough and he found it a day later...oops ill try harder next time.

So tonight's meal we made busted out the pans and made the tostada bowls. Just like the informercials it was so easy and tasted delicious!! These pan's were totally worth the money!!!

...just simply place the tortilla in the mold...

...Pop it in the oven at 400 degrees fro 5-7 mins...

...It works!...

Family Dinner

On Sunday we made an impulsive trip down to San Marcos to have dinner with the family. I was craving pizza at the time and decided that we would go to Pizza Port in Carlsbad. Once we got to my parents house my brother and sister in law told us hat we needed to try Sublime Alehouse instead. So we agreed and went there. It's a nice place that has table seating or self seating and had variety of yummy foods to try. I decided to go with build your own sandwich. I had a chicken bacon ranch and josh had a chicken sandwich of some sort as well. All I can say is the Sublime didn't disappoint! The food and service was fantastic! My brother and Tasha love the Mac n' Cheese so maybe I'll try to that next visit.

...My yummy samich!...

...Josh and his food...

...Christopher and his Tomato Soup....

...The parents, not excited for their picture to be taken...
