Fun in the Sun

Wow, what do you know, I'm actually blogging on time this week... Hope this kicks my butt into shape!

Friday night Dennis and I met his parents and Stacey in Carlsbad, Ca. A friend of theirs loaned them a time share for the week. It was right on the beach. Here is a view out the patio window.

Our gracious hosts made dinner and then we just hung out and relaxed later on in the night we went walking around the streets near the condo. It was a pretty nice area. There were little shops and restaurants everywhere. We heard music coming from a little outdoor patio area. We walked over and there was this band playing, but the best part was the white people dancing. They were so in to it. It was the highlight of the night... Seriously we sat and watched for a whole hour!  You can't really see anything in the picture below but you can get a good idea of our view.

Sunday I went and had lunch with Grace. She is totally awesome and I love spending time with her! After that I met up with Dennis and Stacey to go to Miguel's b-day party. Of course we had to stop and visit with Lisa & Logan. He is just the cutest! :)

Tomorrow is Dennis' 1st Softball game! I can't wait to see him play! I'm sure there will be a second post this week!

Forgive me blog, for I have sinned...

I took a little blogging siesta! I will admit most of it had to do with the fact that it takes forever to upload pictures now and a little was me being lazy. Uploading pictures is pretty annoying but I hate sitting here for hours trying to upload 10 pictures...

Here is a recap of the last months good times...

Basically there was a baseball game, a few actually, a trip to Laughlin, Lewis came to visit, Dennis went to the All star game, various birthday's, dinners and a bunch of other fun things that I can't remember to mention...

I've made a life changing decision to back to school, I can't wait to get started.... I'll elaborate later in the year.

I'm making a promise to myself, and to you whoever is reading this, that I will revert back to blogging every week... And... I will enjoy it! :)

Excuses, excuses, excuses

I'm full of them! I started this blog with the intention to blog about every weekend... I've been pretty successful so far... Then I just got busy. Crazy busy... and my blogs got posted later and later... A lot has happened in the last week and 1/2. All Start game (Dennis is blogging about that) Carmen's baby shower, my birthday (Bowling party, and Angels game). This weekend is going to be busy too. Debbie's wedding and Logan's 1st Birthday... I'm going to try and get last weekends blogging done before the weekend but I can't guarantee that I will... I have every intention but you know how that is... For sure I will blog about this weekend and maybe just tie the two together... Well see what happens...

Lunching with the ladies...

I had a lovely Saturday afternoon with a group of lovely ladies... We are all connected through our Boyfriends/ Husband/ or in Nancy's case brothers. We never get a chance to get together since were all on different schedules, so this week we decided that no matter what we were going to make it work.

We went to a restaurant in Rutabagas in Fullerton. Mandy made the suggestion. I was Delicious! Very homemade-ish style.  Here is our group shot. It took a couple of tries but we got it... eventually.

Almost, but cut off

Finally got it!

After lunch I hung out with Lisa and Logan. He is too cute!

He loves himself

They are too cute!

God bless America!

After coming back from Camping, unloading the truck, resting and then have to get ready again I wasn't in the mood to go or do anything! But... I've always looked forward to the 4th of July for the Fireworks! Yes, I know the history behind the day and yes I am thankful for the freedoms that we all have today, but even as a kid I loved the fireworks!

So Stacey, Andrea, Dennis and I left to head to Santana Park, where the City of Corona was having a festival/ fair. Fireworks aren't allowed since were in the middle of the desert, so the city puts on a show. We didn't know what to expect but we were impressed. There was a shuttle from the high school so we didn't have to worry about parking. We parked, got in the bus and got dropped off right in front of the park. They had food booths, a huge stage with a band and all kinds of jump houses for the kids. There were so many people there!  There was an awesome fly over, which ooh and awed the crowd. The fireworks were really good. The show lasted for at least 25 min. I can't wait until next year!

Never camp on a hill...

We have been so busy this year! Whether it was trips to Lauglin, Carson City or camping. there is always something on our agenda.

We left to go Lake Arrowhead Friday night to camp. The campground we stayed at was Dogwood. Dennis and his family had camped there back in the day, so Micheal (family friend) invited us to go we were excited. Plus the place had toilets and showers! My kind of camping!

Overall the trip was a blast. Well minus the freezing nights and the fact that the whole campsite was sloped so we were sliding down in the tent all nigth. We all would start out on our air mattress and then by the time we were up in the morning half of our bodies were off. None of us slept very well this trip. Well at least at night. We all did take a bomb nap Saturday afternoon. I will never, ever camp on a Hill again! EVER

Memory Loss...

I officially can't remember what we did last weekend... Yes, it was a whole 5 days ago...

Here are the details I remember:

Sat: Debbie's Bridal shower
Sunday: Lunch with Dennis' family & Martha's Graduation party!
(I can't believe she has her Masters already) So proud of her!

The rest is just a void... Must have been really eventful. lol

I must really be losing it! :)

Tonight we leave for Big Bear to go camping, I'm sure I'll remember this trip!
