10 things I'm loving in March

1. The weather! Perfect sunny days with a slight breeze
2. My husband
3. Whoopie pies from Susie Cakes
4. LOST
5. Salads with garbanzo beans, cucumber, carrots, almonds, eggs or chicken, balsamic vinaigrette
6. My new beach cart. It carries everything for me!
7. Walking at Dana Point Harbor
8. The way my dad is helping my mom after her surgery
9. The anticipation of summer
10. The excitment Irelyn shows about going to gymnastics and her pride when she accomplishes a new task at class

You know you have a great Dad when...

...he will dress up and play Mad Hatter/ March Hare tea party with you. While George was out of town this past weekend, Irelyn made sure she got him a hat so he could pretend to be the Mad Hatter.(It is a St. Patricks Day hat and we made the sign on it) She picked some bunny ears for herself so that she could be the March Hare. Alice in Wonderland is her new FAVORITE movie.

7 years ago...

I'm almost laughing just looking at this picture!! 7 years has flown by... and so much has happened. We were married 7 years ago at Mount of Olives church. We wanted to get married the 2nd of March but had several people that could not come from out of town that day. (Those of you that know us well know the significance of the 2nd.) The 9th is just as good though- and some years we even celebrate both days :)
I can't wait to see what the next 7 years hold. Happy Anniversary George :-*

A day with my sis!

Shelby and I had so much fun on our FREE!!!! Pampered Ladies Cruise. I totally recommend going! Keep your eyes open and sign up for the next one. Tons of food, tons of drinks, massages, foot massages, tattoos and henna, beautiful scenery...it goes on and on. It was super mellow and everyone was really nice. LOVED IT!!!

A Fairy Garden

Irelyn, my mom and I went to the plant nursery and bought some flowers to make a fairy garden. She already had the little fairies so she planted the flowers and then placed the fairies throughout it. She loves it and it was easy and fun to make!

The completed Fairy Garden

I woke up this morning sort of bummed that it was Monday. After an OK day at work I came home and found something exciting. I am the winner of 2 tickets for the Pampered Lady cruise aboard a yacht in Newport Beach!!! This Sunday! I won from this blog http://www.tinyoranges.com/
