San Onofre Beach!

This past weekend we went to San Onofre beach which is just outside of San Diego. Warren's family goes there every year for like the past 20 years. Eleanor Loved the sand and that she could play with it no matter where she was at. The water felt great and so did the cool ocean breezes. It made it pretty hard to come back to our 113 degree Las Vegas heat.

Our First Ocean visit



I Love putting Sand on my head!!!

It's Camping Time!!!!!

So this past weekend we went Camping! We left on Friday and went up to Duck Creek with my parents and their trailer. We brought our quad, their quad, and a Teryx which is a side by side four wheeler.


The weather was Awesome! Like 75 during the day and then in the 40s at night. We camped out on the meadow with our buddies Russ and Pam along with a couple of their kids and their friends.
Ella enjoying her ride with mom and our hats that I made from t-shirts!!




It was pretty dirty and Ella had the buns to prove it.


Our little spotted puppy. She fell over and head planted in the dirt.


Ella loves having her own chair.




Enjoying the parade at duck creek village.


Ella had her flag that was made in China, great huh?



Our friend Russ who participated in the parade.


The view from Strawberry Point.


Ella enjoyed all the flowers we found.


Ella wanted to get close to the creek. Warren was helpful. :)


The meadow by strawberry point was amazing, and flat so Ella had alot of fun walking around.


Ella and Grandma. Look out for those cow pies!!


Warren took Ella on her first quad ride and she had tons of fun! Then she wanted to go out on it whenever she could.

Warren introduced Ella to toasted marshmallows, I don't know how much she really enjoyed it.

How's it going?

Today started off as a junk day. You ever have those junk days? You wake up and you got enough sleep but you Really don't want to get out of bed.......But you have to. So then you get going, get the kid and then you just feel Junky. You can think of ALLLLL the things you could do or should do today and it all feels like,why? What's the point? It is extremely unmotivating. So I got Ella off to a nap and I sat down and got my other blog going. I've started a craft blog. http://hodgepodgedays.blogspot.com/  

It is a day to day project blog where each day is a new theme. This will motivate me to actually Do Something instead of saying Why? and eating a mint oreo (which by the way, the new ones with fudge are freakin amazing) it will keep my creative juices moving and really who doesn't need some of that? So I hope you will check it out, frequently, and try out some of my tips so I can spread some love in this world. Also check out all the links to all the other fabulous blogs I have found that inspire me all the time. 
Love to all my peeps in the world(which aren't very many so I hope you Really feel the love)
