Camping in Carpinteria

The kids had so much fun at the beach- they're finally old enough to enjoy it!

Janie was in sand heaven! Of course we didn't leave without a few fistfuls making it into her mouth- Delicious!

And for those of you who can't imagine me riding on the back of a motorcycle- here ya go! Don't laugh at my helmet- at least I was being safe. :)

Sneak Peek

Before

After

This is a sneak peek of Candice's kitchen. It's not 100% yet, but getting close! This is what has occupied most of my time these last few weeks, but it has been so fun! I'm sure Candice will post all the after pictures once they move in next week!

Happy Birthday To Me!

I had a fun birthday weekend! On Saturday Derek took me to Houston's- yum! Sunday, we went to my parent's for a birthday dinner- roast, potatoes, salad, asparagus, fruit, croissants, and jello cake for dessert! My mom got me a Sunday dinner cookbook(can't wait to try them for all of our future Sunday dinners!) and a really cute shirt.

For lunch on Monday, my dad took us to Cafe Rumba (I love food!), then that afternoon I received a package from the UPS man (I love getting packages in the mail!) and inside it was this beautiful umbrella stand from Candice- thank you!

Monday night, Derek took me to Chandler mall where I got more cute clothes along with this really cute ice cream cone cupcake pan- can't wait to try it out!
