La Jolla

Every time my sister comes in town we try to think of places we can take her that she hasn't seen before. La Jolla is one of the most beautiful places here and she has never been. So we decided that once Darrin got off work we would head up to La Jolla (which is about 30 minutes north) for dinner. We got there at the perfect time, the sun was just starting to set and I have to say that is one of the best parts of California. They have some of the most beautiful sunsets, they are absolutely gorgeous. The colors are so bright and change so drastically. After the sunset we went to Su Casa, our favorite Mexican Restaurant for dinner.

I love these pictures, they are some of the best we have ever taken here!

Coranado Island

Yesterday I made a last minute appointment to get my hair done. I was feeling like I needed a make over and luckily the girl I use had a 9:00 am opening this morning. Since Sister was here to watch Reagan for me I jumped at the opportunity to be pampered. Afterwards I treated them to In-N-Out burger for lunch before heading home for naps. I am still a huge Whataburger fan, but everyone here goes crazy for In-N-Out and if you are in Cali you must eat it at least once. After naps we went to Coranado to spend the last part of the afternoon on the beach. We hit up a few shops and sat around the beach and then headed home to meet Darrin for dinner.

After dinner Darrin wanted to go back to Coranado (I think he was jealous) for ice cream. There is a really good ice cream store in the Coranado Hotel so drove back out there for an ice cream treat! I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, but Reagan might be the winner!

17 Months!

Look who's 17 months old! If you haven't noticed we celebrated by giving her pig tails with two bows today! I have been wanting to give her a new hair style, but I just wasn't sure if she was ready for pigtails just yet. Sister and I tried them on her and I must say they are pretty cute! We took her out shopping and then to McDonalds. She loves to watch the TV at Gymboree, who's ever idea that was to play cartoons while us moms shop was genius. Then we stopped into McDonalds for some french fries and a sweet tea. Reagan LOVES, I mean LOVES tea!! That girl gets a death grip on her cup and there's no way you can take it from her!

I can't believe next month she will be a year and a half! That's too big!! Before I know it she will be turing two, then five, then fifteen!!

What Else Should We Do Besides Shop?

Of course the first thing on the list is shop while Sister is here. She always wants to spice up her closet with a few new things for the upcoming season. Today we went out to Fashion Valley to shop around, hoping to find some good deals. She found a ton of cute things, everything she tries on looks good on her. I am the one who needs new clothes, not her but she can pull off anything! If we lived closer I wouldn't complain because I could just borrow her stuff, but since we can't share closets I am jealous of her wardrobe!

We're Here and We're Hungry!

We're back in California and we brought sister with us! What a difference there is in temperature. We left Dallas 30 degree weather and now we have 75 degree and sunny! Reagan did okay on the plane, she didn't sleep a wink but having 2 other people there to help me was MUCH easier. We had the whole row for her to move and walk around from person to person.

Since I have been gone for a month our pantry and refrigerator was totally bare. It looked like we were just moving in, there might have been ketchup and eggs in the fridge and stale pretzels and a can of soup in the pantry. Pretty bad! There is no way Darrin was going to go grocery shopping after work or on his day off, so it makes me wonder what in the world he ate!

Since we were starved we decided to out for mexican food in Old Town. Of course it was great and we ate our weight in food. Why do I always over eat when eating mexican food? It sure feels good to be back and out of the cold, but I am having to readjust to all the help I had for a whole month. Reagan is used to getting 100% of the attention and I liked being able to run out without her or take a nap if I wanted! Good thing Sister is here!
