Halloweening

Happy Halloween!!!

How to: have the most wonderful visit with Mom and Steff

Mom and Steff came to visit last month and let me tell you how much F-U-N we had together.  I was so glad that they finally got to see our little beach bungalow and spend some time with us in Hermosa Beach.  Here is how we had the best week ever!

1.  Check out the Santa Monica Pier.  It's one of my favorite things to do with all our visitors.  Great shopping and even better people watching.  And the newest found treasure from this place?  Gelato!!  Dare I say it's better than the gelato in Italy??  I just might...

2.  Go to Disneyland!!  It's the happiest place on Earth and in the fall time - it's the scariest!  Being there around Halloween was so fun!  I've got to look into getting a job as a decorator there. 

3.  Walk on the beach EVERYDAY.  Duh - when you live a block away from the beach it's kind of a necessity. Funny how it never gets old...

4. Hike in beautiful Palos Verdes

5. Go to the Getty - check out the amazing artwork and beautiful views!

6.  Shop!  When Mom's in town it's an absolute must!

7. Eat, Eat, Eat!!  No joke - we did not cook once the whole time they were here! 

8.  See your long lost cousins.

9.  Stare in awe at the beautiful sunsets.

10.  Cry when the week is over and begin the Countdown to Christmas in Colorado. 

Thanks for coming Mom and Steff!  We love you guys!

How to talk to Girls

Apparently this blog is becoming a place for me to post videos about little kids kissing, old people who love each other, and now - little kids giving advice about love.  I hope you find these videos as absolutely hilarious as we did. 

Make me Smile

Just in case you haven't seen this amazing video yet, I thought that I would share it with you.  It kind of reminds me of this video about young love.  Except this video is about old love. 

Just Another Day in Paradise

If this picture doesn't entice you to come visit us, check out this article that was in the Denver Post last weekend.  We will personally take you to all the hot spots around town.  That's a promise.

My Best Friends' Weddings

This summer two of my very best friends married their best friends.  The celebrations were beautiful and I was so honored to be a part of their special days.  Chelsea and Cassie - I love you guys so much and I wish nothing but an eternity of happiness for you and your sweethearts.

The OC

A few weeks ago we headed south to spend some time in Orange County.  OK, so it's really not that far away, but it was a nice change of pace.

First, we went to the Orange County Fair.  We had a blast and my wonderful hubby even won a prize for me! 

Snoopy now lives upstairs in the studio.

Then, we spent some time with some of the cutest kiddos I know.  Eric's brother and family live in Orange County so we spent the night with them and then hit up a donut joint for breakfast. 

The next day we went to the US Open of Surfing and got to watch some awesome surfing.  It took us two hours (yes, I said hours) to find a parking spot, but it was all worth it when Eric got to watch his idol Kelly Slater ride the waves.

He is handsome :)

There were so many people on the beach
