Four years ago on November 18, 2005 I married the man of my dreams. My life has never been the same and I am so glad!! Casey brings me all the happiness and love I could ever ask for. Thanks babe for being the best! I love you!!!
This year for Casey's Birthday I decided to surprise him with a trip! I always have the hardest time figuring out what to get him for a present. If he wants something he'll usually just go and get it for himself, which doesn't leave me with many gift ideas. One of Casey's favorite past times is watching college football. We always talk about going to USC, LSU, Oregon, or any other big time school to watch a game. Well my plan was to buy tickets to the USC Stanford game and stay a few days in Laguna Beach. I was going to surprise him with the trip about a week in advance, but I couldn't keep the secret! I was WAY too excited!! So I gave him a card with the tickets to the game, and he was completely surprised.
We left last Wednesday and arrived late that night. The hotel was spectacular!! The Montage at Laguna Beach...a must stay if ever visiting the area! Our time was spent relaxing in the room, ordering room service, shopping on South Coastal Hwy that was filled with unique and eclectic shops, dining in at unbelievably tasty restaurants, walking on the beach, laying out at the pool, and getting pampered at the spa. Every minute was incredible! The best part of course was spending time with each other. My mom was so kind and flew up to watch Cali while we were gone. Thanks mom!!

After fourteen months of constantly putting flower headbands on Cali, I can finally do something different!! Cali is not too fond of the flower headbands, so most of the time she would rip them off leaving her looking like a boy:( I felt bad for her every time people would stop us and talk about what a cute boy she was...ahhhh. Oh well, at least they thought she was cute.
Oh and other exciting news is...she's WALKING!!! We were at the car wash the other day sitting around waiting for the car to be finished, when I noticed Cali wasn't around me. All I could here was, "squeak, squeak, squeak". I got soooo excited because I knew that meant she was walking! I got her the cutest squeaker shoes in hopes it would help her start walking. I think it might have worked. She loved the squeaky sound and will smile every time she takes her first step.
Sorry Syds! I had to copy you and post this on the blog. Thanks for introducing it to me!!
Cali and I spent our time yesterday getting ready for a very fun Halloween party. My girlfriend Shelby and her friend Gygi planned it for all of us moms and we enjoyed every minute of it! Yummy candy, Halloween decor, and little games for the kids. What a fun holiday to celebrate!
My sister Sydney found the FUNNIEST video where you can tag a persons face to a certain character on the video. I was laughing so hard...of course you may not think it is as funny until you see your own face on the clip:)
The Stars:
Sydney- the Mad Scientist
Brit- Dracula
Me- Werewolf
Cali- Frankenstein's wife
Noble (only 3 weeks old)- Frankenstein
Side note...takes awhile to load but worth the wait!!
For Cali's one year photos we decided to go with a friend of ours who does incredible work!! Most of you might already know her but if not click here for her website GiovannaLou. I know this is totally bias of me and of course I would say this because I'm her mother, but Cali is one beautiful girl!!
