It’s Friday again! I’m rolling two weeks into one…again.  I need more hours in the day.  Or less hours spent at work :)  What have we been up to?
Alannah and I spent some time with my mom at the Route 66 Rendezvous…

Grandma bought Alannah a ginormous snow cone…

And she got a sparkly cowgirl hat…

We had an adventure at the LA County Fair a couple of weekends ago.  Right when we were about the leave, they were barricading the exits and wouldn’t let us leave.  There was a bomb threat and we were held hostage for 2.5 hours while they were investigating the parking lot.  Fun right?! Not.  BUT we did have fun for the first 3 hours when we actually wanted to be there.

This was Alannah’s idea.  She said “let’s drink from our straws togeder”.  Love her!

She had to stick her head in ALL of the face cut-out thingys…

We got this cute sign made with all the extra time we had :)
Alannah new favorite hairstyle.  We do twisties at night for a Curly Sue look in the morning.  I like it because it is easy!

I love to read…but with working full-time and managing a household, there is not a lot of time for that anymore.  But, I finally finished this book this week (it was really good)…

And started this one (which I hear is really good)…

This is a great lunch in the mind of a 3-year-old. This was made for me the other day.

Happy Friday! We haven’t had too much going on lately…so this is two weeks in one. 

We enjoyed a Labor Day party with our friends and family a couple weekends ago.  My little bathing beauty had a ton of fun in the pool.  I am sad to see summer go…but am definitely looking forward to fall weather and festivities!8
Alannah had a teddy bear party at daycare…

I found this adorable shirt at Target.  It’s perfect for Alannah…it has a “27” in the background, which is a special number in our household.  Josh thinks we should frame it…but Alannah wanted to wear it first. 
2

Daddy had to work all last weekend, so we had a lot of mommy-daughter time.  We went to the park…
3

Went to the mall and picked up our creations from Color-Me-Mine…
4 

And had an ice cream date at Cold Stone…
5 

We do a lot of teasing and joking around in our house.  Josh and Alannah like to tell each other that they smell like beef and cheese.  Alannah and I saw this at CVS…I thought it was pretty funny.  It was also funny that this was not in the refrigerated section.  Alannah asked if it was dog food.  Basically.

I’m back to regular hours this week, which means no more Fridays off.  Boo!  But these are back, and that makes me happy.

Alannah spent some time with daddy at the park this week and had some wild hair on the slide.

Another sign that summer is over…Alannah has preschool homework again…

I ordered a dog house from Amazon and it got shipped in a giant box.  Alannah has been enjoying that box a lot.  We got to see a horse concert…

This was her and her baby in their hotel…

The giant box has many uses.  I think we’ll save money this Christmas and just get her a few boxes. 

Happy Weekend!!

This week has been an eventful one.  I've been on vacation so we did some fun stuff! We spent our anniversary weekend in San Diego.


We were definitely grateful to escape the heat...

And take in this gorgeous view all weekend...

We ate at our favorite place, Rockin' Baja...


We took some drunk silly pictures of ourselves before our night out on the town...


And Josh did his best impression of The Situation...

We spent Sunday relaxing by the pool...

On Monday, some of our family met us in SD and we all went to Sea World...



On Wednesday we took a trip to the beach...




And made a memory jar with all of our finds...

Daddy had to go back to work today, so Alannah and I met up with my niece and sis-in-law for some painting at Color Me Mine...


It's been a fun and relaxing vacation.  But, as always, it has gone by too fast.  It's back to work on Tuesday for me :(  I can't believe summer is almost over! As much fun as it's been, I'm looking forward to fall! Happy Friday!
