Home

Why does my top row always look like this??? Too much Tupperware for this gal. I actually heard one of our guy friends say "Holy Tupperware!" When he opened the refrigerator last week. He was right. And this isn't the most exciting picture, I know. I feel like crap thanks to two of my first graders.

Finally!!!

I am finally up to date on all of my pictures!!!

This is my home away from home. Today I spent 11 hours of my day in this classroom. The year is coming along, but there is still a long way to go.

By the way, I can't believe I have already been doing this little project for sixty days. Wow. My life seems to be flying by...it needs to start slowing down NOW!

Our House

 So this little guy was a lovely wedding gift from one of Brian's groomsmen. Sadly this weekend we found out that his stream is no long flowing, just a little dripping. I guess we need to find him a doctor.

My House

Ok so the last pic was about food and so is this one. Yes, I love food. Tonight I made a ridiculous pesto sauce and for once I didn't make enough pasta. I always make too much pasta and the one night that I don't Brian wants more and there isn't any. Guess I will have to make it again.

My House

 OMG! This might be the best soup I have made. I found this recipe on The Pioneer Woman. You really need to make this. You're probably going to love it as much as Brian and I did.

The Joines House

Doggy lovin! Our friend Audriana got Z this toy and she wouldn't let it go. It always cracks me up how she holds a toy when she is on her back, kinda reminds me of a little baby.

Day 42
August 22, 2011
Home

 Back to reality for us. No more great dinners or fancy cars. As I retrieved my suitcase today at the airport I noticed BOTH handles had broken. Sadly my suitcase is done. This beat up thang has gone to some amazing places with me in the past four years since Brian and I started dating. Sad to see the poor thing go. I guess its on to the next one and new adventures.


Day 42
August 21, 2011
Pebble Beach, Ca

 On this day we had the pleasure of attending the most amazing car event the Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach. We had a private tour of the Ferrari GT's. I don't really know what to say about these cars, but they were a sight to see, lovely pieces of history.

I also really enjoyed seeing the first Mercedes Benz. They are just so classic and elegant looking. I took a ton of pictures, but these two were my favorite. I am sure they will be hanging in our house in the near future.

Day 41
August 20, 2011
L' Auberge Carmel, Ca

At this magnificent little place we took a cooking class along with lunch and wine pairing. Can you say YUM?? The chef had recently moved to Carmel from Chicago where he worked at Charlie Trotter. For lunch we had a prawn salad that we made, abalone, fresh sockeye salmon, and a chocolate torte. Loved IT!

Day 40

The Inn at Spanish Bay

In our hotel parking lot there was the most AMAZING cars I had ever seen. Not too often do you walk out of your hotel to a beauty like this. This  Buick was just over 100 years old. Wow! This was the first of many historic cars that I saw on this trip.

Time to play catch up. A few things have happened since my last post. My biggest problems is that MY computer decided to die and school has started which has left me with no time.

So here we go....

Santa Cruz, California

 On this day I golfed with the boys at Pasatiempo, a gorgeous course in Santa Cruz. I am starting to have a better appreciation  for golf. This place was unreal. All of the bunkers were very dramatic and the houses that lined the place were very unique/quaint. I could live here.

Day 38
August 17, 2011
San Francisco

 This was part of the view from our hotel at Le Meridian. We flew into San Fran before our stay at Pebble Beach. Brian and I had the night to walk around a bit and get dinner together before all the trip festivities began!

I truly love this little doggy. This night she could tell that we were packing for our trip. While I was packing she kept looking at me and I swear she was saying "Please don't go!"

Day 36
August 15, 2011
Goggin's House

This was my last day with my kids. I already miss my time with them so much. This day was the best day. Lilli was in one of her moods where everything was sunshine and rainbows. She didn't stop laughing or smiles for a full hour. I was able to take some of the most beautiful pictures of her. I especially like this one since she is looking right at the camera, with a full smile. Isn't she lovely?

The Barn

 Simon has a little friend at the barn named Lilly. She is his little shadow. Today I wanted a picture of my boy but someone else was looking too cute!
