My Sisters Beautiful House

I have been telling friends for years how beautiful my sister has her house decorated and organized. Every time we get to go visit she has made even more lovely improvements to the house. I didn't get a picture of the nursery or my nephews room due to them being re-decorated. I sometimes think about moving back to TX and me going into business doing home decor with my sister. Well time will only tell but here are some pictures of my sister's really well decorated house.Celeste thanks for letting take pictures of the house!

Last trip to San Diego

I had planned on posting my pictures of our last San Diego trip sooner...however Andy bought me a new laptop the day before he headed off to Embassy school and I was at a lost on uploading my photos with the new laptop. Finally my good friend walked me through it over the phone...so thanks Tiff. We had a great time in San Diego despite the fact it was way to cold to go to the beach and swim. It was funny because as we left Yuma and the weather was like 98 and then we drive less than 3 hrs to arrive in 65 degree weather. It is so very refreshing....I love the feeling of being chilled just a little!! We meet up with my cousin Jenni who flew in from TX. It was her very first time to visit California. I know she thought it was beautiful but I know she was bummed about the lack of sun in sunny California. The 2 resorts we stayed in were very nice. The one we stayed in in the Gas Lamp district was so nice and had the coolest modern furniture. I loved the warm rich colors they used to do the room. We did a variety of things to keep busy...but I know that we all really enjoyed going to Knotts Berry Farm. Eliana was so brave and rode every thrill ride in the park minus one I rode first and then deemed way to intense for her. We are going to miss taking off and going to beautiful San Diego but who knows maybe we will get a country where we can do some great traveling.

Elias's Birthday Party

Well we went ahead and had Elias's birthday party early again...due to the fact that Andy will be gone for his real birthday and my mom was already in town. It was funny to finally get to throw him his Dinosaur party. I have had the decorations for his party for almost 4 years...lol. I had them left over from when I wanted to start my party planning business back in Richmond,Tx. I just had to hold on to the stuff...it was way too cute not to save for him. I think the party was a big hit with the kiddos. Elias is such my little man and I hate to see that he is growing up so fast. I know most moms start to realize they are not babies anymore by the age 2 or so but it really was not until this year I started to get the "he's not my baby anymore blues" so maybe after we get settled in the new country we will start on baby #3.
