Balboa Park San Diego

February is Museum Month in San Diego. If you pick up a free pass at a participating Macy's, you get half price admission to over a dozen museums in the San Diego area. So one Saturday morning, we drove out to see the San Diego Air and Space Museum.

It was really cool!

Kayla and Daddy "flying!"

She was very upset that the Red Baron exhibit was roped off and she couldn't touch Snoopy.

Then we found a helicopter to climb into and explore!

Playing inside the Kid's Aviation Action Hangar...

Once we had lunch at the Air and Space Museum, we were ready to find another museum to explore. As we wandered through Balboa Park, we discovered the International Cottages. So of course we stopped by to visit Sweden and China so Kayla could see her heritage!


Then we went on to explore the Museum of Man. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures, but it was really neat. They even had a real Egyptian mummy on dispay! We had a fun-filled day in sunny San Diego!

Christmas 2011

It's an annual tradition to go see the Wildlights at The Living Desert.

And this year Santa Claus was there! Kayla was too shy to tell him what she wanted for Christmas, but at least she didn't cry and I got a decent picture.

Christmas morning, our stockings were stuffed with treats from Santa!

All day long, we played with our new toys.



I love this picture of Santa's little helper!

Candy Cane Lane

Nothing's more fun at Christmastime than a stroll down Candy Cane Lane in Cathedral City!



After we were done, we enjoyed some hot chocolate in the car before driving home.

The Astle Group Holiday Seminar

We hosted a client appreciation dinner party at The IW Club. To add to the festivities, we had a Closest to the Pin golf contest (which Devin won 2nd place) and an Ugliest Christmas Sweater contest!

I'm so lucky I work for such a fun team!

Thanksgiving 2011

My mom came down to visit for Thanksgiving and stayed for two weeks. We had so much fun with Paw-Paw!

While she was here, she helped us get some of our Christmas decorations up.

And she babysat Kayla while Devin and I attended my friend Valerie's wedding. It was so beautiful at the La Quinta Civic Park with the duck pond in the background.

The reception was at the new Embassy Suites. Me, Sonya, and Debbie had a great time!

Halloween 2011

Most little girls are obsessed with Disney Princesses, but not Kayla. She LOVES fairies, especially Tinkerbell! So naturally she was a green fairy for Halloween. The best part about her costume was the skirt which had fiber-optics that sparkled in the dark with the push of a button! Daddy stayed home to pass out candy while Kayla and I went trick-or-treating around our neighborhood. She got the hang of it quick and had so much fun.
