"Beach Bliss"

Our trip to Cali (Coronado Island & Del Mar) was WONDERFUL! The weather was AWESOME, the sound of the waves were RELAXING and I couldn't have imagined a more perfect weekend getaway. The girls spent there time building sandcastles, collecting sea shells and boogie boarding! Oscar did all the above plus some fishing and exploring of course. I did what I love most... Take pictures! I also enjoyed reading under my umbrella while listening to the sound of the waves. On our last day I was truly sad to have to say good bye... Here are some of my favorite pictures...

I love this shot of the girls!

We were very proud of the sandcastle we built together!

We were amazed at the sand sculptures we came across... Check out this shark!

Have you ever heard of "beach squirrels"? This little guy was so cute... at first! Then "they" got to really freak me out when he and all his buddies kept sneaking up on me! They were after my sunflower seeds and not a bit shy!

That's Oscar encouraging them to get closer... Err... I mean Oscar "The Squirrel whisper"!

I was glad to have my camera near when out of nowhere a flock of birds flew by!

No words... This picture speaks for its self...

What's more beautiful then watching a sunset into the ocean?

Off to the beach....

It has been 15 months since our last visit to the west coast... (That's a long time for us!) We are all super excited! So excited that we are considering leaving a day earlier... tomorrow! So with that being said... I gots to go get packing!

Greeters Dinner

Yesterday evening Sis. Vanessa & Sis. Joanne hosted a dinner for all the church greeters. The food was delicious and the fellowship was sweet. I espesially loved all the extra touches they put into making everything so personable. Like the name settings tied around twinkies and placed on top of fabric tissue holders hand sewn by Sis. V. She sewed each one keeping in mind each greeters favorite color scheme. Here as some picts of our evening...

9th year Anniversary

Yesterday, July 4th marked 9 years of marriage for Oscar and I. We celebrated on Saturday with a "Stay-cation" at the Hilton in Scottsdale. We started our day out with a little shopping and found some great bargains at our favorite consignment shops. Oscar took me on a ritzy home tour and even showed me one of the houses he helped remodel. Then we were off to our favorite pizza place... Grimaldis! Mmm Mmm good! After lunch we got the BEST massages! This was Oscar's first time getting a massage and I think he may be hooked! We agreed that if we were billionaires we'd definitely have our own personal masseuse! Later we went back to the hotel for a dip in the pool to help cool us down from the AZ heat. Our evening ended after a 3 hour action packed movie... Transformers! So romantic huh! lol! Our day was filled with fun but the best part of it all was just being able to spend it with my best friend.... Te amo mucho Oscar...
