Shopping with Max & Dylen

When Ryan, Misty, Dylen and Max came down for the wedding we took the kids to the mall to build-a-bear. It was pretty cute to see how excited they got! My favorite part of the evening was watching my dad play with Dylen in Old Navy, they were pretending that the tables were forts. It was pretty cute and funny. I also put in some pictures of Bean's flower girl gifts and Max's ring bearer gifts. It was super fun to have them down here!!

Spa Day!!

Before the wedding Brooke treated me to a day at the spa!! We went to La Costa Resort & Spa and there totally pampered ourselves. I got a massage, wrap and a boy scrub, it was heavenly!! We relaxed, had lunch, spent time in the pools and saunas and seriously had the best day ever!! Thanks Brooke, you're the best!!

Wedding Prep

A couple of days before the wedding we as ladies had some grooming rituals to take care of like getting our nails done and practicing our make-up for the big day. I was accomapnied by a few of my bridesmaids (Melody, Brooke and Jen) and my mom even showed up at the salon to chat with us. It was pretty fun getting all dolled up in preparation for the big day. Mel and I spent the rest of the day shopping and doing other fun girl things. I really did have the best bridesmaids! Thanks ladies for making my time so special!!

Home sick :(

I have been home sick this week with the cold/flu/whatever it is that has been going around. Ken was sick last week and it seems like it has been circulating around my office. I tried to go back to work today, but only lasted a couple of hours before I was sent home to sleep. I feel pretty horrible, the only good part has been how sweet Ken has been. He came home from work the other day with a bouquet of flowers for me and has been stopping at the store everyday to get what I need and made me yummy dinners! He has been so wonderful, even on the little sleep he is getting due to my coughing and sneezing all night long. I really am lucky to have such a wonderful husband and I love him very much! If this is what marriage is all about I really have been missing out all these years! I love being taken care of!

The Right Stuff!!

That's right, NKOTB, The Block or as we die hard fans of twenty years still like to call them...NEW KIDS ON THE BLOCK are back and better than ever!!!!!! I know I'm lame but I really have been a fan of this 5 member boy band since I was a kid, in fact my 10 year birthday party was a tribute to them, especially my favorite and love at that time Jordan, his falsetto still makes a girl swoon!! My friend Katie took me to their concert about a week ago, there we met up with our friends Megan and Carrie. All I can say was that it was freakin' AMAZING!!!!!!!!! Those boys (or men now;)) can perform!!!!!!! It was probably the best concert I have ever been to!!!!! I left totally hoarse. We were all standing, singing and dancing throughout the entire concert, I pretty much felt like I had given the concert by the end and was pretty proud of us all for remembering all of the old lyrics. They did an awesome job of switching off between old and new songs and yes girls, they even did their old dance moves (sigh)! It was a pretty much a number one night ending with a wave out back by Jonathan to Katie and I, that's right, we rock! Most of you are probably laughing by now or truly embarrassed to know me, but I don't care, I'm a New Kids fan and I don't care who knows it, hahaha, I even left the concert having bought an old school style t-shirt! Ken's a lucky man to have a wife with such great taste in music, hahaha. Seriously though, the show was so great that even non-fans (if there are any?!) would leave already anticipating the next concert!! Hey boys, you've definitely got the right stuff, keep on hangin' tough!!!

Happy ThanksVegas!



Ken and I had a very non-traditional Thanksgiving in Las Vegas. We flew out for four days and stayed at the Mandalay Bay. There we spent time relaxing, seeing shows, riding rides and visiting the other Casinos. I spent a day at the spa and thoroughly enjoyed myself!! We went and saw Zumanity, a Cirque de Soleil show at New York New York and celebrated Thanksgiving by going to the Tournament of Kings at Excalibur. We even went to Minus 5, a lounge made entirely of ice, talk about cold!! All in all it was a super relaxing holiday! Even though we missed our families, we had a great time just being together and celebrating our new little family!! We hope everyone enjoyed Thanksgiving as much as we did and want you all to know that we are truly grateful for all of the wonderful people in our lives and that we love you all!!! Happy Turkey Day!
