More Fun in LA!


So obvious just hanging out at the beach was not good enough for us, so we decided to drive an hour to Six Flags Magic Mountain... bad idea!

About 30 min into the drive, our car started making a horrible scrapping sound... definitely bad news. Apparently one of the bolts for the support underneath our car got loose and started scrapping the ground. There was really no where to pull over, so we quickly got out of the car and started walking so there would be less weight, while my hubby continued to drive to try to exit.

Let me remind you again that this was all happening while we were on the freeway, and we definitely caused some major traffic. It only took about 5 min before the freeway tow truck showed up along with a couple of cops. They were really nice and towed our car for free and gave us a ride to the gas station.

Luckily my husband is super great at fixing cars, so he quickly borrowed some tools from the gas station and fixed the car with Ilya all in time for us to still make it to Six Flags!

Fun in the *Sun


We went to LA this past weekend and had a great time just reLaxing in the Sand!

It actually wasn't even planned, but since my hubby and I have been working sooo hard lately we decided that we needed a vacation. My sis aLLa and her Bf Ilya just decided to tag along too LoL!

We didn't really do anything too special, just spent most of the days going to the beach. The weather was a little cloudy and the water was freezing, but we still had to go splashing in the waves and got pretty nice tans {except for my hubby & Ilya, who ended up looking like crabs}

Speaking of crabs... My hubby {the explorer that he is Lol} spend much of his time catching crabs and looking for starfish.


There was so many of them but they were really hard to get!


Here's my hubby risking his Life and trying to beat the crashing waves to get a starfish for me... Awww how sweet ;)


Of course I had to get a couple of pics too...


Nothing more reLaxing than having your toes in the sand and the fresh breeze running through your hair... ahhhh this is the Life!

Doing A Victory Dance!

Le Pink SandaLs

Went shopping for Mother's Day on Friday and again on Monday, but ended up buying more stuff for myself than my mom... Yes I know how selfish!

I did manage to buy my mom-in-Law a super cute white Kathy Van Zeeland Purse... It's the perfect gift for her because she's been looking for a good white purse for a while now. My mom on the other hand should have been easier to shop for, but I still can't figure out what to get her.

...She already has tons of purses in every color

...I'm not allowed to buy her any clothes, because I always buy the wrong size and style

...She's picky about jewelry

...I already bought her tons of make-up, body lotions, and hair products

...She has a lot of picture frames and albums

...Ughhhh I'm stuck and I would definitely appreciate any suggestions!

At least I didn't leave the mall empty handed... I ended up buying myself a pair of very cute & elegant earrings.
Bath and Body wall plug-ins {Sweet Pea, my fav}
And the most adorable pink Sandals!


And of course I had to try them out right away {Even though it was raining}

Show Us Where You Live Friday!

Kelly at Kelly's Korner is Hosting Show Us Where You Live Friday {Kitchen Edition} and although I'm a little late with my post, I decided to do it anyways! So I finally made the time to kind of get my kitchen in order and take some pics. Since we rent our condo and can't change the wall color or make too many holes LoL, its not exactly my dream kitchen but its fine for now. We moved in right after our wedding about 1 1/2 years ago and have been living here ever since. Right now we are in the process of looking to buy our first home, but until there this is what we call Home Sweet Home.
