Reese's First Trip To The Coast!

Last saturday we headed over to Morro Bay, CA where it was a cool 60 degrees during the day. (60 degrees!) Needless to say, we were stoked to get away from the heat wave in Bakersfield for a weekend. We caught up with some old neighbors, pet animals at Avila Ranch, and had the BEST pizza ever @ Klondikes in Arroyo Grande.

Im Getting Old......

Today is my little cousin's 21st birthday. I woke up this morning realizing how old I'm getting. Where has the time gone?

PS- I will be posting pics from the beach soon :)

A New Journey

So, my morning started out a little rough. My alarm decided not to wake me up this morning and my kid wanted to sleep an extra hour I guess, THUS making me late for work.

Things started to look up though, because when I got to work my boss brought me into his office to talk about a new venture Im planning on taking here in the near future.

Ive decided to go back to school this fall for Registered Nursing. It's always been an interest of mine to get into that field, but I've never really done anything about it. Today I finally got the ball rolling. The whole program takes about 4 years to complete. I have 2 years of general education & pre-requisites, then once those are completed I can finally enroll full-time in the Nursing Program. Most of the classes will be taken online for my gen. ed. & pre-reqs, but there will be some that will only be available during the day, hence the need to talk to my boss.

All in all, I have a good feeling about where this will take me.

A look back........

I was just thinking today about how big my little man has gotten, and frankly, it makes me a little sad. I LOVE his personality and how he's trying to be so independent, but it breaks my heart that he's not my new little baby I just brought home from the hospital anymore. So I thought I'd share one of his first photos ever taken.

He was such a BIG newborn :)

Wednesday Morning

GO YANKEES!!!

This past Saturday, Justin, myself, Liz, and her husband David all went to the Yankees vs. Angels game down in Aneheim @ the Angels Stadium. (Liz watches Reese while Im at work) We had a care-free, baby-free day full of baseball, beer, & boobs (haha). We also went to Hooter's after the game for some hotwings & fries (thats where the boob part comes in). Even though the Yankees lost (*tear*) the day was SO fun and I cant wait to go back! This was the first baseball game I had ever been too and Im so excited to go to more. I had so much fun rooting for my team and just hanging out with some good friends :) Below are some highlights of the day! Enjoy :)

Happy Birthday America!

So, since this is my first post, I thought Id start off by sharing our first Fourth of July adventure! I admit I was actually dreding the fireworks because Reese doesnt really like loud noises. But low and behold, he LOVED them! I even caught him yelling at them a few times :) We spent the afternoon at my best friend Nikki's In-Laws. We did some bbqing and some swimming, then everyone headed out front to light off the hundreds of fireworks that everyone brought over. Here's a few pics of the day:
