One photo 3 ways

This is the original...

This is me being fancy with my camera...

This first one is my personal favorite...



That's all! Hope you enjoyed it!!

San Francisco Pier 39




Ah good old Pier 39! We could not go to California and not go visit the pier! So on Saturday night, after the reception me and mom drove up to San Fran! On our way in, I caught a great view of Alcatraz from the bridge (it's the little island out in the bay)


View of downtown from the freeway..


This next pic is just as we entered the pier, it's the view from the upper deck!


Tons of shops and so much to do!!


Then me and mom had to see the sea lions!!!!



And the view from the warf was amazing...



Sooooo pretty!!
Anyways we got hungry and decided to stop at Bubba Gump Shrimp for a nice dinner:)









Best shrimp I ever had! Hands down;) so delicious!!!
I picked Jax up a little Alcatraz jailbird hoodie at a gift shop. He looks so cute in it!!


And that was our visit to Pier 39

California dreaming

I know I need to catch up..



So last weekend me and my mom went to California for my cousin Katrina's wedding. We arrived on Friday morning and went right to work! We helped bake cakes, cut fruit/veggies, and help make taco soup. We decorated tables, and helped put the reception together.
Saturday was the wedding and me and mom woke up super early to dip tuxedo and bride strawberries..



They came out super cute huh?!



Then we had to go back to the hotel to change and get ready for the wedding, and we just barely made it! Here's me and my mom after at the reception:



My Auntie Ro and uncle Rod (parents of the bride)



And here's the newlywed couple! Katrina and Adrian Fernandez:



Here's a nice view of how everything looked, and the bride and groom dancing...



All in all it was a super cute wedding and it was so much fun to see all my aunts and cousins again:)
Back at the hotel, I texted kisses back to my boys at home, I sure missed them!!!



And that was my cousin Katrina's wedding:)

Silly songs with Daddy

First off, I know it's been a long time since I posted, so to make up for it, I'll post lots of stories:)

We'll start with the oldest and work our way up to most recent.
Our old rocking chair broke a few weeks ago, and I got this sweet new rocking recliner on KSL for only $50! We love it, and so does Jackson:)


-next thing you should know is Jackson loves going in daddy's office (or mancave as he calls it) and sitting in the office chair:)


Lol! Next item of discussion is how much Jackson loves listening to, and dancing to music! He shakes his booty and waves his hands and I can't stop laughing! The other week he discovered my headphones, and realized that sound came out of the ear buds! How amazing:)


Jax also loves walking around with the colored plastic toy rings around his feet. Only heaven knows why he thinks this is cool..


And you can also see how messy he makes my house!
Even though most days he makes me crazy, I still love him to death and can't get enough hugs and kisses to save my life!
Next item of business: fixing things. The following is a true story. The other day Jackson went to the kitchen and came back with my hand mixer (just the base, cuz I keep the beaters separate). He was carrying it around and playing with it. A few minutes later he was back out in the kitchen, and I was trying desperately to clean up his mess. He starting whining, so I went to go see what he wanted and he was pointing to my gadget drawer where I keep spatulas and whisks and things. So in order to keep him happy while I cleaned up, I opened the drawer and went back to cleaning. A few minutes later I come out to find this...


Hard at work....


Not only did he find my hand mixer base, he managed to find the beaters in a drawer stuffed full of kitchen gadgets!! And he knew exactly how they went together! I was totally amazed. How does he even know those go together? He's too smart for his own good!!
The last story for this post goes a little something like this: "riding on the foot, riding on the foot, riding on the foot, the foot, the foot, the foot"
Oh the silly songs that daddy makes up to keep our bug entertained! Lol
