Tuesday with Taylor

Today was my Tuesday with Taylor so we headed to the mall for a girls' day. We watched about an hour of the movie Rango (not fans of this movie), had some fun int he photo booth in the movie theatre, and hung out at the mall for a while. Fun day with my girl!

The Little Gym- Marina's Birthday

Today we celebrated Marina's 3rd Birthday at The Little Gym and boy, our little girl is showing us just how she is growing up so different from our (my) expectations. She is out little athlete now!!!

Birthday weekend in Palm Dessert

I decided to forego our annual camping trip to Anza Borrego this year for my birthday and instead, enjoy a relaxing, pampered-rich weekend in Palm Desert at a resort which is one of BJ's job sites. Ahhhh, the beauty of having an architect for a husband. It was a WONDERFUL weekend! It is calling my name again very soon, as I got sick teh last day and couldn't make it to my spa treatment which my mom bought for me. Guess I have to go back and use that gift certificate sometime soon!

In the pool the minute we arrived!
