Open your eyes!

I spent the weekend in Pueblo with the family and it was fantastic.  I have lots of pictures that I want to share, but these three are the most precious.  Below, I am trying to get a picture with Deezer and KK with their eyes open!

Attempt #1
KK is a very enthusiastic picture taker and always says "Chheeeeese!"

Attempt #2
Deezer coached KK a bit before this one and told her not to yell so hard when she smiled and that would help her eyes stay open...


Attempt #3
Getting frustrated at how many pictures I was making them take, Kennedee said "KK open your eyes like THIS!"

All You Can Eat Baseball

Believe it or not, there is an All You Can Eat section at the baseball stadiums down here! If that doesn't sound like the American Dream then I don't know what does!  Of course, I took "all you can eat" as a challenge!

I was feeling pretty disgusting about 20 minutes later...


Baseball: America's pastime. Do you want to know why? Because of Matt Kemps butt! I couldn't tell you what the score was, but I was always very interested right before the pitch.



Party!

Owen and Rory had a film event in North Hollywood at fancy hotel (on the roof!) As the girlfriends, Holli and I were obligated to get gussied up and support our boys.


As you can see, Holli and I don't know much about movies except for that we like to watch them.  While everyone else was talking on the roof about whatever movie making/acting stuff they were talking about, we were taking selfies in the bathroom mirror...


And partaking in a few choice adult beverages...

We even met up with a few friends on the tennis court (also on the roof) to make sure that the rum they were drinking wasn't poisonous....the things we do for the boys we love.

Arrowhead Lake

Owen, Jake, and I took a trip to Lake Arrowhead for Memorial Day.  I didn't get very many good pictures, so below are three pictures from the trusty Google that do the resort justice.  The "village" is very cute, a few little shops and adorable restaurants.  All of the architecture around the lake was similar and gave it a Germanish feel.  We spent the first day drinking beer at an eatery that overlooked the lake and breathing in the fresh pine air.






We ate dinner at the Saddleback Inn Steak House.  What was most interesting, was the utter chaos that was coming from the kitchen...we literally heard a guttural scream coming from the back, where moments later a sweaty, loud, and visibly flustered waiter sat us in the back by the kitchen.  I am very nosey, so I thought the drama was great- the food was good too!




Here is the best part of the whole trip: Lake Arrowhead is so high in the mountains that, on the way down, you literally look DOWN at the clouds.  It's one of the more majestic things I've seen.
