i'm here!

Hello friends! I'm here! And without the internet. Boo. The last week was so full with disneyland trips, beach time, making halloween costumes, and halloween festivities... so being without internet probably came at a good time. And the weather has felt like summer! I really don't mind the 80 degree weather at all! Sweater season will come soon enough. I can't wait to post our halloween fun! Anyone else dressing up this halloween? 

p.s. I'm looking forward to take my "mom tax" from Krew's halloween treats. :)

red rock and happy hearts

This past weekend we traveled up to St. George to celebrate the life of great grandma Rondo. It was great to see so much family together and in such a beautiful place. Unfortunately, Krew and I were a little sick and sleepless but we managed to hold through. Of course we miss Grandma but it was a beautiful weekend there, truly filled with so much peace and love. She led a beautiful life for all of us to follow. And Grandpa Rondo is as chipper as ever! He's 88 years old and a happy guy who we are so thankful for. We hope to see him visit down in San Diego a little more. :) So grateful for family.

just a click away from complete embarrassment

As I pulled up into the parking lot of where I would start my run, I swiped open my phone to see where Krew had left off from playing with it earlier. I had let Krew play with my phone while I was in a hurry to get ready to meet my mom for a run. Krew knows how to operate my phone quite a bit but I also do try to regulate the time he spends on it. Well, later when I opened up to see what Krew was playing with I giggled because I realized he had been in the last stage before "publish" on my instagram. How funny if he posted a little photo he took! Wouldn't that be cute! ... how cute... and then I looked closer... and I realized it was me... my naked back side!!... changing before I went running! I hurried and pushed "back" about 10 times as my heart was racing. The photo went back to "filters" which made it easier and larger to see and it was a clear picture of me and my bare bum!!!! AHHH! I pushed the "X" and of course "Yes, I am SURE I do NOT want to publish this photo" and off it disappeared. I checked my profile 10 times more to make sure that he hadn't posted another one and luckily he hadn't. The thought of him posting a photo of me half naked on my profile was awful! I would have had no idea! Only one little "publish" click and it would have been done. Please tell me you would have been my friend and text/called me to ask what an earth I was doing!!
Since then not only am I continuing to regulate his playtime on my phone, he is also not allowed to use it while mommy is indecent. :) Boy, that could have been bad.

boss man

I have a bossy little man ordering me around the house this morning. Good thing he's taking a nap right now so I can have a happier little man later. The house is (mostly) clean, no running scheduled for today (hooooray!), and the weather is nice... what are we going to do with our Friday?! Well, the possibilities were endless until I realized my wallet is across town. So I guess we'll be going to get that and maybe a visit to the park. Happy friday!

and where's the burger?

I once had a pinterest board that was named "looks good but I'll probably never make it" for recipes that made me hungry. Then after a while I decided to change it because I changed my ways and tried a few. I have nothing against recipes, I'm just more of a figure-out-what-to-make-30-minutes-before-dinner kind of woman. This week I decided to switch it up a bit and plan ahead for a few meals. I'm trying out these zucchini's with tomato + basil + cheese, this chickpea + tomato salad, and last night I made these delicious asiago portobello burgers pictured above (not my photo though). When I told Cameron that we were having portobello mushroom burgers he asked, "And where's the burger?" But once he tried it he was pleasantly surprised. I'm already excited to have these again soon.

Have you made tried anything yummy lately? Please share!

And last week I make this baked chicken with onions, potatoes, garlic, and thyme that was delicious! But isn't everything good from Martha??

to the ball game!

 

I have been waiting to go to the baseball game all summer long and since summer (weather) is still here and my parents gave Krew an adorable baseball-themed present for his birthday, it was time to go! Last weekend of the season, folks! We stalked up on candy and treats, Krew was so excited for something he had never actually been to, and Cameron was ready to watch a good game! And I... well I don't really stick to the game but I love going! It's the atmosphere, right?! It's exciting and sure I'll watch a bit of the innings but I'm here for the full experience! Little Krew clapped for every good play even if it was for the other team. :) It was such a fun little family date.

And Krew loved that we took the trolley there and back! 

This is one happy little fan! Go Padres!
