Bocce Ball & Wine Tasting

 {No not football, Bocce Ball}

{My two favorite people}

Summer days have been heating up in Fresno! We've been BBQing, sipping wine to stay cool, and enjoying the evening breeze!

Happy Birthday Joe!

Two Saturday nights ago, my sister, Joe, Aaron and I went to dinner at Yosemite Ranch, and for dessert at Marble Slab. We were celebrating Joe's birthday before Melaney and he were off to Colorado with Joe's family. Guys, count me in on the next vacation that doesn't include hiking, I prefer laying by the beach sipping a margarita.

Good News and Bad News

So the good news, actually GREAT news, is that the hubs is much better and was able to come home! His lung function has improved and he's back to real life. Hooray! I was really missing him at home. I spent the weekend up in Palo Alto with him and we enjoyed the cool weather. One night we escaped the hospital to indulge in my favorite treat, Sprinkles.More pictures to come...but this leads me to my bad news, my laptop was STOLEN! I know I'm devastated! Mostly because I'm not very good at backing up my pictures. Kicking myself for that one. I'm praying I can some how try and retrieve most of my pictures from different sites. If you have any picture retrieving advice let me know. Thank goodness for this blog, now I must search for the three years before that!

26th Birthday Weekend: Part 1

I got spoiled like crazy for my birthday weekend in Southern California. Aaron and I drove down Saturday night and stopped in Santa Monica for dinner. We ate sushi at Ozumo on the Promenade. It was so good, and we ended the meal with fruit and chocolate fondu. So festive!

Sunday morning was my official birthday! In the morning we ate at Ruby's Crystal Cove for the first time it was so good! We attempted to eat at all new places in Newport since we go so frequently we decided we needed to branch out!

The view was amazing from lunch.

We walked down to the beach and enjoyed the sand and breeze.

After our day in the sun we shopped at Fashion Island and went back to the hotel to get ready to see Chicago in Hollywood. I was so excited my best friend was joining us. We were ready for a night on the town.

We drove into Hollywood and grabbed dinner across from the theater. Christy Brinkley starred in the show. It was so entertaining! The songs, acting, and dancing was great. We loved every minute. 

When we got out of the theater Hollywood was hopping! We decided the night was young why not walk the streets a little and check out the stars? We had so much fun walking and looking for our favorite celebrities while enjoying the night life. We walked to the Chinese Theater and embraced all the crazy people dressed up on the streets. It was a night to remember! Here are a few of my favorite stars...
