Anniversary Follow-up

Claron and I had a great anniversary. We went out to dinner at Fresco Cafe, while Eliza stayed with our friends and played games by fire light. I also made Claron a card this year. Claron is famous for his homemade cards. I am famous for recycling Claron's cards without his knowledge. It is a long standing joke of ours. Claron also got me some lillies and perfume. I got him a tie... oh and a daughter.

Snow in Santa Barbara?

On Saturday, we went to the zoo for the Snow Leopard Festival. It was a lot of fun. They had snow! They also gave the snow leopard some snow and packed meat in it. He was really active. Eliza had a great time!

Beach Park Day

On Saturday, we went to the park at the beach. I thought Claron was furiously working on his paper, so we were trying to waste time.

Catch-up: Tucson Thanksgiving in Pictures

7 Years

Seven years ago today on a cold, snowy December morning, I married the love of my life. He is caring, kind, sweet, forgiving, loving, passionate, tender and giving. I am thankful every day for my dear Claron. Happy anniversary, honey!

In a strange turn of events, my friend, Kristy and her fiance (now husband) Chopper, also got married that day... in the same temple... at the same time! We did not plan this. Happy anniversary, Kristy & Chopper!

A different kind of Princess

This is Princess. She is my Nana's EIGHTEEN year old cat. Eliza loves her.

Fun with Trader Joes

Dear Trader Joes,

Are you aware that even tall toddlers/preschoolers fit in one of your handy-dandy bags? Well, apparently Eliza is.

With love,

Monsters Vs. Aliens

Eliza loves the movie Monsters vs. Aliens. I would rate it just alright. The other day she was casting for the movie. Here are her decisions:

Girl knows what is going on. Raaaawwwwr!!!

Finally, a BREAK... maybe

This has been a rough trip, but a great trip. One of the downers is that Eliza spilled orange soda all over her car seat. I washed the cover, but the yellow is a bit more orange. This would definitely fix it.
