(picture from Pinterest- I couldn't find a link to where these chairs come from!! I am sure someone made them )

How fun would it be to have a couple of these chairs out by the pool??? ;)

This is so me right now, but I think mine should say,  "Having to put a great book down to do things like sleep or eat or talk to my family....  ;)


I have been on a romantic comedy kick- so easy to just download a book to my kindle.  I think the books are called "chick lit" -  they are quick reads, usually about 300 pages.  I have finished 5 in the last week and a half....


I know, total nerd....

 

 

Riley was recognized today at her school assembly, twice.  Once for Math Academics and another time for an essay that she wrote.  She knew we wanted to take pictures, so the first picture is her hiding her face...nice huh?  When she finally looked at us, I stuck my tongue out and got her to smirk.

She made me promise to tell Mark not to shout out her name or yell- that would so embarrassing.  She is so me, except I would never say anything to my parents, because then my dad would have done those things just to embarrass me.

We had a quick trip to San Diego this past weekend for Jake's soccer tournament.  We stayed at the Loews Coronado Hotel-   It was a nice enough hotel.  We were able to either walk or get a golf chart ride to the beach to watch the tournament so it was great that it was so close.

We ate at the The Burger Lounge in Coronado.  I have to say that I ate the best vegetarian burger ever!  It was made with quinoa, so now I am on a search for a good recipe.  Everyone else loved their food- the french fries were delicious and addicting!

The best part of the trip for Tanner & Jake was going to the Wave House.  Tanner made the reservations before we got there and once Jake saw the "Flow Rider" he wasn't so sure he wanted to do it. They wouldn't refund us the money so I was pretty upset that Jake was backing out of it -  But once he saw that some girls his age were going to do it, he decided he could do it too

Found this recipe on Pinterest and tried it this past weekend.  It was okay.  I think next time I would substitute the condensed can of soup for something else- sour cream maybe?   It was definitely better the next day when I warmed it up for lunch.  Maybe the flavors just needed to blend together longer?
