Lazy or Busy? Anyway, long update post

I suppose I have been extremely lazy with posting since my last post was approximately two days from a month ago. OOPS! Well there is plenty to update on since my short but amazing trip to San Diego. Here are a few pictures to bring things a bit closer to "recent."
Seal Beach La Jolla

The smell of the ocean reminds me of home

How does one take a picture with a seal?

Down to Sunny Jim Cave

Relaxing at home

Story time with Ella

Feeding Kira lunch

Playtime outside with the hose

The squealing excitement was so adorable!

Cruising with teething biscuit in the pie-hole

Off-shore kayaking La Jolla shores

All wet after flipping over on the way in haha!

I guess that will cover the San Diego trip. Kayaking was amazing I totally want to purchase my own. We went on a group tour with La Jolla Kayak since it was our first time out in the open ocean. But I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. Since being home to Tucson I have been working and mentally preparing myself for back to school. I have only 3 semesters left and I am going to be busting my way through them working hard for every grade. Summer indeed flew by. Working really does soak all the time up like a sponge. Time to get back to the grind in just a few short weeks.

As for other interesting things, I spotted my first Tarantula outside of a plastic container the other day. In front of Jeremy's house! We were returning from an evening of cosmic bowling with his work friends when I spotted him on the front walkway. I was okay with him mainly because he was outside and doing his own thing, helping us by eating bad bugs :). He blends pretty well with the rocks. But he's a big one thats for sure.


So over the weekend my love and I ran some errands, which is always fun. Among other things we went to Mesquite Valley Growers nursery to buy some herbs/plants to put in the kitchen windowsill. The house finally has some life to it! We ended up with Rosemary, Basil, and some tropical random plant with a strange name I can't recall. :) Modeling the fabulous Kelly, I decided to name them!



From left to right: Maria, Roberto, and Francis.

So I plan on looking up recipes beyond chicken or potatoes and pesto to use Maria and Francis with. Suggestions? As for Roberto, he is just a looker.
