It's All In The Bag...

Nothing screams summer more than picnic time, well in my opinion. I am notorious for collecting cool picnic accessories and not picnicking....I can't help it. Crate and Barrel features some very unique, compact, and versatile pieces for a fun outdoor outing. Like this very cool table in a bag that rolls up for easy carrying. (This was previously part of my collection, I must re buy it). And take a look at this little mini grill cooler bag. this keeps your food cold while you transport it, then you set up shop and cook. too cool! Then there is the portable BBQ set it has everything you need to cook it up. And I just had to throw in these mini citronella torches, because nothing beats a little mood lighting when the sun sets.

Cool Signs!

Sitting around keeping my sis company, now that she is temporarily on bed rest, we are all finding new ways to entertain including giving my 2 year old niece the digital camera to snap away (see silly pictures above). we are all spending plenty of time watching TV and surfing the net. Thanks to this blog How about Orange for posting about Redkin. Redkin is a an entertaining site, where you can transform any phrase into a cool sign. Check mine out, this is a tribute to my soon-to-be Kaij who is keeping his mommy in a vertical position (seen here with her husband sharing a hospital bed). Note to Kaij: One day some lucky girl is going to be wearing an "I heart You" shirt just for you.... a girl besides your mom that is......

Rozatlan to Ensenada

AKA the original party on wheels...a 50 mile bike run that ends with a big party at the finish line; Ensenada. Posters advertising the race are plastered all over Ensenada (pictured here my nieces and nephews pointing at their dad's new adventure). Speaking of.... I have to give a big shout out to my brother, Alonso pictured here, for toughing it out the whole stretch without having to catch a ride on the SAG Wagon.

The event was held on April 21st and you can see pictured here what the aerial view was like. Next event will be held on September 29th and you can pre-register online for only $35. If you want more info click here, you'll have all your questions answered. As far as commiting to the race for the September timeline???? I'm in! I don't guarantee all 50 miles on the bike though, me and the SAG wagaon might be close friends by the end of the race :-)
