My parents had work down in LA last week and this next week which meant that they could come see us for the weekend! I love when my parents come to visit! We went to Coronado for dinner to this little restaurant Tartine. So cute and so yummy!
After dinner we went down to the beach by the Hotel Del and just walked along the beach and walked around the hotel.

My parents are silly:)

Saturday we woke up and walked to Starbucks and then just took our time getting ready for the day. Once we were ready we started the drive to Aliso Viejo to meet my cousin's new baby! We made a few stops along the way like breakfast at Swami's Cafe the Crate and Barrel Outlet and the Rainbows Outlet. It was a good thing we didn't make more stops since we had about ten minutes at the Rainbow Outlet before they were trying to close!
Here are Andrew and I at breakfast. It was so hot on Saturday!! It got up to 110!! I was pretty much sweating all day!
Oh and my favorite thing to get there! It is the Acai Bowl! I have been dreaming about it since the last time I had it! It is a combination of granola and yogurt and fresh berries and bee pollen!
Then we finally got to meet baby Katelyn!! She is so cute and so mellow! Poor baby has jaundice right now though so she can only go as far as the lights will reach:(
My mama and baby Katelyn.

Doesn't she look so relaxed sleeping with her arms up! See her little therapy lights:( Everyone! It was fun to get to see my Auntie Joanne too who was visiting from Boston to help Kyle and Alissa! Katelyn is ready to eat in this picture! She has got her sights on mom!

Our friends Adam and Julia were out of town last weekend so we had their doggies over for part of the weekend! Lucy was in doggy heaven! She loves other dogs!



On some family news my cousin Alissa had her baby last Sunday! Isn't that the coolest father's day present! A brand new baby girl! Isn't she so sweet!

My grandparents celebrated their 59th wedding anniversary last week! Can you believe that! 59! I can't wait to celebrate 59 years with Andrew!

Villa Dall' Ava

I made this one for my model making class.  Its designed by renowned architect Rem Koolhaas and is located in Paris, France.  We got to pick a house to build for the final and I choose this one.  Its at 1/8" scale if you're wondering.

Oh four am comes really quick!! Here are the runners ready to go all geared up and coffee in hand!
Kelly is going strong at mile 12!
Andrew mile 12!
We saw a few of these
Kelly at mile 15! I can't imagine running even that far!
Andrew at mile 15!
Saw some more of these
Andrew at mile 22! His mom even jumped in and ran with him for a while.
They did it!!! They ran 26.2 miles!!!! They rocked the rock 'n' roll marathon!! I can't even believe it!!
Andrew's Uncle Bill and Aunt Sherrie even drove down to support him!

We are so proud of them! Shocked and amazed! I would have been the person who blacked out at mile 2!
Sporting the medal that he so deserves!! All those months and hours of training were worth it!
