{You Scream, I Scream, We All Scream for Ice Cream..}

I promised my nieces that I would take them to Thrifty's with a couple of their friends for a photo shoot. We had the best time. I found these cute shirts and socks at Target and they furnished the rest. They happened to all have converse shoes which worked out great. The only thing I didn't anticipate were they four boys that also decided to tag along. Of course I had to buy them all ice cream too. All I can say is....8 kids, 16 scoups of ice cream, boys dressed like dorks, girls as cute as can be, 1 adult all by herself, people staring, 100 degree heat...PRICELESS!!!







Would you go in public with boys that look like this? Headbands with matching glasses. You gotta love it..

{Bob's Big Boy..Burbank, California}

This is a continuation from my last post about some of my favorite places to eat in Cali. If you have never been to Bob's you have to go. It's been around since 1949 and there are only a few left. This is the original Bob's and sometimes you might see a star or two. My boys swore they saw a star but they didn't know who he was. Guess he isn't that famous. We once saw Drew Carey in there eating and working on his computer. If you decided to go, make sure you get The Original Big Boy Combo, you won't regret it. When you done eating make sure you get a hot fudge cake for desert(yummy)! There's nothing like having your own traditions that you can pass along to your kids. It's the little things in life that make it worth living, and this is one of them.



This is what the double-decker hamburger looks like inside. I added the avacado..



You do not want to pass up this little dessert, Hot Fudge Cake!!!


This is my son posing with Bob himself. He's holding a Big boy hamburger that were taking to Texas with us. Were determinded to get it to his friend who asked we bring it back..Let's hope it's not to gross by the time we get it back there..


This was our last stop on our why home to Texas. It's always hard saying goodbye to family.

Did we get the hamburger back in one piece? Well.....of course, I can't say I would have eaten it myself but good ol' Phillip was determinded to try it. He said it was the best hamburger he's every eaten. I can tell you it was sticking together when we pulled it out of the container and was a little smushed, didn't look to appealing but he ate it anyways..

{Califonia Dining...}

I am in sunny California for a few more days. I was born and raised here so of course I have some favorite eating spots. Now these places are not fine dining, their just places I went as a kid and now my kids also go here. I like to pass on some kind of tradition even if it is at fast food joints. Please keep in mind these were taken with my little point and shoot.This is El Pollo Loco which has the best BRC Burritos around. Beans, rice and cheese. Their also known for their chicken and fresh tortillas.


Who doesen't love Tommy Burgers, that would be me..If you want food with lots of chili on it this is the place. My son loves their chili dogs.


Seth had a hard time finishing this..


DEL TACO!!! I cannot say enough about this place. It kills Taco Bell and Taco Bueno. They have the best red burritos and quesdilla's ever. I swear we must have eaten here everyday. That would explain why we look like chunky burritos..


O.K., this is the best ice cream ever. Thrifty used to be a drug store when I grew up. Now it's called Rite Aid, but if you go in they still have the ice cream station there. You can't beat getting a double scoop for a $1.69. Of course when I grew up a triple was $.75 just shows I'm getting old.





I think the boys are enjoying there ice cream..





Western bagel the best bagels around!!!


Chi Chi's is down here in Saugus which has been around forever. The same pizza maker is still working there from when I was a kid. Best salads and pasta around. We went here first after getting off the plane..It's a must have...

{Summer Time Fun}

Summer Time Fun:

Thank heavens for having a pool. It can be such a lifesaver especialy since the kids have been bored since school got out. As you can tell the kids are having a great time. I had asked the older kids if they could all squirt water out of their mouth at the same time. They could never seem to do it in sync. As you can tell they had more fun spitting in each other's faces. I love it when they are goofy and just ack like kids.

Thanks Phillip for the spit in the face..

Seth with Rodney in our pool..

Aren't these the cutest little bodies ever..

On the count of three everyone jump..


This is my Blake with a girls headband on..

{Sneak peak for Sheila}

I had the pleasure of taking pictures of this wonderful family. I had the best time with Raina who is 4 1/2 and full of energy. I seriously can not get over how cute she is. She has the prettiest blue eyes which she got from her mother. As I'm sitting her processing her pictures I hate to get rid of any because she doesen't take a bad picture. Makes me want to have a daugther, which won't be happening anytime soon(per my husband). Sheila I hope you enjoy these.

{Senior rep + Indianette = Erica}

Meet my new Senior Rep Erica. Is she not beautiful? That's not really a question it's more of a statement. We had the best time in downtown Dallas. We were in what I like to call the art district, also known as Deep Elm. If you have never been down there you should go, we had a wonderful lunch at this little cafe with wonderful service. It's such a wonderful place to take pictures we had great time.
