Housewarmings & Birtgday Prepping!

Is It February already?

I am preparing to have my nephews 2nd birthday at our place in March. It will be an UP theme, one of my favorite Disney movies. It also involves having tons of balloons which is my nephews’ favorite object at the moment. My sis and I spent all day yesterday DIYing. We painted a birdhouse to look like the Up House  and it was so hard to find a decent picture of the animated UP house because only images of a house from Utah built to look exactly like the animated version would show up on Google. I almost want to take a road trip to Utah to see this house..Speaking of road trips I hope to have more of them or any of them. My hubby and I haven’t really taken a good long scenic road trip.

This weekend I celebrated with friends on their new homes. Friday night I went to visit Candice and James and met the new puppies, Moose & Lulu. I brought Bailey along with me and he taught them how to play and eat treats. They have a beautiful home in Pasadena and we spent the night talking of our weddings and dogs and future plans.  Saturday J & I went to Tugunga for our friends’ housewarming. J had been there before but I hadn’t and love their place.

On Sunday we headed to Redondo Beach to visit Aunt Pat & Walt and ate at Versailles.  I tried mapping the restaurant and a map of France came up! Is this a sign that we should go to France instead of Greece? I’m not sure when our Europe trip will take place.

My first meal from our slow cooker was a great success. I made a Asian Beef Stew from a Family Circle Recipe and it was tasty!
