DISNEYLAND MEETUPS

we love our annual passes. and we love our friends with annual passes.

always a perfect place to meet up for a few hours with the kids.

I feel like I've know kayleen forever through blogging,

but this was the first time we met up, at disneyland, with the kids, who naturally loved each other.

four year olds are awesome like that.

and last night was ewan's first ride on 'soaring over california'.

an all time favorite of mine I couldn't wait to share with him.

...........

and a few weeks earlier we carpooled to the parks with sarah and shane...

everyone got buzz guns. one gun was promptly thrown into the river.

and was later sweetly replaced by a cast member.

ewan made a call for sugar,

and sarah delivered, with cotton candy the size of their heads.

and a then beautifully pregnant friend, now has a five week old Holden!

more disneyland trips with the newbie soon. :)

NUT FARM

This nut farm in san diego county has the best pumpkin patch in october. We went last year too. This trip was with Ewan's preschool buds and his teachers, who happen to be Jeff's mom and my best friend... which makes every preschool field trip a fun one!

Pumpkins, preschool picnic, ponies, and perfect cloudy fall weather. Gotta love a feel good pumpkin patch day.

Have a happy october weekend... two left!

PALM SPRINGS

Were you in palm springs this weekend, because for some reason my instagram feed told me everyone was. These pictures are from my weekend there last month with a group of girlies. Pool time, cold drinks, late night, light dresses, the palm springs usual. I could use some more pool time, it's going to be over a 100 degrees here tomorrow! Welcome October, ha!

ps. King's Highway breakfast, best ever. Homemade granola and french press coffee, all the way!

This sweet woman set up the whole weekend, all for our favorite bride / now newlywed!

WEDDING WEEK

Jeff and I celebrate our 8 year anniversary on Wednesday! My sister and brother-in-law celebrate their 4 year anniversary on Friday. And my sorority big sister got married this weekend... she was my bridesmaid almost exactly 8 years ago, and saturday was her day!

I love September weddings.

Sunset Boulevard, standing room only reception, vegan dinner, old slides as table place cards, her vintage beaded, mint green gown, open mic speeches... these lovebirds met while in school at AFI, she's a writer and he's a cinematographer, and this day was everything I imagined their LA hip hollywood wedding would be. Now happy honeymoon you two!

Since I'm in the wedding mood this week, check back for pictures of sister's wedding last month, and my day 8 years ago!

OH HELLO VINTAGE AND FRIENDS

So this past weekend I went to thee orange county vintage sale of the summer, and grabbed a couple goodies and couple new friends!

I met Danni, Rubyellen, and Tara!

As I headed into the sale I beelined straight to a familiar face, my long time friend Heather. She told me about the upcoming sale, and I definitely wanted to pick through her kids clothes first thing.

Heather then introduced me to Tara!

Tara was just as california cool as I had imagined her to be. Her blog was one of the first ones I started following after I started mine back in 2007, and we have hooked up recently on instagram. It was a quick "meet in real life" as I was headed into the sale and her early bird self was headed out. She beat the heat, smart woman.

Then a booth over was Ruby! And Ben, and Glow! Sweetness overload with that family. I tried to steal one of her pillows on display, but I couldn't run fast enough. :) And recently discovered... Ruby and I are practically neighbors! Time to get the boys together with all those girls.

And my big purchase of the day was a $15 vintage globe. I chit chatted with the woman who took my money telling her how I wanted to take home everything. Happy with my purchase, and showing it off to Heather later, she told me it was Danni I bought it from. Hand slap to the forehead. I'm so bad at these meet-in-real-life things. I did the same thing with someone else recently who I'm too embarrassed to say who it was. Regardless of me being clueless, Danni was just as lovely in person as she is on her blog. And I'm in love with her old / my new globe.

Stroller parking in the front, patient men waiting in the back. All the ladies selling and shopping were pure happy. It was such a fun place to be on a Saturday morning!

I had pulled my sister out of bed that morning to go vintage hunting with me, as she lives only a couple streets over from where the sale was held. And if you know me like she does, once I'm out of the house, it's hard to get me back home. I take full advantage of personal time when I'm out and about. So sister and I went on to the thrifts after, even sitting on the street curb waiting for one of them to open at 11am. We scored some good finds, had fun walking the downtown streets in her hood, and said we would do it every Saturday until forever.

Sisters, friends, and good finds. Every saturday please?
