A Foodie's Weekend Dream

This past weekend Tj and I had experienced lots of different foods, thought I'd share cause you know #SavageLife

I tried Better Buzz for the first time, a coffee place that I heard about through my coworkers. I got an iced "best drink ever" and it was quite tasty. I never drink iced coffee and surprisingly I liked it. 
 Tj is obsessed with Kati Thai, a restaurant in San Diego that we knew very well before moving here. I had the pineapple fried rice!!
On Saturday we went on a Bite Tour through La Jolla. It was an especially hot day for San Diego so walking to each restaurant was not ideal. The food on our first stop wasn't great.
 Now this apple pancake at Richard Walker's Pancake House was pretty amazing 
 And someone really enjoyed gnawing on the bacon


Loved the chicken caesar crepe on the left



The last stop was Olive Oil tasting which I never knew was a thing
We heard about the San Diego Night Market from a guy on our Bite Tour, so we figured what the heck

 It was Asian night

 ONE DOLLAR lashes, and I only got 3 pair. What is wrong with me?


 LUMPIA!!!!!
 All of the lines were insane, including the one for this lemonade I had never tried

 It was worth it
 Tj's Saigon fries 



What a yummy weekend :)

Family Photo Shoot


 On our recent trip home we had the opportunity to shoot with our favorite photographer Briana Lugo and here are the amazing results. I love her so!!!

Now if you've been reading my blog back before I had Noelle you may remember my baby shower when my mother surprised me with stuff that I had NO clue she kept. Included in those things was the red dress she's holding up in this picture below. This picture has been framed and in my parents house forever. She presented me with this picture, an empty frame and the dress. I was 7 months in the picture. And because God's timing is perfect we were able to go home while Noelle was 7 months and recreate this photo.

We Host A Johnson Family Vacation

There was so much anticipation for the Johnson's to get here!!! Tj's sister Londa and her kids were so excited for their visit. Especially the kids because they hadn't yet met Noelle. This would be their mom's fourth time seeing her and they were well over due. They live in Houston and while doing the travel nursing the first time around we got to spend 3 months in their city and were so fortunate to see them very often, at least once a week. Myles is 12 and Madison and Morgan will be 11 in December. With Tj and I being the babies of both our families Noelle has lots of awesome older cousins. 

Myles is a big gamer and has a great sense of humor. Madison and Morgan are big music lovers and the lyric QUEENS!! When I say they know ALL of the words to every song on the radio, I am not exaggerating. I love them so much and it is always so much fun being around them and their mom. 


The San Diego Zoo was #1 on their list




 Noelle was unimpressed by all the monkey business

 Twin love
 A little footsie wootsie










After the zoo 'In N Out' was a must

On Saturday Tj took Londa and the kids to LA for the day while Noelle and I hung back at home

That night Tj and I collected payment on our fee for visiting us, a night out while our guests babysat



It was a short trip but we enjoyed every moment with them
