Props to Rugby 7s and MY VALENTINE!!!!



I know this post is a little delayed, but we've been CRAZY busy around these parts.

V-day with Mr. J was spent in San Diego, CA.

We had such a WONDERIFFIC FANTABULOUS time with some of our close friends enjoying an entire weekend watching USA RUGBY 7s , shopping, dining without the craziness and noise of kiddos, lounging at the hotel and spa, and pretending during all this that $$ was unlimited. LOL! So FUN... pretending.









The beautiful bay view from our room. The pool was awesome, waterslide, waterfalls... funny thing is the first thing we all said was "Man, the kids would have SO MUCH FUN!". For another occassion I'm sure!



Enjoying a little Samoan Siva during half-time. ONLY with Rugby! Loved it!



Checking out the New Zealand All Blacks!



And maaan... Line, we were REALLY rooting for Mexico. I was feeling really bad for them 'cause they were gettin' whooped. But atleast they got a goooood stretch in.... just in time to RUNNNN back home- good thing it wasn't too far. lol! Just playin' girl!!!! You know we were cheering for Gussies Amigos.... your bro was crackin' this one all day long. I'm sure next year their stretching will pay off. LOL!





And it was sooo cool watching the USA WOMENS RUGBY team run out on the field to compete against England. They were Tiiiiiight! I've never really been into Rugby, or sports for that matter... but watching these girls on the team made me appreciate the skills require for such a sport. So cool!!!



And this guy was a crack up. He jumped over the fence and TRIED to get up on his team when the redcoats dragged him from the field. MODED. But secretly, if that were my team, I'd IMAGINE doing the same- only I'd be lifted by the team in the air like I somehow had something to do with their victory. Like- served their pellegrino. hahaha!~

We had such a great time! It's been a loooooong while since we've treated ourselves to a weekend- just the adults, enjoying eachothers company.












The perfect postlude to the weekend was a YUMMMLICIOUS breakfast at Richard Walkers Pancake House , just a stones throw from our hotel. It was definitely worth the 30 min wait outside, in the RAIN!





Thanks Toki's and Moa's for such a fabulous weekend. And for all the babysitters that made it possible.

ALLLL that LOVE.... and a STAR!!!

Phew!!!

I am E X H A U S T E D!

After spending and entire weekend + Monday in San Diego with Mr. J and some of our closest friends (I'll post on that later), I jetted off (in my trusty mini-van) to join Jane in Vegas for the WPPI convention.

What an AWESOME experience that was. I met SO MANY photog greats: Bambi Cantrell , Jerry Ghionis , Charles & Jennifer Maring ... the lists of greats continues. I'll go into more detail later. (My eyelids are struggling as I type. LOL!)

I just wanted to post pictures of the SWEEEEETEST, most genuine photographer whose work continually inspires me to reach HIGHER, and be BETTER. So cool!
