V I S T A

<---------FILIBERTOS!!! YUM!!!
&
PEPPER TREE FROSTY !!!

Two things we look SO forward to while visiting our fam down in Vista. We have to get food from our most FAVORITE Mexican joint and then desert at Pepper Tree! SO YUMMY! My stomach is growling as I write about it...LOL! Sunday nights when I was younger, Mom and I would often wait up til midnight as our lil tradition, and go order Fili's or Jack 'n the Box (for Grandma Ana) It was so much fun! :) Since we got so used to it whenever we are down in Vista, we ALWAYS make a time to hit our favorite two spots. :) Craig has LOVED that tradition, and has become accustomed to our lil visits to our favorite dives. He loves it! :)

Since Craig is out of town for work, and Mom has an appointment down with the INS office, I am heading with with her for a lil girls trip to both her appointment and then to visit with fam. And of course to say the least visit our favorite lil spots.

We will be back to celebrate Easter together as a family, which will be awesome, especially to attend church. I always love listening to the special messages and special spirit there is on days such as Easter. What a wonderful time of year.

I will share some Easter pictures soon I'm sure... :)

MY LIL BUG.....

GETTING READY FOR THE EASTER BUNNY....

My lil niece is seriously the most ADORABLE thing ever! Okay...so Im a lil bi est of the lil ones in my family..LOL!! :)

I wast talking to my sis this morning and we were laughing at how much the bunny and background on these Easter Bunny pictures are so similiar to when we were lil ones... !!

What a miracle and blessing to now get to watch my lil sister have a lil baby to take to get these pictures done, memories continue to be created and remembered.

Of course the Easter Bunny, and eggs, easter egg hunts, candy, baskets, etc., are all so much fun.

Then I step back and think of the true meaning of this special time of year. I found this really cool poem that describes this time of year perfectly.

Easter Time

I love the world at Easter time because everything is new.There are blossoms on our fruit trees and in our garden too.
And where the grass was dead and brown,It’s starting to look green.The world just seems to come alive whenever it is spring.
It makes me think of Jesus and that great, first Easter Day,Of how He came to live on earth to teach us to obey.
He died for us upon the cross and suffered for our sins.Then, like the trees and flowers in spring,He came to life again.
And now when it is springtime,I’m filled with Jesus’ love.I know He rose again so I Could live with Him above.

Camping @ McGrath

Being that we had a few extra days off w/ it being Presidents Day weekend, we decided to take a few days and go camping. It just so happened that Uncle David & Jared had arrived in from Australia a few days before our camping trip. Uncle had to head to a business meeting, so we took Jared with us. We had so much fun... here are some pics....
