Newport Beach Back Bay – Part One.

 Justin and I decided to take a trip to the Newport Beach Back Bay this weekend and took some scenery pictures. We had never been to this part of the back bay and it was probably the coolest place we’ve seen in Newport Beach. 🙂

IHeartFaces: At The Beach

I Heart Faces

I decided to enter this photo into IHeartFaces: At The Beach week because this picture just symoblizes “beach” to me.

My niece and nephew…having the best time at the beach just running down the coast back and forth with their endless amount of energy.

Happy 4th!! Better Late Than Never!

Okay. You can’t have 4th of July without Ping Pong. You just can’t. And, if you go to one of these “parties” without it…you better get out of there quick because that my friend…is no 4th of July party.

I Heart Faces: Sports in Action

 [button+-+sports.jpg]

Even though this isn’t an actual sports team photo I entered it into I Heart Faces: Sports in Action because I love how you can see the ball coming down perfectly and his eyes are fixated on it. I love this action.

Home run.

Besides, backyard sports are cooler anyways 🙂

I Heart Faces: Pets!

I thought the picture below would be perfect for this weeks IHeartFaces Post! Enjoy!

[Button+-+Pets.jpg]

If this is not the cutest dog in the world then I don’t know what is. I was literally just about to put this dog in my purse and run.

But…considering it was my in-law’s house…probably not the best idea because they know where I live. 🙂

Pain is beauty…wait..what?

Since I’m working at my 9-5 office job I thought I would post up a fun picture and embarass myself for the good of the blog!

The person getting tortured is me – This was at my sister-in-law’s wedding in September. I was one of her bridesmaids and we all wore our hair up with literally probably possibly 1,000 bobby pins.

To get you to better understand who I am…I’m not really a hairspray – makeup – high heels type of chick. Give me a regular hair tie and 1 bobby pin and I’m good to go. With that said, after we arrived to the reception location I tried to get the foreign items out of my hair but I could not do it alone – so I had reinforcements. After this experience, I decided it would probably be best not to do my hair again like that? Or, have someone take them out that knows how!

It was a learning experience to say the least…but, I still had the best time with my family 🙂
