Rest, relaxation, and more rest.....

Ahhhhh.....

18 hours. I slept 18 hours in two days. I wish you could see the tears of happiness streaming down my face right now. That's like a week's worth of sleep for me. This last weekend, The Hubs and I sneaked off to Tahoe for a weekend getaway. And by "sneaked off" I mean, threw a ticker tape parade, shouted from the roof tops, partied like its 1999, peaced out, got the heck out of dodge!

Despite some intense babysitting issues, we were able to get to Tahoe and enjoy life again take a breather. We had the most amazing suite and were rolling straight baller status. The room was decked out with everything from an office to a pool table. It was bigger than my house...no joke. And the best part? I didn't have to clean a dang thing! We had a blast eating, sleeping, shopping, sleeping, meeting up with the adorable Stephanie and family, sleeping, and just hanging out. See for yourself....

{Until we meet again Tahoe.....}

{This guy still gives me butterflies...or maybe its gas}

{We picked up some essentials....because no one likes funk in their junk}

{The Hubs...throwin' out the vibe..}

{My future son-in-law and his hot mama, Steph!}

{We bonded...silly faces, farts, and superheros...}

{The Hubs wrasslin' with the Blue Zoo gang...}

{Nothin' but good times!}

I miss you Tahoe...we'll meet again! But for now its back to reality (did anyone else sing 'back to life, back to reality' just now? I did...thank you Soul II Soul). I already need a nap.

Happy Tuesday Amigos!!

Viva la Frenchie!

I'm so excited! And I just can't hide it!! Picture me dancing like Jessie Spano a la Saved By The Bell. Please tell me you remember that episode...amazing! So why am I so excited? I'll tell you why...better yet, I'll SHOW you why...

TA DAAAA!!


My favorite foreign bestie is visiting me today!!!

That's right! She hopped the pond and she's on Cali soil now. Word. Who would have thought that a blogging buddy living in London would become one of my BFF's?! Loves it. The best part is, she's bringing up a surprise visitor with her...its too good a secret to tell you, so you'll just have to wait for pictures so I can SHOW you!

I'm off to go do a happy dance and put some Red Bull on ice!

Happy Wednesday amigos!

Fiesta Time Amigos!!

This weekend was LOOOONG, but man was it fun! Saturday we hosted a baby shower AND an early Cinco De Mayo fiesta...it was pure chaos at the Casa de Cline, but holy carne asada batman, we had ourselves a good time. Good food, good friends, and ice cold Jarritos makes for one heck of a fiesta! And of course my camera died an hour into the festivities, but I managed to scramble together a few photos...

{The dude running the poncho like its nobody's business}

{Drinky drinky...non alcoholic for this gal}

{Boogie showing that pinata who's boss}

{Anybody fancy a bounce?}

{The most random shot of the amigos ever}

{Las muchachas!}

{Bestie time with my boo}

{The one and only Dizzle. No explanation needed.}

{Senor Ryder..so dang cute it makes my uterus hurt!}

{Mi esposo es muy caliente! Ay papi!}

{Senorita Berkeley...say it with me, awwww!}

{I LOVE YOU CHURRO JORDAN!}

{My Mami...isn't she adorable!?}

{Boogie spittin' game at the ladies...}

{Sending out the vibe....}

{Cinco De Mayo 2010...Ole.}

Cinco De Mayo 2010 was a major success at the Casa de Cline. The Little Miss is the only one who missed out because she SLEPT through the ENTIRE party! That's right. But she woke up at 3 AM bright eyed and busy tailed ready for the day...joy. As far as Sunday goes, well...lets just say that eating 4 churros wasn't the best idea, but man, did they taste good.

Hope you all had a great weekend!

Au Revoir Frenchie! Le cercle de confiance....

These last few days have been a blur....but a fabulous blur!! It's been non-stop madness since Monday and now that the dust is settled I have to admit that the ol' heart strings are pulling. It was such a breath of fresh air to spend the last few days with two of the most amazing, hysterical, fabulous, and down to earth people ever. And now they're GONE! WAHHHH!!! I promised myself I wouldn't cry....**SOB!**....ok I'm better now. Good thing my Banana lives a stones throw away or I might go through withdrawal. As for my Frenchie, watch out skype, I'm hitting the airwaves!!!

Monday was pure excitement! I couldn't WAIT to meet up with the girls that night. After a day of sightseeing in San Francisco Mayra and Mag met me and ALL OF MY KIDS for dinner. Yeah....talk about chaos!! Luckily I was too busy bonding with my blogging besties to even care about the fact that my kids were wreaking havoc. Mothering at it's finest! But we had an awesome time and I knew within 1 minute that it was going to be an amazing trip. Here's the 60 second version:

{Frenchie taking in the sights}

{Le Frenchie Sandwich.....C.O.T.}

{Girl's night out....getting crazy on some blue drink}

{Mmmm....Mikuni's sushi...it SOUNDED like a good idea...poor bowels}

{Frenchie & Boogie snuggling over pizza}

{3 of my favorite people}

{The Little Miss working the bed head...heeeeyyyyy}

{The dynamic duo protecting their lady}

It was such a good time having Mag spend a few days bunking at the house! I was able to introduce her to the finer things in life....like Jersey Shore, The Bachelor, Conveyor Belt of Love, and Rock Star.....we're classy like that! But I couldn't let her go without bonding over some MSW (Murder She Wrote y'all...JB Fletcher's where its at!)

But before Mag headed out we HAD to stop by Mayra's AMAZING (seriously its so. dang. cute) house to give the nuggets some love! If you didn't know, my little banana has two of the cutest pups EVER....I present to you....

{Mister Bodie....I'm a model you know what I mean and I do my little turn on the catwalk}

{Mister Omar....that's right ladies...pucker up...he's ready to rock n' roll}

All in all the past few days were epic. These are going down in the books for sure. After lots of hugs and teary goodbyes I'm glad to know I can drive home knowing I have 2 amazing friends who even though they may be an hour away or an ocean away, will be there for me no matter what....ok....I'm getting a little too emotional for 9 in the morning! HA!!

Have an awesome day folks and tune in tomorrow for a sweet little giveaway...I know, I know...I'm late! But hey, better late than never.

Meet Megan...

Forgive me if I'm rambling incoherently...my kids are sick and waking up at 10 minute intervals...so needless to say I'm friggin tired. But on the bright side, Jordan is tucked away drifting off somewhere in never never land snoring like a frackin banshee. Isn't that great? Yeeaaahh. Remind me to tie all of his shoe laces together tomorrow. Jerk.

But since I'm awake I'm going to take advantage and introduce you to someone near and dear to my heart...and kitchen pantry. I've been fortunate to have found some really awesome friends in life. And while I have a select few I call my besties, I have to introduce you to the original bestie. She's the OG of my bestie world....the Romy to my Michelle...she's Megan....

{That's my boo! Ain't she puuurty?}

It all began when I was 12 (holy days ago batman) and this little hooligan from across the street would come over and try to barter her Hansen's soda in exchange for a Pepsi, I was happy to oblige. She had an uncanny way of showing up every time the Schwann's man was there delivering ice cream. So, I took it upon myself to show this girl the finer things in life...and the pantry. Our love for food developed into an amazing friendship that I've treasured for the last 14 years.

From sleep overs to motherhood, we've been through it all together. Countless inside jokes (you ate yours, these are mine!!), countless heartaches, countless laughs. We've swooned over *N Sync together and held eachothers new born babies....The ups and downs, good times and bad, I know she'll always be there for me...with a carton of nacho's in one hand and a fountain soda in the other. That's my girl!!!

So now that you guys have met, go on over and say hi...I finally got her to start a blog. GLORIOUS!!! Just be nice...or I may have to kick some butt!
