Loving our mama!!

My mom came into town on Friday morning!!  We have had so much fun since she's been here.  We have been going nonstop from the second we picked her up at the airport, she wears us out lol...I believe she picked up that trait from my pops ha ha.  Love you dad!!  On Friday we picked her up from the airport and went straight to breakfast at The Village Coffee Shop.  I thought it was perfect since this neighborhood hot spot's atmosphere of old Hollywood dominates Beachwood Canyon.  This is the same neighborhood my sisters and I live in so I thought it would be appropriate.  This is also the street where you can visit the Hollywood sign.  The sign originally read "Hollywoodland," to promote a development opened in Beachwood Canyon in 1923...kind of a fun little fact ;)  Humphrey Bogart once lived here as well as Madonna who lives at the top of our street in a house with a yellow and red striped tower just to the left of the sign...and now I can't help but laugh when I think of Madonna in the plastic sack she wraps herself in every night before she goes to bed; according to Guy Ritchie lol.

There have been a few fires here in Cali lately (which is incredibly tragic), so Los Angeles looks like it has been engulfed in the debris from an atomic bomb :(  Not fun...We all decided to pack up and go to the beach, however, there was no escaping it.  It was everywhere!  It was almost eerie in a way looking at the sky which otherwise would have being completely blue.  And as the sun went down yesterday and today it was perfectly crimson, more so yesterday than today, but it was still amazing to be able to witness that...

We have had so much fun being together (for some reason some of my pictures are not downloading.  When I figure that out...there will be more to come :)
