California (Part 1)

Poor, poor, Taylor was not able to take a vacation this summer at work, and since I was craving the beach and a dose of some of my favorite people in the world I decided to drive back up to our old stomping grounds.

First stop on my tour de Los Angeles, was my cousin Karen's house. Karen is an amazing shoe designer for Steve Madden, and recently inherited the title of "mommy" when her fire headed son, Cole came into the world at the beginning of summer.

Between his fashion savvy mother, and his totally "hip" dad, Cole is destined to be a cool kid.  I mean, just look at whats hanging in his nursery.




Yesterday, we all went on an outing to take Abby to the famed American Girl doll store in the Groves shopping center.

The Place almost is 10,000 square feet of dolls complete with a doll hair salon (profesional hairstylists do your dolls hair), doll hospital (for those heavily loved dolls), doll photo shoot area, and a restaurant where your doll has its own highchair. They even sell baby dolls for your doll. Abby was pretty much in little girl heaven, Parker....not so much.
We spent the rest of our vacation doing this.....
and this...
You get the point. Karen has a spectacular backyard, its like a little Mediterranean oasis in the middle of Easle Rock.
 And because I know Grandma Mary is reading this, I will leave you with pics of her beautiful new great grandson, Cole. Just look at that hair!
