The Nana Show! Finally found!

Oh this was such a score this weekend. Will and I have been looking for this video for years! Classic Nana footage from 2007 (i think). So grateful to have found this and now have it uploaded properly in youtube. For years we were searching to see Nana in this, and now that it is found, i am so happy to have this video of daddy too. Note to self: take more videos.

Let the travels begin!

Well, the drive to San Jose was fun and uneventful. Sabs had us crying laughing when it sounded like sophie said a curse in the car (of course she didnt) but little sister Sabs is first to jump on it and out of nowhere informs everyone “Sissy said Oh Shit”. Oh man it was so hilarious coming out of her little mouth and in her little trickster way…sissy was obviously not a fan of this and it took about 5 minutes to recover but all worth it.

We all went out to dinner, had some ice cream and then conked out for our travels the next morning. We promised Sabs we would take her to the playground at “Old McDonalds” (yes thats what she calls mcdonalds and we dont correct her). She also calls the Ferry “the tooth ferry” and obviously we dont correct that either. So we ate some bfast and headed to Mcdonalds where they got some energy out. Then we went to take rental car back and hopped on airport shuttle to catch our flight.

All was going great until we arrived at the airport. Literally we were at the airport door, exiting the van, and Sabs hurls her entire breakfast all over me. Chunks of cheese in my hair, down my shirt, all down her shirt, all over our seat…everywhere!! I flung her outside the van where she stood on the airport sidewalk finishing her hurl session, topless, in front of airport doors. It def topped Sophie’s hurling episode on the Disney airport bus years ago.

Luckily because of the past experiences, I had everything on hand for this situation. Sabs and I headed into airport bathroom and changed all of our clothes. I rinsed my hair with shampoo in the bathroom sink and piled all our dirty clothes into a sealed puke bag. We still wreaked like vomit until Texas, but at least we didnt have any on us. Apparently vomit smell lingers longer than Sabs poop. Bless the man next to us on the flight (who was flying for the first time ever) and was sitting next to the vomit duo.

Here is Sabs post vomit enjoying her flight and gummy bears

and here she is pre-vomit, about to consume all her vomitable breakfast items (which mainly consisted of a white cheese that is not on her plate b /c it is all in her belly waiting to come out her mouth)

Some pics from hotel in SJ

And we made it to Houston! Enjoyed live music and a yummy dinner 🙂


And then off to SF!



A glorious day in the mountains!

Yesterday we drove up to Poas Volcano and had the most beautiful day! It was so refreshing to escape the city and be back in nature. The air was fresh, cows were everywhere, dogs roaming, horses, waterfalls, ugh just perfect. At one point in my life i thought i was a “city girl”…ummm no. For sure i am not and neither is this little family of mine. Sophie said “we should stay here next time. This feels like Costa Rica (she thinks the city is some other country here)”.

We had a little picnic on the side of the road with the most incredible views and fresh mountain air. Then we went to La Paz animal sanctuary and Waterfall garden followed by a yummy Tico style lunch and then if that all wasn’t enough we spotted a sloth on our drive home!! We pulled over and went to the tree and he was right by our head just eating some berries. Sophie and I were geeking out. Ugh what a cool day!! Feeling super thankful!
