Madagascar 3?

We bought a season pass to the Zoo, Botanic Gardens and Aquarium. So thats pretty much what my life will be consisting of. Today, Jaxon and I packed up a picnic and went to the zoo. It will go down in my history as one of the best days ever. We feasted on an assorment of berries & kiwi, crackers & cheese then topped it off by sharing an ice cream cone. We still saw plenty of animals not sleeping even though it was the middle of the day.
Jaxon is really perfecting his animals noises and expanding his range. Looking at the animals through his eyes brings me a whole new level of appreciation. Everytime we go he gets a big kick out of different animals. This time the favorites were the prarie dogs, seals, and the toucans. Enjoy the montage of photos and the video of Jaxon's latest impression.









San Diego- "America's Finest City"

When you love what you do, it really doesn't feel like work. Last week I took a great trip to San Diego for some meetings and trainings. I was re-energized, inspired, and of course squeezed a little fun in there. Though I missed Jaxon tremendously, I shopped it up, ate some great fish tacos, had pinkberry almost every night (if you don't know what pinkberry is..."You betta ax somebody!"

The fabulous gentlemen in between all the girls is one of MAC's senior artists and the woman to my left is one of our talented trainers. We really got to put our makeup abilities to the test and it was fun being under the gun so to speak.
We stayed in the Hard Rock Hotel in downtown San Diego got to apperciate all downtown had to offer. (by apperciate, I mean *shopped*)
This hotel was sleek and state of the art. My favorite part was as we checked in, the woman asked "Miss Clay, what sort of music would you like playing in your room when you walk in?"
Its all in the details...




My little brother Jesse hi-jacked a car and drove the hour down from Murrietta to visit with me. Though our time together was short, it was also so sweet! We wandered around the hotel and had a grand time. He entertained with one of his many Christopher Walken impressions.
