Dillan's Beach

This summer we were fortunate enough to go on a family vacation for my Mom's 60th birthday.  We went to Dillan's beach and had a great time!  It was definitely not the warmest of beaches and we did get caught in quite the wind storm, but we had fun nonetheless...


Mr. Cool in his element.

One thing the wind is good for...Kites!
They could have played catch the waves all day.


Yep, you look pretty darn cool too.
Auntie Auntie is a bit of a regular at Dillan's beach.

Jeremy pulled the boys back and forth for what seemed like hours on the board.  They LOVED it!
Aaron loved soaking up the warmth of the sand.

Keeping this lawn ornament safe became a bit of an obsession for Beckie during the wind storm.

Happy 4th of July!

Another fun filled day of festivities for Independence day.  We are so fortunate to live in such a great neighborhood.  The fourth of July is always so much fun!

This year we kicked it off with swimming and BBQing, then we did a neighborhood water balloon fight.



I'm always amazed how quickly hundreds of water balloons disappear...
This one is always a favorite to those NOT on the ground...

All our little ducks on a row for the show.
What a fun day!

Artists

 If there is one thing that makes these little guys happy, its when I say YES to paint!  They love creating things and I do love to make them happy...I don't always love the mess, but these smiles are worth it...

Mendocino

 Jeremy and I took a long weekend and went to Mendocino this summer as a little early anniversary getaway.  We've been here a few times and we always enjoy the slow paced environment of this sleepy little town.  It was gorgeous!  We simply couldn't resist snapping pictures of all the beautiful gardens and sights around us.


We stayed at The Maccullum House {our favorite B&B} in the barn suite.  It may look a little rustic on the outside, but the interior is quite luxurious.

 Like I said, the gardens around town are amazing!  Here's a few of my favorite shots...

 





Doing a little shopping
Taking a little break
Jeremy has me pose on this bench every time we go just for tradition sake...here's another one. 
 
The sheer size of this tree is amazing!
We took what was supposed to be a quick hike to see this lighthouse. However, when you have a full bladder, it felt like the longest hike of my life!  I didn't really get to take in the sights here, so luckily Jeremy took pictures.
 

Another traditional shot...
 
...and yet another photo op we always do on our way home.

I always enjoy this little trip with my hubby.  Can't wait until next time!

June 8th...AKA Ty's Birthday!

Since we had the big bash yesterday and we are all still recovering from all of the wacky tacky chaos, we did a little mini celebration for Ty's 6th birthday with some of our close friends {the Dubenkos}.

We went swimming, BBQed and played.  Easy, breezy and low key...

 I just have to take a moment here to say how grateful I am to have this little guy as my son.  He is my little M&M.  He sometimes puts on like he is Mister tough guy with a hard shell, but in the middle, he is so sweet.  He has such a good heart and a great sense of humor.  He always looks out for other people, especially his brother.  He also has a determination that will serve him very well someday.
I love you Ty Ty!!! Happy Birthday!!!

Ty's 6th Birthday Party

 We had Ty's birthday party at Wacky Tacky.  Yes, it was wacky and yes a little tacky, but the kids had a blast!!!



Natalie, Tyler and "baby Hayden"
Ty and Nat have had a little crush thing going on all school year...

The birthday bash was a huge success.  We all went home with very tired kiddos that night.
