4th of July 2017

We had an amazing 4th of July!

It started on our street with a bike parade, donuts and fun games!
Twinsies!!
Then we went to our friends' neighborhood for swimming, games, fireworks and lots of food and drinks!

July Fun

Very last minute margarita get togethers (in pjs!) with neighbors...

More birthdays at The Door!

Dinners with Godsisters...

More birthday parties for Ella!

Summer Soccer

One of my friends decided to coach summer soccer this summer so Everett is playing with a bunch of his buddies!  Go Blue Sharks!

Of course, the sisters are always on the sidelines!

Soccer moms...there may be wine in there...

June 2017

More birthday celebrations for both my friends and Ella's friends!


The kids both did VBS, one of their favorite camps, and Ella slept over at Haley's one night!

And we had the first concert at the golf course- one of our favorite things to do during summer!
Everett is in the middle- why does he look 12 instead of 5?!?!

Father's Day 2017


The kids got Gary pool beer pong for Father's Day, but Ella is SO good at it...it's a little worrisome! ;) #readyforcollege

Last Day of School Party 2016

We had a super fun last day of school party that ended in a poker night and sleepover!

June Happenings...

Some of the dads did the Camp Pendleton Mud Run...

It's birthday month so there have been tons of birthday celebrations!  Olivia's fashion party...

And lots of moms-only celebrations!

We made it through the last week of school with Hawaiian day...

Field Day...

And the last day of school on June 16th with the classroom all packed up!

Writing Wizard Award

Ella was given the "Writing Wizard" award at school!  I'm so proud of her!  She really has become a great writer, and we love reading what she writes.


Pool- One Year Later 6.4.17

June 4, 2016 was the first day we were able to use the pool, so of course we had to take the same picture jumping in the pool one year later!  Except this year, Everett joined in- he refused last year- he has become such a more confident swimmer!

And here is last year vs. this year...look how much our trees and shrubs have grown!
