mountain air.

This is what a weekend in fresh, mountain-air looks like!

Lots of playing with the kids, walks to the river, time at the playground, games, arts, rock-painting and plenty of laughs to go around. Oh and let's not forget Bailey who channeled Ansel Adams all weekend with the camera! She got some great pics...dontchathink?! We had a great time with our hosts, Jim and Mary, at their cabin in the sky! Thank you!!!

Swimming for fun.

Last week we had the Blue Dolphins end of the year swim party! Bailey and Andrew got medals and trophies and were so proud! We also hosted Sarah, Asher and the twins, Lucia and Holiday. It was great fun for all of the kids.

glorious weather, wonderful friends, terrific kids!

The girls and I took a little two-day trip to our friends home in Pebble Beach and had a great time visiting the aquarium. It was Grace's first time and Bailey had not been since she was 10 weeks old (does that count?) and they loved it. As our summer is winding down, we are trying to cram in as much as possible and enjoy these last fun days.

Happy Birthday...

To Me! After Vegas, my girls took me out for drinks and dinner! So much fun especially when you visit the VP for Lemon Drops...yummmy! I know everyone says they have the best friends ever but I truly do...near and far! I love you girls.Mary really tried to get me a Caprese...not so much! But I appreciate the sweet sentiment, Mary!

H2O & Sun

Okay, so I'm a little behind on my post as this was a trip to the water park in June! We had a blast with our good friends, the Fabrie Family! The girls and Brian loved the slides, the sun and lazy river. The dads even got in on the fun with sliding down the tubes.
