Summer time in Solana Beach

We had a ton of fun on our week trip to Solana Beach! We loved the beautiful sunsets, the sand, the ocean, pizza at the park, long walks, Roberto's, Mitch's, dinners, sandcastles, relaxation, La Lolla Cove, and time with family.

4th of July

We had a blast over the weekend! Friday and Saturday we stayed at a resort and hung out all day at the pool. Bentley had fun going down the lazy river and swimming. Friday night we went out to dinner with my brothers and their wives. On Saturday, we played in the water all day and went out for some yummy sushi at the Kona Grill and then headed out to watch fireworks in the mountains. The fireworks were not that great and Bentley kept telling me, " Momma go home.... Momma go home"....... It broke my heart, but he finally warmed up to them and started calling the fireworks big booms! We had a lot of fun and I hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July too.

Father's Day Weekend

We had a very busy Father's Day weekend filled with swimming, games, family, and food. On Saturday we had a swim and BBQ at my parents house with our whole family. There was a ton of kids running around because between my cousins and my sister's kids their were 12 running around. It was so much fun to share Dad's day with everyone. Sunday, Mikes Mom and sister came over for dinner. Bentley had fun giving everybody a ride on his twist roller. Thanks everyone for a memorable weekend!

Dad got an ipod and season tickets to the Diamondbacks. Gotta love it!

Happy Father's DAY

Happy Father's Day to every Dad out there. I must brag about my husband and say that he is truly a great Dad to Bentley. He loves to play with him, give him baths, read to him, sing to him, and he even get's up in the night with him. When Mike gets home from work, Bentley can hear the garage open and he runs with a skip and screech and yells, "DaDa's home!" and with joy and a jump he reaches for his Daddy. I must say it is pretty darn cute to watch. So here are some photos of Bentley and his hero.............

Bentley and Harrison have a history

These two boys have shared a lot of memories over the last two years. I was recentley going through pictures and had to post these pictures because it is amazing to see how much they both have changed. My friend Jill and I have been friends for so many years now it is crazy to think that we both have 2 year olds.

Happy 20th Birthday Rachel

Happy Birthday Rachel! We had a yummy taco bar dinner cheescake, and an amazing tart made by my Mother-in-law. Bentley loves his Aunt Ray Ray! He went up to her on Sunday and said Hopy birffday Ray Ray! It was sooo ardorable.
