Summer Days

With a couple more days of camp to go, here's a little of what Jake's been up to this summer.....

Hiking at Cathedral Rock (Mt. Charleston),
Showing Dad pieces of a tape player and keyboard he brought home
from the "Take Apart Center",
Using the pieces to build a robot,
Meeting up with friends at 8:30am for a park play date to beat the heat!

The 'trike' wash at camp,
Getting ready to do it again the next day!

Happy Anniversary!

I know that I am very lucky to be married to my best friend, we've been together 10 years and now married for half of them! With our second son on his way in less than a week, we celebrated with a mellow date night, dinner at Terra Rosa and a movie. Interesting facts about us: We met at a Blink 182 concert....Fell in love 'South of the Border' (Frank Sinatra song)....I used to ride the train to Riverside from the O.C. to visit him every week....once we moved in together he got a job where he had to ride the train from Riverside to the O.C. every day!....I have him addicted to limes and hot sauce and he got me hooked on mac and cheese! I love you babe, Happy Anniversary!

Charlie's Room

Joan and Samm donated their time and talent to the Co-op Auction this year and we were lucky enough to win the mural package! Included in their services were fun play dates with their kids and jaw dropping artistry! These pictures give you an idea of what's in Charlie's room, but standing in there, smelling freshly washed baby clothes and seeing that bird's nest up close, I can tell you it's even better! I am excited to recommend them to anyone looking to re-do a kids room, or any other room for that matter, with a mural!

Kindergarten Step-Up Ceremony...

Or in Jake's case, Jump Off Ceremony!



It's been an amazing year for him and us! I couldn't have asked for a better school and teacher to see my kiddo learn, explore, and laugh! So many pictures and memories to leave with! So many reasons to look forward to going back in 2 years!

Kidshine goes Under the Sea

Another end of year event we attended last week, was Jake's recital for Music and More
aka Kid shine. Here's my super cool kid in all his glory!

End of Year Blues....

Everything seems to be coming to an End! It literally ended with a splash! A splash day that is!
