BACKYARD PICNIC

Backyard picnics on the weekends have become a regular routine recently. Nothing pinterest-worthy, just good food, on the back lawn, with my loves. It usually involves a little bbq on Jeff's part too. The grilled bread with olive-cheese spread is his recent born specialty.

After a three week break, Jeff started back to school this past week. Good news, it's only summer school and only one day a week. So he still has time to make olive-cheese spread. Other good news, Ewan has since had a haircut. See shag above.

Hope you have made plans and started your summer routines...
and hope you had a happy happy weekend!

WEEKEND RECAP (xTHREE!)

laguna beach with the sisters and cousins
overcast. but still saw a group (pod?) of whales pass by and found sand crabs - our fave!
........
the very next (early sunrise) morning, my best friend and i were off to vegas!
...to sunbathe and float around the lazy river for 8 hours, then take the bachelorette out for the never-ending night. dancing, fireworks, wolfgang puck dinner/breakfast at 3am...
a few hours of sleep later, the bestie and I grabbed our new memories and drove the 4 hours back,
with a quick stop off somewhere between nevada and california to catch Jeff and the cousins driving themselves to vegas. (I'd see them all again three days later.)
.......
I was home in time for dinner with the boys, then took ewan with me to san diego the next morning to be at sis-in-laws lawschool graduation at 9am
and a couple days later Jeff was back, and I went to school with him
like I mentioned, what feel like ages ago.
leading into a weekend full of swimming, bbq-ing, and disneylanding...
........
aaaaand rounding out this week:
babysitting my niece - three babies for the day!
Jeff's parents and sis flew to Texas to see Johnny - he's still there
(we've been watching their puppy and baby chicks in the meantime)
friday was take your son to work day. daddyoftheyear award given by ewan on that one.
cinco de mayo was spent at thee one-year-old birthday party of the year!
bounce house, piñata, ball-pit, three-tier cake...
and yesterday, some girl time back at college for me - "adpi 'til i die!" yep. sorority.
we try to reunion at least once a year. and the first thing everyone said to me yesterday was, "your boooys!" which tells me 1) I post way too many pictures of them, and 2) I make mothering look waaay too easy for those without kids. it ain't always picnics and popsicles. just sometimes.
ok, maybe a lot of times. we do love popsicles. :)

And after all that, the suitcases from all the travel and overnight stays everywhere
are still half unpacked on the bedroom floor. three weeks and counting.
...........

I've had this long post building in my head about how I need to write to you telling you...

that I don't have time to blog again until halloween... I have dates booked through september for thee BEST summer ever, that includes four weddings - with two on the same day!

and how I feel I'm constantly repeating myself on here since I intstantly-gram the dailys and connect with you over there now. which I love.

and how I'm moving my focus over here for a while for many exciting reasons that need to be shared...

and how I've been blogging for five years and it may be time to take a quick break for summer...
to teach graham how to walk, ewan how to write his name for preschool come august, and squeeze every ounce of family time outta the three week break from school Jeff has coming up.


but all that's for another post.

(GIRLS) WEEKEND RECAP


This mama was a free bird for the entire weekend!
Even got to drive to nice car with no carseats or crushed cheerios in the back.

wedding dress shopping with the sisters!
Hunger Games with my best!
lunch meetup with with Ali and Molly!
(pics swiped from Ali's instagram)


And while I was running around town saturday and sunday, Jeff manned the house and the boys.
which included light bulb changing, video game playing,
a home depot trip, and carseat and baby gate shopping for graham.
he's the best. my favorite. ever.

And yesterday, before wedding dress shopping and after church, I got to slow down for a bit to squeeze the boys and eat hamburgers and fruit salad at the church picnic. RIGHT before the rain rolled in.

It's a cozy monday over here, just what was needed today.
hope you had a happy weekend!

WEEKEND RECAP

 baby rocking and prescriptions
 couches and coffee
 church and lunch date (just ewan and me!)
which included a bookstore visit to pick up some new reads.

to recap again... graham caught brother's cold, making it the second weekend in a row with a sick boy. we actually had to cancel his birthday party (graham is ONE on wednesday!) and reschedule everyone for next weekend, health permitting. we craigslisted couches, but they didn't fit. wah. they are now currently in the garage waiting to be re-listed back on craigslist. and yesterday, jeff stayed home with graham while ewan and I had a day date out! and yep, i'm late to the party and just now starting the hunger games. gotta squeeze in the read before the movie comes out!

hope you had a sunny weekend!
happy monday!

"SUMMER" WEEKEND

My dreams of a beach day were crushed when ewan came down with a sniffle-cough-fever.
But we were still able to get our fill of the 80 degree heat in our own backyard. Sunscreen and all!
sicky even came out to soak up some vitamin d.
and he seems to be on the mend today!
shorts, water buckets, fruit popcicles, sprinker rainbows...
it was summer this weekend here in cali, right? :)
........

And to brighten your Monday...
a giveaway announcement!.
Exciting giveaway coming FRIDAY!! Here's a hint, you don't want to miss it!

FAMILY TENT TIMES

last saturday morning, we woke up to this...
and this...
 and then the donut fairy came...

(not really. he had bottle.)
it was this one who ate all the sprinkle donuts with me.
And then... we all settled back in for an afternoon snooze.

I want a repeat this saturday.

word on instagram that day was that there was a "latte lady" in my cup. can you see it?
