4th of July

I LOVE the 4th of July, it is one of my very fav holidays! I hope one day Lo can enjoy it as much as I do. We spent the day at the Lagoon with some of our very best friends, and everyone had a blast in the water and on the slides. Mumi and Auntie Eddie even joined us! After the fun in the sun we headed home for a quick rest before having a BBQ with Mumi's neighbors, where the older boys lit off fireworks in the street, such a treat to have our very own show. Then off to the big fireworks in the sky. While running to find the best spot for the show, Logan lost a flip flop (a very cheap OLD flip flop) I told him not to worry about it and that we would find it later. But he spend the WHOLE fireworks display wondering where his shoe went, he didn't even notice the huge display in the sky. Maybe next year!

Logan in the sand with all his toys. I think this is the first time he has not charged into the water, but instead playing with sand toys. Making progress :)

Swimming and sliding with my favorite man

Our little group: Garrett, Joy and Tatum Silvery (and baby boy unnamed Silvery), Sarah, Jeff and Aaron Gordy (and new baby to be Gordy) and of course me and Lo. *Mattie was not interested in a group photo so she decided to go down the slide, but the Jazayeris were there too.*

Auntie Eddie

Mumi and her girls, she has been waiting for a "do-over picture" since last July. Just for you Mumi :)

Father's Day!!

Logan and I headed up to Corona Del Mar to celebrate my Dad and his "Tim". We couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day, the sun was out, a slight breeze, it was just perfect. We celebrated with burgers, beer and Dad's famous chip dip. Then soccer, bocce and yoga on the lawn. Perfect! I love you Dad!!

Logan on Shakleford

Lo insisted that "Eddie" make him a train out of play-doh, and I a quite impressed with her artistic ability. Logan showed his appreciation by squishing her art.

Tim and Logan doing some gardening


Ahhhhh burgers on the grill.

Dad and the girls.

Almost summer

Its almost summer when its warm enough to fill the backyard pools and play with the hose. And Lo insisted on relaxing in his floatie in only a foot of water. It really was a perfect almost summer day.

Sylvie comes to visit!!

Logan and I were lucky enough to have Sylvie and her mama come to visit with us for an overnight slumber party. We had a lovely time going for a walk and then reading some stories with Nadine.

Two of the sweetest kids I know, holding hands and going for a walk.

Here is Sylvie hugging a tree, one of Logan's new favorite things to do.

Story time in jammies

Hike!!

Logan and I recently joined a new playgroup "Toddlers and Kids on the trail". We have met some really nice new friends (you can see them in the background) and have been getting out to enjoy some San Diego hikes. Lo loves to hike and also loves to stop on the trail to hug trees.

Small pool at the end of the Mission Trails hike and we had to put our feet and hands in the water. sooo refreshing and cool

Hugging a tree. Check out the shorts (they are on backwards), Logan is dressing himself now.

The Drive In

Lo and I recently took a trip to the drive in. I haven't been since I was a kid and I really wasn't sure how it was going to work out. But we had a great time!!

Tidepools

San Diego has been having some serious "May Grey" weather, and the thick marine layer has me missing life by the sea. So I decided that Lo and I should head out the Point Loma tide pools at low tide this past Saturday. It was perfect tide pooling weather, foggy but warm, we loved it!


Logan found crabs. And got to hold them and let them crawl on his hands, sooo cool.


And anemones, but he was not a fan. I think something about the sticky tenticles freaked him out. I love them though, so I touched a bunch of them. Besides he would much rather play in the water.


And just enjoyed the ocean all around.
