{palm springs / father's day weekend}

We decided we were in need of a little getaway, so we packed up and headed south to Palm Springs. We had never been before, but fell in love! We stayed at a vacation club in an amazing villa. Our days were spent hanging poolside and checking out the local shops and eateries. It was hot, but cooler than it was here at home! We are eagerly anticipating our return!

{2nd dance recital}

Attempting to catch-up again...

 On Saturday, June 9th, Addie got to dance in her 2nd Dance Recital! She was very excited about being in 2 dance numbers this year! Time got away from me and I wasn't able to get her in to have pictures done in her costumes, but I did snap plenty on my phone.

Here's also a little video my dad put together of her performances: The next session of dance starts in just a few short weeks! This year she's going to be taking ballet, tap and jazz! I'm excited for her to add a new type of dance!

Memorial Weekend 2012

Memorial Day weekend was so much fun!  We rented a boat and sailed through the Channel Islands Harbor, which was a blast! We must do this again soon!

The following day we also made a stop for some fun on the shore.  The perfect way to kick off summer!

So much for keeping up with this thing! I had good intentions, but life has been busy-busy-busy. ---- I need to recap: Addison's 2nd Dance Recital Our Father's Day Getwaway Swimming Lessons - Session 1 And so much more!

So it's been a really long time since I've posted here. Time to blow the ole dust of the blog. Sorry about that!  Life has happened!

To say we had an awesome Memorial Day weekend is an understatement!  We had so much fun!

Friday night started the weekend off right with a concert!  Becca & I sat front row at Morrissey!  It was amazing and did not disappoint!



Saturday morning we did a Target run before dance class...



and then headed to a BBQ after nap time



Sunday it was up bright and early and beach bound!



And then off for a boat ride!



Monday morning was made for cuddling with our sun-kissed sweetie...



Cruising with the top down



Playing at the beach



Post-pool swinging with cousins



And falling asleep hard on the drive home



Hope you all had a fantastic kick-start to summer!  We have so much fun planned!

{halloween years past}

On a few blogs that I read, I am seeing that today they're doing a Halloween-through-the-years post today, so I thought I'd join in the fun.

{fun at the fair}

We've been to the County Fair 3 times this year...that's insane! Once was to watch my Dad's band perform, once was to watch Addison dance in her studio's showcase, and once was for a Preschool Field Trip. Phew! Once is usually more than enough for me!

I have nothing really clever to say, so here is a photo dump from last Friday & Saturday...
