I have been in quite the slump recently...not sure why - this song gives me that little bit of motivation that is much needed.  Lucy and I will be hearing a lot of this in then next few days while daddy is out headbanging...

outing @ six flags discovery kingdom

Personally, I had a blast here.  I revisited my past by going on roller coasters, rides, and the best - water adventures.  Thank you Cousin Charlie for taking us as your guests - and giving us a chance to meet some of your family.  All the kids were just so Great! They really brought the best out in all of us!! I just wish we could have gotten a photo of Patrick and I soaked head to toe with the 3, 11 year olds! I hadn't laughed so hard in years!

Esther and Lucy will be on these big kid rides in no time!!!!

outing @ santa cruz boardwalk

outing @ san francisco zoo

sneak peak > the peter's summer visit

This was the most active we were all summer.  In two weeks we really packed a lot in with Kimmy and the kids.  We could not believe just how much Paige and Grant have changed over the past year since we saw them last when Lucy was born. I guess as astounded as we are of Lucy's daily changes....it just goes to show how it never stops.  Personalities, fashion, hobbies, outside influences, emotions, and actions.... They are every changing.  Lucky for us - We had a blast while they were all here!  Trips to the Zoo, National Parks, Pools, Beaches, Amusement Parks, Family gatherings, and oh so much more....! I posted earlier my favorite pics taken at Muir Woods.  Today I have some of my favorites that make for great memories :)

Outing @ golden gate

We hope to see you all soon. We wish every day that you could be only an arms length away from us.  Thank you for being such awesome cousins - and the best Auntie our Lucy could ask for.  Tons of hugs and kisses sent to Hawaii.  Paige, Grant, Auntie Kimmy, and of course Uncle Drew - We Love You!

my lucy > raisins in the car

I have so many photos I need to go through - Still need to post more from the Peter's visit, our trip to Denver, diy's, and the moments that have made us oh so proud...Lucy swimming on her own. These are all coming - it is my goal for this week to have all of it ready to post!
