Summer Fun

Last Sunday we crashed the Sickenberger's Father's day event at the Power Game.  It was such a beautiful night to be outside watching baseball, and of course the company could not have been better!!Luke & Mace are so into each other, of course they have their moments but they have been wonderful brothers since Ty has been gone.  They call each other best friends.  Melts my heart...Today we went to a birthday at My Gym...now the boys want to have their party there. They had so much fun and tons of their friends from school were there.  A great day for all of us!

A busy, wonderful weekend!

On Friday after work Julie & I took off for San Diego.  We did some of my favorite things!!  We stopped at Miramonte Winery in Temecula and did a wine tasting then went on to Escondido for dinner at Stone Brewery.  The food once again was outstanding and we stayed in Escondido for the night.  Saturday morning we went to IKEA in San Diego, which has a wonderful playroom for kids so I could actually shop!

Afterwards it was on to Mission Beach for some play time.  Not a cloud in the sky, perfect temperature, big waves...loved every minute!And after all that fun, I got them both their very own huge ice creams.  A treat since we usually make them share! Happy boys!Saturday night my girls took me out for my birthday.  We had a blast hanging out at my house, Matchbox, a stop by a friend's party and rounding the night out with some pub action.These girls are seriously so much fun!!!!And yes, we made finger mustaches.  Court's was the best with the handle bars!  Thank you ladies for such a fun night out!!!

June....

The first week in June we had Ty's baseball team at our house for the party.  It was so fun seeing so many boys that were so into sports.  Ty had a great year and loved his team & coach. Go Irish!Eric took a day to go out on a friend's fishing boat to do what he loves best, killing fish!!Last weekend we went to the Crab Pot restaurant in Rancho Mirage with Posas.  Great food, horrible service!!  We all had fun despite the servers and the kids loved it, they keep asking to go back.Just in case anyone ever wonders why I don't post a lot of pictures of my husband, this is the usual response I get to 'smile!!!'(unless it involves fish or golf)...just saying..Auntie Julie being the best auntie ever..as always!!Sunday we had family day and took the boys to the water park .  They love it, i'm not so fond of the scary rides but I did make it on the toilet bowl one with Ty.  We had such a great day!!

Shaver Lake, CA

Lots and lots of pictures of our amazing weekend with Kerri & Niko & Roman at Shaver Lake where Kerri has a house for the summer.  I have lived in Cali for 13 years and it never stops surprising me how beautiful it is, and there is so much more to see!!! The first picture is of the view from the deck and then there is a little pond with tons of bullfrogs a few yards away.  Shaver Lake itself is so pretty with the mountains, snow & water.  We hung out by the lake on Saturday and the big boys and Kerri managed to bring home 16 trout that they smoked the next day.  My little Huck Finns...Cali showed her ambition at 10 years old at fetching a 'stick'.Luke tried his hand at ping pong, or more like mommy chase the ball.The catch and the aftermath...on the deck with the view, priceless!!!On Sunday we rented a pontoon to do some viewing and fishing...kind of funny seeing the kids in swimsuits playing in random snow piles they found.  They thought it was great!!!Worms were the choice of bait, ickkkk.Kerri 'fishing' on a rock in the sun.The deck at sunset with marshmallows, doesn't get much better when you are 4.  Ended the weekend with the boys going on a shooting walk with Kerri, Ty could not wait to use his bb gun!! 

Thanks Kerri, Niko & Roman for a wonderful weekend!!  (bunnies & all!!!!)
