San Diego County Fair

On Saturday we took the boys to the fair in Del Mar.  The weather was great, the boys were awesome and we had a great day!  

Mason came out of this ride covering his eyes.

I still get a little queasy looking at this ride, the boys loved every minute. 

Of course we got to feed the goats...

And pet the cows...the best part for Eric and I besides the look on the boys faces after rides was the people watching, good stuff.

Checking out the new hammock at Kerri and Niko's.

Lukey even got a little fish down by the lagoon.

Another amazing dinner by candlelight in the backyard at sunset.  I don't think Carlsbad will ever get old to me. 

And what would a weekend in Carlsbad be without a perfect day at the beach.  5 hours...I love that they love it, we could have been there longer!!

My besties.

On Sunday when Julie and I were about halfway home I realized I had Eric's car keys.  So after work on Monday I headed back down to the beach, we made the most of it by going to dinner out on Oceanside Harbor.

Last Thursday, dad of the year taking the boys to Fisherman's. 

And dad putting them to bed in Carlsbad Friday night, before I arrived, again, dad of the year!!  Love you!

Lucky me!

Yesterday I celebrated my 39th birthday with my boys.  I am one lucky girl to have these boys to call my very own.  We had dinner and then went downtown for ice cream.  

On Saturday morning I took the boys and met Tash and her kids at Splashtopia at the Rancho Las Palmas Resort.  Leslie was out visiting with her kids and we had so much fun, an added bonus that Sabrina works there!

Saturday night we had a party, part beginning-of-the-summer party, part birthday party.  It was an added bonus having my dad there to help me celebrate.  We missed having mom there too, she was in PA with her family.  Uncle Cork passed away that morning and he will be very missed.  She was glad she had been there for his last week and for Stacy.  

As always, had to take some pics with my girls!!

Tash 'made' me a beautiful cake which Niko added some extra bunny love to.  

The boys.

I got spoiled at work as well as by friends, again, lucky girl.

Cali turned 11 on Monday and the boys had to sing her happy birthday with treats dangling above her head.  Not so sure that was fun for her, but we really love that girl!!!

Another weekend in Carlsbad and stuff.

Date nite with Tash and Zolt, as always, so much fun!!!

And super yummy!!!

Ty got to go to Knotts with Eric and the 8th graders for a special day, he loves hanging out with Daddy and the big kids.

Tash and I did a road trip to Phoenix for a work trip, always worth it when she's involved!!!

Luke and Mace went to Auburn with Emily for 9 days, she came to visit and wanted to take them home, they went will bells on, they love their time with Emily and Iven and I miss them so much but know they are having the best time!

Auntie Jill and Jon have puppies and they spent some time with them so we kept getting the 'i want this puppy' text.  Super cute but nope.

Happy boys...poor puppies!!

Eric celebrated the last day of school with the guys that he started out in 1998 teaching with.  They are so fun and by the time I dropped them off my face hurt from laughing so much, love them!!!

And on Friday we went to my new favorite place, Carlsbad.  We did some beach time on Saturday then took the Coaster down to the Padres game. Amazing time and so much fun with the big boys and great friends. 

Yum!!!

Not enough to win but fun for us!

A perfect Sunday at the beach.  I couldn't ask for more. 

2 very happy boys.  Love them!!

Our new fave place.....Carlsbad!!!

We spent Memorial Day weekend at Kerri and Niko's new place in Carlsbad.  A block from the beach, a block from the lagoon, perfect little house and great friends...what else do you need???

Saturday morning Eric and I took Luke and Mace to the LIttle Italy Mercado in downtown San Diego.  Four blocks of food and even better, samples!!  I was in heaven!

Later we met up with everyone else for some ride at Belmont Park, lunch at the Wave House in Mission Beach and even a little swim in the ocean, in their clothes.

THey all wanted a big ice cream, so I got them that while Eric took them to play at the beach. 

They went all in, got freezing cold and still insisted on eating their cold treat.  Looks like fun right???

Just in case you wondered where the best vacation photo is...

The house from the front. 

An awesome seafood dinner out back.  

Monday was a full day at the beach, a beautiful day.

Ty tried some boogie boarding.

Someone was a little pooped by the time we headed home.

A perfect family/friend/fun weekend!!  I can't wait until next time!!!
