My babies

My babies turned 8 this past week.  I'm having some trouble uploading pics so this is the only one for now.  We had a fun time celebrating Julie's birthday on Friday and then the boys wanted a party for their birthday.  Eric spent all day putting up their new trampoline and we had friends over for fish tacos and the fight. Sunday we went to Smokin' Burgers and then ice skating.  They loved but I realized that at 41, my days of ice skating may be over....

40th Celebration!!

This past weekend Zack and Jessi flew in from MN to surprise Eric for his party.  We had a great time at Fishermans on Friday.

Mason and the Godfather.

Saturday was lazy and hanging out getting ready for the big party.

Bryce came out from LA and Derek from Phoenix to celebrate with their high school buddy.  I love that they are all still close 20 years later.

I'm not sure who had more fun, the kids or the adults!!

Ty and Mary.

We had a taco truck, margaritas and a keg of XX.  With 72 guests we pretty much finished every drop!

Blog buddies Vern & Zack.

Fuego!

Some shots were done...

and some toasts were made.

And then Sunday Funday.  We rounded out a fabulous weekend with such a fun day on Sunday!

I love all of our wonderful friends who traveled far and near to celebrate with us. 

We are so lucky. xxoo

Celebrating and new things

I took the boys new shoe shopping one night last week and this is what we ended up with.  Adidas in many colors.

We did a family dinner at Mario's to celebrate Eric's 40th.

The next night just he and I went out and ended up meeting up with Tash and Zolt at the Pub.

Friday we headed out to Sierra Madre for the weekend and got our first taste of their wildlife.

Another birthday celebration.

Saturday we took the train to Chinatown!

The boys have been asking for years to go....it was hot out but the boys got their coveted Ninja Stars and we all got some pretty good food.

And guess what?  Baseball started for the winter.  Ty is team captain again and excited.  The twins opted out of this season and want to try flag football.

1st day of school.  One 5th grader and two 2nd graders.  They all came home with the report of "Fantastic!" for the first day.  

(And even though they have not spoken all summer, Ty reported that Glaisy is still his girlfriend!)
