Now that the Olympics are over, my evenings are more free and I can get back to blogging!
Initially, I thought our summer would be pretty lowkey since our "scheduled" life of spring had ended (Preschool, Friend School, MOPS, etc), but boy was I wrong! This has been one BUSY summer, but it has been filled with fun things! Here are pictures of some highlights! We've also done swimming lessons, VBS, and a week-long family trip to Butano, but these will all have their own posts (coming soon!).
At the beginning of June, we had the pleasure of having Noah's cousin, Katie and her husband, Alan stay with us and we got to go to a Dbacks vs Padres baseball game (Keira got to spend the afternoon at Legoland with Oliver--lucky girl!!).
Alan is from Arizona, so I guess it's okay that he's a Dbacks fan!
We had AMAZING seats!
Blast from the past!
Matt Williams, who played 3rd base for the Giants when Noah and I were young & used to watch baseball.
How sad that I don't even know this guy's name!
Great picture from Noah though!
FUN!!
Action shot!
Alan is a true fan!
We are still relishing Noah's freedom from Grad School and enjoy doing spontaneous things together. This is a fun dinner outing to a Mexican restaurant in Old Town. Super fun and great food.
Best part: Kids eat free!!
We've been attending free dance/movement classes at the library (in preparation for the REAL thing which will start in a few weeks!!). There are always a ton of kids and it's complete madness, but Keira enjoys it! On this day, she got to dance with her 2 best girl friends!
All that dancing wore them out!
Costco is so much more fun with a friend!
And eating samples with a friend is even BETTER!!!!!
Keira got a lot of fun gifts for her birthday. Here she is modeling two of them: the Minnie Mouse dress and the baby sling. At first, I put a baby doll in the sling, but she quickly took it out and wanted to carry Elmo instead (of course!).
Hands-free with Elmo!
Still able to do some drawing while Elmo hangs out in the sling (see his eyes poking out?)
Celebrating Father's Day!
Keira made the awesome tie at Art Soup!
We got to open gifts with our extended family still here and we spent a few hours in the afternoon exploring Balboa Park.
She loves her Daddy!
Chocolate donut with sprinkles = pure bliss!
Celebrating our 9-year anniversary at one of our favorite restaurants: The Prado!
I had the most amazing turkey burger I've ever eaten!
Thanks, MomSheila, for the gift card and thanks, M, M, & E for playing with Keira while we got to enjoy lunch and the Natural History Museum!
Summertime definitely calls for lots of playtime in the water!
Slip-n-sliding with Ella is the best!
Playtime with Nana is so fun!
On the agenda: Games!
Games...
...and more games!
We also got to spend some time with Grammy during her visit with us!
Whenever Grammy comes, we always take a trip to La Jolla Shores!
Life's a Beach!
We also got to take a trip to the beach with playgroup friends!
Seriously, life is hard here in San Diego!
During our "downtime" at home, Keira loves to play pretend Friend School.
This time, she is the teacher and Mommy is learning all about rainbows.
Keira took this pic of me sitting on the circle time mat.
Showing me the different types of rainbows.
She is such a good teacher!
Stay tuned for more pics of our summertime fun!
