July

 

Our Halloweenie Bo beanie turned 4!

Little Rascals feels like the perfect, fun, happy summer movie:) 

Our CLOCK has arrived!!! Yay. 

Bouncing bubbles. Influenced by the Instagram. Regretted this since we did it inside and the recipe contains SUGAR & popped bubbles all over kitchen floor = sticky. Oh well. These babies had fun while it lasted;) 

4th of July pancakes presented by the Noelle. 

She loves this tradition now. 

Me, Michael Joe and Uncle Don went to see Indiana. So much fun. A long one and the girls hung out with their Great Grandma Florence…cutting the strawberries for shortcake:) 

We did fireworks and hot tub time at Tia Stephanie’s later but this year the illegals were really out of control. Too close & loud for us. The girls were not having fun and we ended up coming over to our place to finish off some that Brian had gotten. Kiiind of a bummer but Nano was such a sweet, comforting cousin. I am more impressed by that one lately. 

Sitting with the baby boys. 

This Noelle and her microwave cakes:) Vanilla this time. Yum. 

Girls did dance class twice a week in Modesto for 4 weeks and 

I shopped :) 

Sophia’s chicken’s eggs! Yum. 

Monterey Weekend. 

Best summer puzzle!

SO…my girls were influenced on the YouTube to order whatever the people in front of you order so we chanced it for lunch one day and they ended up with a 10 piece nugget meal and 3 ice cream cones!!!! 

Kinda perfect. 

Creating our own stained glass for now:) 

Dance performance day. These girls. Sia always looks like she is just enjoying herself SO fully! Noelle is so into it and very concentrated & Gwinna is just smiley and looking a tad reserved (odd…since offstage she is not at all). SO FUN to watch them all. 

Shopping with my gals again at 5 Below. Always fun. Who even knew?! They did I guess…and Tia Sophia! Ha!

Michael’s Silva Injury Law business party. 6 years! Too much fun. 

To be completely honest I dread ANY kind of event or party but once I am there I often end up being OK. Michael took off early and me and the girls stayed the whole time. All about the face paint, snow cones and edible cookie dough! Yum. Beautiful venue at East Lake Ranch. We were all melting but had a good time. And the sunset on the way home ❤

Photo bombers. 

Aunt Lili art for Gwinna 💜💜💜💜💜

Big 11th for our pretty Gwinny. We cannot help it, we all like to spoil her. Her sisters always get her the best gifts. Sia got her axolotl stickers and made her an axolotl tape bowl creation. Noelle made her an axolotl bag and got her a little Gwinna blanket. Cute sisters.

Another gift (not pictured) we all gasped at was the axolotl sweatshirt from Tia Sophia and Grandma and Grandpa! Perf.  

My puzzle baby. 

DAD!!!! Trying to die right after RETIRING. NOT OK.

Third puzzle of the month!

Finally made these cookies…a couple months ago me and Noelle got so excited in Michaels because we found The Sweet Tooth Fairy brand frosting, cookie mix and sprinkles and bought it all to do these 4th of July creations! Yum. 

Gwinna. Organized little lady. 

Also the month of play dates. 

Spoiled by Sophia. Early Halloween decor AND a cookie on a night I NEEDED it! 

Gwinna got braces this month along with her bestie Charlotte💙

UP legos for dad … Gwinna did the whole thing alone. Lots of fighting over this one. AND perler bead bracelets that I melted down (influenced by the IG again!) this time it was a success! 

Thanks Aunt Lili for the mini cupcake pan…used for everything but cupcakes this month💜

😋😛😀

ALSO not pictured this month we went to The Addams Family musical performed by the high school program the Yes company at Gallo. Absolutely amazing! These kids. So talented. Fester really stole the show! He was just meant to be on the stage. Fearless. So so fun to watch when that is the case…meant to be doing what they are doing, getting lost in the moment of it all. We were really blown away…talked about it for days as a family. It is so much fun to be able to take the kids to these too because they are immediately inspired and we can see it in their faces as they watch. 

Gwinna auditioned for a spot in the GCYA program. They have to audition to even get in as they get older! So nerve wracking but SO exciting for her too. She has been taking voice lessons and loving it and gaining so much confidence. She came back to us feeling really good about it because she was singing with a couple of older girls for the group audition part and they forgot the words but she kept going :) Yay Gwinna.
