JULY

 

Our Halloweenie Bo beanie baby turns 5!

4th of July 2024 we decided to escape the heat from 3-5th

Homegoods

Sushi @ 
Wakatobi Japanese Grill Hibachi and Sushi in Seaside - GOOD one! 
Monterey beach/wharf cioppino & bread pudding @ domenicos- not even great
Day 2
Charging MJ’s hummer/Pet Smart - fell in love with our new brother kitties Boo & Poe / target (find Gwinna’s water bottle-buy buckets/ got spoons & mixing bowls instead..Jamba for lunch-back to say hi to kitties- try to not get pooped on by all seagulls)
Pacific Grove shopping @ antique places
Vintage finds, treasure grove (mj found cool jury art) and girls found 3 buckets and shovels!! Ha. 

After telling Noelle we wouldn’t find any in antique places
Dinner @ Vivolo’s chowder house. YUM. Every bite of my clam chowder- amazing. 

Michael admitted cioppino was better there too.
Del monte beach for the rest of the day - 
Just EXISTING outside feels so good here. Perfect weather & add a sweatshirt when by the beach = heaven for me. 
Last day - picked up Poe and Boo. Linda (adoption lady) was so happy to help us with it all. 

Sweet kitties hardly meowed on our two hour ride home 

 

Noelle with a fudge bar in her OWN bed with her own TV on watching iCarly. Good life. 

After this mini getaway I got covid the very next day & suffered the worst. FATIGUE, lost smell, lost taste…lots of old movies, threw in a Christmas one…wow. It knocked me out for a couple weeks. 

Trump almost gets killed on TV! Crazy. They showed this over and over. Just surreal. He is a wild man, fist in the air almost immediately after yelling “fight! Fight! Fight!” Different breed he is. So crazy how close he was to getting a bullet in the back of his head…got his ear instead. 

Gwinnas twelfth! She got waaaay too much sugar from all of us. Olde Tyme mushroom cupcakes from the daddy, Noelle made her custom ordered Bluey themed cookies and Sia did cake pops!!! She got a phone. Took a long while of convincing for that one to happen but it really is no different from her ipad and all same rules apply just more exciting for her I suppose. Ha. 

Poor Sia. Twice we had to go get her teeth pulled out this month to get prepared for braces on next month!!! She is chill though. 

Only pictures I got of our Great Wolf Lodge adventure since we were in our suits the rest of the time. Too fun and Soph showed me there was a pool outside that was probably my favorite part! A beach type entrance that was so nice just to sit in & watch the babies. 

STITCH by SIA. She said it is not finished but I LOVE IT!!! 

Silva Injury Law party. Always the best shaved ice we have! 

Hanging out with Asher since Avo is recovering from her knee surgery this month. We love this boy. He cracks us up and is just a sweetie, speedy talking, Disney loving little man who NEVER wants to leave his cousins house. 

YOGA gathering with the Tia Sophia. I believe the girls did not realize how good of a workout it truly is! Mack Murray. Haha…a reason Soph leaves the house to get her yoga in ;)

Kitty blanket from Soph. Hehehe. PERF. 

Always baking this summer. These were good ones. Roasted almond, cherry, dark chocolate chip cookies! Oh but Soph made s’mores ones with the girls at their slumber party that were SOOOO good. BIG, amazing, need to do them again ones! 

Early to our spontaneous Inside Out 2 movie so we played arcade games. SO exciting when Sia actually got a claw machine toy! Haha. 

The movie was sweet. Nostalgia (little old lady) was my very favorite character and we went to the Turlock theater so I was feeling that this day! 

This kid. 😂

Inspired by the Ant Lili….lego organizing, crafting, creating and brownie batter ice cream!!!

2nd tooth removal trip…she talked me into another arcade trip at 10 pin after.

Most of the makeup was referred to as “caca” by Asher. 😂

Rainbow baby with her rainbow cake. 

Occasionally I craft with my girls too. 

Gallo Summer Soirée. Yummy food. We came, we ate, we left. 

Getting excited for HALLOWEENIE, of course. Anthropologie wish list!
