Happy 3rd Birthday Grey

Our nephew, Greyson, turned three on June 26th and he celebrated with a pool party! It was such a fun day in the sun! Pool, cupcakes and friends! So much fun! Happy 3rd Grey- we love you!

How sad! My camera doesn't even have pictures of the birthday boy-except this one from the back. Wow!

Some great men

Happy Father's Day to three amazing Dads!!

First to my dad who is kind, fun and always ready to wrestle the kids. You have always been supportive of us three girls growing up. The kids are lucky to have a fun Poppi!

Second, to my father-in-law, Stan. What a fun Grandpa you are! There is no bug you won't find, no ball you won't hit, and no story you won't tell. The kids love their Grandpa!

And to the best daddy around, my hubby. Maddy and Brody scored big when they got you for a daddy. The love you have for them is amazing. I love you more everyday when I see you with them. I always knew you would be an amazing daddy, but your surpassed my expectations. We love you!

weekend in the city

we just returned from a fabulous, fun-filled, beautiful weekend in san francisco. the city is amazing! people are bustling about, the wind is blowing and you can feel the energy. we could not have asked for a more perfect weekend to be there-the weather was AMAZING and there was something exciting to celebrate! on friday night we were still home and gathered at my parents' house where we got a phone call from alyssa that she had just said "YES!!!" casey popped the question and had a fun night planned for them. we were already heading there the next morning to take maddy on a special trip to see where auntie lou and uncle casey live. brody got to stay with gamma and poppi and get them all to himself. since we were only there for 24 hours, we left busy boy at home and he had a great time!  we did too- the trip was so fun! we did A LOT on saturday. we did everything that maddy wanted to do in her san francisco book. we saw the sea lions, went to the pier, picnic at palace of fine arts, chocolate factory, dinner and ride on the trolley cars. maddy went to bed and we stayed up to play a fun game of scene it. did you know that bruce lee was in the brady bunch? just ask alyssa and mike. :) we ended our trip the next morning with a yummy breakfast and mimosas at polkers! it was a great trip and maddy already wants to go back!

i heart him

you are keeping us on our toes little man. you love to say dada, mama, bubble, wawa, hot and basketball. your dancing skills have only improved in the past couple of months and we think that you might be a baseball star! you have HUGE teeth that popped through last month. i LOVE your kisses and high fives. how did i get so lucky to be your mama?

we love you brods.

Good morning San Francisco

We are really looking forward to our upcoming San Fran trip! Every night we read a favorite book from Auntie Lou and Uncle Casey called Good Morning San Francisco. Tonight Maddy called Brody over so she could read it to him. I had tears in my eyes as she read him this story. Is this the cutest thing you have ever seen?? I love how she calls Lombard Street the "crazy cars" and asks to go on the "buses"!! We can't wait to show her San Fran! See you soon A and C!

think blue

Last night we had amazing seats to a Dodgers game from Mike's work. I love to see my hubby happy- and he is a happy camper watching the Dodgers. We had a fabulous date night.  We laughed in the car, held hands walking to the game and ate Dodger dogs. Felt like we were young and dating! Love you babe!

love this girl.

she is beautiful. she is sensitive. she is a sweetheart.
 i am the luckiest mama in the world!
