Summer Tales

I can't believe the summer is over- Labor Day weekend is this weekend- where in the world has the time gone?

We have had a great summer. I was going through the photos and realized that we took 700+ photos in August. High time to revisit the photos and fill some of you in on our summer!


Elliott has also taken to making faces and being silly. Sometimes I can break him out of a mood just by making some crazy face at him. Thank heavens kids are so silly.


This ride was pretty cool- they had to pull the rope and it would take them up- then let go and they would fall- both Craig and I were a little curious how Elliott would like this- he LOVED it- totally loved it. The bummer- all the rides were 2 people rides so this one was a Daddy and Elliott ride.

We took a little day trip to LegoLand in Carlsbad. They have a big water area that they claim is all about pirates- bit of a let down- but all in all was a good day with my boys.
Best ride at LegoLand- it is hilarious! It makes little clopping noises and moves up and down like it is galloping. So funny.




Elliott and I just liked the colors of this Lego dinosaur.








We decided to take a couple of days and take the boat to Catalina Island to go camping. It was beautiful and surreal. Where our little campsite was- truly made us feel like we were on an island. It was a boat in only site and we were the only ones in all 3 of the sites in the area. My first ever- Sleeping right next to the waves. So perfect.





I know- a little cheesy- but hey- we wanted a family picture that we would remember- where we were and what we were doing.


Between all of the company and Elliott's new love of the beach- we spent many a day there this summer. We had the greatest time. Quite blissful- well, most of the time.







All of my beautiful nieces. Crystal, Kimberly and Kenyon. Crystal and Kimberly were able to stay here for a little over 2 weeks with us- we all had a great time and have missed them- especially El.







Days in the pool- many days in the pool- we are a wee bit water logged. Craig has had a good time getting El to jump off different parts of the pool. It has been funny watching how El is so much more brave when just Craig and I are in the pool with him verses the whole crew.

New Bike

We got this fun learner bike for El- well we got it for him for his birthday this week- however, he found it last week- so we broke it out and he has been going to town ever since. It has been so great for him.

If you know...

Craig and I have gotten quite a good laugh at my new title. If you don't know- it won't hurt you- if you do know- well- can't we all quote "The Office" by now?

Anyway- it's been fun making a change. I am sure there will be a new one sometime soon too- I am always changing things on here- helps me in my need to be creative and make something (besides breakfast, lunch and dinner) since I am not doing floral design anymore. I am missing it a bit these days. Hence- the blog changes...

Messy

Pardon the mess- I am in the middle of a change.
