San Fransisco

At the end of July, Jeff and I had the opportunity to go to San Fransisco on a business trip for lighting designers. It was the whole wine and dine thing. It was a nice time away, but we had very little time to ourselves.

We took a dinner cruise on the SF Bay, and cruised right by Alcatraz. We also ate at a little restaurant in Berkley, that now has me on the hunt for fried olives - SO good! We also took a wine tour in Napa Valley.

I also was able to do a little shopping in downtown while Jeff was in a meeting. I went to Fisherman's Wharf, Ghirardelli Square, and most importantly The Container Store.

Like I said, it was a nice time away, and they planned really nice things for us to do, we were just always with other people and didn't have time to do anything just ourselves.

Happy 5th Birthday Hayley ~ July 5th, 2011

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HAYLEY!!!!!

I can not believe my baby turned 5! She is growing up so fast and becoming such a little girl! For her 5th Birthday she had an "just friend" Birthday Party with her closest friends. We had a Tea Party Theme and all the girls wore their pretty dresses.

During the Party they participated in a few games; a sugar cube race, and pin the butterfly on the flower. They danced, made tea party hats and also fans.

They enjoyed tea, which was actually strawberry lemonade, cupcakes, and a wide variety of candies that were on the table.

Hayley had a great time and really enjoyed it. Now it is time for her to stop growing!! : )

And the baby is...

A BOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff's Hiking Trip

Jeff and three other buddies when hiking last weekend in the Adirondack Mountains in upstate NY. It was a great, but very wet, time! Thankfully, they did not encounter any bears!!!

Cole's First Haircut

On June 11, 2011 we took Cole to Snip-It's for his First Haircut! He basically had a baby mullet and it was time to say "Bye Bye" to the little curls in the back! He looks so much older and his face looks fuller now!!

Trip to NJ

The girls and I traveled to NJ the first week in June for a fun filled weekend! We enjoyed some crabs cooked by my brother, the sprinkler, my cousin's pool and the girls got to go to a Circus. We had a great time and all the kids did great traveling.
