Well hello there!

Well, I guess I took the summer off?  There were quite a few times over the summer where I thought "I should blog that." and then I would think "Oh, but first I need to blog about that.  But the pictures for that are on the server at home so I'll have to do it later."  Obviously I did not do it later.  This summer has been crazy busy for everyone, work has been nuts and so time just flew by! Before I knew it, Dominic was another year old and school starts tomorrow!  I'm going to try and make a promise to myself to blog at least once a month.  I really want to capture moments with my kids and the funny things they say.  We'll see how that goes...again!

Here are a few highlights...

Happy Birthday Dominic!
My baby boy is now 4 years old (and 2 months, but whose counting?)!  He had a really fun Cars birthday party where we broke a tree to fit a bouncy house (oops, I mean we did NOT break the tree...the tree broke on it's own), had a delicious grilled cheese bar, a  yummy ice cream cake, and the birthday boy had tons of fun bouncing around with his cousin & friends!  My sister takes awesome pictures so I asked her to be the photographer at his party since I never remember to take pictures the day of.  Here are some of the pics she took:

The tree we did NOT break to fit the bouncy house.

Dominic loves when they match!

Presents!

It is so hard to believe it has been 4 years since one of the best days of my life.  Time goes by so fast! :(

Backyard fun!
Since we moved, we now have an awesome backyard that the kids LOVE to be in!  They are out there all the time and would stay out there ALL THE TIME if we let them.  Here are a few pics of them enjoying the summer at home...

Happy 4th of July!

San Jose Giants

At Dominic's preschool auction we got some tickets for San Jose Giants games.  The kids have a lot of fun at the games and surprisingly enough, they actually behave quite well! These are some pics from a game we went to a couple weeks ago...

After the game, Dominic got to go onto the field & run the bases!

That was our summer in a nutshell!  Until next time! :)
