365 Day 212

Although we've known for awhile, we finally got the announcements finished - and since I didn't keep the blog current, I can post this now.

365 Day 211

Last day in Monterey! We decided to check out the Mirror Maze (the kids museum was closed for another hour!) and I was surprised with just how fun it was! Us adults actually enjoyed the mirror maze portion and the kids had a blast with the laser maze. They gave you these 3D glasses to wear (I think the kids wore them) but most us adults couldn't handle the vertigo/seasickness type effects they caused. 

365 Day 210

My first time ever visiting the Monterey Bay Aquarium and naturally she only smiled or let me take her picture with it was Liv's idea first. So thankful for good friends!

365 Day 209

Not only do we have the best friends in the world, but these best friends planned and went on a last minute vacation with us, and found a great place to stay where the let us use their trailer for the weekend! With kids in tow, this was an awesome way to travel!

365 Day 208

365 Day 206

Although she loved the idea of this (as did I) actually getting a picture I liked was difficult. This one ended up being the one we sent out to everyone. She really loved her party and this year even helped me sign her thank you cards. Of course, she got really mad when I wrote on them too...

365 Day 205

Trying to take a picture for thank yous. This one didn't work, but her smile is precious. She LOVED dancing in the bubbles

365 Day 204

Another picture from our visit last week at the State Fair. We had such a good time!

Our favorite wine maker had a new wine for the summer. As you can see we liked it

365 Day 201

Brother and Sister actually getting along

365 Day 200

Avocado, bacon, tomato, onions, bbq sauce, and a hamburger made of ground beef and ground bacon filled with onion cheddar cheese. I'm sorry arteries, but yum

365 Day 199

Finally getting to the State Fair! The boys really wanted to go on the farris wheel so they bought tickets. 

The ride totally jipped them but they still had fun

365 Day 198

Dark and purple.

Rocking the guns at her cousins birthday party at Wacky Tacky!

365 Day 188

Bubble machines are so much fun! 

365 Day 187

Yesterday I was using scissors to open the bubble machine package. I got distracted talking to people and snipped my finger instead. After bleeding (all over my poor sisters kitchen) I was taken to urgent care for stitches. This is my band aid.  This thing makes it really hard to type!

365 Day 186

To think I almost skipped the singing part this year. 

Last year she hated it, this year she said it was her favorite part.

365 Day 185

Trying out one of the games for the party. She got in it and started hopping without even being asked! Apparently kids just know what to do in sack races!

365 Day 184

Another attempt from trying to take her picture for her birthday

365 Day 183

Someone was happy to run away with my Jamba. I got the big one so we could all share but the cup is almost bigger than she is
