Memorial Day weekend fun!!!
Memorial Day weekend always means summer is almost in my grasp. It's so close I can taste it and I love it! I LOVE summer, everything about it. The smells, the warmth, the long days. And the laziness of it all. Well, things don't seem so lazy on the mom's side but I remember it meaning laziness when I was a kid. :) Anyway, we had a fun, full weekend for the holiday. Grandma came down after her recent trip to Hawaii and brought some wonderful presents. I didn't get a picture of Tatum in her coconuts and grass skirt (which she loves) but here she is doing a fish painting with colored sand, really cool. She's getting more and more interested in art projects which is nice since her brother could color, paint, draw and be artistic all day.
Leanne came down for the weekend and we enjoyed a night out in Del Mar. It started with some amazing appetizers, dinner and drinks at the Poseidon, delicious. Then we headed to the Belly Up for a Sublime cover band. I guess we're pretty old because we figured the band would come on at 10. A band came on at 10, after the opening band, but it didn't sound at all what we were hoping for. Soon, after about a half hour and thoughts of leaving, we realized that this band was just another opening band. The real band started at 11! Since when do they have two opening bands and start shows at 11?! Anyway, since we had a lot of down time, we decided we needed to take a lot of pictures of ourselves...
On Sunday, my neighborhood put on their annual Memorial Day block party and everyone showed up! We had lots of food, delicious BBQ, and a large rolling bar with lots of tasty margaritas. Everyone was enjoying themselves.
The most wonderful thing about the block party is there are tons of kids, all ages so our children are
guaranteed to be entertained by someone else. I don't think I did much for my kids the whole time since they were instantly whisked away to play with others. Here's Olivia, a neighbor girl who just recently hit the baby sitting age. She is wonderful with the kids and we can't wait to have her do some baby sitting this summer. This is Collin from down the street, Ty's BF. :)
Our fun and wonderful neighbors!
The ice cream lady came and the kids went wild!
I love my Lee and Jenny time!
Boys being boys. :)
We were so excited that the
Jazayeri's made it down to enjoy the party with us. Mattie loved all the action and Cam was such a good little boy.
Ty loved all the places to explore. :)
And the big kids loved the water balloon and water gun fight! I love this picture of our neighbor Matt getting Trevor right in the face, so fun!
And here is Leslie, Veronika and her two sisters. I know I've said this before but we're just so lucky to have moved into this wonderful neighborhood!
The block party takes place on a
cul de sac in front of Michelle's house. She has a lot of pets and one of the kids suggested that people bring their pets and put them on the lawn like a petting zoo. After awhile, it was time for the pets to go back inside but the cages stayed up and we started putting the kids inside instead. :)
As if we hadn't had enough fun, our neighbors, the
Douds, invited us down to their place for more fun. It was Veronika's birthday and someone left this for her on the lawn. I wonder if she ever figured out who did it. :)
The
Douds have three children, Trevor, Andrew and their youngest, Addison. Here's Addi playing with our kids in their really cool sand box. Ty loves it and we so need one in our backyard!
Ty loves
watermelon, he could sit all day and eat away on it. Here's a pic where he took a moment away from chewing to say cheese but I got his eyes closed. Such a cutie though.
And this is Anderson, from down the street. He was in Tatum's preschool class and Ty adores him. Here they are enjoying cream puffs together.
Chillin' in the pool.
The ladies. I missed this pictures since I was with Tatum in the bathroom, boo.
And all the kids besides Ty who couldn't be pulled away from the sand box. :)
And the B ball boys. :)
Some action shots of the pros.
Here's Tatum enjoying some lunch next to Addi. Such wonderful friends and great memories.
