Lucky to have friends

It's been pretty hot around here so one night, after dinner, we called our neighbors Matt, Susan and Collin to meet us at one of our favorite parks for some kite flying. Hilltop Park is aptly named since it's on a large hill overlooking Poway, Rancho Penasquitos, Carmel Valley and if it's a clear day, you can see all the way to the ocean. Ty LOVES kites and kite flying. This was his second experience with it and he did a pretty good job of hanging on to the handle and keeping his kite up. His kite had Batman on it and he kept pointing and saying "mask' since he has a Batman mask at home.

Collin was an old pro. Look at this, one handed! These boys are only 18 days apart and such great friends. Well, I don't know as they know they're great friends, that will come into play when they actually notice each other at play dates. But they get along well. Collin is a calm, sweet, quiet boy, always absorbing and always following directions. Ty, on the other hand, is loud, outgoing, the first to have a melt down, and loves the limelight. These two make a perfect pair.

Tatum looks like a pro here too, one handed and gazing at her kite. She had an Ariel kite and did a wonderful job of keeping it up. She was also excellent at throwing the kites up when they'd fall down. She's loved kite flying since she was 2. Of course, the $2 kites we get at Walmart don't last long. One of these days we'll have to invest in a good kite, maybe even $10 worth! :)

Here's the one and only picture I took when we met up with my table mates from MOPs. Such an amazing group of girls and I'm sad to think about next season when we won't all be together. But we met at this awesome park in 4S, where they have a splash area and then a huge play structure. Fun for everyone.

Mommy and Daddy had a fun night out with friends. Leanne came down for a fun weekend and we met up with Erica and her husband Matt down in North Park. This use to be their home but they've recently moved to Tierrasanta so we had a one last hurrah at their favorite bar. Here's Garrett and Erica.

Leanne and I getting goofy.

My two loves. Notice the water in front of me, I was the DD.

I wanted to throw these two pictures in because Shauna brought over some delicious cup cakes one night and the kids went crazy. Ty couldn't wait to dive into the top.

These kids LOVE sugar and Shauna is constantly showering us with the most scrumptious desserts. We're so spoiled living down the street from GM! :)
