Leanne, my dearest friend since 3rd grade, turned 34 and we all celebrated by going to a delicious sushi restaurant.
Some how we were talked into going to a Karaoke bar to celebrate further and this was a first for me. I was totally uninterested in going anywhere that I had to sing in public but this place had little rooms you could rent. We sang our hearts out for over an hour and no one booed us once!
Yep, that's Sweet Child O' Mine you see on the screen. :)
We have a tree in our backyard that gets these beautiful white blossoms in the winter. We just cut a hole in our back wall so we can see it clearly from the house. But in the summer, it has delicious red plums! Last year we came out back to check on the plums and they had dropped so fast and we missed our window. But this year, we picked lots of yummy plums and the kids loved it.
When Mattie came down, she helped us pick some plums too. So sweet and delicious.
Look at these three. I love Ty's tummy sticking out here. :)
Tatum took a two week swimming lesson session which was much needed. She's had a fear of swimming or water in general since she came out of the womb. But her teacher Miss. Alicia did a wonderful job with her and Tatum felt comfortable laying back in the water,...
blowing bubbles, putting her face in, and even going under! She would jump from the side of the pool into Miss. Alicia's arms and go under, so exciting!
And she had her good friend Kaitlin in her class which really helped and made Tatum feel comfortable. These two are going to be long time friends. :)
Garrett was nice enough to watch the kids and let me get away with my mom and my "aunties" Jane and Barbara for some wine tasting in
Temecula. We hit 5 wineries, had a delicious brie bread bowl and bought some wonderful wine and pasta sauce. Thanks girls for a fun day away!
One of our favorite things to do in the summer is to attend the free concerts in the different parks around San Diego. This is Tatum and Ellie enjoying a concert in Coronado. Yummy food, a fun play ground, and great outside time!
And this is Ellie's sister Julia, 8 months old and as cute as can be. She enjoyed the music too.
We headed to Irvine to catch some more concert fun at the
Peppertree Park in
Tustin. Here's Cameron and
Sadri dancing it out to some
rockin' music.
Ty is quite the dancer and spent a bit of time on the dance floor with Grandma. He absolutely LOVES guitars so he was right up at the front of the stage, starring at the guitar player, and then occasionally mimicking his movements, so cute. Otherwise, he enjoyed sitting on the blankets, eating great food and posing for photographs. :)
Since we were in Irvine, and Jenny's annual pass to Pretend City was expiring, we met her and the kids there to have a few hours of fun. Ty really enjoyed the tool room, another one of his favorite topics.
Everyone enjoyed the stage, even sweet baby Cam!
And the girls enjoyed all the rooms, including the Dr. office. Here's Tatum being the Dr. and taking care of her patient Mattie.
Oh no, some one has a cavity!
And then some stage time!
Oh, and another posed picture of Ty. :)
Here's a quick glimpse of Ty rocking out. You can't really tell from a picture but he gets down and loves the music and lights they have on the stage at Pretend City. That's what I need to turn my garage into, a stage! :)
And then it was off to the beach for the girls in a BMW. Ty enjoyed the sand pit behind.
And what better way to enjoy the end of our Irvine trip, than breakfast in bed together! This was so cute, Ty couldn't wait to crawl up and sit with Tatum and they shared the tray. Such sweet siblings, every now and again at least. :)
