Baseball and blenders.
We went to get a treat after dinner. I was thinking ice cream or a cookie and Ryder went straight to jalapeño chips. 🤷♀️
Leanne taking a photo of her ex-husband with his new pregnant wife (who looks similar to Leanne) and her daughter while standing next to her new husband. My favorite modern/divorced family, they do such a great job!
We saw Sugarland at the SB Bowl that night.
I loved her outfits!
Bumped into my friend and client, Jennifer.
Thatcher looks exactly like everyone else when you have to go to the DMV. Side note: I made an appointment but that still means you have to wait. 🤷♀️
Peabody Sports Camp
The bee sting reaction that would. not. go. away. This was a week after he had been stung. Somehow he managed to swing a bat and catch a ball. And now we know to administer Benadryl immediately as the window seems to be missed on Thatcher if not done right away.
Rose Cafe's spicy margarita! 💃
Breakfast for dinner!
Brophy's with the O'Flynn family. Roo cracks me up!
Then on to the Funk Zone with kids.
And dads.
Winery hopping.
I don't remember the name but they have a playroom with a babysitter for your kids. Genius idea!
Best place to go after a day at the beach.
All the boys at the Tennis Club.
So I made the mistake of showing a picture of my chalkboard-wall-thing to my friend Bess because we were talking about organizing and I was saying how my chalkboard-wall-thing has become the wall of junk.
And she scared the hell out of me by showing up minutes later saying she was, "just in the area" and wanted a few minutes to sort through my chalkboard-wall-junk. 😩
She's for hire people!
Lollipop doing her very best impression of the greyhound on the side of the bus.
I need to do this more.
She can't just ride down the hill, she's gotta stop and check the waves.
He's got our credit card. Dangerous.
Guard dog Dixie.
Lollipop being a good spectator and watching the girls dance.
This shirt never gets old.
These two.
Overcast day at the yacht club.
I don't know why the background turned like this but we were having lunch with that overcast background behind us.
Sneaking pictures of Jack Johnson on my flight from SBA to SFO.
I did some mild stalking.
On another note, SB seriously has the best airport, ever.
I forgot my brush on my trip and the hotel offered me this. I should have put something next to this for size comparison. Not sure this would even work on a Barbie doll.
Leanne sent me this from her house in Montana sharing that she put our trip's photo up on her wall from last year in an effort to get us to book another trip. We had agreed that it would be an annual trip. The Fallons didn't hold up their end of the bargain. 😕 Hoping for this summer! 🤞
Summer bike rides to the harbor with Summer. ☀️
Thatcher can barely open his eye with that Jr. Guard eye injury he had.
I can't remember whose birthday this was which tells me I need to not be so behind on this blog. Mary's birthday, I think?!?! 😬
The fun part about the dentist. The treasure chest.
Dodged a bullet with no cavities with the amount of snack shack junk these kids eat during baseball/softball season.
My mother-in-law is so cute. I'd recognize the Lulu branding no matter what. 😂
Celebrating my birthday with the family at Arigato.
Todd always gets the best cards. (and Lollipop) 😂
Father's Day cards for Todd. Todd is definitely a favorite with the kids due to his candy stash he keeps in his car.
"Dudley" means "Dude-ly" So Todd's a "Dude" not a "Dud" 😂
Going away party for the Stone family.
Miss this sweet family so much!
Pool day at the Pirozzi pad.
Love the way Jess is looking at Thatch. 😍
These two like each other. A lot.
I hadn't seen one of these in so long! I used to love Cactus Cooler!
Jill looking so chic!
Longing for pool days like this again. Come on spring and summer, get here!
This was the third time we waited in line to get the kids' passports renewed.
I don't have the energy to explain why it took three times and in the end, extra fees.
So sad to replace these from five years ago.
Happy Birthday to Vela! (I love that Nilus got in line with the girls). All arranged in height order!
Sleepover success!
The end of the year Washington Elementary School party. It's one of my favorite parties to crash.
One of my favorite places to work off site, the new Hilton.
Sabrina turned 40!
Back at the Hilton.
Boogie boarding after guards.
Duo Cioppino Party at Shoreline Park
Master Chef Brian!
Sushi after guards.
Which turned into a late night!
And a sleepover!
These five were selling "junk" they found in Sam's room. I was worried someone would actually buy what they were selling. It looks like Thatcher and Drew are literally selling trash because that IS Thatcher's trash can 🤔
The GMM Team in our new matching t-shirts.
Community service with the team. Our fingers were orange after all the carrot sorting at the Food Bank.
Sam may have a little bit of Bess in her with her organizing.
Even organizing her "booty shorts"
And "stuff that makes her warm"
Ready for braces however with all that we had planned for the summer, we waited until just before school started to start her mouth of metal.
Shopping for new junior guard red swimsuits but trying on sunglasses was more fun.
