Jessy turns 3!

Lucky girl had 3 birthday celebrations for her 3rd bday.

Jessica's first preschool celebration at Good Shepherd.  Always a ham!

 We had Jess' birthday dinner at Arigato. So fun and so yum!

Jess really likes using the chopsticks.

My handsome boys. 

I love this little monkey so so much.

Green Tea ice cream for dessert. Happy happy 3rd birthday indeed.

We had a big party at Padaro Grill in Carpinteria. It was a bit of a disaster because all the tables with shade had already been taken and it was about a million degrees out. Yikes! But Jess and the kids had a great time and that's all that matters. We were thrilled so many friends came out to celebrate with us. 

I was pretty happy with the way Jess' birthday banner turned out thanks to the help of my awesome neighbor Brenda and Sophie.

 Samantha and Thatch gave Jess an awesome scoot bike with a sparkly pink paint job from Todd. It was a HUGE hit! Thanks Fallon family!

The mommies. 

Jessy asked for white cake with flowers on top, my kind of girl.

Happy Birthday my sweet sweet girl. You give us all 'Happy Hearts'! xoxox

Sailing and hanging at the harbor (from July.... I thought I had already posted but did not).

Connor enjoyed a week of sailing camp through the SB Sailing Center. This kid was over the moon happy every day at pick up. He actually said "I do not have words for how much fun I had"! He is a huge sailing fan now. I can't wait to get him back out there. 

We had a SUPER fun evening with Ronda and the kiddos.

So fun! We all had HAPPY HEARTS.

Happiness from the last few weeks . . .

SB Rodeo. Yeehaw Connor absolutely loves the rodeo and was mesmerized by it all. Jess was more interested in being taken to the restroom 10,000 times. However Chris and I decided we are signing her up for Mutton Bustin next year. She would totally kick but. 

We watched Sammy dance Flamenco with Bella and Leila. Great job Sammy! 

 The Paskin's spoiled us with a wonderful alfresco dinner in their magical backyard. 

Thanks for a terrific meal Chef Sarah. 

 So many fun pix.

 The kids both did great at the dentist. Jess watched Connor get his teeth cleaned and she kept asking for her turn. Big brother paves the way again. Oh and held her hand to boot. 

Connor you are a terrific older brother.

 Random fun pix . . . 

Helping out at the Hollister Secret Garden. I will not go on and on about how much I realized I hate gardening, lets just say a lot! 

 But I don't hate paddle boarding :)  Connor and I went with Marina and Bella. The kids were very comfortable as you can see in the photos below. 

Grateful for all these happy times.

Fun summer pix

This summer has been filled with many fun memorable moments with friends. We are grateful for this simple life filled with love and friends. 

 

Ahhhh Summer . . . I wish you would never end.
