Summer is flying by!

Can't seem to keep up with the blog these days.  But let's start with Father's Day.  We are so lucky to have spent this day with my Dad.  And Kaylen loved hanging out with her Poppi.




 So for my birthday this year, I got to have sushi for lunch and dinner!  My friend Courtney and her daughter Kyla joined us at I Luv Sushi.


That night Mike & I headed to our favorite sushi restaurant, Koi.  We tell the chef to prepare whatever is good that day.  Here are their creations.







Here is a pic of some of my birthday gifts...the things that make me happy.  Plus my hubby got me a fabulous pool float and an outside speaker to play my music!



We went to a White Trash Party the next day.  One of my previous coworkers, Angela, was the host.  She has always thrown some fabulous parties and it had been a while since we had been to one.






How about some pool pics?  We have spent a lot of time in the pool this summer.  Kaylen can now swim all the way across the pool without any floaties!


 Kaylen and Kyla


 Kaylen loves Sebastian!


Family pic!

I had to work the Fourth of July this year but Daddy & Kaylen had fun with some sparklers!

Here is our cutie!  I have been experimenting with a new collage app, can you tell?  When I posted this on facebook, some people thought it was her 4th birthday pic!  Haha!  I couldn't fit Happy 4th of July on there.  It's also a before and after pic, Kaylen got her bangs cut by Auntie Barb!


Here are some more of my collage pic experiments:




Here's a selfie...


At the end of July, Mike took a boy's trip to Portland, Oregon with two of his college buddies.  Kaylen & I had some good girl time and also hung out with Davina and Griffin in Santa Monica.  We actually got a babysitter and enjoyed dinner and a movie!  Great girl time!  Here are a couple of pics of our park excursion.






When the boys returned, they brought us Voodoo Doughnuts!  It was right across the street from their hotel.  Yummy!



Well August brought a lot of birthday parties!  Mike took Kaylen to our neighbor's girls birthday party across the street.  He took this great pic of our girl!  She loves cupcakes!


The next day we went to Jameson's 4th birthday party.  It was a Cars theme and Janet made an amazing cake once again!





The next weekend was Griffin's 3rd birthday and his party was at the beach in Santa Monica.  Kaylen loved the Splash Pad part of the party!






And Kaylen loves her bubble baths these days.  Daddy got this great pic of her.
