Nick's 37th Birthday!



This is one of my favorite pictures of the two of them...Nick was unwrapping Julia's birthday gift.



We celebrated Nick's 37th birthday with a cruise around the bay!








We finished up the excursions playing around Pier 39!

Summer 2017


Summer fun included Tilden park trains, Osage park, a sewing project, visiting Papa's store "incognito" so he wouldn't suspect it was us 😂 (and Uncle Jamie giving us the grand tour!) Pool time, the Oakland zoo, visits with family and hanging out at home!  It's so fun that we can venture out of the house more now that everyone is a little older!
It's a long afternoon without naps!









Celebrating Joy Duggar's wedding on our favorite TV show!




Juju and James taking a mid-afternoon bath.




Everyone vying for Nick's attention.



Pulling the wishbone.  Julia wanted to do it too, so Emmy allowed her to help Emmy pull.
😳


For some reason, the DMV required me to go down to renew my registration in person.  I had to take all the kids with me.  It took two tries and a couple of hours reading books and playing eye spy as we waiting and we finally got our sticker.  it was hard earned for all of us.

Coocoo clocks and Grandpa Jack's house.
Our summer sewing project: skirts for the girls and shorts for James.
Making pavers for Auntie Jackie's garden.

I had a special date with Juju while all the other kiddos were at summer camps or playing with Grammy, so we went to get our nails painted, got some Jamba Juice, and went to the library.  So grateful for our time together!
