Insta July

How is it July 31st? 

That means tomorrow is August. NOOOOO.

I never like it when August 1st arrives.

August 1st means summer is almost over and that school is going to start in a few weeks.

UGH.

August also means that my baby is turning one. Tears.

Here is a snapshot of our July via Instagram.

July 1st started out with some fun news, when I got an email from BlogHer letting me know that I was selected as one of Blogher's Voices of the Year.

I was selected for for THIS post. Such an honor!

I also got the dreaded Jury Summons in the mail. Now, don't get me wrong, I would love to serve on a jury one of these years, but when my kids are older & I don't have to find child care for them.

Luckily, I got excused and didn't have to go because I am a nursing mother. Woot Woot!

So thankful, because it was for the Superior Court...those are some serious cases. Yikes.

We attended our dear friends beautiful 10 year vow renewal.

 My sister from another mister. Love this girl.

 My dress is from {here}

 Also attended a sweet baby shower for my friend Jessica's baby girl on the way.

Our trip to Tahoe. Happy Place.

Throwback Thursday....me in a boat in Lake Tahoe when I was 4.

 

 Family bike rides downtown. One of my favorite summertime activities.

 A rare colorful sky for California in the summertime.

 Early morning coloring.

 A special date with Mommy for donuts while Kate was a camp.

Kate lost her 2nd tooth on 7.21.13

Party supplies for the big first birthday. Thank you, Target.

 Back in Tahoe for more fun.

 Guess who took his first steps on Monday? And, on the beach of Lake Tahoe.

I couldn't think of a better place for him to do that!

Go, Lukey, Go!
