What I'm Reminiscing about.....

 I am  reminiscing about Luke. He turns 5 in less than 2 weeks!!!! What?!?!
These photos turned up in my timehop a few days ago.
I can't believe these were taken 5 years ago, when I was 8 months pregnant with Luke!
Can you believe there was a 9lb 6 oz baby in there?!?
See more of the photos {HERE}
It seems like just yesterday he was born, but on the other hand, it feels like Luke has always been here.

 What I'm loving.....

 HAWAII!!!!
 We just got back from 7 days in Maui.
We surprised the kids on the way to the airport...they thought we were going to Tahoe.

 LOVED surprising them. It was epic.
We went to Maui for our honeymoon and I forgot how much I LOVE it.

It was an amazing trip...post coming soon!

What We've been up to.....

July has been a fun & busy month including:
My 20 year high school reunion
BBQ for my Dad's birthday
4th of July
5 days in Tahoe
Performing Arts Camp for the girls
Week in Maui
Giants Game

July was AWESOME.

What I'm Dreading.....

That school starts in 2.5 weeks
UGGGGHHHHH!!!!

I could seriously cry.
This summer is going by WAY too quickly & Target has all the school supplies out.

 *SIGH*
 
What I'm Working On.....

 Luke's 5th Birthday Party!

Can't believe he will be FIVE in just 2 weeks!

I am WAY behind on the planning...haven't even sent out the invites yet...on my To-Do list for today.

Just ordered these cookies for the favors....

Luke is so excited for his Superhero party.

I can't wait for his party....I love parties...here are some of his past birthday parties:
Luke's 1st Birthday was a Nautical Theme:

Luke's 2nd Birthday was a Train Theme:

 

3rd Birthday was a Firetruck Party:

What I'm Wearing.....

Pretty much swim suits, swim suit cover ups & work out clothes!

 

  I did get this new bikini for Hawaii and I love it!

Let's be honest....It's summer. I am ultimate lazy when it comes to my wardrobe in the summer.
I wear my bathing suit or yoga pants & a tank top or I wear shorts & a tank top.

I look like a ragamuffin in the summer! Hair in a top knot or a braid with a hat. Flip Flops everyday.
One of my favorite parts about Summer :)


What I’m doing this weekend.....

 Family Reunion with my Dad's side of the family!

We are heading up to Chico for the Reunion, should be fun!

What I'm Looking Forward to next month.....

 Next month I am looking forward to Luke's 5th Birthday!

Question of the month is:
What is your favorite thing about Summer?

How do I narrow this down to one thing....

Slow mornings, living in pj's & bathing suits, swimming everyday, staying up late, reading lots of books, traveling, going to the beach/lake, having a garden, all the fresh fruits & veggies that we eat, no homework, no grading, having all day to hang out with the kids.

I love summer.
SUMMER FOREVER!
