Ryan's Birthday Bash

We celebrated Ryan's 6th birthday a little early this year and had a party at the beach this past weekend. It was a lot to coordinate, parking was a nightmare, but once everyone was there we had a blast :) There were piles of boards everywhere, kids running around and we got to catch up with some friends. Owen was a trooper and hung out until 7:45p!! Yay for summer birthdays and spending summer evenings at the beach with great friends.

We got creative this year. To avoid a melting cake or a bunch of sandy cupcakes - we made a candy cake!

Emmy is really into giving presents :)

Packed car! We already dropped a whole load at the beach earlier in the day

Emmy and Luci 

My handsome dude

Quinn hung out with Owen the whole time - it was amazing. I told Tracie were are going to pick her up on the way to the beach each weekend :)

Ryan, William and Alex = always crazy

Lesson learned - next time we need to regular the candy cake...

So much attention from the ladies. Owen can say Audrey but not mama. What the.....?

We bought spike ball. Its tough but kept them occupied for a bit

It seems like yesterday Emmett was this little and now he's playing with Owie!

Always fun handing with my bestie :) 

This guy is a SAND MONSTER

And that's a wrap - a happy. tired family after 6 hours at the beach!

What we've been up to...

We've been making a lot of açaí bowls lately. Everyone loves them!

Except Sadie because there is nothing to drop from the high chair!

Sweet Owie... I wish he could stay this little forever.

Last week we filmed a hip replacement, it was AWESOME! I love when I get to go into the OR. I took this pic and sent it to my sis - leopard flats in the OR. haha

Emmy went to gymnastics camp with Lia last week - buddies since they were 3!

Another late night at La Jolla shores with Audrey

Slip and slide time!

And water balloons of course

I love this girl - who says girls are afraid of worms?!

These 3 :) 

Josh and I actually got out for a date night!! Drinks at Georges and dinner at Herringbone 

We went back to our roots - Chalcedony Street is PB!

Bedtime shinanigans 

Ready for soccer camp! They were troopers going to camp in 90 degree weather but ended up loving playing soccer :)

Owen's teacher sent me this pic this week. ha!

 The tooth fairy has been visiting our house a lot lately!

He opens his mouth this wide for every bite!

Lazy afternoon after soccer camp
