I have been given the most incredible honor of having been able to be present for the birth of all three of my dear friends, Eric and Crystal’s, children. Most recent was the birth of their third child and first son! It was beautiful and intense and we are so blessed to have this little one here.

Esperanza “Dada” went to visit family in Colombia and Fabio “Dado” traveled to NYC to visit his daughter Sara, and Oakland/Rocklin to visit the rest of his kids/grandkids! We spent the week playing in the pool, shopping for home decor items, playing VR, etc. The week flew by although we all missed Esperanza, we all had a special time together.

Our annual road trip to visit family in July! First night was a stop over in Bend, OR. I was not able to book where we typically stay (McMenamin’s St. Francis), but was able to get a night at the Riverhouse on the Descutes.
The moment we checked in, it started dumping buckets. Alex was thrilled. I think we moved when the kids were too young to recall the downside to rain. He absolutely loves it!
Next day, we dropped off the dogs for boarding at the Countryside Veterinary Clinic in Wenatchee. Joined Uncle Art and Auntie Yaya for the next three nights.
Had brunch with my Auntie DeeDee and Uncle Bob at Benson Vineyards. The view was stunning. The food, delightful. I gave Dee a piece of art from an artist who lives near me. It is titled “Medicine Woman”. It was such a blessing to have both sets of aunts/uncles in the area at the same time.
Next stop…Sandpoint to four nights. Visited Grandpa Randy and Grandma Margaret. We went to Baxter’s on Cedar and Eichhardt’s Pub. We also walked the Sandpoint Saturday market. We surprised the boys by dropping them off at Silverwood for a full day!
Final stop… Caldwell, to visit our friends, Dan and Lori! We spent two nights and spent a day visiting downtown Boise.

I am on hiatus from running, but a Flower Farm hike seemed like a good idea. Catching up with run buddies and breakfast at the Flower Farm after. It was perfect.

We had an awesome visit from Sara and Charlie (from NYC) and Paul and Shannon (and Baby M) from Oakland. They stayed a few nights. Games, good food, and good conversation, plus some antique shopping!

One of my besties has five awesome kids. For my birthday gift to her this year, I offered a day of childcare so she could do whatever she wanted. She and her husband planned a few day trip to Chicago and I watched her kids for one of the days.
Her oldest was in school, then practice for (I think) volleyball. Mu boys joined me and we filled the day with games, playing basketball, jumping on the trampoline, and making play doh “poop” characters, compliments of my husband. 🙂

I serve on a team that puts on women’s day and weekend retreats. This was a lovely day retreat a Bev’s place, Stone Barn Ranch. The day could not have gone any better. So special.

The city of Rocklin commissioned a number of artists to paint fiberglass ore carts, to be displayed throughout the town. Rocklin Fine Arts received one of the commissions and anyone who is a member was invited to come help paint. I managed to get in there a few times to help. These are pictures in process; not done, but it’s coming along nicely!

OK, I think I scored a few mom points with this one. The boys were totally looking forward to seeing “Avengers: Endgame”. Alex said we needed to see it on opening night so he would not have to worry about online spoilers. When I went to book the tickets, the only ones I could get were at 10:30pm! This is a 3 hour film!! Still, we decided to go for it. It was so action packed, we stayed alert the whole time, and slept in the next day!
