52 weeks of us {week 21}

In the car.  I warned my husband this photo was going on the blog.  :)

This project is making me be more intentional when it comes to capturing my family together.  I want all 4 of us in a picture together.  Each week I will take a picture and share it with you and feel free to do the same!  At the end of this I will have 52 (!) family pictures.

A New Adventure

Some might call them walks or hikes but be like to call them adventures.  Sometimes its crazy to think that in Orange County, we have these beautiful spots that when you visit them, you feel so far away from a busy life.  The boys love these adventures, I'm learning to.  I'm not really one to get all sweaty and dirty but having two active boys, I have to embrace it.

I remember reading about the Riley Wilderness Park and wanted to take the boys.  I used to live so close to it (like 3 minutes away) and I had no idea it was there. There is a beautiful butterfly garden and a fun trail to follow if you feel up to it.  It will cost $3 for parking but it's totally worth it!

We still live close to it (like 15 minutes away) so I can see us going here a lot more!

Last day of Preschool!

Yup!  Today is Hudson's last day of Preschool.  Let the summer fun begin!

My little fish.

We will have lots and lots of pool time this summer.  My boys are little fish and love to be in the water.  Luckily my in-laws live close and have a nice pool for us to enjoy.

 

Parker just recently started feeling comfortable enough in his swimming vest.  It makes me a little nervous but I know its all about letting him explore (safely).  

 This will be Hudson's last summer with a swim vest.  He's not quite ready to give it up yet when his in Nana and Papa's pool but he will actually swim without it when we are at the Beach Club.  I think they both will be taking swim lessons soon.

Yay for pool weather!

Pretty Nails {vol. 4}

Who doesn't love polka dots? Here is a simple way to make your nails looks cute.

Pick 2 colors. Mine are Snappy Sorbet and Racey Rouge from Target.

Tip: Stretch out a bobby pin for the perfect dotting tool!

Paint the base color.  Allow to dry. Then add some polka dots and a top coat. Perfect summertime nails!
