June...Part 2

The day after arriving home from North Carolina Josh and I headed to an A's/Giants game in SF with a group of friends. (Hannah got to spend the day with Nonnie & Nonne) We started our afternoon at The 21st Amendment's "beer garden". We had some lunch and drinks (my favorite is their Watermelon Wheat).

 We had a great time at the game, however the A's lost which was a bummer. Ice cream sundaes at Ghirardellis afterwards ended up making it all better!

Our first trip on the lake this season was to Lake Sonoma. We weren't quite sure how Hannah was going to do wearing a life vest 5+ straight hours. As uncomfortable as she looked, she did amazingly. Not once did she fuss to have it off or really even act bothered by it. The lake was a little chilly, however she did take a dip with mom and dad.

She was so mesmerized watching her dad wake board

Our first camping trip of the summer was to one of our absolute favorite lakes (Pillsbury). We plan a trip with friends to Lake Pillsbury every year. Hannah was excited to have her BFF Kenzie along on the trip. The girls camped together last year at 2 1/2 months old. This year was sooo different from last year! :) They had so much fun playing in the campsite together and in the screen room/playroom of our tent. Hannah spent every day on our boat and loved it every time. She even had her first tubing experience with mom. She didn't smile, nor cry just did sign language for "more" :) She was done with the ride however after water sprayed into both her and my face. We celebrated Father's Day while on the lake and Hannah made a special shirt for her dad, which he proudly wore. They were too cute together. :)

June...Part 1

June has been a fun, yet insanely busy month for us! We've been on the go so much that I think it's going to take me 3 posts to include all the photos and stories. Below are a few pics from our first "game night in the park." Every Tuesday night during the summer we get together with friends to play various games, snack on food and enjoy some tasty beverages. We play games ranging from sand volleyball, to horseshoes and botchie ball. We have croquet and ladder ball for the kids (as well as adults). It's a great excuse to get together with our friends each week and enjoy some games. Hannah invited her friend Nico to the first game night of the season. They look so big sitting at the picnic table having their snack together!

Ready for some ladder ball

We traveled to Humboldt the first weekend in June for Amy and Jared's wedding. On our way up we stopped at Confusion Hill because we wanted to take Hannah on the train, however due to the weather it was closed. :(  We did enjoy walking around and posing for a few pics. :) Amy and Jared's wedding was beautiful. Although I had my camera, I was so busy catching up with people I hadn't seen in awhile that didn't take any pictures at the wedding or reception.  I can't believe my sister and Shaun's wedding is just around the corner!!!

Our attempt at a photo in front of Old Mother Hubbard's shoe :)

Out with the girls

Hannah playing with her friend Domenic. I just love how he's smiling at her :)

We traveled home from Fortuna Sunday and early Monday morning my mom, Hannah and I flew to North Carolina. This was Hannah's first flight and I was a little nervous about being confined to a small seat with a 1 year old. My little girl proved to me that she is not only a good car traveler, but a good plane traveler as well! :) Our first flight was the longest (5 hrs) & second was 1 1/2 hrs......thank goodness she loves her snacks and was able to fall asleep on my lap!!! Hannah doesn't watch TV yet and really has no interest in it...I never thought I'd find myself kinda wishing she'd be interested in the tiny TV on the back of the seat in front of us :) It only held her attention for maybe 2 minutes!!!

Enjoying the seat to herself while Nonnie went to the bathroom

Fell asleep still gripping her sandwich:)

Hannah, my mom and I traveled to North Carolina for a visit with our close family friends, the Coopers. Elizabeth graduated from 8th grade that week and Matthew from high school. I began babysitting for the Coopers when I was just fourteen years old. At the time Matthew was just under two and Elizabeth (Betsy) wasn't born yet. I formed a close relationship with the Coopers and became a close part of their family. I've experienced so many of the children's milestones while growing up, so it was extremely important for me to be at both of their graduations. Josh unfortunately couldnt' make it, so my mom traveled with us which was a lot of fun.

Matthew's graduation at Cameron basketball stadium on Duke University's campus was amazing. The stadium itself is gorgeous! Matthew was one of over 300 graduates. He had the honor of being in the top 10 of his class. He was accepted to and will be attending Stanford Univ. this fall. I'm so proud of him!!!

She had so much fun running around the "Sports Hall of Fame"

Ready for a dip in the pool with mom at the party after the graduation

This weekend we are off to Lake Almanor to stay at Andrea and Devin's cabin and hang out with some good friends. When I get back I'll attempt to post pics and stories from our day at the A's/Giant's game, first trip to the lake of the season, camping at Lake Pillsbury and Nicole's Fortuna bridal shower and bachelorette and then I'm off to VEGAS next week!!!!
