Capitola Beach

Last weekend was a fantastic & relaxing two days between Capitola Beach & Monterey. We loved just being together, going to the beach, trying Brianna's new kite (thank you, Issy!!!), eating the BEST vegan food around and just relaxing ....

Spring is still a breath or two away here at the beach. It was COLD & WINDY, but we still made the best of it

Project Backyard Landscaping: Check

In a historic day, we finished our backyard landscaping and hosted a beautiful party for our beautiful baby girl. After all, we entertained two families, in our small house, for an entire weekend. It was a wild ride but we had lots of fun! Thank you to the Clarks & Burgos' for the amazing memories!

Our back yard

Over the past couple of weeks, Jeremy (mostly), Bibi (as much as possible) & the girls have been working really hard trying to get the backyard ready for spring. This past Sunday was especiallybrutal, as Jeremy started taking the old dirt out at 6 am and finished rota-tilling new dirt after 7 pm. Huge thaks to Tio Victor and Uncle Dave who came by and lent a hand in a big way so that this project can be finished sooner.

The sprinkler system is next and then the sod

After dinner, the boys with the girls jumped in the jacuzzi and took a well deserved break. Go Uncle Dave!

Sabbath dinner with the Stuarts

We had a great time last Sabbath evening over Mexican food with Chad, Christina & Dayton. Great times for sure!

The kids played really well and took a long bath together at the end of the evening. Kiaruchi & Dayton loved riding in the tricycle and eating veggie beans. It was great having you guys over!

Our Mom's Group Picnic at Soroptimist Park

Last Thursday was just so cold and windy for our weekly get together! We started off at the park, had our picnic and then finished off the evening at Diana's house with hot coffee & cookies. We ALL had a great time!

Hard work & jacuzzi time

Right after our scrumptions Spring Tea event we changed clothes and went into the back yard to get the soil ready for the sod. We worked hard digging and piling dirt and later relaxed, terere in hand, at our favorite place.

Little Princesses Brianna & Ella

Ella & Brianna sat next to each other at the Spring Tea table and thoughtful Auntie Sherri had placed a box of goodies for each of them to keep them happy during the event. Each of the ladies at the table had a gift box also. We all had a terrific time!

Ella & Brianna had special mini porcelain tea cups to drink tea from.

Mom & Daughter Spring Tea

On March 21st, Girlfriends Unlimited hosted an amazing Spring Tea for all Mommies & Little Ladies of our church. The room was absolutely beautifully decorated, the food was incredible and all the ladies were decked out in their High Tea best. Bibi & Brianna had a great time bonding over tea, pastries, salad and wonderful meditations on how special it is to be God's princesses. We sat at Auntie Sherri's table and she did an incredible job of decorating and hosting. Thanks, Sherri! You rock!
