Where did we leave off? Oh yes...we left off with Kalista's birthday weekend getaway. Sorry for the delay. We know that all of you have been waiting for the anticipated birthday party pictures. There are just not enough hours to get to the blogging.
So yes...back to where we left off. The next following weekend we took a mini trip to Dana Point/San Juan Capistrano for Jen's birthday weekend trip. We had a great time enjoying the beautiful weather and beaches. We also took Bella with us since the hotel allowed animals. Bella had a blast!!! She exuded the spoiled princess vibe all weekend.
We enjoyed a clam baked style dinner from The Boiling Crab...Yum!
This Squirrel cake was courtesy of Chubby Cakes in Westminster
Kalista has become an expert in the sport of bubble blowing. Whenever she sees a bubble wand or bubble container, she goes into bubble mind mode. She can't enough of her assortment of bubble wands that were left over from her birthday party.
Grandma Susan came to visit right after Grandma Evelyn left...literally on the same day. It was nice having some extra hands around the house for two weeks between the two visitors.
We made a few trips to the zoo with Grandma's new annual pass. Kalista loves wearing sunglasses and has a tendency to borrow them from others.
Kalista's official birthday party was postponed to June for many reasons, but it finally happened. It was Yo Gabba Gabba themed and she loved her cake until we lit the candles. She bursted into tears for some reason. Maybe she thought we were trying to torch her new friends....eek...that would freak me out.
The party was a success! We had a fabulous turnout and the weather was just right for the park. Kalista's little friends had a blast on the jungle gyms of various size. We had some relatives that flew into town just for the weekend to celebrate it with us. Thank you for the trip down here!!!
Kalista says "THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR COMING TO MY PARTY AND FOR ALL MY BIRTHDAY PRESENTS!!". She wasn't into opening gifts at first, but when she saw what was all wrapped up....it was worth all the work.
We had a mini photo shoot for Project: Father's Day. With the idea from her teacher, we borrowed this little outfit from her school and took a bunch of photos to frame for Matt's special day.
HAPPY DADA DAY !!!
Kalista learned to say : Happy - Dada -Dee (Happy Father's Day) and Owl - Juice ( I Love You). It sounds much cuter when she says it.
We all mustered up some energy to get to the SD County Fair this year since all three of us have been fighting off this cold of various extent. Along our stroll past livestock, we met this HUGE cow. MOO! It doesn't seem so big from this picture, but it was very large. We tried out the bacon wrapped turkey leg this year and it was pretty good. We didn't try anything exotic this year...no deep fried trix or coco pebbles.
We hope this summer will bring some fun times and memories for all of you!!
