The River

So much fun with the cousins during the summer at the cabin. Here are some pictures from one of the Saturdays of last month.

Lots more...

So RJ and I have been in Texas for a week and I have been negligent, but I have lots coming. So first is some pics from my birthday. On the actual day, we went in to the city, had a delicious lunch, had fun people watching and walking and RJ chased around some pigeons.

Today was a funny day. RJ snatched a Vitamin Water from Lucky's that we had to go return. Then at lunch, RJ was eating strawberries whole, green stems and all. Then she started dipping the strawberries in her leftover chicken soup...yum!

Last Weekend

They are a little blurry but you get the general idea. So this is the dock at my in-law's cabin on Bethel Island. It was in a little bit of a pitiful state. I personally was scared of the walkway. I would only walk on it if no one else was on it. However, last weekend...a new dock was built! It is beautiful and safe and non-scary (new walkway) and we got to watch a big barge and crazy men as they pulled out the old pilings and put in new ones. The head guy likes to wear tank tops with thin straps that come down really low that are very 80's and a pair of jeans even though it was 100 degrees out. But they did an amazing job! I'll need to get pics of the new dock.

Happy Birthday me!

Today is my birthday! Last night Steve and I went to Red Lobster to celebrate! Yummy crab legs! Here is an awful picture of me and a good one of Steve after we ate dinner.

After dinner, we walked around downtown Concord for a little bit, then decided to get pie from Marie Callender's. French Silk, Coconut Cream, and Pumpkin Cheesecake. The coconut cream was my favorite, but I was a little sad at how not amazing they were. Oh well.

Finger Paint

Two weeks ago, Rebecca made her first masterpiece. It was lots of fun. She really enjoyed painting herself. Oh and she really liked wiping it off with the wet wipe.

Showing Grandpa her body that is all painted.

The final masterpiece (I did help a little.)

Backyard Fun

Having lived in an upstairs condo, I have not had the wonderful opportunity of having a backyard. Two weeks ago, I stayed at my brother and sister -in law's house. I invited my next door neighbor from the condo to come play in the backyard. The kids had such a blast.

Aptos Weekend

A couple of weekends ago we went to our friends' beach house. Here we are at the beach.

It is hard to tell in this picture, but if you make it bigger you can kind of see. There was this huge amount of birds flying north. It went on and on for almost 10 minutes! Tons of birds just flying together.
