Summer Time

It's pretty much officially Summer in my book. 

My mission is to make this Summer like no other.

That means:

-Mini Vacations

-Pool Time

-Girls Trips

-Beach Days

-Hanging out with friends

-Beach Camping

-Sun Tans

-Blonde Hair

-Weddings

-Exploring New Places

-Messy Hair

-Sun Dresses

-Birthdays

To me this Summer also represents something more meaningful. In my heart I truly believe this could be our last Summer as just the two of us. I hope and pray it is anyway. I want to enjoy it and make tons of memories. Stop worrying so much, say yes to things that scare me, and take care of myself.

Summer 2014, I'm ready for ya!

Summer Lovin'

In these last couple of weeks we've done more than we did the whole summer.

I've really been horrible at taking pictures but I thought it was time for a summer iPhone Photo Dump!

/mornings spent in prayer/ 

 /the boys new favorite/

 /Babe and Big Burger/

/countdown/

 /lots of family time/

 /slumbering puppy/

I feel like I've missed so much! Sometimes I get too caught up in having fun that I forget to take pictures. I've been thinking about taking a photography class just so I could get the basics down but I haven't been able to find one that works for me. Any suggestions in the Southern California area?

Mini-Staycation

Today we are off to a little vacation in San Diego with my family!

Can't wait to spend the day by the pool in a private cabana! I've always wanted a cabana! 

Summer Staple Gift Reveal : Link Up!

It's that time! Let's all reveal our awesome Summer Staple gifts and meet some new blogging friends!

My secret blogger was Rachel from The Random Writings of Rachel! You have to go check out her blog because she writes about so many different things and it's always something interesting. Plus, she and her husband are the cutest ever! Here's one of my favorites posts "Opposites Attract". I can

totally relate to this one.

I've already used this awesome mineral sunblock a couple times! 

I ALWAYS wear sunblock on my face and it's ALWAYS spf 50 so Rachel got me the perfect gift.

I've never tried mineral sunblock and you can really tell the difference. It just feels so much nicer.

Thanks again Rachel! I also love the super cute card :)

Okay Ladies, now it's your turn! Link up here!

We got a pool!!!!

 The weather is heating up and I've been dreaming about luxurious pools to lounge in.

I found some really amazing ones:

After drooling over these awesome pools I went to Wal-mart and bought a pool for Linus!

He was a little unsure at first...okay, a lot unsure.

I lured him in with a ball

Next thing I know, He's hopping in and out all by himself!

Now every time I let him out to go potty he hops right in and splashes around. Even during his early morning potty time when Mom is only half awake.

He's our little water baby:)
