Ay Ay ay ay......most would think when they hear the words Fiesta Days of a Mexican party. It's not! It is my parents community celebration for Memorial Day.  We always spend Menorial day there to enjoy the parade they put on and the vendors, games, and fun they put on at the end of the mile stretch of the parade. The kids love love loved the parade especially the candy, tennis balls and bands.  Zeke especially loved the jumpers and rides at Fiesta Days..... while Zoie......napped  Hope you all enjoyed your Memorial Day. And to those who have fallen while protecting this beautiful country of ours.....THANK YOU! Home of the free because of the brave! 

One of my best friends since high school got married at the beginning of May. I was in the wedding so I had all the bridesmaid duties to handle all weekend but Brandon and the kids decided to hang out too take full advantage of the location and enjoy a mini vacation to Newport Beach.  The weather was amazing and the kids really loved the pool.  My brother and his girlfriend babysat the kids while we enjoyed ourselves at the wedding. It was beautiful and lots of fun. Congrats Mr. and Mrs. Bird! 

This Mother's Day we really wanted to go to brunch at a winery where they have some kid friendly things too, but like usual we waited until the last minute and couldn't get a reservation.  We decided to try a place in old town where the kids could run without getting dirty looks from the whole restaurant. If you have kids our age you know this happens quite often at restaurants, which is why we rarely eat out.   It was nice weather, great company, and a good day overall!  Happy Mother's Day mama! 

Now that our Summer is a tad bit slower and a lot less stressful this mama has some blog catching up to do. Sorry I put y'all on the back burner! More to come ASAP....... What's a blog post without a cute kid picture......TGIF! 

Yummmmmy....that's it!  Just kidding. With the clean eating trend and organic everything, we keep coming up on some awesome farms of all sorts, from fruit and veggies to looking forward to pumpkins and Christmas trees!  This go around its blueberries for this family! We love ourselves some blueberries. Zeke has loved them since he was little, Zoie can eat a carton or two in one sitting, and Brandon just wants to make fun recipes with them.  We gathered up the fam and one of Zeke's little buddies and headed out!  It wasn't too hot and the sun wasn't even out yet......perfect for picking them berries!
