At Long Last

I know ... its been scarce around here. I am sorry - its just that I never seem to have time to take care of the little details that I used to pride myself on ... I guess that's part of being a working mom. You just have to let that stuff go. (It KILLS me though!) Anyway, here are some of the things we've been up to this summer.

Riding bikes on the Newport Peninsula


Meeting Grammy & Grandpa at the San Clemente Farmer's Market


Going to the fair with Auntie Jen. The first stop was the petting zoo ...


Apparently the pig said something to Ashley that made her uncomfortable, hence the death grip with her left leg.


After indulging in all the fried delicacies that the fair had to offer, I thought it would be a good idea to take Ashley on a kiddie ride. It all started nicely...


Then everything started flying through the air at a million miles an hour and each car started spinning individually. Ashley looked at me with sheer terror and all I could do was hold her and close my eyes. (People, we're talking Disneyland Teacup spinning! Yuck!)


This look says it all...


The Flying Elephant ride went a little better. Although Ashley still held on for dear life.


After that, we decided to cap off the night with some ice cream and funnel cake. I think Auntie Jen definitely had the right idea!


The latest of our trips was up to see Aunt Jenny, Uncle Chris and Cousin Chloe. (Ah yes, the 1, 2, 3 Swing game! Never gets old.)


The girls treated us to a fabulous solo on the piano too.


Last but definitely not least, the good ole park. Enjoy...
