like auntie jen's birthday celebration!
the boys and i took jen to the patio for brunch,
a newer restaurant right here in the neighborhood.
it was yummy and we all ate alot,
including our share of BACON.
{it's almost dangerous that it's so trendy right now}
i've eaten a bit more than i should.

there are so many more little things that go on in day to day life.
i can't capture them all but i try to focus on highlights in this blog.
i'm just not always timely.
i hope to post on these past events in the next week:
- the annual paddle for clean water event
- finn's first adventure rock climbing
- a beach photo shoot with auntie jen and the boys
- christi's baby shower in orange county this past weekend
a baby shower was also held for my sister stacey back in florida.
{sure wish we lived closer so i could have celebrated with her}
i was just thinking how lucky to have a blog as a journaling tool.
it's made it so easy to record, and though it's a form of social media,
it's the only one i don't feel guilty about spending time on.
i even turned of the 'comment' feature a few years back because i didn't
want it to become like facebook {i.e. for an audience}
i simply wanted a journal,
a place to for me to stop, be mindful and
to record the important things in my life and in the life of my family.
it's time well spent.
not only do i enjoy going back and reading old posts,
the little guys often ask me to pull up my life with boys so they can read.
they get a kick reading about their 'younger' selves,
their accomplishments, birthdays celebrations, family trips,
and their favorite, their birthday tributes.
{i think those might be mom's favorite posts too}
