Once school started and everyone was back in town, we hosted a baby shower for my good friend Kristine. My house was in demo mode so our friend Kristen offered to host. She decorated her backyard so cute and cozy. Lots of people helped with food and making it all…
We stopped in Vegas for a few days on the way home from Utah. We were so excited to get in more boating time with our good friends. The air temperature was around 115°, which meant the lake was so warm it was barely refreshing. We jumped in and out…
We packed in a lot during our week in Utah. We spent time with family and friends on the lake, we went on hikes and walks, we enjoyed an outdoor concert, and we soaked up down time around the cabin. I have just a few more things captured by my…
The best part about being in Park City over the summer is spending time on the lake. Our boating trips have become few and far between since we moved to California, so we make sure to soak it up when we have the chance. We’ve been going out on the…

The end of the school year is busier than December with all of the projects, parties and performances so I like to call it Maycember. Nash did a report on Albert Einstein. Blake had a strings performance. He carried that cello back and forth to school twice a week in…
I love baseball season. Running into friends and neighbors and basking in the golden hour light on warm spring days. Watching my boys slowly improve their swings and make some plays in the field. I also love what happens on the sidelines. Settling in on beach chairs and timing the…
