6 Years with Ritchie

Ritchie and I celebrated 6 years together on June 25th. I'm a little late in blogging about it, but it was a spectacular celebration this year. We did exactly what we needed to do, be together, have fun, connect.



We had dinner at The Villiage Bistro in Santana Row. SO DELICIOUS.







Then, we took a drive up to a lookout point and snuggled up in the back of the car and enjoyed the sunset.





Each year just gets better and better. I'm so happy I chose you, babe! And I'm happy you still choose me. I can't wait for our all of our many adventures.

Here is my life lately in instagram photos. There are TONS of them. Enjoy!




Blueberry hog!


My nephew!!




Max likes to sit in Ben's highchair sometimes.




Watermelon equals lots of laundry


The bathroom is a favorite hangout for Ben


Ben carries his most prized possessions around with him while he crawls around.




I tried at home coffee for like a week. It's just not the same as Starbucks.


I've been doing yoga 2-3 times a week for 2 months. I'm really starting to feel/see the results!


Oh, Ritchie. Chilis on your socks... really?


All of the sudden I hear, "Momma help me get down!"








We trace bodies now... it's creepy.


Little napper.


Throwing a fit


My snuggly little bug




I wore a dress mid week!! So fancy. It broke though.... so sad.


Max LOVES to play in the drivers seat with his guitar.


He also wants "time naked boy"


And hugs. He loves hugs.


Buckled into Bennett's car seat.




Our day in San Francisco weeks ago!


Little B on the trolley


Ritchie's always up for a self portrait




Napping with my boys


Bennett got into the pantry


Sometimes we have rough days


They always get better though!


If I had $50 spare bucks, I SO would have owned this for B.


New skill


Ice cream!




I also got on a Corona kick for a few nights. I'm over it.


Reality.


So he doesn't run off. It actually STILL works.

Wow - Okay, hopefully I can start keeping up with Insta Friday from now on!

Our Weekends Lately

We've been busy around here! The weather has been lovely and we've taken advantage of it in between illnesses, which have been plentiful this past month.



For Memorial Day, we went to San Francisco to ride the cable cars. We have a chalkboard that is a list of things we want to do with the kids this year and cable cars was on it! Check!


Waiting in line. We did A LOT of that.

It was an... interesting day. Max LOVED the cable cars and even Ben got a huge kick out of them. The first line to get on wasn't miserable, but the line to come back was horrific. I think we waited over an hour and it was about 2pm at that point. Nap time and long cable car lines don't mix. Needless to say, it was rough.





Luckily, we made it through and got in the car where everyone (myself included!) promptly fell asleep.

This past weekend Ritchie ran his second 1/2 marathon. The man never ceases to amaze me.

We drove to Aptos (near Santa Cruz) to watch him cross the finish line!


Grandma and Grandpa came with us!


Max ran around while we waited for Daddy to cross the finish line!




Bennett was a little cranky because he decided that 4:30 a.m. was an awesome wake-up time that morning. I was pretty pissed about that, too.


I had to wear him most of the time.


Oh, but my man! Waving even after running 13.1 miles.


Love this! A strong finish!


He was exhausted! But, we're so proud of all of his accomplishments!

Just a little weekend update for you all! What have you been up to on the weekends? Does your family do a list of things to take the kids (or yourselves!) to go do? I'd love to know your plans!
