Summer Lovin', Happened So Fast

Well I must say, this summer is going by faster than you can say "call me maybe"! There has been so much going on lately, I feel like the entire month of July was jam-packed, and the coming months don't offer much relief. While there have been lots of downs lately, there have also been plenty of ups. Here are just some of the awesome things that have been going down:

A's game with Mended Little Hearts

More A's games

The San Francisco "Breast Fest" beer festival

So many beer sample, so little time

Swim lessons for Joaquin

Little monkey man

 Celebrating Holly and Jon's impending arrival



Spending time with besties

Taking tons of pics of this little guy (of course)

Baby You're A Firework

This 4th of July was an odd one. It was in the middle of the week, a number of fireworks shows were cancelled or rescheduled, and Jose had to work the night before and the night of so that meant Joaquin and I were on our own. Despite all this, it turned out to be a very fun, festive and busy day!
We started out by going to Hap Magee again, this time to meet up with Joaquin's cousin Sydney and her mommy Lauren. Sydney is about 9 months younger than Joaquin but it is still so fun to see them interact and "play" together.

After a nap (for Joaquin at least), we headed out to Dublin for a good old fashioned 4th of July block party! It was complete with volleyball, water balloon tosses, a jello eating contest, BBQ, drinks, and of course fireworks! They're legal in Dublin, so the bottle rockets and sparklers were out in full force. I wasn't sure how Joaquin would react to all the noise and craziness, but let me tell you this boy LOVES fireworks. Seriously, is there anything this kid isn't afraid of?! Needless to say, it was a pretty great Independance Day. The only thing missing was Jose, but here's hoping he'll be able to celebrate with us next year!! xxoo

Hot Fun In The Summertime

Before I start this post, let me say I am using the Blogger app for iPhone for the first time so let's see how this turns out...

ANYWAY, now that summer is here Joaquin has been spending more and more time at the local park scene. One of our faves is Hap Magee in Alamo. It's walking distance from our house, clean, fun and beautiful. And, they have this really awesome water area (basically glorified sprinklers for the kids to run through). We didn't come prepared to get wet the other day, but of course that didn't stop my little risk taker. He was more than happy to run around in just a (soggy) diaper, and I was more than happy to snap some photos.
