A New Blogger in Town!

"Hello everyone! My name is Celeste. I wanted to introduce myself because my mommy started a blog all about me and I would love for you to check it out. My mommy's friend, Lori, put the link in the right hand column of this blog. Click on it and come see me often!"

Houghtons Hang Out

On Sunday, the Houghtons stopped by for a little impromptu visit after their day at the beach. We all jumped in the pool for a little fun in the sun! We loved having you guys! It made our day.

Casey and Crazy Charlie!
Hold on tight Casey... she's a slippery one!

Whoops! She escaped! I told you... ya gotta watch that one! haha.

Produce & Ponies

This past weekend Steve and I spent the weekend down south with some of our good friends from the produce industry. On Saturday, we were all about the Del Mar Racetrack! We were big losers but still had a wonderful time with our friends. Haha

More Pals to Visit the Pool

Last week, the girls and I hosted two of my colleagues and their kids over for a pool playdate. Lisa (pictured), Elisa, and myself all have toddler girls within a year of one another and we trade stories all the time at work. We are all going through the same things basically at the same time. Same struggles. Same questions. Same milestones. We've all talked and talked of getting all the girls together but it just never happened until now. The day went smoothly and everyone played really nicely together.

This is Grace (Lisa's daughter) and Ryan.

Little Chuckles of course.


An attempt to get Lisa with her two children, Nicholas and Grace.

Here is Charlie, Kristen (Elisa's daughter), Grace, and Ryan after have popsicles.

Kristen and Grace.
(Unfortuately, I didn't get a picture of my friend Elisa. Bummer. Elisa also has one year old twins who were not there for the playdate. They are adorable, I wish I had a pic of them too!)

The crazy-stick out your tongue-and say awwww picture!

Robyn and Don's Engagement Party

This past weekend we attended Steve's cousin's engagement party. Robyn Coleman (daughter of Brian Coleman and Debbie Coleman) will be marrying her fiance Don this next year. We had a great time seeing all of the family and meeting Robyn and Don's friends and family.

Robyn (in green) with her girlfriends.

Debbie (in the middle) threw a fantastic Mexican fiesta! The food and decor were fabulous! I was impressed with everything.

Kyla (forgive me if I messed up the spelling) is Cousin Kelly's adorable daughter.

Charlie was going to make Kyla her new best friend, whether Kyla liked it or not!

Katie with the girls! This one could be a keeper... not too many pictures with both little ones smiling and looking at the camera!
