Amore

we were recently blessed with a fun filled day with Bruce (Brian's brother)
and his precious daughter aka (My Cousin Venice)!
we don't get to see them as often as we would like but when we
do...it's like we were never apart! These cousin are in LOVE with each other.

Perfect day for the beach!

From the beach...straight to the pool!

then back home for a BBQ...thank you Bruce & Venice for such a wonderful day!
we Love you so much...Amore!

Summer has come to an end...

So sad to see the summer coming to an end
but we have truly enjoyed our fun filled
day's at the beach, pool, lounging in the sun
and having lots of bbq's with friends & family.
School begins tomorrow and we are looking
forward to another fun year of preschool for Sophia.

Dress-up in Daddy's Clothes!

Sophia went to town the other day playing dress-up
in daddy's clothes!!! She's such a ham!!

San Francisco Day 2

John & Adrienne and Brian and drove to Napa Valley and spent
the day wine tasting...I have to admit there's nothing like spending
the day in Napa, it's one of my favorite places!

We went to so many wonderful wineries and drank
some Delicious vino!

A picnic in the winery

A perfect birthday weekend with family and

great friends!!!! Thank you all for such a great time!

I left my heart in San Francisco!

Happy Birthday to me! Brian and I joined John & Adrienne
in San Francisco for a weekend of fun!
Thank you mom and dad for babysitting!



We stayed at the Westin St. Francis, right in the middle of the city!



Fisherman's Wharf!

Biggest Crabs ever!

After spending the day at Fisherman's we rolled into the evening meeting up with
Brian's brother Bruce, his girlfriend Sarah, Dean and Amanda and John and
Adrienne at the Starlight lounge...this place has a Fantastic view with
fun live music!

next stop...Bow Bow for some good old fashion Karaoke!

Things started to get a little wild in this place...

My fabulous husband takes the cake for the most enthusiastic Karaoker ever!!!

Trundle Fun!

We decided it was time to take Sophia's bed rails
off....and we got her the 2nd mattress for the trundle
portion of her bed!

Clearly both kids are so excited...
looks like we have some fun sleepovers
ahead in our future!
