Thursday, June 26 - Sunday, July 6

1. Isla and Leo spent the night with Coach and Gigi. They went to the pool, Sierra grille, books a million, mellow mushroom, had banjo lessons, and had popcorn and a movie back at the house.

2. Hart still loving his "bobble!"

3. Isla planning and preparing our Sunday night dinner!

4. Link turning 3 months old! He smiles, squeals, and talks to us whenever he's awake, he's gotten really good at tummy time and holding his head up, he rolls to his side and prefers to nap this way, he constantly chews on his hands, he's such a happy and laid back little baby boy!

5. The Fourth weekend was filled with fun! John and I went out on a date, there was a neighborhood party on the 4th which ended back at our house, then there was another neighborhood party on the 5th, we had friends over to our pool on the 6th and had another party in our driveway that night! The kids had such a fun time with great food, friends, and fireworks. I can't say it enough how much we love our neighborhood. We live on the best street and lucked out with fabulous neighbors/friends. The two houses across from ours were put up for sale and both new families have moved in and have already joined in on our driveway parties and we adore them!

6. A hot cup of mothers milk tea before I hit the hay after a long, exciting weekend!
