Aunt JJ Vacay and B-day

We were fortunate enough to have Aunt JJ visit - and on her birthday even! Although it was HER vacation she gave me much-needed help. I had a pretty rough week before she arrived. I believe the boys were missing daddy, cutting their molars, enduring yet another bad cold, and just being 2. There wasn't a lot of sleep going on in our house. But Jenette and Geoff both arrived and I got to go to the gym, take some naps, go to a dr. appt without the kiddos, and go on a date with Geoff. Did I mention it was HER vacation? But Jenette and I did get to go shopping together and get pedicures.

And we went to a fun beach area for more pictures and lunch.

This is such a "hip" playground. Can you tell it is a dog? The ears hang down and form a bench, and the slide is the tongue.


I love this group of pics of the boys with Jenette:

The sky was so blue that day. The boys had fun lugging the modern-looking green puppy dog things up the hill. The dogs are just there. By the hill. For kids to play with.

And for Jenette to carry back down the hill.

Funny sign. Located near the hill and the playground. And near a coffee shop of course.

Ok, this painted fence was just screaming at me to take more pictures!

It is easy to take the beach for granted when you live so close to it. But it caught my breath to walk around the corner from the taco bar we ate at and see this:

Breathtaking.

I had to make Jenette kahlua cake to celebrate her big day.

Happy Birthday Jenette!!!
