happy 4th!

We just got home from hanging out with family. Hot dogs, hamburgers, grilled corn, ceviche, cheesecake and berry pie. I went straight for the ceviche...not your typical 4th of July dish but definitely one you will find at a Latino get together. 

We enjoyed the day by spending it together as a family. I feel tremendously lucky to be able to live in such a beautiful country with the people I love. 

I have some pictures to share from our mini golf outing yesterday in celebration of Audrey's 4th birthday. It was a really nice afternoon filled with mini golf and bumper boats and a really yummy dinner to end the night. 

We got home exhausted and happy.

Happy 4th of July friends! Hope you all had a great one!

On 4th of July

(been away from blogging for a bit... and  missed you)


Our fourth of July weekend included a neighborhood parade (kids on decorated bikes, strollers and scooters), good food and summer.  It was perfectly filled with family and friends.
So so proud to be a part of this beautiful country.


Here are some pictures (taken by Audrey's daddy) from our 4th of July celebrating...

Audrey turned 3 this weekend.. so looking forward to sharing with you soon... ( :

Happy 4th, happy Monday, happy Tuesday, happy day!

Fourth of July in Our home

Thoughts of parades, trips to festivals and parks.  Just thoughts.  

I ended up staying in pajamas comfy clothes all day.  Spending time with my most favorite people.

By the afternoon Audrey was in need of fresh air.  And I, in some major need for exercise from all the party food .... and leftovers.  Audrey and I went for a run/walk.

American flags hung proud.  Everywhere. I thought, what a lucky girl I am, to live in such a beautiful place, a place where everyone is so different yet still so united.


How lucky I am, to be able to raise my kids here.

In the evening we saw fireworks.  Audrey sat on Kip's shoulder.  And I, with my arm around Miah.
