Capitola Beach

We went to Capitola beach with Eric , Marisa and their three little girls (Eric recruited Jathan to work for Hensel Phelps). We had such a great time. The weather was a little chilly but other than that it was great. I can't believe I did not get a picture of Eric & Marisa. Their little girls are so cute and so funny! It was so fun to talk to little kids again and made me miss my neices and nephiews! They told me about how many donuts they can eat and who was oldest and youngest in their family and how one had a cow bone! So random and so funny. I loved it.

Zanna was having fun playing with the toy shovel and rake in the sand. The sand did not bother her as much as it did the first time we went to the beach. We got her little feeties wet in the water but that was about it as far as swimming went!

Day 4 in San Fran

Ghiradelli Square was a sweet treat! SO much chocolate everywhere. There was a super cute cupcake shop too. I did not endulge but next time I am there you can bet your booty I will.

How cute is my sweet little Hannah?? She is getting so grown up. It is crazy! She is almost a teenager.

The famous Lombard street. This street is CRAZY! It is so steep and windy and beautiful. There are Hydrangeas growing all along the sides of it. Luckily Melissa had been there before and showed us where it was at because it was sweet!

They left the next morning at about seven. It was so sad to see them go. We had so much fun and there was never a dull moment. The second they drove away I felt so lonely and wanted to cry. I know I am a baby. I can't help it, I just love them! I was okay once Jathan got home ;) They left before Zanna woke up for the day, so when she did wake up and I brought her down the stairs she looked all around so confued. She could not fugure out where they went. It was pretty cute!

Day 3 Santa Cruz

We had a blast in Santa Cruz. It was such a fun city! We hit up some of the shops and the boardwalk and of course the beach! My dad lived in Los Gatos (near Santa Cruz) for a while growing up and it was really fun to see where he spent many of his days. Looking back on these pictures I realize I have a very one track mind... Zanna. Almost all of my pictures are of Zanna. I only got one picture of my beautiful mom and it is of her back side... which my dad will enjoy no doubt!

The picture of zanna wearing the hat is so cute! She looks like a little munchkin!

Hannah was loving the water! She was so cute just a splashing and playing. Poor girl played alone most of the time... her somewhat boring older sisters liked to lay out mostly!

I love this shot. They both look so cute hanging out under the umbrella.

Walking down the Pier. I was amazed gretchen did not just die from all of the walking we did. She was a trooper. If I would have been prego I would have just chilled on a bench somewhere ;)

Sorry mom! This is the only picture I got of you... but you sure are looking good! And cute preggers gretchy made a hole in the sand to put her belly into.

Oh Hannah! I love you!

A day at the beach wore Zanna right out. She was playing by the water with Mikelle and fell asleep on her chest.

Zanna was so funny to watch in the sand. She did not like the feeling of it on her hands at first so she was pretty good about staying on the towel.

Day 2 Napa Valley

Napa Valley was BEAUTIFUL! The vineyards were breathtaking and the homes that were on the vineyards were amazing. When we set off to go to Napa we had no idea what we were going to do because we are not much for drinking wine... as we do not drink, and that is obviously a huge part of the attraction of Napa. So the trip started out a little interesting. We stopped in downtown Napa and my mom talked to some people she found out where we needed to go. Then the trip was great! I am so mad though because I left my camera at home on the charger, so I just copied some pics from Gretchen and Melissa's blog.

This vineyard we stopped at was so cool. It had the most fabulous gift shop with fun kitchen accessories and the most amazingly scrumptious dipping sauces, cheeses, jam's, chocolate, flavored vinaigrette's, the list goes on. My mom bought me a fun cheese cutting set and cutting board for entertaining. It is so cool! There was also a cute little park with benches and lush green grass everywhere. I could have spent hours and hours here!

A visit from the Latimer Ladies Day 1

My Mom, Melissa, Gretchen, Mikelle & Hannah all came to visit me for a week! They brought their sleeping bags and air mattresses and slept in our second bedroom. Every night was a slumber party! Except that we were totally exhausted by the days events we pretty much crashed when we got home.We had SO much fun and Zanna was totally spoiled with love and entertainment from her aunties and grandma.

I wish Carolynn and Amanda could have come, WE MISSED YOU TWO!

The first day we hung out at my pool for a few hours then went to Sausalito and looked through the fun shops. After Sausalito we drove over the Golden Gait Bridge!

Thank heavens for the pack'n play. The water is super cold in the pool which does not go over so well with Zanna, so she just chilled in her little play pen and played with her toys.

The fabulous hat Melissa bought! I LOVE IT!

The super cute Apron I wanted to buy but sadly did not. Luckily I live about 5 minutes away... I will return for it one of these days!

She looks thrilled to death in this picture.

I will have to get some pictures of all of the beautiful homes of Sausalito. Flowers and Ivy grow up the walls and fences. Everything is just so picturesque.

Some shots of the Golden Gait Bridge.

Oh crazy Mikelle. If you ever leave your camera with Mikelle you are sure to have a few shots such as the above photo, left as a little present for you!

Jathan's new do!

Jathan got sick of his shaggy locks and decided to go with something really low maintenance... the buzz! I must say he is looking mighty fine. And check out how thin! He has lost so much weight! I am so proud of him. Now hopefully he will not get anymore broken bones so he can continue to enjoy being active!

Oh so serious... once again looking hot in the man truck....and no post is final without a picture of my sweet little munchkin!
