So wonderful.


It is hard to believe that July is days from being over and summer is half way over.  Where did the time go?  Last summer was crazy hot and this summer has been super mild and the water is already cooling down. I wonder if we will get any heats waves this summer or maybe in the Fall.

July was feel of great things.  After the Fourth of July, we celebrated a very important birthday. Tallluah turned 3 and she was so excited about it!  On her birthday, she was surprised with tons of balloons, fun presents, dinner at Wahoos with her family and three candles to blow out on her yummy chocolate cupcakes.  She was one happy girl and her favorite present was her Cinderella Glass Slipper Shoes.

A few days later, we celebrated with Tallulah's birthday party at Feather Acres farm. It was a Rainbow theme party and it turned out perfect.  I had lots of help from my wonderful family.  A huge thanks to Abuela, Auntie and Grandma.  Tallulah had such a beautiful birthday because she is surrounded by so much love.

The day after the party, Aaron and I renewed our wedding vows after ten years of marriage!  Our loving friend, Jonathan lead the ceremony down at Beacon's beach and then our dear friends Nick and Leah, hosted a party at their house to celebrate the occassion.  It was very special to renew our love for each other but to also share it with all our wonderful friends who we did not know ten years ago.  The other nice surprise was that Aaron's brother Rich and his wife Sara surprised us and drove down from up North.  It was so awesome to have them here with our nephew Julien.

It has been a busy month and now we are gearing up for Tallulah's summer camp at her preschool then the start of preschool.  Joaquin is 9 months old and busy blasting it and crawling everywhere and talking like crazy.  August will be a bit more mellow and we hope to have some beach time soon.

Happy Summer!

Love,

Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Fourth of July!

First of all, I cannot believe it is July!  Summer is half way over!

Last weekend, I was the host to Auntie Andrea and Uncle Jeremy's baby shower for little Stella.  It was a beautiful day at Moonlight Beach lookout.  Aaron and I kicked butt and made awesome cupcakes.  Aaron's first time doing all the piping with the frosting and they turned out pretty good for beginners!

The shower was a success but afterwards Joaquin and I were hit with a cold.  Joaquin ended up with a yucky ear infection and I had a sinus cold but we all got well, just in time for the Fourth of July.

The weather was so grey and cloudy the last couple days before the Fourth but it ended up being the perfect beach day to celebrate the Fourth of July.  We spent it at Beacon's beach, where we have been going for the last 8 years.  I love setting traditions! 

The next couple weeks are full of great things for our family.  Tallulah is turning 3 next week and her big party is coming up soon!  Also, Aaron and I will be renewing our wedding vows for our 10 year anniversary.

We look forward to a month of celebrations!

Happy Summer!

Love,
The Bravos
