Matt's Visit in July

We were so lucky to have MATT, Cole's brother from N.Y. Come to see us this summer! JUDE LOVED him! Cole was working most of the time so it was fun to really spend time with Matt, and for Matt to spend time with Jude! OF COURSE, we jammed as much as we could in the time he was here!

@ the Beach, Santa Monica



The Observatory, looking at the views and stars

The Childrens' Museum (this is one of Jude's favorite places!!) FREE too!!

I think this pic is awesome!


@ the LACMA (Los Angeles Count Museum of Art)..no joke this is in the elevator-it was HUGE


As you can tell Matt was in to all the museums, we had so much fun checking them out with him too!

MY Birthday 7.26.10

This year was my GOLDEN birthday! I turned 26 on the 26th! It was such a perfect day! The night before Jackie took me out because Cole was out of town. Jackie and I went to Toy Story 3, A Romantic dinner (seriously it was so funny they put us in the romantic area of this restaurant with candles everywhere) Anyway we had a blast together. Then the next morning she came over early so we could go out to breakfast, Cole wasn't suppose to be home until noon. Well Cole surprised me so we all went to our favorite little cafe down the street.

Then Ryan and Johanna came over to take care of Jude for the DAY!! Cole took me to SIX FLAGS....yep, I love those places! Cole and I had SOOO much fun together, I seriously love when we get time together! (pics on my phone)

THEN Arlene had a little slumber party for me at her AWESOME retro building! It was a blast!! We seriously did not get ANY sleep! I think we went to bed at 4 and woke up at 7...ugh! Oh well, that is what a slumber party is! Anyway THANKS to all the wonderful people in my life, I had an amazing birthday!!

Utah in July

Again I know these are super late, but it's for my own "Journal" reasons for why I have to go back and move forward!!!


It was so fun in July we were able to go as a family to a big family reunion. Megan came from Italy, with little Pete, as well as Pasquale coming for a few days, Ruth came from Texas, Renae and family came form North Carolina, and my little family from Cali...(well not from, just currently living, we will not claim being from here)

Anyway we did SOOOOO much while we were in Utah, it was actually a little crazy! But of course SO MUCH FUN!!!

how we miss our family.......
