Hawaii...how I miss thee...

Busy Week in the Sun!

It was another fabulous and warm week here, so we spent a lot of time outside and just hanging out with friends. Here are a few weeks!

Carter and Brooke and Joey at Ryder Park in the fountain. We spent most of Monday hanging out at the park and chilling. It was awesome!

Tuesday, we had a birthday party to attend...Hunter and Jade (Brooke's little siblings) were turning ONE! So, we got invited over for pizza, cake, and a playdate. Carter and Brooke ready to EAT!

Hunter loved his hat!

 The birthday kids!

 Jade like the cake and licked her fingers so daintily! LOL

 Hunter went allll out and was quite pleased with himself!

On Friday, we went and painted pottery with some friends and had a great time! Carter and his friend Elijah looking like little monkeys! ;)

Post-It Note Holder

Here's a quick and easy project I made for Crop Chocolate - a handmade post it note holder. These are so fast and easy to whip up - perfect for teachers gifts or a small hostess present!

Watch for a video tutorial later in July!

Father's Day...

Carter and I made these up for Steve for Father's Day (not my idea - a free printable online). They turned out super duper cute! Hope he likes them!

Last day...

The last day of a very fun week at Pony Camp. Carter was really looking forward to today since it was parade day!

A few more pics from Pony Camp...

Carter and his friend Bernard on the train at the farm - a special treat for that day!

 FINALLY - a pic of the chicken petting...he really loves those chickens!

 One of the favorite activities - picking up the ducks and putting them in the water!

 We also started swimming lessons at the San Bruno Pool. Here's my little swimsuit model showing off...

Tomorrow is the last day at Pony Camp. Carter reallllly loved his week there! They are decorating their ponies and having a parade! I'll upload some more pics...

Pony Camp!

Carter is a really lucky boy this week - he gets to go to Pony Camp! He's going in the morning from 9-12 and you know mommy has to love him tons to get up and drive him over to Half Moon Bay for 9am! Actually, I was pleasantly surprised - the trip took 20mins exactly door to door. Not too bad!

I stayed with him today to watch and it was sooo cute! The kids got to see lots of animals, hold and pet them as well as learn basic animal care, feeding, handling, and even did some crafts. Carter had a great time and can't wait to go back tomorrow!
This was the highlight of the day (even for me!) teeny tiny baby bunnies - about 4-5weeks old. Carter thought they were cute, but wasn't too sure how to go about picking one up and holding them - but once they showed him he didn't want to stop!

This little white one loved him a lot - he kept hopping back to Carter and even fell asleep in his lap for a bit!

Next up - pony care! The kids split up and had to groom their ponies before they could ride. Carter is brushing a horse named Honey.

Note - he is always surrounded by girls. There were quite a few boys there too...but the girls all looooved Carter. My little ladies man!

This baby goat was so adorable - 4 months old

The thing Carter wanted to do most of all was pet a chicken. I had to giggle that of all the things he could do that was the number one priority in his mind. But, pet a chicken he did - lots of them. I didn't get close enough for a photo though. He also got to pet this guy...who really does say Cock-a-doodle-doo....a LOT!

Craft time - cute little frames to put pics in of their week at Poy Camp.

Getting ready for his ride on the pony. I think this one was named Mary...

Waving at me during his ride!

It was a really fun day!
