David’s company had a company picnic today at Saratoga Springs Park. There was food, photo booths, face painting, jumpy houses, and games. Natalie had fun getting several tattoos and Tyler had fun in the jumpy houses.

Auntie Diana, Uncle Barry, Grace, Meliya, Uncle Steven, Auntie Kitty, and Hunter came up from LA for a weekend visit. Everyone packed into our house somehow without even using the living room! The kids had fun playing together. Natalie and Tyler love it when we have guests. On Saturday, everyone went to the California Academy of Science. The kids had fun trying to get butterflies to land on their fingers. In the evening we had everyone over for dinner and celebrated Grace and Meliya’s birthday. The house was crazy with kids everywhere and lots of food! It was a fun weekend, who’s next to visit?

The kids made mini pizzas for dinner

Cousins!

This evening we made our own mini pizzas for dinner. I thought it would be fun for the kids and it would get them to eat more since they made it. They had a lot of fun and made only a little mess! The pizzas turned out really yummy too. Here’s the recipe we used.

The kids are at their first sleepover at Big Uncle’s place. Tyler wanted to go but Nat didn’t, but I made her go anyways. David and I enjoyed a nice dinner at a Michelin rated restaurant this evening with Willy and Chubber and now we’re getting ready to watch a movie. I always dream about having kid free nights but after they are gone, I really miss them!

Happy Birthday Uncle Chubber!

This morning while getting ready for breakfast Nat exclaims, “It’s Uncle Chubber’s birthday today!”
Me: You should send him a text. Lots of happy faces!
Tyler: Can we go to his house today??
Me: No, he’s in LA, at school
Tyler: Sad face
