We had a super jam packed fun weekend. We were glad this viscous cold hit us all hard on after the weekend. Jazz in the park, bike rides to the beach, fun 4th of July bike parade, and Del mar fair left our immune system a little compromised to battle this horrible virus. Brayden has finally recovered, I am 50/50 and Tony left for Catalina yesterday still sick with an ear infection. I think surfing 5 times when he knew he had a cold was not the smartest idea. Chaos in the kiddie pool

Chaos on wheels



I hope everyone had a fun 4th.


Who is watching these kids and letting them play and dig things out of the trash at Jazz in the park?




These guys... busted






Watching the Monster truck show at the Del Mar Fair. I lasted about 5 minutes and excused myself to wander around the fair and steak out the food.
Projects-





A VSA San Benito pendant that I purchased at an estate sale that I am having fun working into a fun and bulky necklace. i have had an ounce of this 24 gauge gold wire left over from our wedding. This has been a good opportunity to fix and restring half a dozen of my other pieces that have needed repair or a fresh face lift. I have missed my beads.






Brayden's first sleeping bag. I loved the pottery barn kids one and actually went as far as purchasing it. After thinking about how silly it was to spend $70 on a sleeping bag for a 2 1/2 year old, I better make one and return the fancy one. I am still fighting with the zipper but I am close to winning the battle. I cut up a fishy octopus sheet I had to line the inside and use it on a couple of the patches. The rest of the fabric I had lying around. I felt good to use up a little of my stash. So far it has not been used camping but has been used to tumble down the stairs.


A refinished top to our dining room table Tony made us a couple of years ago.






More pictures from our second home Legoland.. We got good use out of our 4 free guest passes. Tony actually got to go and see where his family has been hanging out.



It could be snowing and he would still run through the splash pad.

The rock n roll finish line.
Looking forward to beating this years time of 2:30.04 next year.

I love this photo. It was worth every penny I had to spend at Janey and Jack to qualify for the free photo session. This was taken a few days before his tooth got fixed.


It seems that I think about posting a blog entry at the beginning of the month always when I pay bills. Not sure what the correlation is but I have been neglectful in my updates. Another month has come and gone. Filled with running, playing, crafting, lots of sewing and a little work mixed in. I promise to post our latest projects soon. Tony has begun working on a wooden surfboard, and I have been sewing up a storm.
