Josh's 30th!

Josh's big 3-0 was this past month (I am so behind in posting it's ridiculous...) and I put together a little surprise party for the man. At first it wasn't really going to be a surprise... but then I went so long without telling him that I thought - why not?? I had 14 people from various parts of CA all meet at a local ice cream shop to start the weekend...

The unsuspecting victim...

Surprise, Josh! Ruby is wary of surprises...

Boys in blue... out for a day of hiking, breweries, and fun!

The girls stayed in and played with babies, read trashy magazines, watched trashy TV, and ATE like it was their job...

It. Was. HOT. So the kiddie pool was brought out and enjoyed by all - big and small. Lounging was a theme of this weekend...

Happy 3-0!! Carrot cake (his fave) for the man of the weekend!

Boys will be boys with fire...

Overall, SUCH a great weekend. I'm SO THANKFUL for everyone making the time to come down and hang out with our little family of 3 (soon to be 4!) and celebrate Josh! I'm also so thankful it was last weekend and not this weekend - this weekend I am going through a "I'm so over being pregnant because I no longer have ankles I'm so swollen" phase, so I wouldn't have been much of a host :)

Happy birthday, Josh!

** thanks to Auntie Kim for all the pics... again... **

Happy Canada/Camping Day!!

It's Canada Day! Josh was able to celebrate by doing one of his favorite things with one of his favorite people. Josh was able to go camping with Ruby (in our backyard)! He was so excited... and she actually got into it!! It was ADORABLE watching them blow up the air mattresses and getting all their blankets in order and packing up for the night under the "stars"/tent...
