Day 243/366

The girls and I took a drive over to Travis AFB today to visit some friends. We had a great time, but I couldn't resist stopping by our old house. I was sad to see so many of my flowers are gone or dead. At least my yard was pretty while it was our house!

Juliet kept yelling Home Home! :(

We went up to the Ranch today, and we stopped at Kazi's tree. I miss my puppy!

We braved Picture People in the mall today trying to get a cute picture of the 5 cousins!

We have a house full now! Juliet loves having her big cousins here, and well Claire just goes with the flow as always!

Day 228/366

I've been having the worst luck driving my Mom's car around lately. First I broke her sun roof (motor died), then the sun visor broke, and today I got a flat tire! Thankfully I could tell it wasn't completely flat and was able to get off the freeway and into some shade. 

I was near my old family's house (that I nanny-ed for) and called the now 19 year old son to come down to help. Unfortunately we couldn't get the lug nuts off and had to call AAA anyways. However once he came he discovered the spare tire was also flat, but as able to inflate it and put it on for us! Andrew was a life saver running around with Juliet while we waited for the car to get fixed! 

The tire had a bulge in it, and thankfully is under warranty since it is only three months old!

Day 227/366

Someone stole the flowers John sent me for our 7 year wedding anniversary!

Day 226/366

It has been so great to cool off in the pool on all these 100+ degree days!

We met up with some local friends to bowl with Juliet. She insists on carrying her own ball and pushing it down the alley all by herself! Such a big girl now!

Claire was a happy baby today and loved her cuddle time with Uncle Dennis!

Day 219/366

We are having so much fun in the backyard on these over 100 degree days!

Day 218/366

I'm such a sucker for everything Toy Story and Little People, the two together is a bad thing! I found this new Buzz Lightyear toy at Target last night and gave it to Juliet this morning. She loves his space ship and all the sounds!
(There is also a Woody in the Race Car toy, I'm sure it wont be long before she has both!)

Day 217/366

We had a fun day yesterday taking Juliet to the brand new City Library, In N Out, and then to get her hair cut!
