What did you do all day?

Don't you love that question? Well the answer is a little of this, and a little of that. And the next thing you know it's time for dinner. So here is a little view onto our days at home. In between meals and snacks, we play Hullabaloo and we dress up.

Day at the Park

Jaxon went for a play date today, so we packed a picnic and headed to the park for some special Mommy and Mason time. We ran in to some friends from school and they played soccer with Mason while their mom and I chatted. We also hit the playground for some serious slide, rock wall and swing action.

Happy Birthday Friend!

Just wanted to wish my dear friend Marissa a Happy Birthday! Hope you got the cricket you wanted!

Lady of Leisure

Ok, I admit, I did absolutely nothing constructive today. I went to the gym at 5:15am (Marissa, where were you???) and then came home and jumped back in bed. Got up with the kids, made breakfast, sat on the couch and read, made lunch, watched a movie and took a nap, read some more of my book, painted a picture with Mason, then went out to grab dinner with the family. I could get used to this. Happy Summer Vacation!!!

Life is Sweet

For my birthday, I decide dwe should go pick cherries. For my whole life, we have lived within minutes of a ton of fruit stands and u-pick farms. I have not once been to anything other than a grocery store for my fruit. Now I'm not sure I will ever buy fruit at Safeway again. We spent less than $20 picking the most amazing fruit yesterday. The kids went crazy picking (and eating) whatever they could get their hands on. They especially love spitting the cherry pits all over the ground. We spent lots of time trying to clean the "evidence" off of their faces. We also had to explain to Jaxon that you can't complain to the cashierr that you have a tummy ache...a dead give away for eating free fruit.

This is 35!

Well, Happy Birthday to me! (And Happy Birthday to my dear friend Charlene!) Today I am 35. There are many reasons to be thankful on a day like this. I have lived another healthy and happy year on this earth. I still have plenty more to go. I have an amazing life. I have an incredibly loving and patient husband, two little boys that are full of life and love, a supportive family, great friends, and a job that I love going to (although I'm super happy to go there for only 4 more days this year). A girl could not ask for any more in her life. Well, except a trip to Mexico, ok I have that too! I am blessed.

Time Flies

Holy canole, it's been a week since I blogged. A lot has happened since last Tuesday. Shawn and I celebrated our 10th anniversary in true Culcasi style...we went out to dinner with the kids. We stuffed our faces with fattening, delicious italian food at Johnny Carino's. Then we treated ourselves to a midweek Starbucks. Ooh La la, we are living on the edge here in Oakley! Friday night we went to DVE's end of the year party. I drank mucho Tequila and had a blast. Not too crazy about the photos I've seen of me, but those can be shredded at a moments notice. Saturday, we picked up Nana and Papa's dog, Tiffany, who we babysat for 2 days. Can you say carpet cleaner??? Oh my, not sure I'm ready to clean dog crap on a regular basis! However, Mason is in love with her and I know I need to get my boys a little doggy of their own! We also braved the County Fair on Saturday afternoon. We actually had a terrific time and we didn't see too many scary people. I'll post pictures another time, gotta head to bed. It's been a long week and it's only Tuesday, if ya know what I mean! 7 more days of school and 19 days til Mexico. O-ley!
