Catching Up with The Halls

We have had a jam-packed couple of months and I am so ready for summer break! Here is a little catch-up . . .

Golf Pros & Tennis Hoes

40th surprise birthday bash for Todd.

Marcy pulled it off!

 A quick trip to Fresno and impromptu lunch with

these special gals - friends for over 20 years!

Our school's Spring Luau themed Gala kept me pretty busy the last couple of months.

Love these fundraising ladies!

The only time I saw David at the event (the beginning).

Duty calls!

Chris Stapleton concert at the Bowl

A little snack at Benchmark before the Adam Sandler show

On the way to the show . . .

Feeling the Journey vibe:

 I swear the Bowl is the best venue!

I don't when when I laughed so hard!

So surprised and a little teary-eyed to have received an Honorary Service Award 

for this school year. I truly love being at the school with the girls.

 I am a better person because I can give back to all our amazing teachers.

I want to be the most important role model (along with David) 

in Sophia & Kalista's life. And I can't be that person without our teachers.

So really, it is a win-win!

David just had his annual office party for their referrals.

It is always a themed party and this year was the best . . .

Super Heroes!

The food was so yummy. Omni Catering did not disappoint! 

I loved the roasted veggie platter. Beautiful, colorful, and scrumptious!

 And this antipasto platter was gorgeous!

 Favorite bites came from the stations: Sliders, empanadas, and gourmet grilled cheese.

My personal fave was the bacon, mozzarella, tomato, and pesto. 

 Me and Captain America :)

August Recap

School is back in session and I have been reminiscing about the few weeks preceding 

this annual event. I already long for summer 2016.

Sophia & Addy

I just love how these two pick-up right where they leave off.

Different schools...not a problem.

A precious moment of girl talk bonding.

Me and my munchkins!

Not so munchkins, I guess, huh?

While daddy was doing this:

We did this:

Shopping trip!

Cooling off at Menchies

Enjoying Dad's catch:

More beach time!

Why I love SB:

Glamping at El Capitan Canyon

(Way different from last summer)

 Pretty sure this "cute" livestock was the source of David's poison oak.

I won't share those photos. Your'e welcome.

 Just me and my shadow.

Makes me think of this old post.

Missing my Jeannine's breakfast buddy:

So cheers to summer 2015.

Now hurry up school and be done already!

Stay-cation

My long time girlfriends, Kathie & Anne, came for a visit last week. They booked their little SB trip at the Bacara and I tagged along for a little stay-cation of my own.

For a couple of days, my home looked like this:

And we enjoyed these views:

and did this:

and lots of this around town:

and whole lot of laughing and reminiscing.

Thank you Kathie & Anne for coming to visit.
I can't believe it's been over 15 years since we first met.
I love you gals!
