Grandma's B-Day & Bay Area Visit

OK, so I still suck at the blog. Thanks Linny! I just stink at getting on the computer in general. Miles pitches a fit every time I get on the thing during the day, so I have been conditioned just to leave it alone when he is up, and during his naps I have been napping or zoning out to some mindless TLC or Bravo show on the couch before taking a nap. Those New Jersey housewives just tire me out!

So, jumping back a couple weeks, our little tribe had a great weekend in Chico June 6th & 7th. We went up to celebrate my mom's bday, but took advantage of the trip and went up a night early to sneak a date night in. It was much needed & we ended up having an awesome night. It started with dinner at Tres Hambres filled with stimulating conversation between a husband & wife and ended with us meeting up with the Laney's to watch The Hangover. I hate to condone the movie because it was so raunchy, but it was really hilarious. Probably the most I have laughed at a movie in a very long time. Brian decided that it will go down in history among the ranks of Pulp Fiction & Shindlers List. Ooookay Brian, suuuure ;)

The next day we celebrated my Mom's bday with friends & family. We had a great day BBQing & hanging out by the pool - no swimming for Miles yet because the water was a little cold, but Mikey jumped in. Brave, cold soul!

Grandma & Miles just kickin' it

Miles & I took a couple days the next week to visit Christina, Lily & Baby Luke. We were also able to sneak in a visit to Kyra & Joe's & meet baby Abby, who is so precious! Gianna may be Kyra's mini-me, but Abby is definately a Daddy look-a-like in person!

We also got some new patio furniture! It was a house warming gift from NIck & Nicole & we can't thank them both enough! We got an amazing deal on the set & I have to pass on the word. If you need outdoor furniture, go to OSH. They seriously have the best prices I have seen & I am a bargain huntress. This is our first patio furniture ever because we have our first backyard to put it in! I just love being able to sit outside & enjoy the backyard while hanging out with eachother or friends & family. We had our first BBQ & it was so much fun! We are really starting to enjoy the perks of owning a house ;)
