Mother's Day weekend 2017

Another weekend came and went. Friday night we hit up the Amigos Fiesta at school. It's one of the big fundraisers of the year and it was quite a party. Finn's class kicked it off with a Mexican dance, then there were games, the cake walk, food and lots of fun with friends.

Soph is really into braids lately :)

This is Finn, floating on his belly putting his whole face in the water. For a kid who has always hated the water, he's finally learning to swim and doing it FAST

Friday morning performance at the school assembly. Finn's class sang The Grand Old Flag.

Finn and Lola - amigos!

Dancing for the parents!

Saturday morning we hit up PB. Took the scooters out on the pier, and stopped at a coffee shop for drinks and croissants.

Saturday afternoon Soph had a yoga/pool party. These girls were seriously the cutest.

For Mother's Day we spent most of the day in Del Mar. Kids played at the beach, then we went to En Fuego for lunch and some much deserved beers. It was a gorgeous day to sit on the patio.

We ended the weekend with a late afternoon trip to the beach in LJ with Florence's fam.

Soph and Flo and Emmett who is never far from their side.

I mean.....they look at least 15 here.

Soph won an award yesterday at school for Academics. She was over the moon happy and we are so proud of her.

What we've been up to

It's been cold and snowy! We got almost a foot of snow on Monday afternoon and the kids had a snow day on Tuesday. They got hours of TV in the morning and then Noah came home and we all went sledding. The hill by our house was absolutely packed with kids. We had so much fun. Emmett cried and cried, saying "brrrr" until I threw him on a sled with me and flew down the hill. He cried the first time, and then loved it after that. Sophia and Finn were both so brave. Noah build them a jump and they both flew over it on the sleds over and over again. Finn loves to shovel the sidewalk. Noah snowboarded a couple days over the weekend so Finn was the man of the house - shoveling so Sophia doesn't have to even walk on the snow. Ha! Sledding! I went to a fun wine tasting party with other Teller moms on Saturday night. This was the welcome to the party. Story time! Oh Emmett.

Sophia turns 5!

Our little bunny turned FIVE last week! I can't even believe it, a whole hand. She took lollies to school for her classmates, and then we had a party at La Jolla Rec Center on Sunday. Complete with a bounce house, pizza and a cake big enough to feed at least 100 people. Seriously, the cake was ridiculous. Apparently I ordered a full sheet instead of a quarter or a half. Oooopsies. I think five is gonna be a great year for Soph. She has made lots of new friends and is so happy to go to school everyday. I'm so happy she's in TK, she is loving it. She got a new bike from us, and lots of cool art stuff from friends, and her first Barbie! She also got another Wonder Woman costume from Nay Nay, thank goodness. Cruisin' on her new ride. Now we just have to get rid of those training wheels. The actual night of her birthday she requested pasta so we went to Filipi's in PB. Hadn't been there in at least a decade and it did not disappoint. The waitstaff sang her ...

Our trip to Croatia

Helloooo! Well, we've had a few things going on so the blog has been neglected. But I want to post pictures from our last two trips this summer - Croatia and Italy. The first week of August, we flew to Split, Croatia and stayed there for a night at an Airbnb. Split is a big city with a great downtown area full of outdoor cafes, a huge jewelry market and is a main port to a whole bunch of Croatian islands. We spent 5 amazing days in Croatia - we absolutely loved this place. Gorgeous scenery, friendly people, very touristy with people from all over the world and inexpensive. One of the many beaches in Split... Noah bought a sweet raft for the kids. He about passed out blowing it up. Afternoon at the beach. Me and Finnster looking for a lunch spot. Sophia became a little fish this summer. She loved all the hotel pools and lakes/oceans/seas we came across. She met a friend this day, Thea, who we played with at the beach all day and then coinciden...
