Music!

This is going to be dedicated entirely to just a few of my favorite bands/artists.

Hopefully it will give you ideas of new music to try, or let me know if you like any of them too! I'll try to post any time I find a great new artist.

Weekend with Family

Wow! This past weekend was very busy, but a lot of fun! Caleb's brothers and their wives came into town and also Caleb's step-dad's daughter and her boyfriend. (you follow all of that?) Hehe. Lots of people and lots of plans! After our concert Friday night with my parents (see previous post) we were ready for the rest of the weekend. Saturday morning started with a yummy breakfast at Caleb's mom's house (Thanks Cindy!) where everyone met up. Then it was off to wine taste! We stopped at Laetitia (in between Santa Maria and Arroyo Grande) and by that time we were all hungry again!

Valerie, Me, Jennie and Beth

So we packed into our cars again and drove a few minutes to Avila Beach. The day couldn't have been better for wine tasting and the beach!!! I think it was in the 80's or even 90's, BEAUTIFUL. Avila was so much fun, I actually got in the water and swam and jumped through the waves....I haven't done that since I was a kid!!!

Right out of the water!!

That night it was time for a BBQ back at Cindy's. Quite a feast! Tri-Tip (of course!), Salmon, corn, orzo salad, fruit salad, grilled veggies, and cheesecake for dessert. And lots of yummy drinks too :-) I personally was enjoying the good wine that we bought earlier that day. We had a lot of fun playing games! We all like to laugh!!!

Cindy "The Mom" :-) Laughing during our game!

Sunday was a bit more relaxed and so was Monday.......on Monday some of us went to SLO and enjoyed another day of nice weather and a bit of shopping. Then everyone went home!!

Monday night was also really fun to because Caleb & I went to my parents and got to see my brother, his wife, and their 2 adorable kids who we haven't seen in 8 months!! It was SO GOOD to see them and get hugs and kisses from Sam & Abigail. I'm sure going to miss all of them when they leave August 12 to move to Egypt. :-(

Look how cute they are, and they're getting so big!

Me, Samuel, Caleb & Abigail having fun!

All in all it was a great 3 day weekend seeing so much family and doing so many fun things!
