Busy Weekend

We overdid things this weekend, but we had fun!

Friday we went to Farmer's Daughter to pick apricots for our jam

Picked about 30#s.  They are YUMMY!

Saturday we went to Stockton to watch Oliver play at UOP.  He played six games this weekend!  

After watching one game the kids and Emma decided to spend the rest of the afternoon in the pool.  I slept

Sunday ~ HAPPY DADDY'S DAY!!

Kids made apple pie, creme brûlée and chocolate pudding for Daddy's dessert buffet!

Celebrating My 50th

Tonight Mom got our family all got together to help me celebrate my 50th birthday!  We had the most delicious dinner at Esin in Danville followed by chatting, playing and cake at home.  I had a great time ~ it was nice to be able to get together and have some fun.

For my dinner I had a caesar salad

I shared a bit of Mrs. Nitta's salmon

AND a little of Daddy's prime rib!  Everything was SO DELICIOUS!

Is Elementary School OVER?

Today Bailey and her friend Emily threw a party to say goodbye to another friend,  Emily, who is moving back to Southern California and to celebrate the end of fifth grade!  We served hot dogs, chips, fruit kabobs and flower pot pudding cups.  The girls worked on picture frames and took home a framed group picture so they have a nice memory of their friendships.  

We took this picture first thing, sent it to Costco and picked it up before the party was over so they could place it in their frame

Bailey and Grandma made fruit kabobs this morning
