July

Well it's August 1st! The end of June and the month of July flew by so fast.  I ended June moving out of my classroom to a new district/school closer to home.  I am so excited not to have to commute 1 hour each way to work, instead it will only take me 20 minutes to get to my new school.  The beginning of July I went home to see my family and my pregnant best friend.  Between being a stay at home wife and preparing to teach a new grade I have been busy.  And lets not forget having my cutie pie Wally with me all day!

4th of July in Huntington Beach

My brother has been working on growing his "stache" since we saw Elton John.

Being at the Folger's house Joey had to dress the part.

My grandma and I just love watching parades!

I ended the 4th with Erin and her family (This was the first time I got to see her babies bump- she's having twin boys!).

I was lucky enough to visit my whole family (including my Aunt and Uncle from Colorado) for Gianni's 3rd birthday.

The whole family!

Besides being with my family and enjoying the warm sunny days of Orange County, I made sure I was able to attend one of Erin's baby showers.  Erin is the glowing mommy-to-be in the purple dress.

Coming home Will and I spent a Sunday at the Blue Lake Folk Music Festival.  It was so much fun.  We brought our little Wally Dog and towels to sit at the park and eat delicious BBQ, beer, and lively music.

Wally just loves laying out in the sun.

Will and I ended the month celebrating our 2nd wedding anniversary.  We had a nice night getting cocktails, appetizers, and an Italian dinner.

The restaurant celebrated with traditional Italian wedding cake.

Now that August has begun we have a full month of plans.  My mom is traveling to visit us and help me set up my new classroom!  When my momma leaves we have a couple days to get ready for Will's parents to visit and then his cousins.  We love having visitors and showing them our fun Humboldt life.  Lets not forget that school starts at the end of the month.
