Jacks Birthday Dinner

Friday night we had a Birthday Dinner for Jackson. We were planning a party with all his little friends during the week so we thought it be fun to have a family dinner Friday! We went to Padaro Beach Grill at 6pm which is a super fun restaurant in Carpinteria. It has tables outside with a giant sand pit fot the kids to play in. The first hour was great but being a poor planner I forgot that the sun goes down at 7pm so it got cold and dark rather quickly so we rushed through the cake and presents! But we were just so blessed to have loved ones to share the night with.

IT IS COMING....IT IS COMING!

Come one come all!

Twosday Night with Jack

Last night was "Friends Night" at AWANAS so Caleb invited his pen pal Micah! they had such a good time:)



While Micah and Caleb were hanging out...Jack and I went on a night hike:) we walked around the church property and played with flashlights...then we headed to the playground! Two cats showed up and followed us around the rest of the night. One went even went down the slide at the playground. They even followed us right into the church sanctuary:) they were really cute!








Another nice Twosday night!!

Weekend of B-Days!

This weekend was insane!

It started Friday Night with Papa's Birthday at Chicago Ribs on Main St. YUMMY!

From there we dropped off the boys at a friends house and headed to a "Free Wine Tasting" at the Pierpont Inn...it felt like home. John and I are wine conosours, we love high class party's, expensive dinners, shallow conversations with total strangers about our vacation home in the Hamptons...you know the day in the life of the Harrells!


Or how about a super enjoyable evening with good friends and genuine conversations!
Thanks Jenny we had so much fun:)


Then came Saturday..we spent the morning garage sale shopping then came down to ventura for BABY LYRIC's 1st Bday! She looked adorable:) Another nice time with friends and cake:)




Sunday we went to church and then got to spend the afternoon with church family and celebrate new life with BAPTISM! It was so neat to see so many people come together and rejoice with their Statements of Faith! And the boys enjoyed the pool time!

Then we hung out in Ventura for a couple more hours till it was time for NOAH's B-Day!
Another awesome time with friends, good food, great conversation and of course toys!





Another crazy weekend and next weekend will be just as busy:) But we are oh so grateful for amazing friends and family that we get to share our weekends with!

PEN PAL?

A couple of days ago we Caleb received a letter in the mail...this is what it said!

Wednesday we sat down and wrote back...

Do to privacy issues we will no longer share what is written in the future letters...but I was tickled pink when we got this! I couldnt help but share:) I am just so grateful that my boys have friends in their life to grow, learn and build relationships with!

Twosday!

tuesday nights aren't usually super fun...Daddy is usually at youth group all night so its just me and the boys, and we've seen eachother all day.haha But Caleb started AWANA's last night. This will be his second year and he just loves it! That means Tuesday night is just the two of us! Mommy and Jack date nights and I love every moment of it:)
