Celebrate...

Last Saturday, we headed up to Bakersfield to celebrate Birthdays! We had kids and puppy in tow... Don't know why this picture is sideways but I am loving all the puppy love!...

Miss June was quite smitten by Ruger and vice versa!

The 19-year-old who still loves pool toys...hehe! This (Nemo) was actually part of his gift from Brooke...they took it to the beach and played with it in the ocean! Oh, to be young again!

Mike, June and Dalton...

The birthday girl and our gracious host...this was our final pool party on Vyn Drive since my parents are moving to their brand new house in September...new memories will have to be made there! :)

Axel - such a good boy as he observed the party from afar!

DeAnn and Grandma Nonie...

Me and Kristen...

Dillon and Brooke...

Mother and daughter...

My Dad lovin' on Ruger...

Here Derek is hangin' out with June as they watched the boys jump in the pool while catching a ball being thrown by Mike...June loved it and belly laughed each time...so cute!

Nice form boys!...

My Dad and Dick (FIL)...

Kristen, DeAnn and yours truly...

Ruger's first time in the pool! Here he is trying to float with his buddy, June...

And then he's off to the edge with everyone cheering him on...such fun!!

June made her rounds for lovin' from the birthday girl and...

birthday boy... :) My Dad's birthday was just last week, but my mom wanted him to open his gift early so we could all see it! She surprised him with a piece of art by an artist they had seen in Santa Barbara...it is an amazing 3D rendition of places on and around the Pacific Coast Highway...

The perfect ending...singing Happy Birthday and inhaling Smith's champagne cake!

Oh, happy happy Day!
