Stanislaus County Fair

Last Wednesday we went to the Stanislaus fair to see the Wiggles live in concert.  It was a fun family night! The fair had lots of neat exhibits and animals.  We got to see baby chicks being hatched which was really neat.  Spencer even got to face one of his biggest fears. 

 Spencer's biggest fear......

 Holding a scorpion.  

Aubrey was so brave and wanted to hold it too.  Carter did too but we were worried he might squish it.

 It was awesome running into one of my dearest friends, Johanna and her daughter.  I don't see her as much as I like since she left me in Merced and moved to Turlock :(.  It was great catching up and hanging out.

 My good friend Murun and her family were also at the concert.  They saved us great seats!!

 The kids were adorable at the concert! They danced, sang and really got into it.  I loved watching all the smiles and laughs.  

 Such an awesome evening!!!

Sacramento

For Christmas my parents gave Spencer and I an over night in a beautiful bed and breakfast in Sacramento.  Part of the gift was watching the kids too.  We decided to use our gift in July in honor of our 7 year wedding anniversary.  It has been a wonderful 7 years of marriage!! I can't believe how fast it has gone and how many wonderful memories we have made.  It is wonderful being married to my best friend in the whole wide world.  We went up to Sonora on Friday and played there with the kids and stayed the night to get an early start on our trip Saturday morning. 

Camp fire and smores:

 We had a nice kid free drive to Sacramento.  It was great not hearing the Strawberry short cake soundtrack or having to hear, "are we there yet?" every 2 minutes.  We have been loving our phones and being able to check out Yelp for fun new restaurants to eat at.  We found a 5 star sandwich place in Elk Grove that was off the beaten path and was delish! We arrived to our beautiful bed breakfast.  This was the first time ever staying at a b&b it was very cool.  We loved how old fashion it was.  When we checked in the inn keeper took down our orders for breakfast and our favorite drinks.  They brought us what ever we liked and we felt very spoiled.  

 After checking in we headed down to Old Sacramento and walked around.  Such a neat town with lots of fun shops and yummy salt water taffy.  We also did some mall shopping too.

One of the reasons we picked the second weekend of the month was for second Saturday.  They close down part of mid town for an art festival.  We walked from the b&b and enjoyed looking at all the vendors and listening to the live bands.  We then headed to The Melting Pot for dinner.  This was also a first for us and we had a great time.

The food was AWESOME!! 

When we got back to our room, home cooked cookies and milk were waiting for us. 

 The next day we headed back over to Old Sacramento and rented bikes.  We went on a 10 mile bike ride along the Sacramento river.  It was such a beautiful morning and a fun activity.  We are now in the market to buy our own bikes and can't wait to go on a ride again.

 It was an amazing trip and just so nice to be the two of us. I love you so much Spencer and I'm so lucky to be your wife!!! I love that we have been able to grow up together and that we get to continue to grow old together.  I can't believe we have been together over 14 years and married 7 years its been a blast and I can't wait for another million more.  Also a big thank you to my parents for making it possible for us to have some time together that was the best gift ever! 

4th of July

 4th of July this year was in Mountain View at Spencer's sisters house.  We ended up going to San Leandro the night before to stay at my sisters.  It was a fun couple of days with family.

 A new fun activity this year was the Supinger Olympics. 

 The kids also got to go swimming and do a pineta. 

 We had a great time catching up with David, Carrie and family who were visiting from Utah.

This picture is from the night before with Titi:

After the party we drove home and did fire works in front of the house.

We had a great 4th of July!

Aubrey's Dance Recital

Wednesday June 27th was Aubrey's dance recital.  Aubrey has been going to Miss Denisa for a whole year now.  She has practice every Wednesday afternoon and I think out of the whole year we have only missed 1 class.  She reminds me to take her to class she loves it that much.  We were thrilled that both sets of grandparents could make it to this special night.

Family Pictures:

This is my favorite picture!

Aubrey is very lucky to have both sets of her grandparents close enough to enjoy in her special moments in life.

 We were excited to have Titi here too! 

Aubrey's class had 2 dances the first was ballet:

and the second was tap:

She did great!!! I mean really good! She did all the moves at all the right times and you could see it in her face how much she LOVES to dance.

Playing with her best friend, Grace after the show.

 A star is born!!!

Daddy surprised her with a beautiful bouquet of flowers!  It was a perfect night.  So much fun!! I love being a dance mama it is tons of fun.  I can't wait for many more recitals.
