Happy Birthday Nola!

Our dear friend Kristie and Nick's little girl Nola decided to turn 3 a few weeks ago.

Lucy and Henry and I decided to drive on up to Camarillo to celebrate. . . wild west style.

Kristie and Nick went over the top creating a western scene that was perfect!

Bass Lake

BASS LAKE! 

Oh my word. 

The days I wasted in my youth wanting to "get out" of the mountain area. 

And now I try to get back in every chance I get! 

 Ron and Heather invited us to spend the week at their cabin and we jumped at the chance to spend days at the lake doing everything and nothing at all. It was a pretty eventful week. We had swimming sessions, dead geese, enchiladas con El Cid, stampeding cattle, stampeding senior citizens from Torrence, bee stings, free turkey sandwiches, and that was just the first half of the week. 

Epic. 

ROSIE IS 5!

Our little Rosie girl turned 5!

Heather and Ron threw a birthday party to remember!

There were little girls in nighties, nail polish, temporary tattoos, princess cakes, crunchie snacks, and a 4 poster bed in the middle of a back yard. 

What a night!
