{weekend notes}

Welcome Monday!  With open arms.  I can’t even remember the last time those words came out of my mouth….or in this case, typed on my keyboard.  It’s amazing what a relaxing weekend PLUS a goodnight sleep does for the soul.  Woke up ready to kick this weeks ass!  Even got some early morning steps, which hasn’t happened in far too long.  Monday’s are for fresh starts and I’m all about it today!  Just hope I feel the same way tomorrow 🙂

 

Intentions for the week:

• Keep Bay entertained – (pool dates + sleepovers + riding) 
• Celebrate Alex’s birthday with all the homegirls ♥ – (good times as always)
• Get 15,000 steps per day – (did it…got a workout in every weekday…this is a big deal) 
• Homemade ice cream – (did anyone try the Circus Animal Cookie Ice Cream?)
• Clean the back patio – (it makes me crazy happy)
• Get blonde again – (Allison straight up KILLED it) 
• Air dry hair 3x this week – (been rockin a fro)
• Taco Tuesday date with Bay – (tacos + convos were so good)
• Library for new reads – (Magnolia Table + True Roots + Gray Malin…not really reading material though) 
• Celebrity Golf Tournament – (whoop whoop)
• Walk the arboretum on my lunch break – (Too damn hot for that shit)

Last weeks Intentions: {weekend notes}

 

Highlights from the weekend:

We headed back up the hill Tuesday evening to celebrate the 4th at the Cabin.

Fancy meeting my sis + bro in-law at Strawberry Lodge.

Strawberry got fancy for the 4th.  But in sad news, the jukebox is broken.  Which is absolutely devastating if you’ve ever had the opportunity to play a song on it.

2nd traditional pit-stop: Lake Tahoe Pizza Co!

Bay also takes a picture in this bug every.single.time too!  What can I say, we are creatures of habit.

While we take pics, Cory makes friend with all the dogs 🙂

Surprised the kiddos with a donut board for breakfast.

I picked up every shape + size I could find.

And topped them with cute USA flags on toothpicks.  The kids where in heaven!

Read to celebrate the 4th! #cousins

To the beach!

 

Getting in a beach on the 4th has become a little tricky.  We got it all figured out this year though.

Load up all the bikes.  Drive down early to get a parking spot.  Ride the bikes back to the Cabin.

Then we ride back and forth all day.  Luckily our cabin is fairly close and there is a nice bike trail.

A lot of woke, no doubt.  But 100% worth it!

From the beach to The Beacon Bar & Grill for Rum Runners!  It’s a must!

Bay + Gram swam to the bouy.  It was high on Bay’s beach to-do’s!

Back to the beach after dinner for the fireworks!

Is it just me, or does the Summer seem to fly by once the 4th of July is over?  As fast as it’s going by, we’ve been loving every minute of it!

 

Unfortunately it was back to work for two days for me!

Made some good shit though.  Lemon Spaghetti with Salmon!  Coming to the blog this week!!!

And back to Tahoe Friday evening!

Coffee views from the cabin deck!

Guess where we went next?

Back to the beach to celebrate Kissey’s Birthday!

 

Kissey + Tio hooked me up with a beer holder.  Best.Day.Ever!

Baby Daniel the Yeti model.

Not interested in the fireball shots

Bud light limes + sun + my besties!

#necessities

Bay stole my hat

Kinda looks like I’m not wearing a suit.  Ha!  I was, just for the record!

Papa + Gram + all the kids ♥

Kissey’s Birthday Dinner on the deck

Made the best garlic bread.  Secret ingredient: mayo!  Don’t knock it till you try it!

Italian green beans

Mom’s Chicken Tortilla Casserole

With a funfetti cake, obvi!

And a game of pin the tail on the donkey!

Happy, Happy Birthday Kissey!!

Good bye Tahoe, until next weekend!

 

Make it a great day, my friends!
