Westly is FOUR!

On the one hand, it’s super exciting…on the other, how did time fly by so fast!! Not to dwell on that, here’s what made his 4th birthday super fun! First, the bounce house – um, more correctly the CARS bounce house! A tasty lunch with friends: Some Pinata action: Next event…your big brother playing “Happy [...]

Hunter’s First Soccer Game 2012

I was at this game, less than a week ago, taking these photographs…. I uploaded them last night and started reviewing them this morning…. and then realized I have just one question….. When did Hunter get so BIG?!?!? Expect more photos of his games in the future, as I contemplate this question thoroughly.     [...]

Sharing the Fun!

  As you may have noticed, this week I was gone and away from my computer a lot! You see, our anniversary falls every year over the President’s Day weekend, so we always have a bit of extra time off that we like to spend together. We actually picked this date to get married based [...]

The Final Phase

My Mother-In-Law began hospice care yesterday. Needless to say there is much sadness in my family right now. I’ve been no stranger to death in my life and the pain and sadness that comes along with it…and the grieving that follows. I’m by no means an expert in what to do or how to behave, [...]

A Moment to Brag a Bit

Today I’m going to take a moment to brag a bit about my oldest daughter, Libby. A couple of weeks ago she mentions to us, “I’m getting an award at a ceremony in November 8th, would you guys like to come?”. Well, of course we do. She mentions it so casually – which is so [...]

Sunday Sock Monkey Fun

Westly just received a birthday gift from his awesome Grandma Pat…this amazing SOCK MONKEY! The boys just love it…especially because it’s taller than Westly is. Taller now, that is. I’m sure we’ll watch him pass up the sock monkey (and us) over the coming years! Oh, why do they have to grow up?!?!     [...]

BlogHer Sponsor Ella’s Kitchen

There were so very many sponsors at the BlogHer11 expo. So many, that I didn’t even make it through the whole expo. I ran out of time and to be honest, energy. Apparently, the amount of “goodies” or swag you could leave with was monumental. I left with more than enough and in fact, too [...]

BlogHer 2011 – Thoughts #1

My first BlogHer. WOW! I still feel like I’m processing all I learned, heard, saw, felt, and experienced. I have a feeling I will write quite a few posts sharing all my thoughts as I sort it all out. (Hence the #1 in the title above). This one is just an expression of how I [...]

When Pops is away….

Pops is away for the next week. He’s off in Mexico on a surf trip with his buddies. One word describes the moment… aaaahhh!   Don’t get my wrong, he’s the love of my life, my soulmate, the yin to my yang…all of that, but in a moment of honesty, it’s so nice to have [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Sport Star Ty

Happy Anniversary to US!

Yep, 16 years ago today I joined the “Hunter” crew. I gained an amazing spouse and soulmate and two beautiful daughters. Wow, how time flies. I can’t believe it’s already been 16 years of marriage (17 years together). I can’t imagine a different life and feel so blessed I have this one. CHEERS, ~ Lita

Ciao Texas

Today, we left Texas. I’m sure we’ll be back soon. We had a fun trip and loved seeing and catching up with family! Tomorrow, back to reality…and oh yeah….work :) Happy Tuesday, ~ Lita

The Christmas Quilt

Have I told you how very, very talented my mother is? This Christmas I received an incredible handmade gift from her. Over the past year, I heard her often speaking of a Christmas quilt she was working on. In fact, many times I asked her to email me photos of it and her progress. I [...]

Wordless Wednesday – Holiday of Lights Fun

Earlier this week, Pops and I took Mimi, Hunter and Westly to Gilroy Gardens Holiday of Lights. It was a chilly night here (no, not compared to the rest of the country), but we kept super warm laughing and having fun with the boys. Here are some photos from the fun: Let’s just keep the [...]

Crazy Christmas Week

This week has been INSANE!! I swear every year I say this is not going to happen…and I start all the preparations early. My decorations were up before Thanksgiving week was over. Most of my presents were purchased before the second week of December began…the problem is the word “most” in that sentence. The reason [...]

Happy Birthday Libby!!

Today, my oldest daughter turns 29. WOW! I met her just after her 12th birthday and love that she’s been in my life almost 17 years now. I simply cannot imagine a life without her and all that she’s brought to mine. There are simply not words to express this to her. I am a [...]

Wordless Wednesdays – Love

This could also be a post for “Lita’s Loves”. xoxo, ~ Lita

My Boys – Round 1

There are so many incredible people in my life, and I just happen to have hundreds of photos of them. Here are some of the boys that I love, love, love with all my heart. This first one was taken at Stinson Beach last year. They look cold, but oh so handsome! Pops and his [...]
