Peanut is 16!

We had a birthday party for Peanut.

It was her Sweet 16!

We were joking at one point about it, but then we started to take it seriously.

She had lots of friends over.

She was not always understanding of the party, but she LOVED the pupcakes!

 Matthew selected an unique outfit to celebrate.

 Natalie had some of her pet loving friends over.

 The dogs all got dressed up. 

Peanut got the fanciest dress.

Chloe were a dress.

Charli wore a pink bandana.

Here is Peanut lunging her pupcake.

It was funny because she did not realize what it was at first.

Then, she did and was SO excited!

 This was actually not at the party.

Just more dog love.

Another Visit to SF...a Great Trip!

 I love San Francisco.

I love Bodega Bay and Sonoma County.

Love all of it.

Andy and I went for a few days to Sonoma County on our own, and during that time Brian took the kids to do some neat stuff in the city like a cruise around the city and to do some exploring of areas we haven't been to before.

We also went to all of my favorite food places.

I have a few I must always do: the Indian pizza place, sushi, gourmet ice cream (we have good ones here too, but they have several particularly good ones there), and seafood.

We spent 4th of July with Michelle, Pete, and Kai, as well as the Brians, in Monte Rio on the water.

Crazy because it was around 83 during the day and pretty hot, and then in the high 50s when we returned for the fireworks later.

All part of the magic.

The city had a bunch of "Summer of Love" exhibitions going on.  The photo above is from one at the deYoung.

 We went to the Shell Beach, just down the road from Brian and Brian's house.  The kids loved the tide pools, and of course, the shells.

 Something that was unexpectedly cool was that Matthew and Natalie LOVED collecting wildflowers.  They are plentiful and very pretty.

They looked for them for quite a long time!

 The kids had fun with Kai. He spent the night with us a few nights.

 Ahhhhh, the redwoods.

LOVE the redwoods.

I am dreaming of heading back there soon.
