During the summer, I pick fruit like it’s my job.
Maybe not quite, but we do hit up as many u-pick farms as possible every year. (If you’re going to live somewhere as expensive as the Bay area, it is ESSENTIAL to live it up outdoors.) I think every summer I mention on here that berry picking is my favorite thing to do. This was our first time picking cherries. The boys were in heaven climbing trees and getting juicy faces.

A couple of weeks ago we flew to Utah to see Ryan’s beautiful sister tie the knot with a great guy.
Air travel is way more fun with little kids. (…Or at least parts of it are. 🙂
Waiting for our Sprite. He was SO excited. The other three members of our party were conked out across the aisle. (Nice!)
I am so glad I’m related to these beautiful people!
Even with the amazing help of my parents, our kids were a HANDFUL the day of the wedding. Whenever the next wedding is, I’m not entirely sure they are invited. 🙂 (Still love them, though!)
We’re on on the home stretch to summer break! I’m excited to have more flexibility in our schedule, and I’m not overeager to have Trenton gone until after 3 every day next year. Kindergarten flew by. Â Funny how some moments it feels like I JUST became a mom, and other days it feels like it’s never been any other way.
And oh man, did this little firecracker love her first foray (that she can remember) to the pool!
Happy Friday, sweet friends! I hope you’re enjoying the most wonderful time of the year!
Erica, all three of your children are beautiful. When did little Miss Firecracker get so big? She is precious!
Thank, Leigh! I have really been missing you lately – Maybe it’s because we spent all of yesterday afternoon at the Hillsdale Park we used to love to go to with you and Clara! And also because Quinn is always wearing a pair of Clara’s old shoes (some pink pedipeds). Anyway, time does fly, doesn’t it? Hope the east coast is being good to you!
Wow, you make me want to go pick cherries! That’s not until August in Utah, I think! Your kids are soooo cute!!!! Thanks for sharing!
I’m a little behind here, but if you liked the place you picked cherries can you shoot me an email where you went? We passed all the cherry stands on our way to Carmel this weekend and I was sad not to stop at a single one! (Cherries are my favorite). We do berry and apple picking but I hadn’t ever thought of cherry picking.
Also, I just have to say I haven’t braved traveling with three children yet, so good for you.
The little princess is getting so big! And congrats to your sis. Maybe she’ll make a writing cameo on “Let Why Lead” :-)Newlyweds may be interested in reading her perspective…
Your pictures are so lovely! And it was fantastic to see you and your family at the wedding. I agree, I’m so glad to be related to such beautiful people!
Hiiii Ashleigh! It was SO great to see you at the wedding and meet your better half! 🙂
