friday

best wishes for a super weekend.
we have a lot of good things going on this weekend plus jerry is taking monday off for an extra day of fun. sam starts another year of pre-school on tuesday so we plan on heading down to gilroy gardens on monday for one last hoorah. i have never been down to gilroy gardens but i have heard that it is perfect for young kids and hopefully it will be pretty quiet with most kids back in school. big crowds and long lines are not my cup of tea.
i love this picture of sam with the sof light and sun flare. such a sweetie pie!

**friday favorites**
we are hosting a summer party tomorrow. basically we invited a whole bunch of people over for an afternoon of fun in the sun. i am not ready to say good-bye to summer so why not go out with a bang? the water table and sprinklers will be in the backyard and a big jumpy house in the front. beach chairs, umbrellas and beach towels will be out for a place to sit and relax. we will serve all sorts of summer treats as well as a make your own ice-cream station!
i will post pictures next week.
this adorable illustration is by aline yamada and can be found at her etsy shop.
these adorable images are from the summer issue of small magazine. love the rainbow bikini!
i would love to lounge in this chaise from pottery barn for a few hours with a cool drink and a big pile of magazines.
these candies are absolutely beautiful. i would never be able to eat them...kind of like when you get a really beautiful candle and you don't want to light it! (found on martha stewart weddings blog)
