Summer in California

The summer has flown by! we have done so many things and have really tried to soak up every bit of the sun (not like its going anywhere, but still) 

For the last 4 years for Chase's birthday we have always either had a baby or have moved out of state, so it has always been crazy!

This year was no different, we had just moved from NC and were still in corporate housing desperately looking for a place of our own. We still managed to have some friends over to celebrate! Lucky enough our AMAZING friends the Holms from Durham in town! that made it that much more special for Chase. Gavin yelled out PAIGEY! when he saw his little girlfriend, he was so pumped!

This was the only picture I took that night, I was to busy stuffing my face with Costco cake :)

We were really lucky to see so many friends from NC this summer, Our other friends Jessica and Nate were interning at Google and invited us to Golden Gate park and some of the best ice cream Ive ever had, for their little girls birthday. Gavin was in heaven riding the big carousel and of course having his ice cream too! I always seem to forget how cool the City is! 

Chase always has something really nice planned for my birthday and someday I'll be a nice wife and do the same for him. But this year he planned a week away in San Luis Obispo and it was perfect. We literally spent every day at the beach, ate way too much and snuck in a bit of netflix once the kids were down. Hotel life is rough for parents LOL!

Lots of baby wearing

Gavin bought me a rose for my birthday, what a sweetie!

I know ENOUGH with the NC friends! But it was Awesome! Lis, Ian and their cute boys came to visit over a weekend and it was just like the good ole MBA days! We miss all our friends so much! We also really really love all of our CA friends! 

And lastly we had lots and lots of time with family which is amazing because Chase and I can actually get to have a conversation while everyone else entertains our children! 

We have had such a great time so far!
