Daddy's birthday, Malibu Cafe(again!!) and more fun around the house!

 We've had a SUPER busy last few weeks.  We kicked off Daddy's birthday with baseball practice followed by a family dinner with Nana and Nonno and cake at our house! We've realized if we want to have any social life to speak of we need to thread it between all our kids activities and lately there's been a LOT of threading! We had mommy's cousin Tracy visit last weekend from Washington DC.  The kids love a house guest of course!  We took her with us to our friend Sanjay's b-day party and visited Malibu Cafe for the day.   The kids already have their Halloween costumes all picked out so we went on a bike ride with all of them dressed up:)  We are so very busy and often have no idea what day or month it is but we're having a blast!!

Preston starts Baseball!

Preston's team name is the Transformers which is so very fitting! He had his first game today and he hit the ball with no tee! We are so amazed and very proud of him.  It was so super hot today and we did not get one complaint from him.  Not surprising...he's super easy going so he's so perfect for this game.  We think he's found his calling!

Labor Day weekend: Nonno's Malibu Chili Cookoff and Malibu Cafe

The Malibu Chili Cookoff is always one of our favorite days of the year.  It's amazing to see how much work Nonno does to make this amazing event happen each year.  The kids love the rides and all the "fair" food and love seeing Nonno at work! We met Nicole and Vivien there this year.  Vivien's daddy always works security at the event for Nonno so he also has  a very important job:)   The day before we spent the afternoon at Malibu Cafe with Nana.  Mama took paddle boat rides around the lagoon with all of the kids.  We got an amazing table under a huge tree and enjoyed cocktails and a yummy meal!  This is a little slice of paradise right in our backyard and the kids always have a blast running around the grounds:)
