It's all about the word DAD.....and DOCK weekend....

Usually the question answers itself on a beautiful saturday or sunday afternoon when the sun comes out and we step out onto the dock....especially if Kali is game-free....It's simple, it's peaceful and it suits us just fine....This day we'd plan to go shopping for appliances...but then we sat out talking to Mark and Jordan...and well...I pulled out my chair..and soon enough pulled out Bill's too....(we just did more planning on paper....) lol! For the last 5 years we've been remodeling the beach cottage...(Condo) and now it's time for the kitchen and living room. It's exciting, it's fun...but it's mind boggling too! It's like you wish you could just hire someone to do it...someone that knows your style...your colors...and just do it. We are saving money and sourcing everything on our own.....ohhh come on patience...ohhh come on agreements....haha! Jordan has wanted to come over and "fish on the dock or take the little boat out"- We welcome them with open arms...or open gates, I should say....It's amazing when we mention to Kali about taking her friends out...or taking the kayaks out...she rolls her eyes at us....But boys like Jordan soak up the chance to toss his line in the water...or putt around out there for a while...

Jordan waiting for the big bite!



Saturday afternoon was spent at Sandra's house for Father's Day celebration bbq. We were asked to bring Margarita's...simple enough...and Bill's speciality- Gaylord and Billy 2011

All the kiddo's in the jacuzzi....Their backyard is almost finished with their remodel...their house is beautiful...and the backyard even more....

The kids bought Bill a "Slide Anchor" for the boat.....we've always wanted one..and realize some days we need one...so here it is....and will be put to good use this summer at the lake. (Thank you Sean for picking it up for us) A little hiccup on Saturday when our friend Randy was gonna stop by and pick up Bill to go over to West Marine to get things they needed because of their "sale"...after Bill said WE need an Anchor hun! lol ohh boy! Blocked that action....again!

Our family favorite place to dine. Simple. Yummy. Organic. Located in Huntington on PCH and Warner. I encourage you all to try it. Nothing fancy. But the food is delish..


Kris brought this card. The words the kids write each year bring a new meaning of what Bill means to them. I love to read their interpretation each year. So sweet.


Kali's absolute favorite dish on the planet. We used to share this. Mango Blueberry pancakes with egg whites scrambled with veggies...(all organic)-Now she asks for her own...and Bill and I share our dish...and happily share with her anyway...lol- Note: Look how cute the blueberries look in the syrup. awwww.....it's the little things.....


Our DAKINE Quesadilla.....amazing. Simple as that.

Cuddle bugs. Chilly Sunday morning....but we love our little picnic bench...with a view of the beach across the street....


We love their Wally's Walnut Smoothy too! YUM! Kris orders their version of a Chorizo burrito. In fact it's SOYRIZO....and until now if he reads...doesn't even know the difference. He said "Mom I love this burrito" I said..."Well yea hun it's really healthy...and it's good too"- teehee!


The banner on the way home from breakfast....so sweet.

Bill and I decided on a little boat ride around the harbor....just to chill- Kali wanted to stay home.....

Awwwwww


My dream house. Not located exactly where I'd like in the harbor...but it's style, it's color..everything about it is us. On their outside fireplace mantel, she has about 50 candles that line the entire top...so rustic, so elegant and beautiful.... They own "Hot off the Grill" restaurants in HB and LB.

As we cruise by....Kali on the dock just as cozy as ever.....still didn't want to hop in with us....


Back and chillin while Bucks sleeps in my lap....he loves the boat...Kris left him with us and he has a good time. Haha...can you tell?

Boat watching...





He didn't want to hang with us on the dock...so instead he found his bed on the patio....


Our Father's Day BBQ.....we love grilled veggies....we also love grilled Pineapple....and Pizza. Something fun and yummy to try...get a frozen pizza...preferrably cheese...and add your own veggies and sauce to the top...put on the grill to the side...and let it melt and cook...so yummy! Nice little appetizer before dinner....


And that's how our little weekend went.....Cheers to humpday...and come on sunshiney weekend!
