Surfboard Cookies!

Confession time....

I have never been on a surfboard.

I've lived in Southern California since the age of 7.

A good portion of those years were spent in a town that actually had the word 'beach' in it.

I don't think I've ever lived more than 20 minutes from the ocean....even during college.

Oh wait!

There was the year and a half that Joe and I lived in Texas right after we were married.

We were completely landlocked....

and I developed a strange obsession with lighthouses.

Seriously.

I bought lighthouse ornaments, plates, pictures, placemats, puzzles....very strange.

But then we moved home and the lighthouses were packed away.
But I still haven't been on a surfboard.


And I'm pretty okay with that.
The Pacific Ocean is cold!
I'm more of a  'watch the waves while sipping a coconutty cocktail' kind of a girl.


I'm also a sucker for a good beach movie...

A little love....some moonlight....a song or two.
Fabulous!!!!
Disney's new movie didn't have Elvis, but it was still pretty cute!

She even has great printables!!!

Our family will be leaving for an island vacation soon.
Maybe I'll finally get on a surfboard!

Okay, fine....we all know that won't happen.
I'll be the lady with the big ole sun hat, sitting in a lounge chair next to the pool,  holding a fruity drink with an umbrella.

But I'll also have a fabulous view of the ocean!!!!

Here are some more fun beachy cookies!

Last Days of Summer!

Seems like summer goes by faster every year!

Right?

Crazy isn't it?!

Our summer felt like a whirlwind.

We had pool days, and fevers, and lazy days, and fevers, and vacations, and .....
(starting to notice something?)

It was the summer of bizarre sickness at our house.
We've gone through more motrin and tylenol than I'd like to think about.

There was a bit of a family vacation thrown in there somewhere though....
anyone care to guess where we went?

We saw some of these....

....and a few of these...

...even got a little wet!

I absolutely, 'no way, not in a million years' did NOT wear one of these....

...although, I may, or may not, have caught my almost 11 year old watching them walk by....

Any guesses?

Thanks for stopping by!!
