Nutshell summer: This is July

We went up to visit Gramma Kamae and leave flowers. It's been 12 years.

We spent a great weekend with our Brandow Ohana who met us in San Francisco to watch the Dodgera play (smash) the Giants at AT&T park. Another ballpark to check off the list! We sure do love this family of ours. It was great fun to spend time with them!

I started a series of (6 weekly) cooking classes! Yum and loved it!

JT continued Dirtbag baseball camp earning the most improved player of the week award!

GK came down for the weekend to visit!

HeaBug started daily swim lessons that went on for a whole month. We rode bikes every day. She loves Ms Julie.

JT ended another week at camp, this time earning the Dirtbag Hustle award! This is his THIRD year winning this award!

We cut down a tree in our backyard, loaded it up and took it to the dump!

Our sweet nephew Kalani came to visit from New York for a week! We had so much fun!  We went to the circus.

We spent his 4th birthday at Disneyland!

Took him to his first Dodger game, they won and we got to see fireworks!

We wrapped up his awesome week up with a superhero birthday party celebrating this super special boy. Can't even say how much we enjoyed getting to spend time with this part of our heart that lives on the east coast.

Continued cooking classes

JT got an Iron Man award for attending so many weeks of Dirtbag camp! He was so excited! The award was signed by all the coaches.

Using my new crust recipe, we made apple pies with our friends the Mabry's! So much fun!

Busy and fun month!

Spent a week in Laughlin at Lake Mohave/ the River with our Booth Fam.

Our nephew Elisha celebrated his 12th birthday!

Spent the weekend in San Diego with our friends watching the Dodgers beat the Padres at PETCO Park.

Left early on Sunday because Mr B was in intense pain! Drove straight to Maga's to drop off the kids then went to Urgent Care where tehy sent him to the ER where they admitted him for Gallbladder issues.

He never stops. We were in the hospital for 4 days! Thanks to my wonderful sisters and mom, I was able to stay with him almost the entire time!

After having the blocked stone removed, he was scheduled for a laproscopic surgery to remove the gallbladder.

After being discharged (and a quick stop at work) he went home to recover. Took a day off and then painfully got back to the grind. Thank you to everyone who brought meals, picked up kids, brought meds, sent texts, prayed and offered good healing thoughts!

Kids spent some time at the shop and we bought a new piece of equipment called a CNC machine.

And JT went to his first week of Dirtbag Baseball camp. 

Phew!

Up next, July!
