Bastille Day + Neon Trees = Yay!

Happy Bastille Day! I'm not a big celebrator of this holiday but Tom's family is! His parents had a wonderful get together filled with lots of French food and yummy pastries! The eclairs and cream puffs were delish!

 

After the Bastille Day celebration, I met up with friends to see the Neon Trees concert at Music in the Park in downtown! And since it was Bastille Day and all, I had to class it up and bring juicebox wine! Haha! The concert was great, even though it was super packed, and went bar hopping in downtown afterwards! As Kat says, it's always an adventure with us! haha!

Gio Time!

Tom had an off-site meeting so I got to look after Gio today! We had a great day hanging out at work!

Gio's new favorite thing is to sit in my lap! Haha! It takes a few minutes for him to get comfy but once he's on my lap, he dozes off! So funny! He probably thinks he's a little lap dog like Jacoby!

(This picture was from yesterday because I was too distracted by Gio to take any pics today!)

Go Quakes!

It was a lovely day to watch a soccer game! Went to the San Jose Earthquakes game yesterday with Tom and had a great time. The Quakes won 2-1! Even got to witness an amazing goal! I've never seen a goalie score a goal before! So cool!

One of the best parts about the game is that there are always food trucks! Yay!

Home Run Derby!

Watched the Home Run Derby today! I actually really look forward to it every year! Plus I liked the whole AL vs NL aspect and obviously loved David Ortiz being the captain for the AL!

I was rooting for AGon in the finals but Cano pulled it out and I was actually happy for him. He had his dad pitching to him and he was hitting absolute bombs!

Fun in the city!

I was a total fail and forgot to take any pictures to document my day! So I get to put my great drawing skills on display again! Hahaha!

I went up to the city with Tom so his dog could meet his brother's dogs.

Afterwards my brother met up with us and we went to Toronado for some awesome beer and then Rosamunde for some sausages! We then grabbed a few more drinks to round out the evening!

Fun filled day!

Had a great Saturday hanging out with Kat and Anh Thi!

In the early afternoon, I accompanied Kat to her coworker's bday BBQ at a park. The highlight of the BBQ were these little mini cupcakes her friend made all by hand!

Then we went to cheer on Anh Thi at her paddling race!

They didn't win a medal but it was still fun to watch and cheer her on!

That's her in the red hat!










Then randomly I checked Twitter and found out there would be some food trucks at New Park Mall for the Summerfest event. So on our way home we checked it out. Got some awesome BBQ Nachos from the Grill All Stars truck (I think that was their name) and even got self serve frozen yogurt from a food truck called Twisted Chill!

Afterwards we went back to Kat's place to help her pack! Anh Thi and I were there for moral support and to help drink wine! haha!

I love garlic!

 

Had a nice light Friday night dinner with Tom. We had some great bread with balsamic vinegar along with sauteed shrimp with lots of garlic! We also had some corn on the cob! And of course some great Spanish wine! It was like our own version of tapas!

Back on top!

Yesterday's Red Sox game was awesome for a few reasons!

First, they hit 6 home runs! And 3 of them back to back to back! Squuuuueeeeeeee!

Second, the gigglefest of DO and Remy was in full force after the boob grab incident! Hilarious!

Third, the Red Sox are back in FIRST PLACE! Wahooooooooo!

Cheeeeese!

I went to the dentist today and I had to confess something to her! I don't floss regularly! She was not happy about that. Haha!

So now my new goal is to floss daily! :D

(Yes I know this is an exciting post! I think one of my best! haha!)

So hot!

 

I am really not a summer person. This heat is killing me! Luckily there are things like this frozen yogurt to keep me cool! This is also not just any frozen yogurt! It's called Wow Cow from the Willow Glen Frozen Yogurt & Ice Cream Company and it's only 9 calories per ounce! Amazing!

Happy Birthday, Grandma!

Ohh and also Happy 4th of July!!!

Had dinner with the family for my grandmother's birthday. Had chinese food and was excited for my fortune cookie! I opened it up and was thrilled to see 2 fortunes because that had to mean I was super lucky! However, they were the same exact fortune! What a buzz kill! haha!

 

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July! I definitely heard fireworks but unfortunately didn't see any! Booooooo!

4th of July Eve!

What's a better way to celebrate 4th of July than to have ice cream cake! Yay!

Had a great bbq at Tom's sister & brother in law's house! Yummy food and good drinks! And of course we had ice cream cake!

One thing I did not enjoy was the heat! Ugh! This heat has got to stop! I am seriously melting away!

The best part of it all is that I don't have to get up early for work tomorrow! WOOHOO!

Silly dog!

Spent the day hanging out with this little rascal!

I think I tired him out because he only does the frog legs when he's super relaxing! haha! We went to the park where he tried to meet Gio which didn't go great...as my friend said...Jacoby is a fiesty blabbermouth so he was not being friendly!

Afterwards went to eat lunch and brought Jacoby along! Had a fun filled day!

Dinner of champions!

Didn't have anything to eat at home so I had to just drink wine as dinner! Which worked out wonderfully! Haha!

This one was in the case of wine that my brother brought me and it turned out to be a good wine. First I thought I didn't like it but after awhile I ended up really enjoying it!

What a great dinner! haha!

Also enjoyed drinking the wine while watching the Red Sox game! I can't believe they almost lost to the Astros! Good thing they pulled through! Otherwise I might've had to break into another bottle of wine! haha!
