One the TIPPY TOP of my Happy List this week is THIS GUY...we have had so much fun lately. I mean we always have fun but he took some time off and it was just nice having him around so much. Coco is having a hard time adjusting to normal life again and won't stop complaining about how much she misses Big Daddy...I would never complain but Coco never stops ;)
Having J home was great. Poor kid is in the middle of her hormonal teen years, teenagers are so hard. I think it was hard for her to be away from her friends but we are glad that she made the choice to come spend a little time with us. It was too short of a visit for us, but we are hoping that before the Summer is over she will grace us with her presence again. It is so weird not having her living with us full time. I doubt we will ever get use to it.
Time with my SISTERS!! Meg was here from Arkansas for two weeks, it was great to see her and spend time with her adorable babies!! OH and her hubz Aaron came for a week too, we really enjoyed spending time with him, it had been forever!
Aaron and Meg took a night away while they were here to celebrate their anniversary. The girls came and spent the night with us and their brother stayed with my folks. On the girl's summer bucket list was "Have a Tea Party at Auntie's House" So we did. How cute are these two?
Speaking of Summer Bucket Lists, they also had make S'mores. We love using out fire pit so we had the WHOLE family over for some toasted marshmallow goodness!! (that is Meg's husband smiling in the background. I think this is Aaron's first appearance on Dandelion Wishes)
We had TWO funfilled days at Gilroy Gardens. We bought my sister Amy's boys Season passes for Christmas so they used their passes on one day to get their cousins in. It was a lot of fun. My folks went and the weather was perfect both days and I just love that place.
Big Daddy even called in to work so he could come play with us. Watching him with these kids makes my heart smile. He is such an amazing Uncle. From going on all of the rides, to making our nephews baseball and basket ball games, to being a human jungle gym, to playing the Peanut Butter and Jelly Game...he is just super RAD! And we still have Camp Vasquez in our near future!!
Coco LOVED having so many people around to spoil her rotten. She really is the best little dog ever. SO patient letting the girls change her outfit a million times and letting them carry her around...all for kisses, even from Aunt Meg, who will go on record saying Coco is the ONLY dog she loves!
Even if ALL that playing tired her and everyone else out, worth it!
So yeah, this is a whole lot of HAPPY and soooo many things to smile about. But let me end with some serious cuteness, as if this whole post was not totally adorable right? Check out these two. We went to the movie. Everyone needs to wear fairy wings, sequinned hats and BIG sunglasses to the movies, right?
Today I merged my Happy List with Ten Things to Smile about at EmmyMom's place.

Your pictures are awesome! I'm totally stealing some of them...especially the one of Q in the fairy wings and Reese posing. Love it! Thanks for the fun 2 weeks. The girls want to go back to Auntie's magical room of toys! Thanks for being so much fun. I am totally aware of how lucky my kids are to have you for an auntie. Tell Fonzo that C misses his "buddy"!
That picture of you and amy and I really has me thinking that we need a girls weekend somewhere, no?
Super fun! Looks like tons of happy was going on! Cutest tea party ever! What cute kiddies. And super fun sister shot. What a bunch of foxy ladies!
That is a whole lot of cute photos. Nothing is better than smores and Daddy's with time off! Looks like summer is going well!
Well, your happy list is fan-freakin'-tastic! So happy for you that you spent time with your family.
As far as J is concerned....truly when they hit about nineteen, girls become delightful again. Just be patient.....it will come!
Thanks for hosting!
xo,
RJ
Looks like you've been having a lot of fun lately :)
So glad to see that you've been busy doing some really great things! There is nothing more exciting than spending time with family! Hope you have a lovely week!
What a Happy ... Happy List.
I think every teen is this way. I told my Mom sorry when my first child reached that age too. LOL They just have to figure out how to deal with those stupid harmones.
I love your family time and pictures. They just make me HAPPY to see them.
What a very full, adorable happy list! It's making me grin- family time is the BEST time! And there is nothing more attractive than a man who is good with kids. Swoon-worthy, for sure!
Poor J...that's not a fun ride for anyone, being hormone-ridden for the next 5-6 years. When I raised a teen (for 1.5 years), I actually DID call my mom and apologize for my behavior at that age. Perspective really makes a difference....
I'll go on record as admitting that I'm not a fan of little dogs....but Coco's affectionate personality and antics are just charming. I think she's an amazing pup, and definitely a perfect fit for your family. :)
Sounds like you have so much to be happy about! Loved the pictures :) It also looks like you guys have been very busy. That's so great!
That looks like the perfect weekend with Meg and her family. My goodness, Jordan looks so adult! Happy summer to you! :)
Aww, great vacation indeed! Hope you got plenty of relaxation! So glad your back though.
Seeing your family pictures makes me so HAPPY. Your nieces and nephews are so cute. So, so thrilled that you had such a good time.
And so happy to have you back to blogland, friend. =)
What a truly wonderful month!! Seriously looks like you had so much fun with family. I think my son would even like Coco- he is kind of afraid of dogs but she just seems so sweet.
You definitely can tell you are all sisters- so nice! I just went to my sister's house today (she lives about 1 1/2 hours away) always so nice to see sisters.
Thank you so much for linking up!
This post makes me happy.
Looks like SO MUCH FUN.
And that top picture...are you at Gilroy by that DAMN duck pond?? Purty. But I hate that pond.
