My brother turned 19 this past week!
I will spare you the paragraphs I could write about how proud I am of him and how much I love him and just say this : he's the most humble, considerate, and hard working kid I know and he deserves all possible happiness this year and always.
For his birthday celebration, he wanted our family to rent a boat and ride around Balboa (stealing the idea from the me and the girls!) with some dinner and music. So with my dad as our boat's captain, we made our way through the water, enjoying a delicious dinner that my mom prepared for us, listening to The Beatles and just relaxing with bits of silliness in between.
Oh, and house hunting - those huge beachfront properties sure are fun to dream about!
If you're wondering, that's a homemade dark chocolate and almond butter cup in my hand right there! Seriously, I know I say it all the time, but my mom is amazing when it comes to making sure I never feel left out during meals with all my restrictions. You're the best, mama - thank you!
After our little cruise, we strolled along the boardwalk, watched the sun set, and headed home.
Did you do anything fun this weekend?
Have a happy Sunday and a great upcoming week!
Your pictures always turn out so pretty! What lens do you use? :D
ReplyDeleteThanks so much! For these I used the kit lens from the Nikon D90 and a 50mm for a few as well. :)
DeleteI spent a third of my paycheck on a bridesmaid dress and shoes yesterday - yikes! But it's a pretty dress, so I'm sure I'll wear it more than once. Have a happy Sunday, too, Kelle! :)
ReplyDeleteYikes, those dresses can seriously be so expensive, but if you can get more than one use out of it, the prices definitely sound more worth it. :) I'm sure it's beautiful!
DeleteThis looks like the perfect weekend! And you and your family look like such cool people. Happy Birthday to your brother... 19 seems like a lifetime ago to me now... but it is the age I met the love of my life and fell hard. ;)
ReplyDeleteThat's so sweet! Definitely an age you'll always remember and cherish, then! :)
DeleteThis birthday celebration seems absolutely perfect. Perfect.
ReplyDeleteAlmost every year, my brother's birthday plans get rained out! So we couldn't agree with you more. ;)
DeleteSuper cool. Beautiful pics. Keep on enjoying life, Kelle.
ReplyDeletePS: That salad... yum, yum. Spinach, cranberries, olive oil, nuts and feta cheese?
Good eye! Yes! With a yummy lemon/honey dressing on top! So delicious!
