Mom with a Plan

Five on Friday! July 17, 2020

Julie Gimeno

Happy Friday, Friends! It feels so good to be back! I thought this Friday post would be fun to bring you up to speed on what else we have been up to before all the COVID-19 drama happened to us. Let’s get down to it, shall we!

1// End of the year school pics!

Luke finished up 2nd grade and Tyler finished his first year of preschool. Luke didn’t have an end of the year celebration but he was able to go by his school and see his teacher, collect all his work done from the year and say his goodbyes to his amazing teacher, Mr.Coon!

Look how much he has changed in less than a year!! My baby boy is definitely growing up and a little too fast in my opinion.
I found these new white frames, you can find them Here, on Amazon. I also found these perfect First day/ Last day sheets to write in their information. You can find them HERE.
My Handsome Boy!

Tyler had a fun drive-by end of the year Luau celebration! His teacher, Mrs. Annemarie is so creative and shows such passion in everything she does.

Two cuties hanging out of my sunroof during the end-of-the-year drive by.
We are so thankful for Mrs. Annemarie!
This boy melts my heart everyday!
You can find the frame HERE and the first day/ last day sheets HERE
The end of the school year is always bittersweet!

2// Friends Over for BBQ, Beach & Pool Fun!

We had some of our friends visiting from LA & Ventura County for a weekend together. Jorge and Chris are so awesome with our boys and are like friend-Uncles to them. They are some of Jason’s oldest friends where he met Jorge in Spain and Chris in Paris when he was little. We loved meeting Jorge’s new girlfriend, Maria too.

We went to Doheny Beach in Dana Point and it was a gorgeous day!

We made sandcastles with a moat!

Tyler decorated it with cars, of course!

A highlight was seeing Luke boogie board for the first time and he LOVED it! Reminds me of my boogie boarding days when I was little.

It always feels safer when Dad is with you to help you do something new!
Ty Ty with “Uncle” Chris!
Back from the beach and straight into our pool!
Our neighbor friends, Graham & Henry came over to join in on the fun!

3// Father’s Day Recap:

We enjoyed Father’s Day this year at home. We had brunch reservations and ended up canceling plans due to the rise in Covid-19. I made brunch at home instead, opened gifts & cards, ordered in Italian Food, and had a relaxing afternoon in our pool!

We can’t help but spoil this special husband/Dad for that he is the absolute BEST!
Luke made a Lovebook for him! It turned out SO cute!
We grabbed this cute book where I asked Tyler a bunch of questions and he answered them about Jason and Tyler decorated each page.
I spoiled him with a new BOSE waterproof speaker from Nordstroms and a new outfit from Tommy Bahama. These shorts are so cool because they are also a bathing suit and they dry super fast so you can wear them as your day outfit too. You can find the BOSE speaker HERE. You can find the shirt HERE and swim shorts HERE.
This speaker has such great sound and is perfect for the beach, pool, lake, camping, you name it! You can find it HERE.
We are so thankful for everything Jason does for our family, we adore him and love him so much!
I posted this on social media and we weren’t able to spend Father’s Day together but my Dad is one amazing guy and I’m so thankful for our close relationship, his support, and everything he does for our family! I love him SO much!

4// The Fourth of July:

At this point, we were dealing with COVID-19 drama so we canceled our plans to be with friends and enjoyed the day together at home. We love our country so much and we celebrated its Birthday but also the hope that we can unite through all this turmoil and come out of it stronger and better for our children.

We enjoyed pool time, BBQing a traditional American meal, Cheeseburgers, tater tots, watermelon and cupcakes!

We finished the night up with watching fireworks on TV….so miss going to our cities big carnival and firework show and being with friends. But such is life during the pandemic. We are having to get used to plans canceling and making the most of it.

5// Summer Workbooks:

We like our boys to keep up with academics during the Summer so they aren’t rusty on their skills come the Fall when they return to school.

For Luke we have been happy with the Summer Bridge books that refresh on what he just learned and start on concepts that he will learn the following year. You can find this book, HERE

Tyler received some activity books from his Grandma and we are currently enjoying this one because it involves Stickers, his favorite!!

You can find this fun activity book HERE.

We do a few pages everyday together and he LOVES it!

I hope you all have a great weekend and see you back here next week!
