{ California Trip } Part Three

Our post-Mendocino stay was incredibly busy and uber fun!  Sean loves to spoil me... So he suggested we stay a week after we got back to Sac from camping.  *insert singing angels* There was so much going on that I split this section up into two posts. :) Enjoy!
July 31st is Harry Potter's birthday.  We're some serious geeks so...

 And you know your family members are true geeks when they point out that the scar is on the wrong side of the forehead.  We celebrated dear Harry that night with awful butter beer (my bad),  chocolate covered pretzel wands, witch hat brownies and the Harry Potter soundtrack.

This is what pure joy looks like.  Love my Trudy girl.

Our entire family had the opportunity to go fishing on a friend's property.  Us Hogges LOVEEEE fishing (it's a Grandpa Joe nostalgia thing) and I felt pretty cool teaching my hubby how to cast. :D

My cousin Manna hosted the most fabulous baby shower! It was so stinkin adorable. Not to brag... (okay, I am) but my cousins are pro party planners.  Need proof? Okay fine. ;)

Klaus was a little stud.  And then he did what all babies do and zonked.  And yes, my son is a little weirdy and sleeps better when his face is covered by a blanket.  And I allow it.  No judgy. 

 Angry baby! Hahaha....

Klaus loves his Auntie Manna.  And so do I. :)

So I'm one of those weird dog owners that celebrates my dogs "birthday" (adoption day).  It's become quite the event in my family.  My nieces LOVE it and even get her a plethora of presents each year.  It's cute.  Too cute. 

Sadie got too much peanut butter stuck to the roof of her mouth.. Sometimes you've gotta help a sista out.

How lucky am I? So much fun to be had.
