What is life without friends??

In our case, what is life without the Zarlengo's?!?! We absolutely LOVE this family. Steve and Nate work together, and also click really well, and Autumn and I have become super close, super fast. And I love that. They moved about 3 minutes away a few months ago, so we get together a lot, needless to say :) And Jake and Kaleb have become best buddies, and play together pretty perfectly, most of the time, which makes our get-togethers even better. This post is a little tribute to them, with a HUGE thank you for adding some "spice" to our lives :)

On Memorial Day we met at Coronado Beach, and got some bad sunburns! Well, at least Steve and I did, haha. The little boys had a blast playing in the ocean, and would giggle at each other every time a wave would come up. Cuteness. The big boys had fun too, of course ;)

HA, the sand was CAKED on Jake's little bum!

So, Autumn and I go on a lot of bide rides together, and put the boys in the trailer behind one of the bikes (which is a BEAST to pull up hills, let me tell ya!!!). This is what happens on most of the bike rides, tee hee:

AND Autumn and I usually end up looking like this: dripping sweat with beet red faces. Hey, it's HOT here!

Our famous pizza that we're trying to perfect. We stole the idea from the Village Pizzeria in Coronado, it's called the Billy Goat, and it is YUM. Picture this: an olive oil/garlic base, TONS of mozz., sun dried tomatoes, roasted red peppers, goat cheese (it melts in your mouth, so good), fresh spinach a little wilted, purple onion, fresh basil and thickened balsamic vinegar drizzled on top. Oh my goodness, my mouth is watering as I type this.....

This is their dog, Boston. Jake wishes he was ours.

Yay for kiddie pools, backyards and hoses! And the fact that the Zarlengo's have all of them ;)
