Life with our Cavaliers, Julio and Lola
We love getting into the Halloween spirit! Leon spends hours putting everything up. Ten hours to be exact. But so much fun. Everyone appreciates his efforts.
(Unless you’re arachnophobic! haha!) Check out the video of all the decorations.
We always choose a family theme. This year it was cowboys.
Even though the power was out, we had a great party. We hung lanterns and had battery power to play the music. Danced a lot! Ate a lot! It was fun!
We go to the Celtic festival in Grass Valley every year! We have a booth and I do face painting, glitter tattoos, and hair shimmers. The dogs love going too. They say “We love all the attention we get!”
“We love watching the parade almost as much as the people in the parade like watching us!” say Julio and Lola
One gentleman had a special request for some specific designs.
I love face painting. It’s an artistic outlet for me which I enjoy. However, I mostly love the joy that it brings to the kids.
They just light up when they see themselves in the mirror.
Julio and Lola watched us perform in Nevada City, CA. They are in almost every shot! Heehee.
Every year Virginie & Olivier Massart from France create a west coast swing dance routine. Dancers around the world learn it and everyone performs it in September and posts their version online. FUN!!!
We danced at our historic Chamber of Commerce court, in front of the vintage Court House, in front of historic Miners Foundry, and at our Salsa Sierra dance studio.
This year’s dancers are Phil Storey, Carie Dykes, Petra Maher, Sammi Bell, Valentyna Lane, Leon Fletcher, and Lucy Galbraith.
It’s Lola’s 4th birthday!! Such a good girl to wait until the song was finished before diving into her “cake”! She’s enjoying her pup-cake from Scraps Dog Bakery.
By the way Nevada County residents………if you mention our blog WhereAreJulioAndLola.com you’ll get 10% off when you shop at Scraps!!!!!
Every year a dance routine is learned online. Then on the first Saturday in September everyone around the world dances and submits a video to the facebook group. It’s fun to see the same routine performed in Japan, Germany, Australia, etc etc etc.
And it’s a very fun thing to do!
Almost everywhere we go – we bring our buggy. It’s so convenient.
It’s a Petgear Stroller.
Then 3 1/2 years later we got Lola. Our Christmas present to each other.
She is such a love
It all started back in 2012 when we got Julio.
While bringing him home, he promptly upchucked on Leon. That was the first and only time he’s gotten car sick. He’s been a perfect traveler ever since.
OMG he was so dang cute! I’ll post more pics later. First child = tons of pictures! haha
Julio and Lola go with us everywhere (well…… almost.) They have become somewhat famous in our town and people usually recognize them before seeing us. People will know their names but not ours! Haha.
We love to travel and do activities both in our hometown of Nevada City and on the road. We are artists, photographers, videographers, dance instructors, bloggers, and business owners…..plus we try to adhere to the Ketogenic way of eating.
