Kittens



Mimi and Poppy's neighbor had 6 week old kittens living at their house. CJ and Sunshine baby loved the kittens. Miss B was not so sure, she liked them from far away. She screamed if the kittens got too close to her though.

Jellies



I just bought the girls new jellies at the old navy sale this weekend. They are so cute. I've never seen jellies so small before. I use to love these when I was little.

Babies!

On Sunday we got all the babies together for a photograph. These babies were born between the months of January and April. Here is a quick snapshot off my little camera. All the babies looked so cute. There were still about 4 or 5 babies missing from this photo.



I like the video because it shows what the photo shoot was really like.

She Likes It!

Well the girl likes rice cereal.  She has had it for a couple of weeks now.  I think it is helping her sleep longer at night too, which is always good.

Five Months Old



I can't believe our little baby girl is already five months old.  She is the HAPPIEST  baby I've ever known.  She brings so much joy to our home.

Beach Days

We just bought a state park pass in the beginning of August.  This past Wednesday we took advantage of it and went down to Bolsa Chica.  We had such a blast surfing and playing in the sand.  Miss B and Saxon had such a fun time playing together. 

They were so cute laying in the sand together I had to snap some pictures of them.
Hi kids!
M had no problem giving him some loves.

Happy 29th Birthday!

I celebrated my 29th birthday all day long.  In the morning I went to Disneyland and got a season pass.  I took my little buddy Miss B because she was free.
Small world.
Princesses in the window.
Presents at home waiting for me.
Sprinkles cup cakes and movies at night.  It was a pretty good birthday.  This will be my last birthday, by the way, I plan on staying 29 forever.

Leslie and Orion

One of my best friends from high school got married last weekend on August 8th.  She got married outside over looking the Dana Point Harbor.  It was so beautiful.  Leslie and Orion actually started dating because of our wedding.

The Girls


We went out to dinner with JB's parent's.  We did not have CJ with us because he was camping with his other grandparents.  Delaney and Sadie were hanging with JB's parents.  The girls had so much fun at Ruby's.
After dinner they were treated to a carousal ride.

Thank Heaven for Little Girls

I love my little dolls.  It is so much fun to dress them up.  I think they like it too.

River Trip

We took a last minute trip to the Colorado River.  It was so hot, but we had a blast playing in the water all day.  The water was probably about 80 degrees.  It felt so great.

Mamma and her babies.
Little sunshine.
A very brave M taking a ride behind the wave runner.
Miss B.  This was very unlike her.
Daddy with the kids.
C Monster learning how to surf by himself.  Earlier this week he went surfing with his cousin Wyatt behind the wave runner.  It was so cool to see them both surfing together.
This is one of the reasons I love the river.  Naps.  Even my four-year-old will take them there.
