Liam's 1st Day of School

Liam started his first day of Pre-K. He goes 3 days a week. Here he is putting on his new Spiderman shoes he got for school.
 
 
I had him write his name so we could keep track of how it changes over the years!



Here he is proudly showing off his name on his first day of school!

 
He was excited to go into his yellow room. He had a great first day. I hope he really starts loving school this year.


Brielle's 2nd Birthday

Our princess turned 2! She loved opening presents!
 
 
She loves this doll my parents got her. It's her first doll with eyes that open and close.

 
We decorated the house in all pink!

 
Daddy made a special birthday tunnel for her to run through!



I made her this number 2 for her room. Thanks Pinterest!
 
She is turning into a little princess. She refuses to take off her princess pajamas. She usually wears them most of the day!

 
She had a princess themed party.

 
This year for party favors I did big balls. The kids loved playing with them at the party too.

 
Her is the birthday girl in her new tutu enjoying a pink cupcake.

 
She truly loved all of her presents.

 
The excitement on her face in this picture is so cute!

 
We sang Happy Birthday blew out candles about 6 times. She kept saying more more. Happy Birthday my sweet heart! We love you!

End of Summer

 
We got to go to a Colbie Callet and Gavin Degraw concert with some of our best friends. We had a great time!


We had excellent seats!
 
We also attended my niece's wedding. It was beautiful!

 
Here I am with all of my sisters!

 
It was a beautiful location.


 
Yes, I don't know how to rotate pictures after I put them in here. Can someone please teach me!

Bandon Trip

Here are some cute kids dressed up in Buzz costumes when we came back from Disneyland.

Liam calls her Baby Buzz!


We got to see Auntie Jamie. Liam loves her!

For our 6 year anniversary we went to Bandon for the weekend. We stopped at the animal park on our way there. We got to see a lot of great animals.


The kids went on a really Slooooow train ride with daddy.


After the park we stopped for ice cream treats. We asked for small ice cream cones. They brought Graham this one first. So I had to ask for smaller ones for the kids.


They enjoyed them very much!



We had a great time at the beach. There were beautiful sand dunes.


It was around 65 degrees. It was a nice break from our 95 degree weather.


I love the dramatic rocky coastline.


There were a lot of great tide pools to play in.


Liam did an I'm happy silly dance!

 We built a little sandcastle that Brielle continued to destroy after the picture.

Liam loved sliding down the sand dunes.

Overall we had a great time on our trip!

Southern California Trip

So yes I have been majorly slacking on updating pictures. Sorry!

Here we are at an Angels Baseball Game!


The kids enjoyed watching the game, they really enjoyed eating peanuts.


I got to see one of my really good friends and old roommate from college. We had a great time together! 


We got to see Graham's grandpa. They kids really loved spending time with him.


We surprised the kids with a trip to Disneyland!


They were so excited.

We got to go on the dumbo ride.


Brielle loved the merry go round.


We got to meet Mickey!


The kids enjoyed Mickey ice creams before the parade. 

The parade was one of the highlights for me. The kids were very excited to see all of the characters dance down the street. Their faces were priceless.


We stayed for the firework show, but of course the one night we were at Disneyland there was too much wind!



They each got to pick out one souvenir. Liam picked a Buzz Light Year Astro Blaster and Brielle picked out a lolly pop.

After Disneyland I threw my best friend's bachelorette party. We rented a boat in Newport and then went out to dinner. We had a great time!


Her wedding was beautiful.


She looked absolutely gorgeous.


We had a great 10 day vacation. We got to do a lot of great things and look forward to our next trip down there.
