Scouting for the Baptism

the perfect spot for our son
Sophia's excited about it!

Daddy's little girl

I feel so blessed everyday of my life

We've been trying to decide where and when to

Baptize Noah and the perfect spot finally came to us!

Brian has been taking me for picnics for over 10years

to our "secret spot" in Laguna Beach and we have

always felt that this location would make for a great

something or another one day...well we figured it out!

Our "Secret Spot" is the perfect spot to Baptize our

precious son in the next month...we can't wait.

Happy Birthday Meech!!

All Meech wanted to do for her birthday was to spend the

day with her God children and to see them happy! Can you say

"perfect God mother"! So we made her wish come true!

We spent the day at South Coast, shopping, riding the carousel and

eating lunch with adult beverage of course!!!

What a wonderful day we had with the kids!

Happy Birthday Meech...best Sister EVER!!

11 months and standing in bed!

We woke up this morning to Noah standing in his crib

again...this is his new thing...not to mention

crawling the stairs!!! This kid is going to be walking

before we know it...slow down little man...

don't grow up so fast! Happy 11 month birthday!

Talega Concert in the Park

Sophia is obviously having a GREAT time!

Sophia & Lexi

Every other weekend in the summer time our

community offers concerts in the park in the evenings!

Our family really enjoys packing a picnic, running around

and listening to good music with friends!

And maybe having a little wine & beer too while

were there!!!

Happy Summer...finally!

Milkshake with my Little Lady

On Friday we started off the weekend right

with a dive up to the Irvine Spectrum

to daddy's work to visit him for lunch and play time.

Sophia decided that the best place for us to eat

would be Ruby's...she also told us that she wanted to

go to Ruby's so she could "hangout and take a nap there"!

This little lady of ours has fallen in LOVE with milkshakes

and now knows where she can find them!

Good thing mom & dad love them too!

Happy Weekend to everyone!

Kid's sleep in the weirdest positions

baby Noah...so cute

A Tribute to Grandma Cathy

eating sand...yummy
playing together...yeah...finally!!!
Time with Daddy to remember Grandma Cathy

Sophia and I baked...one of Cathy's favorite things to do

we did chocolate covered everything

which is right up Grandma Cathy's aisle!

the kids and I spent the morning at the beach too

Yesterday was 8 years of the passing of

Brian's mom Grandma Cathy. I'm grateful everyday that

I had the privilege of knowing her for 5 years

but it just breaks out hearts that she never got to see Brian & I

get married and that she never met Sophia & Noah.

We miss here tremendously everyday and know that

she is watching down on us!

Miss you mom/grandma!

2 Chef's, 1 Kitchen

loving playing together

Last minute happy hour!

with Margaritas of course!
I have to admit some of the best times are the ones
that aren't planned in advance...like last minute
happy hour with friends and margaritas! Ole!

The Party started...about two weeks ago...

Noah is officially crawling...
anywhere and everywhere...

and he is so much happier now...

that he can get where he wants to go...

and tooth #5 can out this morning!!!

Good Job Sophia teaching your baby

brother how to crawl...we are

so proud of both of you!

Shoe Shopping

Anyone who said that shopping for boy's wasn't as

much fun as shopping for girls is wrong!

I have to admit shopping for Noah is a blast,

equally as fun as shopping for Sophia!

Now that Noah is moving around, crawling, grabbing

his own toy's, sitting in bed, pulling himself into

the standing position we figured this little dude

needed so shoes with some support!!!
