We had such a great time at the river with the Facers and Hutchings! It was toasty there but the river felt amazing and our little girls stayed inside most of the time with AC. Ethan had a blast with his 2 best pals and loved riding this inner tube, waverunners, and boating. And yes, us adults had a blast too with all of those fun toys but mostly with our great friends.

Beach Time With Hailey

We were able to keep our 14 year old niece Hailey with us for another week after her family left. We had so much fun with her and here is how we spent our Saturday together. While she was here we also went to see the movie Monte Carlo (super cute) for a girls night, get mani pedis, walk Rodeo drive, go out to eat, and shop. We had a lot of fun with her and think she is so amazing. Thanks QT.

4th Of July

We had a great 4th of July with family (Poultons, Nana McGuire, and Uncle Topher). We spent the afternoon swimming and diving in our friend's pool. Ethan had no fear and walked right up to the diving board and jumped off (with his floaties that is). We also had cannon ball contests, races, and friendly chicken fights. After, we went back to our house for a BBQ and to watch fireworks from the deck. Today was also our nephew Trent's birthday so we celebrated with an amazing chocolate cold stone cake and presents. Such a fun day!Trent, Ethan, Elise, and Alex.
My happy girl.
Kevin and I. Don't you love the hat?

Alexa's Blessing

We had such a special day celebrating Alexa's beautiful blessing. We had a lot of family come into town to be there for her. After the blessing we were able to enjoy the day together and have a wonderful lunch on the deck in the sunshine. My sweet baby girl.

Thanks so much for all of the love and support from family. It was so nice to have you there on Alex's special day.

Beach Day

We had so much fun with the Poultons, Kristopher, and my mom at the beach. It was a beautiful day and it was so nice to see "June Gloom" leave us. I just love feeling the warmth of the sun and the cool ocean water. The kids had a wonderful time playing in the sand, body surfing, and having a picnic lunch. Little Alexa came with us too but she hung out in the shade of our big umbrella.

Isn't she yummy?
