Trip to Newport beach: We had a

great time in Cali with all the cousins

and family. Mia was a great sport,

even slept on a blow up bed because

she is way too tall for a pack n play now.

We had tons of fun and there are a

million pictures. I have no idea why

there aren't any pics of Uncle Chris.

Sorry :(

This is on Balboa Island. We took the

kids and rode the ferry, ate at Crab Cooker,

got candy, and rode some rides.

Dad and Mia on ferry. Before I forget, Mia said some

pretty funny things on this trip:

Rick told her she looks beautiful and she said, no

dad I am not beautiful, I am cute!

Then Hailey said, there's mom Mia, she said,

no Hailey that is not her name, it is Candice

We walked into Forever 21 and she looked at me and

said, Wow mom this is cool! Look at all these clothes, then

started dancing, singing , and trying them on!!! We are in trouble!

I would say, look for a bunny and she would say, it's not a bunny

it's a rabbit or a tortoise instead of a turtle or a parrot instead of a bird.

She LOVES animals and she is so smart about their names.

Mia and Hailey: very different personalities

but they would fight one minute, the next cry

wondering where eachother was.

grandma and grandpa had their hands full

with grandkids but I know Mia LOVED every second

with them. Thanks mom and dad!!!
