Grandma M asked, how did you get Mia to pose

for those family pictures? Here's your answer.

She's just a ham, I don't know what else to say.

really?

I know I'm in trouble.

These are Mia's 2 yr old pics and our

new family pic. I thought I better get

another one before we have two kids

and no we aren't pregnant, I'm just always

thinking ahead. Enjoy Brooke, these are for you!

Well here we are at Sea World-I'm terrible at putting

posts in the right order but here is the start to our family

Spring Break trip- Thanks Bre and Wally for letting us stay

with you and save $. We love you!

As you can seethe polar bear was her favorite of all and yes

we ended up taking one home and no he has

not replaced poor dirty falling apart bear!

She was a trooper. She made it from 9 am til

4pm and even had an hour nap in the stroller (unheard of

for her) She watched 3 shows including Shamu,

Sea lions, and the pet show. She was beyond good for a

2yr old! Maybe she is ready for Disneyland?

she was walking around telling the polar bears,

okay boys go to sleep and be good boys, I will

come and tuck you in little baby boys.

She just loved the polar bears- no sunburns but

her eyes did get a little red both from just being

tired and the sun.

she wasn't sure about this one, but she went with it.
Rick wasn't either! That's why I made him do
it, I would've puked. She loved this snake one
that went up and down and kept saying mom,
I'm laughing outloud mom, I'm having so much
fun. It was precious!

Here's Mia singing me happy bday in the morning

of my birthday, so cute :) If you are wondering, at

the end she is saying YOUR WELCOME MOM

Mom's 31st bday party at Aunt Bre and Wally's

we went to eat spaghetti and Mia loved it. Thanks

Bre and Wally!

Does she look happy?

ya maybe it's the Sprite sugar rush?

I think this is the cuttest swimsuit

ever. I LOVE leapard print and it's

like a tankini . Cute!

look at this face? She saw something cool

do you see the wet head? Unfortunately

dad wasn't holding on very well and someone

went in head first and then refused to go into the

water the rest of the time. Hopefully she will this summer

in Newport.

see all the sand on her face?
she kept on running in saying it's going to
get me mom and running from the waves

So the day we got to Cali, we didn't

even go to Bre's. We went right to the

beach and she was seriously the

happiest kid on the earth. Strangers

were just loving her enthusiasm.

She was waiting 5 hours in the car for

this moment!
