off to Crystal Cove beach

Happy

concerned

excited- Mia was really good on the trip

she definitely had her moments but I forget that

she is in the terrible two stage.

We debated about doing Disneyland

but it's only 10 minutes away from our condo

and she will cost money next year so we went and

we are so glad we did. This is Mia at the parade.

She even went out in the streets and danced with Winnie the Pooh

and we all know how much she likes to dance. She really had a blast,

went on about 7 rides, saw Disney characters, had a churro, and just was

a little trooper, she took a little nap in her stroller and even asked me if she

could go back next week.

Pluto -scroll to older posts we aren't

done yet

Mia's first whole icecream cone- down to the last bite
we biked down with the bike trailer to the beach

we took Mia to Toy Story 3 with Scott and Hailey-

her first movie, they have been before and it it

wasn't for the PG13 previews to scare the crap out

of all of them, she probably would have made it.

She made it for over an hour so I was proud of her,

she is only 2 even though she's as tall as a 4 year old.

The cutest part is that she kept hugging and kissing us

and telling us she loves us - she does this for two things-

when we feed her something she REALLY likes or she is doing

something she REALLY loves. It will melt your heart to pieces.

A stranger witnessed it at Disneyland and just thought it was adorable.

I promised him we really do feed her.

Grandma, Mia and Ari - we aren't done with

Nicole and Ari- Nicole drove 12 hours to get here

with all 3 kids by herself. Amazing mom!!

Mia at Laguna beach picking out shells
telling me something is gross. She HATES
being dirty. It is crazy. Her uncle Wally said
she's the cleanest beach digger he has ever seen.
Before we left, she dropped a popsicle in her room and
stained her carpet. She cried for an hour saying her room is
ruined forever and it will never be the same. Rick had to show her
it was fine. So funny.
mom and Mia digging at Laguna- notice we wore
jackets??

Scott digging at Newport

Mia digging at Newport- her and Scott

were so cute together at the beach, holding hands

and everything.

Then Sunday we went to Newport beach for

father's day. Here are some pics with my dad

n sisters.

Isn't my dad a hunk? I think so :)
It was great spending time with my dad and our
whole family on father's day.

Unfortunately at one point while taking these

pics, Hailey decided to chase some birds a mile

down the road so luckily we caught her. She

is so FAST!!

It was a great day!

We went to Bre's for Laith's blessing on Sat

This is a pic with all the grandkids.
