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

pics scroll to older posts.

Mia really liked "laying out" at the beach.

She gets that from her grandma B.

cousins having fun in the sun

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.
Rick, Candice, and little Ari (Nicole's)
If anyone is wondering, Ari stands for Arianna
(I picked it )
Laith dressed up for his blessing

my dad and all the girls Bre, Nicole, Brooke, and me

It was great to go to Bre and Wally's ( I don't know

why I didn't get a pic of Wally but he was there :)

Mia and Ari- she wasn't even jealous when I held

her and said, "Sure I would like a little sister."
Sea World: we have passes through
Dec so we decided to take advantage
while we were at Bre's. Mia loves
animals especially polar bears.
picking up a starfish: we only had a half day but
it was still alot of fun.

They had a whole Sesame Street section so

she loved that

giving all the characters high fives. This is the end of

our vacation and we had so much fun. Mia keeps saying

can I go to the beach and Mickey Mouse's house next week?

We wish :)

Mia got to spend the week with "Brookie"

while we were in Jamaica.

Dressing up

Cute little stinker

Brooke and Mia

She had the best time. She was very

excited that we were home, but she wouldn't

let me change her diaper and said, "No only Brooke

can change me." She LOVED being with Brooke.

Thanks Brooke, we love you!!!!

Here's Mia dressing up a week ago
Just too precious

We went to Bonnie Springs Sunday and it

was a ghost town, no one was there. It was really nice.
