Our favorite subjects...



I wish I could capture every moment, silly word, funny situation etc we experience with the kids but it's just impossible. They are by far our most favorite topic and what we are most proud of. Sophia is still so inquisitive, loving, and strong willed and Presto is really becomming quite the ham just like his sister(gives high fives and says "hi" to anyone who crosses his path!). In the evenings they love running after each other around the island or playing "hide and seek" which consists of Sophia saying "mommy come find me, I'm under the table". Presto follows her to all her "hiding places". She likes to tell us where to hide when it's our turn! When you say "I love you" to Sophia she answers "I love you more" OR "I love you more than the much and the most"(hilarious). Here are some pictures mainly bc we take so many but also b/c they grow so quickly!

I taught Presto what "under" is and when he says it, it sounsd like "unger". He likes to show me by crawling under the high chairs every morning!

Sophia is currently obsessed with anything princess and keeps count of how many crowns, necklaces, and pairs of princess shoes she has!


Uh oh...the only problem with having a princess in the house is also having a little prince who doesn't really know any better than to try on her princess shoes!

The many different faces of Presto while mesmorized by Toy Story!



Sophia's excema has been really bad this summer. We've noticed more heat rash induced so I put her hair up everyday and it seems to help a LOT!!


Toy Story(and Shrek) are the only movies they'll sit like this and watch...

Phia looks adorable in her minnie dress that she got for her birthday. Can't wait for her to wear it at Disneyland!!

Presto LOVES Woody("lello"). He must be accompanied by his cowboy hat or we'll hear "ha, ha, ha"(Presto's version of "hat") until we find it!





Santa Barbara at 30 weeks preggy!


This past weekend we snuck away for a wedding in SB! All my best girlfriends were present which was an added bonus! We spent Saturday eating breakfast burritos in IV and strolling around downtown(even the boys got pedicures with us!). The wedding was at the Bilmore and so beautiful and since we area spread all over the country now it was so nice to be in the same room with some of our favorite people:) Sunday BT took me to Ojai for my favorite pancakes!! We missed the kiddies terribly and of course picked up some toys for them at a really cute toy store in Ojai before heading home.

We had a little pre-wedding snack at The Biltmore overlooking the ocean before the wedding started. Baby was HUNGRY!!

The beautiful bride!



My most favorite ladies in the world!!



The food was amazing at the wedding. They had a lot of special touches but my favorite were the panini's, cookies, and wedding cake to go!

I had to include a picture of BT and Ryan getting pampered!

We love summer!


We've had so much fun with the kids this summer. Most weekends we're either enjoying the small pools and our daisy sprinkler in the bakcyard or we can be found relaxing by the pool! This past weekend we had the entire big pool to ourselves! It's been perfect weather and we haven't had a day over 90 which is so great for the kids. We take lots of different pictures of the kids around the house being silly so I wanted to document some just because. Sophia's latest accomplishment is she can count to 10 in spanish(she's done this for a few months). Her language skills AMAZE us! She asks me to read the "Mt. Kilimanjaro" Dora to her at night(she says it perfectly) and she loves experimenting with different languages(Bonjour is her new fav). Presto is repeating everything and loves to buckle everything and anything he can! His little leggies are getting soooo much better which makes us so happy and he still LOVES to sleep:)

Our favorite weekend activity(notice Preston's mouth open in every shot!)




The kids love the water! Presto loves drinking it and Sophia loves when Presto splashes her:)








Cheese break!


Fun around the house...









And a little photo shoot of our princess with our new camera lens:
