Mini vacation to Newport!

Mommy's good friend whom the kids call "the new Auntie Kelly" because mommy has so many friends named Kelly, has a house on the water in Newport Beach! Bentley, Olivia, and mommy took a trip down and spent time with Kell and her two little boys for a few days.  Bentley and Jake played a LOT of hide and seek and enjoyed our own private beach while mommy and Auntie Kelly "relaxed"(as much as you can with 4 kiddies.  The "old" Auntie Kelly and Uncle Ryan were also staying for the week very nearby so we spent an evening with them too...so fun!

A summer day on the farm...

We love our local farm and try and go as often as possible.  This was Olivia's first trip and we packed a lunch and had a blast! My favorite part is watching Sophia and Preston roll down the big hill...they get dizzy and dirty but that's the point right??  Mommy even took a ride around the farm on the cow train! Seems like the every time we've been there in the past I've been pregnant and unable to ride b/c it's too bumpy.  It was so fun! We saw lots of different berries and trees and I shared my cow seat with Bentley who seemed to enjoy sitting on mama's lap for a while I pointed out all the yummy farm foods:)

Our princess turned 11 weeks the day we went to the farm.  She is truly an angel.  We cannot get enough of her GIANT gummy smiles...her yummy smell, and her sweet cuddles.  Olivia you are making parenting a 4th child way too easy.  Thank you for sleeping so well and making us feel like we're doing a great job.  WE ABSOLUTELY ADORE YOU!!! xoxo

Girls Road Trip!

Sophia, Nana, Olivia, and mommy took a 4 day road trip to Walnut Creek to visit family.  We staying with Auntie Mary Ann and Uncle Jack and enjoyed every moment with them and our cousins.  Sophia was VERY spoiled by her cousin Parker who carried her around on his back and shoulders.  They also had lots of adventures in Auntie's yard.  The first night Sophia had a  blast throwing all kids of glow sticks in their pool followed by a bedtime story from AMA.  She was on CLOUD NINE for 4 days straight.  We ate mexican food one night, spent a day at the Jelly Belly Factory, watched cousin Parker's football practice, and experienced eating at the Black Bear(YUMMY!!).  Such a wonderful trip surrounded by family.  Uncle Jack even watched Dora with Phia!!! Miss Olivia was a dream.  She slept all the way up and all the way down...not so much as a peep in the car.  She also enjoyed being super spoiled by our Northern Cali family.  We will definitely be back!!!
