We made our annual pilgrimage to the Malibu Chili Cook Off! What made this year so special is that Sophia got to be on stage with Dick Van Dyke(or "Bert" as Sophia calls him from Mary Poppins) to pull the winning car ticket.  She was looking forward to this moment for months.  She's a HUGE Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang fan so she was super excited to meet him and he did not disappoint.  We had 2 other couples with us and between the 3 families we had 11 kids so there was no relaxing this year but it was a really fun day! This was Bentley's first year really enjoying the rides and mommy and Presto went on a big flying ride together!

Presto was so proud...he won a prize all by himself!!

Road trip to Fresno!

Daddy had a work trip in Fresno so Preston, Mommy, and Olivia tagged along since mommy's good friend Kelly lives there! We stayed at Kelly's house so the boys could play and swim and mommy and Kelly could catch up.  All of us went out to dinner after Kevin got home from work and the kids loved playing together.  There was a LOT of hide and seek which Presto was fairly new at but Jakey was a pro!!

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!
