A trip to the American Girl Doll store!

Sophia and I took a trip out to the Grove to meet Auntie Kelly and Emma for a day of tea and doll buying! The store was huge and there were so many dolls(and clothes and accessories) to choose from but once the girls picked out their dolls we sat down for tea! The girls were given high chairs and teacups for their dolls which they got a kick out of.  Auntie Kelly and mama even got to have some adult conversation which was nice.  After tea and sandwiches we headed to Dylan's Candy Bar for some treats.  Such a fun day.  I see a lot of doll clothes buying in our future!

Olivia's 1 year stats!

 We have no idea how it happened but our sweet angel turned 1.  She's brought us so much joy and adds so much love to our family.  Olivia is our only baby who wasn't walking on or before her first birthday and we're A-ok with that! She's been standing on her own since Easter and crawls like a champ.  She loves to sleep(like her mama) and loves to eat(like the entire Tees family except for Miss Phia...ha!).  Her new "trick" is signing "more" and giving high fives.  Hoping her next years go much slower than her first year.  We love you baby girl!

                                                     Weight: 23lbs 7oz (83 %)

                                                     Height: 29 3/4th" (70th %)

                                                     Head: 45 1/3" (54%)

Fun with Watermelon for our big 1 year old!

We had a little fun in the backyard with Olivia eating a quarter of a watermelon.  Preston helped mama get some cute shots and he was VERY concerned with her being messy so in the end he got a towel and was trying to clean her up(and of course had to eat the rest of the watermelon). Once she got the hang of holding the big piece of watermelon Olivia went to town and was covered in it!  I especially love the ones of her bending over to get a better angle.  Her hair was even soaked by the end and the bow was long gone.  Here are some of the fun outtakes:)

Mommy/Bentley Disneyland Day

 Mama is now a proud owner of a Disneyland Annual Pass!! Wohooo!! Since Bentley is still free we figured we could take him a bunch of times until October.  He calls it "Pika House".  We took off after mama picked the older kiddos up from school around 11am and Bentley made it straight through to 8pm with no nap.  We always start off in the Tiki Room and Bentley and I got a dole whip drink to share while we watched the show.  He loved it and was bopping up and down! He also LOVED the Winnie the Pooh ride so we went on that one 2x.  Bentley loved Toon Town! We went on the fast roller coaster and Roger Rabbit which mommy loved:) The highlight of the trip was meeting Mickey.  We were headed to Cali Adventure and I spotted him.  Bentley wasn't scared at all and he gave Mickey a giant hug:) So so sweet.  We'd just started potty training right before the trip and he did so good and had zero accidents!  We sat and had coffee together at Cali Adventure at the end of our day. So sweet to spend time alone with our little B:) We will be back soon!!
