Bring on the summer fun...

To start our summer off we met our close friends, the Williams, at Mission Bay for a extremely fun filled water day. We loaded up on their awesome boat and had a blast for hours.














Auntie Lindsay graduated from college at UCSD and we all gathered together to celebrate, eating delicious food and hang out.   



The girls have been having so much fun playing outside in the sunshine and riding bikes together. 





We had so much fun going to the Del Mar Fair. Once with our friends, and once just with our little family. We loved eating all the fried food, petting and feeding all of the farm animals, and going on rides. We had a wonderful time!!





And...the most exciting thing to start off our summer is...Laylie is swimming!! We have had Mr. Andy teach her one-on-one for the last few weeks and she is now our swimming girl. Before swim lessons she would be so upset if she went under water...but now with Mr. Andy's amazing help, teaching, and encouragement, she is almost a full on swimmer. She is doing amazing and we are so proud of her. She is now having swim lessons with her closest girlfriend Chloe and is over-joyed to have a buddy in the water with her.











Watch Laylie's first time swimming by herself

Laylie is going under water to touch the bottom of the pool.
Way to go, girl!!

Laylie's Big Dancing Day

When Laylie was a baby, she loved music and moving her little body to any beat that came out of the speakers. At 15 months I put her in dance class, and now years later, she is still our dancing girl. The last 6 months we have been waking up each Friday morning, dressing her in the finest tights and tutus for her ballet and tap class. She loved going to dance each morning and would practice her dance for the recital every time. It was so amazing to see all the girls blossom and grow as they practiced hard and learned their dance for the summer recital. Well, today was the special day we have been waiting for....her dance recital as an Apple Blossom Fairy. She did such an amazing job on that big stage and she looked absolutely beautiful. We just love watching our little girl blossom and use the gifts God has given her.

Sometimes she takes our breath away and we can't believe that she is ours and how beautiful she is.








It was so much fun getting her ready for the big performance...A little blush, a little mascara, and her hair up in a tight bun.
