Summer Fun....



As summer ends, we have had a blast. We ended with a birthday party at a stable that both girls LOVED! It had a petting zoo, bounce house, they got to ride a pony and more. It is such a joy to watch them grow up together. They truly love being around each other. Ava wants to do EVERYTHING that Malia is doing and Malia is such a wonderful and patient big sister. What a joy!!!


Malia is always happiest when her cousins are with her. Makenzie and Claudia are always so patient with her and Ava...what great girls.

California 2010

We had the BEST time on our California road trip! We left early (about 2 am) on Sat and got to our first stopping point (Elk Grove by Sacramento) at about 4. The girls did such an amazing job in the car both ways!!! We visited with family, went to Disneyland, and even snuck in a short stay in SanDiego so that we could go to SeaWorld. What a FABULOUS summer memory!

Malia was so excited to see the castle...she recognizes it from her Disney movies:-)

Playing in the water at the beach. Something about sand that makes you feel like a kid again!

Trying to break out!
Malia LOVED this jungle cruise.
Malia was chosen from the crowd to dance in the parade at Disneyland! Such a great time!
The Blue Horizon show at SeaWorld. I was in awe...especially because I LOVE dolphins!

Finding Nemo...I am not going to lie...the submarine had me a little claustrophobic!
Malia was so fascinated by the princesses...she kept staring and waving. Too cute.
Driving with Daddy!
Ava was not happy that I was paying attention to anything but her.
We had a wonderful dinner with Aaron's father and his two sisters. It was such a wonderful experience to meet with them.

This is Aaron's grandfather, Daddy Alfred. He had quite a bit to do with Aaron being the amazing father/husband he is today. We love him dearly.
