Palm Desert Getaway

We had an awesome little getaway with Oly and Peej and Boe, Chrissy, Charlie and Kate! The desert was perfect weather! We thought it was going to be SOOO HOT, but it was actually perfect! We did LOTS of swimming and playing outside. The boys took such great naps because they were so worn out! We then got to head to Balboa Island for a couple of days which was so fun. Lots of walks on the island and ferry, which conveniently always included a Balboa Bar! Oly and Peej are so helpful and it really does feel like a vacation for me! I even got to go to the spa and get a massage! Thanks for such a great vacation! Obviously I was on this trip even though there are no pictures of me:) I guess I am the photographer in this family! HAHA!

Dusty's 30th birthday!

We celebrated my hubby's 30th birthday a couple of weeks ago with a big party with all of our friends. Dusty started his day off doing what he loves best....playing golf! When he got home I wisked him away to the Ritz Carlton in Laguna where we checked in for our night's stay! We got ready and all dressed up and headed out to party! We have a good friend who is the GM at Bella Collina golf club in San Clemente and he graciously allowed us to have Dusty's party there. It was such a beautiful night and we had the best view from out on the patio! The night was filled with yummy food, good friends, and of course affirmations! At the end of the night we gathered around the firepit and we each got to share what we love and respect about Dusty. It was such a special night. The next morning my parents brought the boys to the Ritz and we all had a nice breakfast together....the perfect end to Dusty's 30th!

Dusty is FINALLY 30!

Breakfast the next morning with

our boys!

5 months old

Connor is 5 months old and reaching lots and lots of milestones! He is now a rolley poley! He rolls everywhere, including in his crib when I want him to stay on his tummy and sleep!!! The other day I was doing some computer work and set him on the play mat. When I came in he was half way across the room!!! HAHA! He still hasn't cut his bottom tooth, but it is definitely going to pop through any day (and he lets me know about it:). He loves to blow big slobbery raspberries and make lots of noise. He laughs and smiles all the time and just brings us so much joy! He can sit up by himself for small spurts at a time, before toppling over:) Next up....RICE CEREAL! Stay tuned....

4th of July

We headed straight to the beach this fourth of July! Del Mar is where we set up camp and had a fun day in the sun. At nap time we headed up to the Kortman's house and while the babies slept we relaxed by the pool. It was Karly's birthday so we fixed a yummy dinner, had Ina's flag cake, and celebrated with some good ole fashion fire works! It was a really fun day:)

Beebs and Dilly being quite patriotic!
