What, I didn't do anything!

She almost looks innocent but she had just torn a hole in Pablo (the monkey) and decided to take out his stuffing!

Brenna's birthday!!

Happy birthday Brenna!

We actually made it out to Vegas to celebrate Brenna's birthday with her! Although we didn't make it to the party, we had a nice birthday breakfast with the whole family as well as opened some presents with her. The kids are all getting so big and even though their ages range from 18 months - 14 years old, they all play so well together and love each other so much. It was a great time!

Finally meeting little Avery Alanah!!

After 1 year and 2 months we finally got to meet Avery Alanah (middle name after Aspen! awwwww) and she is so amazing! She has the most beautiful brown eyes and the sweetest little face! She fell in love with Kobie, suprise, and didn't want him to put her down. After an hour or so she finally ventured to me and Aspen but not for long. Gracie was a little angel while we were there... She crawled in Avery's playpen where she stayed for a lot of the time and played with Avery when she wasn't in it. It was a short but sweet visit since we were only there for a while but it was awesome to see the whole family. You can't tell from the pix but we did have other people there besides the kids! hahaha

Gracie and Madison :)

Catalina!!!

A few weeks ago Grandma came to Ventura to babysit the kids so mom and dad could go on a mini-vaca to Catalina! We were suppose to stay over night but cut the trip short and made it a day trip... I don't think we're ready to leave baby overnight yet! Anyways, here are just a couple pictures... it was gorgeous and we can't wait to go back with the kids!

Goodbye Long Beach!

Kayaking in the ocean! It was awesome! The water was super clear and it was so relaxing...

until Joey mentioned sharks

 

This is how clear the water was a little off shore... clear enough to see all the colorful fishies!
