Summer Vacation!!

So we went on Vacation this summer with Bren's dad's family. 12 of us including 3 kids in car seats packed up in a 12 passenger van and started our journey to California!!
We drove halfway to Vegas the first day and spent sometime shopping and hanging out. Then we traveled the rest of the way to California! Bren got Blakely dressed that morning and decided to start a new fashion trend with the tag in front:)
 The next day we got up and went to Church and then headed to the beach to enjoy the rest of the afternoon. We went to Huntington Beach and had a great time. Mayz didnt like the ocean but she sure loved the sand. The boys did some boogie boarding while the girls watched and enjoyed the sunshine.
 Then it was time to go to Disneyland!!! We had talked about it so much with Mayz and she was so excited. But to our disappointment she did not love it so much. She was afraid of all the rides and did not want to meet the characters. She loved getting the princesses autographs but didn't want to get close for pictures. Stinking kid. She loved the parades because she could wave at them from a distance. Gotta love the girl. Most of us went back to the park around 10 and stayed till midnight when the park closed. We rode splash mountain 3 times in a row without even having to get off. It was great, we were soaked but had a blast!
 Our second day at Disneyland Mayz warmed up a little. But it wasn't until around 5 that we went on the Monster's Inc ride and she loved it and wanted to go again and then wanted to go ride all of the rides. So we only had a few hours to pack in as many rides as we could because we had to head back to Vegas that night. But we got a few in and she loved it so it was a sucess!!


We all slept in the next morning because we didnt get to Vegas till about 4 AM. We hung out at the pool because it was soooo hot and then headed home. It was a quick trip but we had an awesome time! Can't wait to take Mayz back to Disneyland, hopefully she wont be scared next time!!

Mayzie Update!

Well I cant believe it but my Mayzie girl is going to be 3 in a month. How did she get so big so fast?!? This girl is a ball of energy full of attitude and laughs. She is miss independent and wants to do everything by herself. She knows what she wants and is not afraid to say it. She is a goof ball and keeps me smiling all the time. She loves anything princess or disney, loves to play dress ups and have tea parties, loves to play with cousins and friends, loves her little sister, loves swimming and being outside, loves to snuggle up and watch a movie, loves to put on makeup and paint her finger nails, loves to help mom in the kitchen, and loves to play on my phone. We sure love this girl!!

Blakey Update!

Well Blakely is now 4 months old and I cannot believe it. She is such a great baby and just full of smiles. She is so easy to get a smile out of and her smile will just melt you. A few highlights- we blessed her in June, she won the strawberry days baby contest and got to ride in the parade, and went on her first vacation in July! At 4 months she loves to talk/yell, she loves to chew on her hands, she has rolled over twice, she hates tummy time, she has not lost any of that beautiful hair, she giggles and it is so sweet, she weighs 13lbs 6 oz, she usually sleeps through the night but is going through a bit of a rough patch right now, we are hoping it is a growth spurt or teething so we can get back to our normal routine, she loves Mayzie and lights up when she is around (usually), she is a bit of a momma's girl. We sure love our Blakers!!
