July? July? Anybody Seen July?

Did this last month just fly by for anybody else, or was it just me? Here is a pictorial documentation of last month's happenings.

Started the month off with Mark's favorite event of the year: 4th of July Pig Roast. Yum.


Mia tasted plums for the first time.


We checked out the OC fair


We got a TV. Don't get all excited, we're canceling cable (after only having it for 30 days) next week. Turns out we really haven't missed much over the last four years and can't justify spending $$ monthly on something neither one of us really enjoy.


Had some yummy frozen bananas on Balboa Island.


Addison got arrested.


Three precious children decided to all sleep together every night, which just melts me.


Spent a gorgeous Saturday morning at San Clemente beach.


Don't forget about the train ride to Fullerton and my morning out with the girls! What a sweet month it has been.

August will not be so sweet - Flavia leaves us for a week (to visit her the family she stayed with last time she was here) then returns only to leave us for good a few days later. Nope, not a sweet month at all. But we will carry on with happy hearts and relish the time we have left with her.

Oh, one last thing: HAPPY HALF BIRTHDAY ADDISON!!

so, we're just going to gloss over the fact that you have the head of a pig in a aluminum tray??

Waaaaaay too fast... what is with these months passing so quickly???
Loved your "month in pictures" post. Troy looked very happy in front of the tv...and Mia looked adorable munching on her first plumb.

August will be a great month! We will all miss Flavia a great deal, you will the most I am sure (or maybe Addison)... but there are good things to come! Troy's 2nd birthday is in August! And August means one month closer to your 30th Birthday celebration! Good things in August! So here's to August and hopefully no animal heads in trays!

Kendall still uses those food nets all the time and she's almost 15 months! I call them her banana nets because that's all I ever put in...and unfortunately it is also the messiest food to clean out of them!!

Crafty Me

I'm pretty excited because I'm not crafty, at all, but when I saw this idea on my new favorite crafty blog I got all giddy because I thought, "I can do that!" and so I did. And since my kids ARE crafty, go figure, I had all the stuff to make them on hand - yippee! All I had to do was buy the goodies that make the wings, which only cost me a dollar (thank you Dollar Tree!). I put them in the kid's little Easter buckets. I hope they like them as much I do. :-)

In a Nut Shell...

Saturday afternoon, 2pm, got home from Costco and thought I might be going into labor. Troy woke up from his nap at 3:30, sensed what was going on and was not too happy about it at all. Thinking it was pretty early, but not want wanting to take any chances, we left for the hospital a bit before 4 o'clock Yep, too early. Walked the halls for an hour which produced more of these... Which felt like this... And at 8:42pm they led to this... We are so thrilled to add a precious baby girl to our family We love you Mia Joy! (7lbs 2oz, 18.5" long)

I know that people come from good places and the intentions behind their comments are never bad, and sometimes they're actually funny, but sometimes I just want to say, um, really? Is that the BEST thing you can think of to say? Here are some of my faves from last week... "I'm going to un-friend you on facebook because you do not look like you just had a baby a week ago." - sorry? "What's her name? ... Oh I know SO MANY Mia's. Like, SO many." - great. "Are you guys finished yet? Is there some literature out there I can get for you (to teach you about prevention)?" (This one is my favorite) - "I'm the oldest of three and I am SO glad my parent's didn't have a fourth." - um... okay. This is the one I hear from almost everyone, it's not necessarily a bad thing to say, I just get it A LOT, "Two boys and two girls? Oh, the perfect family." Does that mean before Mia we had an imperfect family? I also hear endle
