8 Year Anniversary!

This weekend, Dustin and I went out of town on an anniversary trip! We had a fun time by ourselves without the kids! We went to Pismo overnight. We ate at Splash Cafe, we walked the pier, we looked at the shops, we got candy, toys for the kids, went to a late movie, sat in the hot tub and just enjoyed adult conversation. So glad we have each other. I love Dusty so much and am grateful for his love everyday!

Princess Birthday Party!

Mallory's 4th Birthday Party was today! 

She had thee best time!!! Her face all morning was priceless. She was so genuinely happy, I could barely stand it. 

We threw her a princess party. We invited Rapunzel to come and read books, dance with Mallory and do some face painting for her and her friends. 

All the girls looked so cute. The cake was adorable and super yummy! Rapunzel did an awesome job too. Mallory was absolutely smitten by her. She wanted to show Rapunzel her room and tell her all about her friends and be besties! It was so cute. 

The pictures tell everything! 

Love our sweet girl! Oh and Colty had a fun time too running around with all the kids!

Johns Incredible Pizza

For Mallory's actual birthday, Dustin and I told her we would take her out to eat at any restaurant, just the 3 of us. She wanted Colty to go and her grandma & grandpa & auntie. She is always so sweet and thinking of others. Mallory choose John's Incredible Pizza. She was a good girl and ate her pizza first. Nonna gave Mallory a stuffed animal doll she wanted and a little house for her tiny toy people. Nonna wanted to make sure Mallory got a gift on her actual birthday even though her party is this weekend. We had fun time following Mallory around and riding the train. :)

Happy 4th Birthday Mallory Ava!

Little Miss Mallory Ava is 4 years old today!!!

There is nothing I love more than this sassy girl. She is full of love, spunk and charm. 

She loves to love on her brother, cuddle and read books, watch any Barbie or princess movie, drink chocolate milk, eat cheese pizza and wear bows! 

She is quite to others in public but wild at home! 

Mallory talks very well and knows a little too much! 

She brings so much happiness to our home especially with all of her wild faces!

Drive-In Movies!

Dustin and I took the kids to Madera to the Drive-In movie theater. The movie doesn't start until 9 so we decided to see Transformers 3. The kids thought it was a blast to get popcorn and nachos and drink juice boxes from home while running around in the back of Daddy's truck! Aren't they adorable!

4th of July 2014

Today is my absolute favorite holiday!! Everything about Independence Day makes me smile! I love the swimming, the smell & taste of BBQing, the warm summer sun, Popsicles, fireworks, country music at Buchanan all surrounded by family!! I could not ask for more!!

I mean how cute are my littles!?!

We went to Buchanan this year like we have for at least the last 10 years!! Crazy, huh?! Dustin were dating 2 of those years and sat together! Ever since then both of our families and some friends go out and enjoy homemade ice-cream, games and visiting. A fun night for sure!

Baby #3- 15 Weeks

Baby #3- 15 weeks along. My first chalkboard this pregnancy. Oops. 

I've been busy chasing around our 2 kids and working 4 days a week!! 

I'm feeling okay so far! I've been nauseous in the mornings but I feel a lot better after I eat. I've thrown up a few random times but doing pretty good!! Just moving right along! The kids are excited. Mal is kind of sad it's not a girl but she said she will still hold him. Ha. She's gonna be a great helper. She already helps me a ton with Colton. She's great at telling him, it's ok, its ok when he cries! Colton knows there is a baby in my belly and kisses it but he doesn't really know what that means. He's not gonna like not being number 1 with mom anymore! He plays well with Dad so hopefully he'll be ok!!

Circus

The Circus came to town this week, as it does every year and we got free tickets!! My brother Brad's girlfriend had a few extra. We had a great time with her, her brother and Uncle Brad. The kids did awesome the first half of the show then Colton got a little wild the 2nd half but what do you expect for a 2 year old. We had a fun time. :)
