Alyssa's 13th Birthday Bonfire Bash!

Happy Birthday Alyssa! Her parents had a great beach bonfire party! It started early but we were not able to get down there until later in the evening. Lots of great food and company!

Makayla with birthday Princess Alyssa!

All the girls! Her friends are such sweet girls!

Fun photos around the lifeguard tower.

More tower poses.

Mylee finally arrives after her late afternoon nap with her Daddy. Now it's her turn with the birthday girl....but don't bother me, I'm lovin' my BBQ corn!

Chillin by the bonfire with my Daddy! Thanks for the invite, we had such a blast celebrating your birthday Alyssa!

Jon & Marcy's Wedding Reception

Congrats to Jon & Marcy! Some old friends from Ry's softball days way back when and our dentist too! Finally they make the big commitment and so excited that we could be a part of it. They had a little ceremony the night before in Long Beach with just family and then they decided to do a park gathering with friends and family! A totally neat idea and so them! We like the way they roll for sure! It was a fun, casual and relaxing afternoon of just play! Then to top it off they had an In n' Out truck come to feed us all! Man was that great!

Mylee is so happy with her cheeseburger! What' new....it's food and she loves it! And these are her new faces when we take pictures. Just adorable!

Mak & Daddy enjoying their burgers too!

Mylee took mine over with the lettuce and tomatoes. What a girl.

Mak making me do a silly face. She has her little tongue just peeking out a little bit! Silly goose!

Time to head home now but we have to stop to check out the ducks! Too bad we didn't get to take a picture of Jon or Marcy, they were busy catching up with all their guests.

Some more Princess poses by the duck pond. Too bad Mylee missed all this since she was sacked out!

See....sacked out! What a great day so far! Now to head home and nap before a beach birthday bon fire. Busy weekend for sure.

OC Fair

It's that time of year again to hit the OC Fair! We always have a great time there! This year Ryan arranged for us to meet up with one of his old friends from high school, Natalie. She also has two girls that are about the same age as ours so they should have a blast! I feel like I've known Nat for ever and have never met the girl just from holiday cards and FB. So nice to finally meet her and her girls! We had such a great evening with them!

Mak is excited to get there! She wanted to go ride on the big elephant first but we had to meet up with our friends first. By then she forgot about the elephant and wanted to ride the big slide first! One of her favorites from last year.

Now we're all a little hungry for some fair food! She wanted a corn dog and got ketchup all over her silly face! Great to be able to find a seat on the haystacks too. Just what the fair is all about!

Mylee lovin' her corn on the cob! She was a little hesitant with brown parts of the corn from teh BBQ but got over it pretty quickly because it was soooo yummy!

M&M and B&B girls! We finally met up again with Natalie, her girls and sister after bumping into some other old softball friends.

Silly girls being a Koala and Kangaroo! These potatoes are so good! Nice and hot with cheesy and ranch sauce!

Ry and Nat's reunion!

The girls on the Genie ride. Too bad Mylee was tired and in her stroller to join the fun. Too bad I don't trust that she'd sit still on the ride and not want to jump off!

We ended the night with a goldfish. This has been a little tradition that Makayla has developed from the fair. This girl doesn't forget a thing! Now for some funnel cake and home! It's been a fun and long evening! We stayed until pretty late! Thanks for the great time Nat, B&B and Celline! We must get together again soon!

Rainforest Cafe

We had a nice evening out to Rainforest Cafe since Makayla has earned so many gift cards for the summer reading program at the library! She just loves her books and reading and that makes us so happy!

I guess the balloon guy came by our table.

Mylee waiting so nicely for her food to arrive. She had a cute little balloon too but wasn't too interested.

American Girl

We went to check out the grove today after a birthday in the area. Look at what store we stumbled across? So cute these American girl dolls!

Meet Malia!  Her new itty bitty!

FCC VBS

Arriving at FCC's VBS. This is Mak's 2nd year attending. She loves it! This is one of the teachers for this week.

Her buddy Mia joins her again too! So cool that they get to be in the same room.

Baby sis, Myleeboo dropping sissy off. Have fun! I'll see you later Mak.  Maybe I can try it next year when I'm a little bit older.
