Little Flirt

Well this is the end of our trip and we have to go home. I am so not ready for summer to be over. I was wondering how am I going to keep the girls entertained. It went by so fast I didn't have time to think about it. But it was a great way to relax and wrap up our summer. We ate while we were at The Grove and Avery was flirting like crazy with the waiter, just pulling faces and she thought she was so funny. We made it to Mesquite and Jodie wanted to drive the rest of the way home, that would put us home between 2 or 3 AM way to long in the car. So we got a room at the Virgin River. Thank goodness we only paid $25 because it isn't worth a penny more. Now I am home posting instead of unloading 4 suitcases of laundry. I guess it won't go anywhere. Now only two months until my October Europe trip with my mom, and sister. We are going to Paris, Florence, and Rome. This will be my third time but I am excited because now I am older I think I will appreciate it more. Ciao!

American girl Dolls

Zoey and Addi have been eye balling the American Girl Doll magazine for the past year. So since we were in California we told them if they are good we will go and get them one. Well they definitely weren't good we constantly threatened them that i they didn't quite fighting they weren't getting a dang doll. Well who won. They know they will get what they want in the end. So we drove to LA and went to the Grove and found the famous store. This store is insane, they have a cafe for tea with your doll at $25 a plate and you need reservations, doll hospital, and hair salon at $15 for a style. They are cute but really I think their so sought after because there are only 4 stores in the US. Now what am I going to bribe them with.

Califonia Advetures

Avery would cheer happy, happy, happy yeah!






Avery your not quite tall enough yet maybe , you need your platform shoes


Well I think I am officially Disneyed out. We need to give it a rest for awhile. Between Disney World and Land Zoey has been 8 times, and Avery already 3 times. So we need a new place to hang out. As usual so much fun, and Addi and Zoey went on Tower of Terror again. I have bben on it 1 time and that was my last. I think it is too scary. I can't believe little kids can go on it and not the roller coaster, it's by far scarier.

Avery the adventure baby

I could just eat this baby up, she is so much fun. Her personality is huge and she loves to be funny.

Here's Addi

Our Addi is a little bit shy compared to her older sister. She likes to please and has been easy from day 1.

All Zoey

This girl is such a stinker, but lucky she's so cute and goofy sometimes you just have to laugh

Cali Sunset with my cute girls

I took the girls down for sunset pictures. So many turned out really cute so it is too hard to pick out y favorite. What I realized is that my babies are growing up too fast. Zoey is only six though she acts 16 and to me looks older for her age, Addi is hitting kindergarden and has gotten really tall this summer, and my baby Avery is not so much of a baby anymore. Im trying so hard to cherish every moment and treasure the small things they do.

Zoey and Addi take to Boggie Boarding

We bought a boogie board and these guys were pros. Addi got rolled a few times because she is so light, but kept coming back for more. Avery finally decided that water really wouldn't do anything to her if she ran away really fast when the waves reached her feet, then back to the water so basically tag all day long. She also played tag with the birdies.

Swimming at Julies

The girls had a blast at Julie's pool. Avery got pretty brave and had to have the shovel and googles for support.

Trip to Carlsbad California

Zoey and Addi's version of low budget rock band Addi on the drums with some forks Zoey on the shovel and spoons


We headed off to our annual trip to Carlsbad to see Julie, my old roommate and great friend. She moved to Carlsbad a few years ago and I have been jealous ever since. If I could move anywhere it would be there. Our first night there they had a party with 2 live bands. She has a back yard worthy of MTV Cribs and now it really felt like we were rockin. Her house is amazing. Paul her husband picked out a huge fat palm tree out front you can't miss her house. Zoey was in heaven she wanted autographs.
