THE BIG #1

Wow did her first year fly by fast!

In between rain, 3 soccer games and a football game we were able to throw her a perfect birthday party and have everyone we love there...yes!!!

We are so grateful to have Shea in our family.

A few fun things about Shea are:

Her most unique laugh

Her happy disposition

She loves to babble on and on

She loves to dance and sing

She loves food

She loves her crib and sleeps 10 hours a night in it

(which I think officially makes her my favorite child :)

We are all still so smitten by her.

I was too busy socializing and did not get a great pic of her way cute birthday outfit.

The theme...Cupcakes of course.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHEA!!!

Thank you to all who came and made it such a perfect day!!

SOCCER SUPERSTARS...

Another reason that Fall is my most favorite time of year!!!!

I love my USC Football!!!

SCHOOL 2010....

We are ready for a great year.

I am excited that this year I will have all 3 of my kids who are in school all at the same school and out at the same time.

Here is to hoping they have their best year of learning yet!!!

END OF SUMMER...

FUN!!!

We went on a Cold Stone Tour.

Then it was time to head back to Disneyland after the long summer block out.

Bryce is in love with Minnie.

and is tall enough to go on a lot of the really fun rides like Thunder Mountain.

Next it was time for a trip to Sea World.

It was a perfect day with small crowds and gorgeous weather. We only do Sea World every few years and I like that you can see and do everything the park has to offer in one day.

this fish was so large and scary looking.

Both the boys loved the sharks.

The kids all even got to pick out a Souvenir and want this car when they turn 16.

Next up...

Riley's Farms to get us in the mood for Fall. I love it up there and we have tried to make it a tradition although the last few years we did not make it do to the craziness of soccer season.

getting the apples picked out for Cider

It takes lots of hard work to get the good stuff.

Mmmmm.

We also picked Raspberries.

and apples of course.

All our hard work made it easy to relax and take a nap.

This is my favorite thing to bring home from their bakery. Words cannot express the yumminess of this thing so I am hoping that the picture does it some justice. This alone was worth the 2 hour drive to get up there.

I am so ready for Fall, it is my most favorite time of the year!!!!
