Swagger Wagon!

I can't believe we actually did it...we bought our first minivan! I knew the day would come...being pregnant with our 3rd child we didn't really have many options. We got the VW Routan. It's a perfect fit for our family. The kids LOVE it. Harper calls it "Mommy's race car".
Cheeeeeeese balls!

Really?

Beach Day!

It was such a nice day today we decided to go to the beach. As always the girls had a blast.

Harper face planted right into the sand.

Rad trunks Pete :-)

Ella's Open House

Ella had her first open house at preschool. She was so excited. She said we all had to dress very fancy...and I needed to wear my wedding dress and Daddy should wear his shinny shoes. I told her I probably couldn't fit into my wedding dress with my belly, so she helped me pick something else out. It was so cute to watch her give us a tour of her school. She didn't leave out any details. We even got to see the bathroom:)
One proud Daddy!

Afternoon at the pool

While Ella was at preschool Harper & I went to visit Kara & Kaylee at the pool. The girls had so much fun.

Long Beach Aquarium

Their FAVORITE thing to do at the aquarium is pet the sting rays.

The seals were right next to the glass. Harper was giving him a kiss:)

Petting the sand sharks.

Another one of Ella's favorite things to do at the aquarium.

Fun Day!

Last Soccer Saturday

They were so proud when they got their awards. They did so well. Go Yellow Zebra's!

The girls #1 fan

Movie day

The girls & I went to see the Shrek movie today. It was super cute & the girls loved it too. They both sat through the entire movie eating their popcorn. After the movie the girls wanted their picture taken in front of this random movie poster. Then they played by the fountain outside. Fun day!
Ella was groovin' to the music on the lamppost.

Harper was 1 cm away from cracking her head open.

Cuties.

Afternoon at the beach

After running errands all day the girls asked if I would take them to the beach so they could collect shells & build castles. It turned out to be a great afternoon at the beach.

This is Harper's new face. Whenever I ask her to smile pretty this is what I get.

Cousin Ethan's 3rd B-day Party!

Getting ready for the birthday party.

Today we had Cousin Ethan's 3rd birthday party. The girls were so excited. They bounced in the bounce house, ate candy, sang happy birthday, ate candy, played with their cousins, played some games, and ate more candy (thanks Uncle Mike). It was so great to see everyone and be there for Ethan's 3rd birthday. We love you little man!

Pinata time!

Harper & Cousin Katie :)

Collecting the candy from the pinata.

Ella had the same idea.

Harper thought since Ethan didn't finish his cake she would. Way to go Harp!
