California here I come...

We had a wonderful vacation with the Hansen's a few weeks ago. I'm not sure if we were brave or just stupid to take a 6 week old to the beach and Disneyland but we did! It all went well though and we had a great time! I have a million pictures of the kids but here are just a few...

Teacups with Grandpa!

Hailey was completely mesmerized by Cinderella! I've never seen her be so still. She loved all the princesses and hasn't stopped talking about them since!

Hailey trying to wait patiently for her turn with the princesses!



Fun with cousins!


Olivia's first beach experience!

What fun is the beach if you don't get buried in the sand?

Back to school!

Micah started preschool again this week. Same place as last year which I LOVE. He was very excited and I was much less teary this time! Hailey wanted to go too and was sad to see Micah go...it will definitely be an adjustment! I remembered to take pictures although I was 15 minutes late dropping him off. But we were all showered and dressed (except Olivia but she doesn't count) however Micah was the only one with his hair done. He does have a black eye though!...a small collision with mom's knee! I'm still getting use to this "getting 3 kids out the door by 9:00" thing. Luckily it's only preschool!


Of course Hailey wanted to be included in the pictures! How did my kids get so old?

LOTS to update!

So I've been a slacker updating everything but I'd like to think I have a good excuse! Three kids has definitely kept me busy. Everything is going well though and it's probably been the easiest adjustment to a new baby we've ever had. It helps that Micah and Hailey are really great at entertaining themselves! And Olivia has really been good. As long as I stay away from chocolate her fussiness is pretty minimal. She sleeps well and has even been going 6 hours at night! (Hope it lasts.) Poor thing has had a terrible case of baby acne though. But she's still pretty adorable in my opinion! So here is the what we've been up to the past 5 weeks...


A life long dream of mine has always been to see Paul McCartney in concert. Well, The Beatles really but unless someone invents a time machine that won't be possible. But Paul has always been my favorite Beatle. When I heard he was coming to town and I realized it was only a few days after Olivia was due I was bummed, I didn't think it would be possible. However, with Eric's support I realized this may very well be a once in a lifetime opportunity! So thanks to my dear, sweet mom that came out to stay with 9 day old Olivia as well as Micah and Hailey one of my biggest dreams came true! It was the most amazing concert! Paul was truly incredible!




Eric's parents came to come help out when Olivia was about 2 weeks old. Lots of fun entertainment came long as well! The boys went to a Beez game...

And we all went to Draper Days (except Olivia stayed at my sisters) and even in the heat the kids had a blast!


Kid sized rollar coster that I thought would scare Hailey but she laughed hysterically the entire time! She even wanted to sit all by herself!

And of course I had to add a little updated picture of Livvy. My BFF, Cara, knows all about my obsession for The Beatles and sent her this little onesy. Cutest thing ever!
