Full of Smiles

Evelyn was just full of smiles so I had to capture them and post them up.

Two Months!

Evelyn is now two whole months and growing so big. She had her two month check up which she really didn't like since she had to get all her shots. She weighed in at 12 pounds and 4 ounces and is now 24 inches long.
She has been so fun to have around. She absolutely loves to go swimming so we go almost everyday. I tried to get her to help me with the laundry but it was just too much work for her and it wore her out just watching me. I guess she will have to wait to be put on the chore list, or maybe this is her way of getting out of them.

4 Blissful Years!

Kyle and I celebrated our anniversary on the 17th and it was a lot of fun. I can't believe it has been 4 years, it really has been a great marriage, with 4 moves, awesome vacations to Europe, Mexico and Hawaii, lovely law school and a new baby. I just can't image sharing my life and these experiences with anyone else. To celebrate I got my brother to take us on a flight in his airplane. It was so fun, we flew over to Catalina Island had some good lunch and then flew around some more. It was really neat to see all of Los Angeles, the beach, the temple and just the feeling of being in our own private plane. I haven't been in a small plane before, but with my brother as pilot I had no worries with the take-off and landing. Here are some pictures of my brother, his plane and some aerial shots of L.A. and the beach. I am very excited because Kyle gave me a wonderful gift certificate to a day spa and I really can't wait to use it. Later we went to the movies to watch Get Smart, it has been a while since we have been to the movies so it was nice. I am so thankful to have such a wonderful husband!

4th of July!

We had a great 4th of July and fun activities lately. We took a beach trip to Venice Beach which was really fun and nice to be out in the perfect weather smelling the lovely ocean air. It is always interesting to watch the street performers and see all the funky people that hang out at the beach, it keeps it quite entertaining. I love to just watch the waves of the ocean and feel the warm sand on my feet, it is so relaxing and a good way to release stress. Of course I couldn't come home without a sun burn so it's good old aloe vera for me. I just wish I could stay at the beach all day everyday.Actual day of the 4th was fun, it was sort of our first little family party. The rest of my family was over in Catalina Island so Kyle and I actually had the place to ourselves. The day started off by sleeping in and then heading over to Del Taco, of course, for lunch. It was off to Sport Chalet for daddy, a.k.a. Kyle, to look for a new pair of shoes. Unfortunately when you have a foot size of 13 it's hard to find some in stock. Back at the house we had our own little swim party and bbq. Evelyn loved swimming and I thought she looked so cute in her swimsuit. When we got in the spa she immediately feel asleep. Kyle cooked up some steak, hot dogs and corn-on-the-cob, it was all so good. We ended the day with watching some movies on my parents big screen and watching the Magic Mountain fireworks show from the balcony.
