Family Fun!

We have had a lot of fun this past week, starting with pool day playgroup, then heading to the beach for beach day playgroup and then best of all seeing my little brother get married. My kids seem to like the pool and beach as much as I do which makes it so nice and so much more fun to take them.
Ellouise was chillin the whole time and was enjoying watching all the other kids play around.

Chloe and Evelyn have so much fun together, they love to run in the sand, try to catch the kites and make sandcastles together.
Slight moment of contention, still learning the whole sharing thing.

Once we hit the beach cousin Zach is in the water the entire time no matter how cold the water is.
Best of all the girls love to play salon and do each others hair, cause you always got to be lookin good!
On Friday my little brother Dylan and Jen were sealed for eternity together. It was a beautiful sealing and a wonderful day. It was so awesome to see them both so happy and truly in love. The day was perfect in L.A. and the reception turned out great with delicious food, cake and dancing.
The kids were anxiously awaiting their entrance.
Such the poser.
Loving sisters.
Best friends and cousins.
The beautiful ladies.

The handsome men.
We just all wanted to see how many they can handle.
Oh what a fun week and fun family time with friends and cousins.

Summer Update

Summertime has come and we have been keeping ourselves busy. We have been getting out to the pool very often and enjoying the sunshine at the beach. The two girls are doing just great and it has been so fun to see the interaction between the two of them grow. Ellouise can just sit and stare at Evelyn all day long and be fully entertained. Ellouise had a great 4month appointment, she is up to 16lbs, is in the 90th percentile for everything, has two full teeth and loves to roll over and over. She really is such a happy baby and just can't get any cuter.

This bigger girl, Evelyn really is such a character. I don't fully know exactly where all the energy and personality comes from. She can be a mess at times but I love her so much and love spending my days with her, even if I am completely drained at the end of the day. She requested to have her picture taken with her eyes closed, she was really trying not to smile.

I tell you this girl is either in her bathing suit or dance leotard all day long, with some sort of drink or food on her face, like I said she can be a mess at times, I could just start laughing when looking at this picture, she truly cracks me up.

More exciting news in the family two of my brothers both got engaged within about a week of each other. We are so excited for them and love the girls who will soon be joining our family this summer.
