Lory visits

Aunt Lory came to town about a month ago. She brought her grand daughter Hilary with her. It was nice because she is the same age as Miley and Irelyn. They were all able to play together. Lory is an amazing aunt!

Wonderful aunt Lory!

Lunch

Stolen from a friend, Tiffany, on Facebook. Octo-dog and mac-n-cheese. Miley loved it, Irelyn freaked out, lol.

Loma Linda visit

We headed to Loma Linda to visit with a couple of the nurses. Cameron got some Rams autographs for one of the nurses, Stephanie. We hadn't had a chance to give them to her yet, and so we scheduled a visit.
Of course, we had to bring presents :). We brought a bucket of snacks for all the Nicu staff, and personal gifts for a few of Miley and Irelyn's primary care nurses.



The bad thing was that the girls were so attached to me in the hospital, it was really hard to talk to the nurses. They both wanted me to hold them, they were just so shy! But, we visited for awhile and it was really great seeing two of the nurses. They truly make a difference in so many lives every day!
Afterwards, we took some pictures out in front of the hospital. The girls were no longer shy :).

Cupcakes

This is why you do not allow your child to eat a cupcake in the car.....

Katie's House

The girls always have such a fun time at my sister, Katie's house. They always want to go there. This was a special treat because Katie's friend, Tausha, was down from Northern California. She was visiting with her two daughters Reina and Keira. Everyone had a blast.

Beach day with Mommy and Daddy

A beautiful day at Newport Beach! We played, had ice cream, and walked down the pier. Man, I love my family!!!

Fun in the sand

Everyone should have ice cream on their head!

Delicious ice cream!

Summer Flowers

One of the projects I decided that we should do while I was off track was planting flowers. So, I was an old wheel barrow for sale at a garage sale. I figured it would be perfect to plant flowers in! We bought some soil and flowers and it was quite fun! The girls water their flowers every day, but they also like to use spoons to scoop out the soil and dump in different parts of the backyard. For the most part, most of the flowers are still alive, but it was such a learning experience!!!

Beach Day with Jacy

A busy summer day spent with Jacy on the beach. Jacy did a great job getting buckets of water from the ocean, since Miley and Irelyn wouldn't go in :). The girls just adore her.

Just another afternoon in the park :)
