Mean mommy...

Why is Navi crying in this picture?


Because I stopped brushing her teeth and took her toothbrush away! What a mean mommy!

Just Yesterday...

How can it be that my baby girl already has 4 teeth, is into EVERYTHING, is on the lowest crib setting and trying to copy any noise you make. It seems like

just yesterday I was holding her in my arms for the first time.

I guess she is not a newborn anymore.

4th of July...

Was a long time ago, so I figured I should probably post about it! We were lucky enough to be in Cali this year for the 4th and spend the entire week with my Whole Family! It was so much fun. My family is BEYOND Crazy when we get together and it is one of my most favorite things in the whole world! This was Navi's first time at the beach. She wasn't too sure about the sand at first but once she realized she could eat it... It was game over. She Loved to play in the sand! There are WAY too many pictures here but it was too hard to narrow it down

so sorry for the photo overload!

First steps in the sand

Realizing you can eat it

Playing with her Aunti Melissa before bedtime

Brandon got to go riding a lot in Laguna.

our little Family on the 4th

The Cute table decorations on the 4th. Melissa never misses a detail when planning family party's. So fun.

Getting ready for fireworks (Navi LOVED them!)

This is the most normal picture of my family I have ever seen

Fireworks over the ocean is the best!

Cute Aubri swimming. I have never seen such a water baby. (Can't wait to see a whole lot more of this cutie when she moves her on Friday!)

Bonfire on the beach

Then Courtney Joined us for the rest of the trip (Finally we can have some decent pictures)

Birthday Breakfast at the Ohana Cafe. Hands down my favorite place to eat. EVER!

Janes. Tradition.

The Janes Crew (we missed you Jules and Ryan and Melissa)

I got to meet up with these two little loves. My best friend from High school Brittany and her cute boy Owen. He is one of Navi's boyfriends (see below)

Slipping some tongue action!

Navi posing as their daughter at the Gelato place. (best Gelato ever!)

It was so fun to hang out With Britt and Joe. I really wish they would just move up here already! (I am on a recruiting mission)

Beach Day!

This is right after she got wasted by a wave. (not an act of bad parenting. promise) Just a really big wave that caught everyone off guard.

Cute Meg Playing in the waves

And the Happiest/cutest boy Ever. My Nephew Shane!

This was the HUGE pile of sand that came out of Navi's swim suit after "the wave incident"

And What's a Cali trip without Brandon trying to eat a live fish right?

Thanks Cali Family for making that such a fun trip! I can't wait to do it again soon!

Navi's Masterpiece

I cant remember where I saw this idea but it was basically love at first site. I saw it way before Navi was even born and since then I have been dying to do it.  So Yesterday was my lucky day and Navi finally got to create her masterpiece! Check out the following pictures all courtesy of CourtneyBrooke 

We started with a 16x20 Canvas that I painted

then let her paint away!

So Excited!

She might have eaten a little paint...

(it was the non toxic kind don't worry)

Finished product. This is now hung proudly on the wall in her room

At the very end we took her painted hand prints and pressed them on the smaller yellow square canvas'. This project was so much fun and I highly recommend it. The total cost for the entire project was like $15 and SO worth every penny. I think it might have worked a little better if she was just a little bit older (like not still trying to put everything in her mouth) but overall... SUCCESS!
